CORBETT SHOCKED

Shimmy Baked Him-Here for Lecture

day. He spoke Wednesday night
at the Indianapolis Athletic Club.
There was little of the prizefghter
about the wellgroomed man, with
his shellrimmed glasses-no "cauli-
flower" ears, no broken tingernails
or ill-shaped fingers.
Rather he looked the part of the
actors--a part the one-time worlds
heavyweight champion played from
the time he left the ring twenty
three years ago until he started
lecturing in January.
IT'S an unnatural age, a wicked
age''-the interview had reached the
inevitable younger generation stage.
Il know young people" the prize
Observation-Disclosures went on, now
in the lecture role. "I have kept
young by living with them"
Although he is SO, Corbett has not
gray hair and looks about 40
to As.
IL dance with them, their modern
dances-but I'm not a good dancer,
he said. why, | remember the first
time I danced In a ballroom | just

1t was said almost boyishly, with
hearty laugh.
But nowadays. why, If a girl
slips, her partner just grabs her and
pulls her up" he resumed.
He demonstrated realistically, once
more the actor.

repeated. But, do you know, l never

That was Jim Corbett, the man,
simple at heart-not acting, now.
That was Corbett, the lecturer,
who loved the ring. as every fighter
loves it, who liked the sociability of
the stage but who thinks he will
keep on lecturing, now that he has
proved to himself he can talk for
an hour and a half-he wasn't sure,
when he started out.
II feel as If 1 were doing some
good" he explained.
He said it simply. He was not
preaching.

Milk of Magnesia Users

Science Combines Milk of Magnesia
With Mineral Oil to Fight Con-
stipatiOn and Acidosis.

Modern civilization with it's heavy
overeating and it's lack of exercise has
brought two great foes Of human
health constipation and acidosis (sour
stomach. Your indigestion, heart
burn, that dark brown taste in the
morning-are all symptoms of this con-
diton.
Milk of magnesia is fine for neutral
izing harmful stomach acids, but milk
of magnesia alone, only goes half
way. Therefore Science has combined
pure mineral oil with this splendid
agent.
Haley's Magnesia-Oil Is the name of
this perfect emulsion upon which the
U. :. Government has granted q patent.
The milk of magnesia counteracts
and neutralizes the acids and the min
eral oil lubricates the intestines, over
coming constipation naturally without
forming a habit. Haley's MO can be
taken safely by young or old. 1t is
non -habit-forming and contains no
drugs or other harmful agents.

POSTMASTER GEARY PRESIDENT.

Postmaster Eugene C. Geary of Wood.
stock has been signally honored by
being elected as the first president Of
the Postal Employees Mutual Benefit
Association of Virginia.
The Association was organized a
year ago among those connected with
the postal service in Virginia and dur
ing the interim pending the selection
of officers committee has had charge
of the organization.
Mr.. Geary's election came to him as
an unsolicited evidence of the faith OF
his fellow government employees in
his integrity and business acumen, and
he will take into the office long ex-
perience as a bsnker. business man
and insurance agent. Probably no
member of the Association possesses
the qualifications for the office OF
President which Mr.. Geary has.
Before being appointed postmaster
to succeed William M. Calvert Mr..
Geary served as assistant cashier of

The twenty-third annual Injecting OF
Shenandoah County Mutual Telephone

The Mutual Company in Shenandoah
county is unique among the similar
organizations in the State in that II mas
no outside affiliations or internal en-
taaglements which in any wise inter-
fere with the absolute control and
policy of the company by its share
holders. True it has long distance
switchboard connection for those
phoneholders wanting this service but
this service is given under an agree

which the Mutual .Compan derives
considerable revenue.

report showed gross receipts during
the year, plus small balance carried
over of $15,S57.82 with expenditures
of 15,772.35. leaving a balance OF
$85.47. However this report was
amended to include cash which the
company had deposited in the several
banks of the county which showed ac-
tual cash assets of $SS724. Among the
items of income the largest was that
of dues, long distance commissions and
connections which amounted to s14,-

chief charges were $4,SS5.S5 for switch
board operators and 81, 449. Sc for labor.
Treasurer Miley stated that the past
year was one of unusual hardships for
the company because of unprecedented
storms and rough weather, unavoid-
able litigation and some minor losses.

company ended the year in good
