ing.

CHAMBER TO HOLD
EVENING SESSION
Next Meeting OF c. Of c. To
Have Program Arranged
By Board Of Directors

In place of the regular noon day
session Of the Chamber of Commerce
next Wednesday, November %, an ev-
ening session of the chamber will be
held that day, it was announced
Thursday by Secretary Hoy l.. Rus
sell. The program will be in charge
of the members of fAe board of di.
rectors.
Thus far nothing has been divulged
to reveal the nature or character of
the program, but it is known that the
directors have been working to per-
feet their plans for some time. They
were to have staged their entertain
ment at this weeks chamber meeting
but were unable to bring their ar
rangements to wholly satisfactory
state.
The assurance is given in the alb
sence Of a definite pronouncement or
statement that "a good time will be
had by all' and that "those who fail
to attend will miss something" 1t
is more or less evident that the di-
rectors are endeavoring by this means
to create interest and curiosity in
their program and thereby stimulate
attendance. However the success of
other evening sessions in the past
would seem to justify a certain feel
ing Of confident expectation on the
part Of the chamber membership.
The dinner will be served by COM
mittee of ladies from the M. p church
Of whom Mrs. A. B. Jones is the chair
man.

DOES IT CATCH YOU
right in the back?

It may be that you are mysteriously at
tackled by pain in back, Qumbago), or
limbs, "neuralgic" pains-shooting any
where. Backache Of any kind is often
caused by kidney disorder, which means
that the kidneys are not working properly.
Poisonous matter and uric acid accumu-
late within the body in great abundance,
overworking the sick kidneys. Perhaps you
have become nervous, despondent, sick,
feverish, irritable, have spots appearing
before the eyes, bags under the lids, and
lack ambition to do things. The latest
and most effective means of overcoming
such trouble, is to drink plenty of water
between meals, and take single An-uric
(anti-uric) Tablet before each meal for q
while, or until recovered.
Simply ask your favorite druggist for
Doctor Pierce's Anuric Tablets (lidney
and backache remedy.
Send 10 cents to DR.. Pierce's Invalids
Hotel, Buffalo, N. Y, for trial package.
Many folks in town, as we'll as in
every place in Ohio, have been bene-
fitted as was Mr.. Johns.
Cincinnati, Ohio-"I had been
great sufferer from backache and kid
ney trouble. My work is pretty hard
on the back and ] got so bad that
could hardly bend over or staighten
myself up in the morning. | was in
such state that / was willing to try
anything and did try many things. /
heard of DR.. Pierce's Anuric (kidney
and backache) Tablets at last and
tried them, Two bottles took all the
pain and kink out of me. / want to
say 'Anuric' has them all beat. Al

Ne1U York Fight
 Verdicts Kicked

I New York, Aug 24.-There is some ss6hing decidedly wrong with the New BY ork system of arriving at fistic decf- sions- If one is to judge by the all most universal dissatisfaction that is 1 expressed from time to time with of x11cia1 verdicts handed down with all Esdue sole1nnity.
 2 Such a decision was handed down rat Ebbets Field Tuesday when frFTan6de Genaro was said to have
 sbeaten Pancho Villa, the Filipino, in 'sMen rounds Competent critics at the I ariugs idle felt that Villa would have ] been vastly abused young man if X Genaro was given draw Two judges sat at the points of vantage and man { aged to convince themselves that Gen Isaro was the winner
 The decision was only one of many I bad ones that have been made since fMhe present law went into effect sev- era1 years ago.

"Shanty'' House will leave for Tex ern League season to begin his new duties as line coach of the Texas Az gies who made a national football re- putation in the 1921 season by hand ing defeat to the famous Center College at Clark College, Worcester, College eleven. House who has been connected with the athletic faculty at Clark College, Worcester, for sev- eral seasons is conversant in all branches of sport and vii make a valuable asset to the Texas instftu- tion. The going of House to Texas probably means that this will be the last season he will be seen in East ern League baseball. "Shanty" plans to make his permanent home in the Lone Star state and if he decides to take a chance in the diamond pastime next season it will probably be with a Texas club.

Phil Douglas sees a ray of hope in Judge Landis reopening his disbar- ment case. In commenting on a let ter received from Douglas attorney, Judge Landis had the following to say:
 II have received letter from Douglass attorney" MT. Landis said "but MT. Lauterbach failed to state just what evidence he had to present. I wrote MT. Lauterbach, telling him that if he would have the evidence pre- sented in the form of an affidavit I would give the matter my attention and If the evidence is sufficient will reopen the case.
 Douglas has the right to appeal his case to the Commissioner" MT. sent evidence not already heard Tn the case which shows him guilty of the charges of the New York club.''
