Mrs. Fitzgerald, who resides at TAT

happiness comes with perfect health.
that is why she praises Miller'S Herb
Extract formerly called Herb juice.
Yes, she said, know what it is to
suffer; not only that but watched
my husband take medicine for years
without getting relief from rheu-
matte pains, headaches, stomach dis
orders and chronic constipation, but
was just as bad off with pains
through my back, stomach out of
order and the muscles in my legs
cramping and drawing until 1 could
hardly stand the pain. Then we
learned of this wonderful remedy,
and / must admit that it has been
the means of making life seem
worth while. This is the first Win
ter IN years that my husband has
been able to work steady, and he has
not had one sign of his former
trouble, says the rheumatism no
longer troubles him, has fine appe-
tite and never hear him complain.
As for myseh-well, am simply
new woman: no more pains or aches,
feel stronger and younger than /
have for years and know without
doupt that no medisine has ever
helped me and my husband like
Miller's Herb Extract has. Such a
wonderful remedy should be given a
trial by every one in poor health

CALLS CHRISTIANS
TO SOVIET PROTEST
Missions Board Secretary Declares
Prosecutions Without
Cause"

BY the Associated Press
NASHVILLE, Tenn, February pa
call to Christians of the world to pro-
test against the reported Entertainment
of missionaries in Soviet Russia was
made Saturday by Dr. w. G. Cram, gen.
eral secretary of the board of missions
of the Methodist Episcopal Church
South.
Reviewing advices from the Method
1st mission in VladivoStok, which told
of the arrest and imprisonment of
Christian missionaries, their deporta-
ton from Siberia without cause and
refusal of the Soviet government to is
sue tickets permitting them to buy
bread, Dr. Cram said:
The situation in Soviet Russia with
references to the persecution of the
Christians is one that should arouse
the Christian forces of the world to
register vigorous protest"
DR.. Cram said Yu Cha Hoon, a young
man who was educated by the Method
ist mission in Korea and who was sent
to Siberia two years ago, told him that
the Soviet authorities are trying to
Starve all the Christians by depriving
them of the right to buy bread and
other commodities AS a result, he re-
ported Christians In Vladivostok and
vicinity have to get bread by buying it
from private individuals at more than
dve times the original price"

FAILURE OF CHUTE
KILLS DEAF BOXER
."Dummy" Mahan, in Quest OF
Cure, PIunges $500 Feet
at San Francisco.

@oy the ASSoCldteu fTeSS.
SAN FRANCISCO, February "a
Fred Dummy Mahan, leading well
terweight boxer, was dead today, the
victim of a parachute plunge under
taken to cure him of childhood
T1alady which had robbed him of his
speech ana nearing.
Mahan fell 5000 feet at Mills Field
yesterday after ms parachute had failed
to open. The accident was witnessed
by a large crowd, including several
deaf mutes. who had gathered to watch
the drop.
The drop was one of several efforts
made by Mahan to regain his voice
and hearing. He had made one pre-
vious parachute leap and a fast dive
in an airplane. After these experiences
he wrote that he could hear for several
hours.
Although disuaded by his manager,
Fred Windy Winsor, from attempting
the long leap, Mahan climbed into the
cockpit of plane piloted by Col. Harry
Abbott of Berkeley.
Abbott. inventor of fool proof"
parachute. said he instructed Mahan by
writing that he was to count six be-
fore pulling the ripcord of the para
chute The long drop, it was thought.
possibly would restore Mahan's speech
and hearing. The parachute did not
open.
Mahan. % years old, was a veteran
of many ring battles. His right name
was FREDERICK Mesa and he was a ma
tive of Tombstone, Ariz. The boxer
had fought two champions, Jackie
Fields and MuShy Callahan, and last
Wednesday won a knockout victory over
Arizona Joe Rivers in San Francisco
E411 Z
fights.
He is survived by his stepfather, Will
liam Mahan, and his mother, who re-
side at Bracketville, Tex.
