"My friends all call me 'the Tan

praising the medicine for what it
has done for rne," said O. ,B. C.
Heath, Room 9, Fair building,
Minor, N. D.
"For three years my stomach was
so badly out of order that it was
hard for nb to. retain my food.
Frequently I had lieartburn and
there was a pressure of gas on my
chest that almost cut off my breath.
My appetite was very poor and I
also had a bad cough 'that became
so violent I could hardly keep my
balance. My head ached so bad, it
felt like it would burst and at tinges
I became so dizzy I had to sit down
or hold to something to keep from
falling. I was extremely nervous
and restless and scarcely ever got
any sound sleep. I finally became
'so weak and rundown I was no
able to do my work. I had spent
hundreds of dollars trying to get re
lief and was very despondent over
my condition.
"Well, it's, no wonder I'm all the

OVER"
As a Frenchman, who fought for
five years, I want to protestagainst
this championing of this imposter,
Gink Le Fowled. Monsieuri Gink
was well known to me, he being the
only mounted K. P. in the service.
He was in the Cavalry K. P. and gal
loped fearlessly into mess kitchens
and captured many a dish of slum
gullion single handed. But there
was a time when the pie of victory
turned sour on his knife. And th.U
was when he met Miquel Don Aid
son, the Apache La savatte champion.
Don Aldson kicked Gink under the
chin and your over-rated champion
turned eight back flips and was the
first man in the world to be counted
out in the air.
Yours until they cease thinking up
amendments.
GEORGES Le BLANC.
WE remember having heard of
Miquel Don Aldson,. but Le
Blanc is wrong about Gink
being counted out in the air. That
would mean 10 scconcls in the sky,
and Gink never stayed in. one place
that long. ' True, he met Miquel, but
Le" Blanc's account is garbled. The
meeting occurred in a Parisian cafe
where Gink was holding down the
office of Official Streeter.
His duties were simple. A client
would get rough and try to plaster
the bulldoze on the proprietor. In
elegant French, the .prop would
chirp, "Gink, street this bum."
The Streeter would escort the
hokcy out by the hair and drop him
carefully out of the cafe steeple.
The streets of Paris are built of the
softest velvety granite than can be
procuredi The guy who is strceted
is usually considered fortunate if he
bounces in the right direction. On
this occasion, Miquel got a bad
break and bounced back into the
cafe with both his shoes working in
spasmodic LaSavatte fashion.
Mique Lands Six Kicks.
Parrying a left groundgripper
with his chin, Gink stepped inside,
of Mique's shoelaces and whipped
over a right that missed his man but
rung up a $10 sale on the cash regis
ter. It was a powerful blow and had
it landed, there would have been no
telling when the fight might have

started. Miquel then tried to feint,
distracting Gink's attention with six
kicks in the dyspepsia district while
he vainly t.if.d to land the finishing
blow with his right dancing pump.
The boot struck Gink a glancing
blow in the pit of the stomach and
Gink rolled over like a hoop.
. He then took a couple of stampers
on the skull, but managed to check
his hat before it was soiled and
swamped Don Aldson with a left that
only missed him by inches, or
even yards. At the most, it wasn't
more than a furlong. Mique turned
pale without much effort and
tumbled into 'a male swoon. Gink
managed to get one . band out of
Mique's pockets long enough to re
sume the fighting and both boys fell
into three or four neutral corners
at the gong.
Here is the blow that ended the
fight. Mique had forgotten to take
off his souvenir watch and chain.
Naturally, this was meat in the lion's
cage. Gink worked on the' chain
until he had it grog"gy, and then
slipped, over the double dip that left
Mique without a pawn- ticket. ' .
Gink pulled a fake yawn after be
ing kicktd behind the ear with $14
worth of hobnailed boots. Seeing
this opening, Don Aldson tried to
stuff a Drand new heel into it.. Gink
parried with - a water carafe and
stuffed Mique through a plate glass
mirror. .All 'La Savatte champions
are superstitious. Mique refused to
fight after he pried himself loose
from the glistening debris. He
thought tt was bad fortune to be
thrown through a mirror.
Naturally, Gink was awarded the
fight, the bill for the mirror and the
entire gate receipts consisting of
money in infinitesimal quantities.
Gink continued the streeting process
and when Mique regained his com
posure, he discovered that he had
11 new candles1 on his birthday cake.
Surely, a battle of Cardiff giants.

Francis Township Bars
Devotees of Rod and
Gun From Confines
O'Neill, Neb., March 7. (Special)
Because hunters and fishermen
leave gates open, cut fences and
otherwise make themselves obnox-,
ious, Francis township, Holt county,
one of the best hunting and fishing
sections of the state, will bar de
votees of the rod and gun from its
confines. The Francis township
board at a meeting last week passed
an order prohibiting hunting or
fishing in the township, stating in the
order that it was necessitated by the
action of those cutting fences and
leaving gates open, causing large
herds of cattle to get out, stray and
do much damage to crops and hay
meadows. Some of the best fishing
lakes of Holt county are in Francis
township, abounding in bass and
pickerel.

Named in Base Ball Scandal
Benny Kauff, RubeJJenton and Fred Toney, of the New York Giants,
have befcn named ill an adaffivitiled in New York by "Heinie" Zimmer
man, former third baseman of the Giants. Zimmerman had refused, obsti
nately, to discuss his dismissal from base ball two years ago, and his sworn
statement has created quite a stir. In his statement he declares that dur
ing the last western trip of the Giants in 1919 he carried a bribe message
to the three players named. They, according to his statement, were to
receive $100 each if the .Giants lost a certain game. Zimmerman admits in
his statement his own guilt in that he carried the message, but declares
that he was made the "goat" to save others on the New York team.

Leo Dicgel Sets
New Golf Record
Two Consecutive Hounds of
67 and 63 for Total of 130 at
Pasadena Causes Comment.
New York, March 7. (Special.)
What is probably a world's record
for 36 holes of gblf(was hung up by
Leo Diegel, the youthful home-bred,
in all exhibition match at the Pasa
dena (California) Golf club, recently.
Diegel has broken several course
records since he arrived at the
coast a few weeks ago. but his two
consecutive rounds of 67 and 63 for
a total of 130 has never been equaled
in that vicinity. 1'hc course is 6,351
in length and par is 70.
That great second round of 33-30-63
included no less than eight holes
under par figures. Diegel is using
a gooseneck putter nowadays and
getting better results than with the.
center shafted affair he has played
with for several years past.
A few days later, playing over the
Wilshire coure, one of the harden
on the coast, and with a previous
record of 74, Diegel broke all former
marks by five strokes, finishing with
a 69, which included three puts on
the last green after approaching to
within a dozen feet of the cup.
It was Diegel who finished in a
1 tie for, second place in the national
open at Inverness last year, and
he also won the professional amateur
best ball tournament at Pinehurst in
November, along with Thomas
Armour. Diegel expects to play in
the North and South open at Pine
hurst April 1 and 2, and will return
to cantornia Detore taKing up im
