Beyond the pines glimmered a faint

Relief from Gas
Stomach Pains
Dizziness

The doctors tell us that 80 per cent
of all sickness is due to stomach and
bowel troubles. You can't be well if
your digestion is bad; you are likely
to get sick unless you relish food and
digest it properly.
Tanlac has a wonderful record as a
relief from digestive troubles, even
those of years standing.
Local people, many of whom you
know, are highly endorsing Tanlac.
For example, Mrs. Ellen White says:
"For years I suffered from indiges.
ton. got no relief from anything
until took Tanlac. After my fourth
bottle, feel like new person and
have a fine appetite"
If you suffer from gas, pains in the
stomach or bowels, dizziness, nausea,
constipation, or torpid liver; If you
have no appetite, can't sleep and are
nervous and all run down, you need
Tanlac. 1t is good, pure medicine,
made of roots, herbs and barks. Get
a bottle from your druggist today.
Money back if it doesn't help you.

Hopes For Valley
Air Mail Grow

In reply to kilograms sent yester-
dav by the FL Centre Chamber of
Commerce to Washington, d. c., urg-
ing the passage of the Waters Con
tract air mail bill, Senator Hiram
Johnson telegraphed that this meas
urs which provides the only sound
basis for continued development of
commercial aviation and likewise
rational expansion of the air mail
service, has passed the senate.
The FL Centro chamber also urged
that the Imperial County Airport
be designated as an air mail port,
pointing out that it is completely
lighted and equipped for night fly
ing and that a community of $4,000
persons needs air mail service, which
,, could only be given to the valley
by the use of the county airport
as an air mail port.
For the past two wears the FL
, Centre chamber has worked toward
the end of southern air mail route
which would include Imperial coun.
". and It was with this in mind
that ettorls were put forth to eauip
the county airport properly IN order
that it would meet the government
requirements as a landing port when
| the air mail route became estab.
! lished. The county airport is the
only field in this section of the
country which has the lighting and
other requirements demanded by the
government and the local chamber
is very hopeful that it will be des.
ignated as stopping place for the
ar mail planes when the southern
] route is established.

CENTRAL TEAM
RUNS WILD ON
IMPERIAL Nine

/ Spring football training at Cen
tral Union which has been under
! way for some time past had its in
fluence on the baseball squad Sat
urday afternoon when the loca'
boys trimmed Imperial by five
touchdowns and one goal, to &
safety, the final score being 312.
Central started right out in the
first frame and tailed in every in
ming except the seventh, their big
rally being put on in the fourth
I when eight scores crossed the plate
The locals mixed their "a hits with
II Imperial errors to run up the
highest score yet recorded in the
county league play and turned what
had promised to be real ball game
into a massacre. At that there may
have been some conspiracy afoot to
get the Central boys to run them
selves to death.
After it was evident that the
game was in the bag, T. Ehmke
was given chance to rest and G.
Ehmke and O'Guin took up the
hurting burden but this did NOS
give the airport boys any more OPP
portunity than they had at first
they just couldn't manufacture runs
in any satisfying quantity. Beside
pitching good game while in the
box, Ted gathered in five hits to
boost his average. Cary got the
same number of bingles. Price and
"a oh oil fnr of
81 runs, each crossing the platter
six times. The team as whole
played well in the field, but two
errors being chalked up against
them, neither of which caused
much damage when the total score
is considered.
The work of the three Ell Centre
pitchers shows the Following: T.
Ehmke, who worked the first four
innings, allowed four hits, issued
one base on balls and famed three :;
O'Guin, who took up the burden in
the fifth and sixth, allowed one
hit, gave three passes and famed
two; while j. Ahmmke, twirling the
last three frames, gave two hits, no
bases on balls and struck out six
of the opposition.
Next Saturday the local team
travels to Brawley to take on the
team of that city. THIS is expected
to be tough game and plenty of
practice is in store for the boys this
week in spite of their workout Sat-
urday. Central Union is still hang
ing on to second place with but
two games remaining before their
next chance to even matters up
with Calexico.

PACIFIC COAST
LEAGUE GAMES

SAN FRANCISCO, April 2S. (U.H)
The seldom seen phenomenon of
Monday baseball in the Pacific coast
league occurs today when the Mis-
sions play a doubleheader at Port
land, because of the calling of the
Sunday games on account of rain.
Portland, having dropped 4 out of
IS to the Missions during the week,
was making valiant last stand,
when rain stopped the game in the
fifth, with the score at / run apiece.
Both games were cancelled and the
playoff will be today.
After the games the Reds will hop
to Seattle where they tackle the
Indians on Tuesday.
Portland, the league tail enders,
will be hosts to Hollywood this week.
Hollywood, although it took both
games on Sunday, lost the series to
the Indians, 4 to 3, and is set for
q better week at the Beavers cX-
pense.
Oakland, in first place in the
league standings, will drop III ut
Wrigley Field tomorrow, for series
with the Angels. The Oaks took a
4 to 3 series from the san Fran
cisco Seals last week, splitting the
final doubleheadcr.
Sacramento, fresh from to =
series win over Los Angeles will
come TO San Francisco for a week
in the lair of the Seals. The Senators
took the Angeles for ride last
week, although the Sunday games
were split-Sacramento losing the
