A. playing league contests (or first time. Commerce High first team and the Council Bluffs High school five have joined the ranks of the Greater Oma ha league, the class A boys, while the Commerce Reserve and South High will play in the Commercial league. ' High school followers no doubt will turn out in full force to cheer their favorites on to victory as the rivalry between the different schools is intense and snappy Rimes are looked for. ' Central Failed to Enter. . Central High school at first in tended to fall in line with the other schools and join the Greater Omaha league, but for some unknown rea son Coach Mulligan did not enter his squad. . Coach White of the Council Bluffs quintet is confident of carrying off the flag in the Greater Omaha circuit. . . The Council Bluffs five this year will be composed of an entirely new squad, not a player of last year's team in the lineup. . How the teams in the Commercial and Greater Omaha league will line up the opening games is still unde cided.as the schedule committee will meet Saturday ajfternopn. Piesbytetians Withdrew. , Although there were no games originally scheduled at the "Y" Sat urday night, two ganys probably will be staged. One game, however, is certain that between the First Christians of Council Bluffs, last year's title holders of the Church league, and the Per.rl Memorials, runners-up. The PearJ Memorials were scheduled to play the United Presbyterians of South Side last Tuesday night, the opening of'the Church league schedule, but since their opponents withdrew at the eleventh hour, too late for the cham pions to make their appeirince, the game was scheduled for Saturday "ITVASABIG SURPRISE," SAYS FARMER BOYD Had Been Troubled More or Less, for Thirty. Years Feels Fine Since Taking Tanlac. "I was just telling my wife the other day that this is the first time in twenty years I have felt like making ready for an old-fashioned Christmas dinner," said John Boyd, a prosperous farmer, R. F. D. 1, Peoria, 111., while telling on Decem ber 13, in Sutliff & Case's drug rlni.A a V vamoi1aMA Vniof if VlO had receid from Tanlac. Continuing-, he said: "I live ten miles from here and m in a hurry to get back home, but I wouldn't go back without a bottle of Tanlac if I had to stay in town all night long to get it. I have suf fered more or less with stomach trouble for thirty years," he went on, "and Tanlac is fhe only med icine I have ever found that did me a particle of good, and this is say ing a great deal, for I have tried a lrt- tP Ai-fta-rani- Vinfta in trior fimp. I had a burning in my stomach all 1 1 a: 3 J T Lilt; uine mm eveiy lew ua.va i wuum have terrible spells of cramps, caused by something I ate. I was always miserable. I- had a very poor appetite and just had to force down every mouthful I ate, and I haven't been able to eat a single meal in all these thirty years with any satisfaction. I could get but little sleep as I was so restless I would just roll and toss from one side of the bed to the other all night long. I continued to get worse until I became so weak and run down I was unable to work and for months before I began taking Tan lac I hadn't been away from home, and it was all I could do to drag myself around at all. "When I began taking Tanlac I had been in this bad condition so long and had tried so many dif ferent medicines without getting the least benefit from them I had given , up all hope of ever getting any better, but only a few days after I started" taking it I was a happy man, for I noticed I was getting better with every dose, I con tinued taking Tanlac and my amje tite continued to improve until it was almost impossible for my wife to cook enough for me to eat, and the best part of it all was that I eould eat all I wanted and anything I .wanted without suffering the least bit from it afterwards. .That burning in my stomach, those ter- , rible cramping pains and the bloat ing, left mo so suddenly I was actually surprised. And sleep! Why, I can sleep just as sound as a log all .night long without ever waking up once, and always wake up feeling fine and full of energy and ready for my work. I have re- gained my strength so I can do as much work as I ever could. So you see why I am so anxious to get this bottle of Tanlac for I owe all my good condition to it, and I never expect to be without it There is nothing in the world I would take for "wha Tanlac has done for me, and I intend to praise it as long as I live." . Tanlac is sold in Omaha at all Sherman & McConnell Drug Com pany's stores, Harvard Pharmacy and West End Pharmacy. Also For rest and Meany Drug Company in gist in each city and town through South Omaha and the leading drug out the state of Nebraska. Adv.

Frank Moran is the latest gent to have monkey adenoids sitched into his collar band and has rescued Mary Ann from the Old Ladies' Home. tern r-w Long before Hoover caused our fair land to break out into a rash of rations, long before the near-beer was so far and about the time that steam was supposed to be necessary to steam heat, Mary Ann was a nimble seamstress. ' Jim Coffey and Tom Cowler will chirp that Mary Ann knitted some sock. Coffey got a pair of 'em. Cowler was fed up plenty with just one. About the time that Moran met Willard, Dillon and Fulton, Mary Ann ceased knitting the agile sock. The fairest of her sex ran out of wool. Old age surrounded Mary Ann and the spit curl was succeeded by the adjustable' toupee. Crowsfeet appeared on the once bright knuckles, and the scythe of time gave Mary Ann the twice over. She was a tough lady to shave. But with the advent of simian glands Mary Ann has taken a new lease on her old life. She is busting out of the Old Ladies' Home in the full bloom and youth of her second childhood. Frank is all set to knock all the heavyweights sour. He is willing to meet Joe Beckett or any other good loser. He wants to slap Jim Coffey bowlegged for the sake of Auld Lang Cinch. He will bust Tom Cowler, cuclcoo or flatten Al Palzer, iron and press Al Kubiak qr clean and scour Al McCluskey for the sake of the same Auld Lang Cinch. Frank always did well with the guys named Al. Al must be short for almond or some other kind or nut. Anyway, whenever Frank scuffled with an Al person the verdict was Moran ueDer ais. With the Bowlers. SOUTH SIDE LEAGUE. - S. Side Cafeteria.

ROOT FINDS NEW POINTS TO FIGHT PROHIBITION ACT Brings Suit in New Jersey Against Amendment And Volstead Bill. Trenton, N. J., Dec. 25. Another legal attack on prohibition was launched when Elihu Root, its chief counsel of Christian Feigenspan Brewing corporation, filed a bill of complaint in the United States dis trict court asking for an injunction restraining United States District Attorney Bodine and Charles Duffy, collector of internal revenue, from enforcing the prohibition law.- The bill declares that both the Volstead act and the eighteenth amendment are unconstitutional. . The attack on the eighteenth amendment is based on the ground that it deals . with a subject outside any power granted to congress, is a violation of the tenth amendment in regard to "states' rights, and is in fact, not an amendment to the constitution, "but mere legislation." . It is also claimed the amendment is null and void because two-thirds of the members of congress did not by joint resolution or otherwise declare that they deemed it neces sary. Such action by congress," Mr. R'oot argued, is a condition prece dent to any amendment of article 5, of the United States constitution. The Volstead law is brought under fire on the ground that it takes away private property with out compensation and also that it arbitrarily classifies as intoxicants, "liquors which are not, in fact, intox icating.", There i$ one motor vehicle for every .

Brown, millionaire cigar manufacturer of Detroit. Detectives assigned to the case questioned the wife of the victim for several hours. When the body was found a two and one-half carat diamond ring, $20,000 in securities and several hundred dollars in cash, were on the lody, causing the de tectives to believe that the man was killed for motives other than' rob bery. '1'he only clues found are a wrench which lay near Brown's body and a grcasc-staincd coat, evidently be longing to some mechanic.
