Chamberlain’s Tablets.
When yon are troubled, with indi-
j gestion or constipation, take Cham-
! berlain’s Tablets. They strengthen
i the stomach and enable it to perforin
its functions naturally. Indigestion
is usually accompanied by constipa-
tion and is aggravated by it. Cham-
berlain’s Tablets cause a gentle move-
ment of the bowels, relieving the con-
stipated condition. ( \

Caught In The Act.
A few days ago four regroes
of.Brenham, possessed of a little
surplus cash and feeling the
of a little of the “o be joyful” to
stimulate their spirits during the
Christmas holidays packed their
surplus capital and “lit out” for
La Fayette, La., where they in-
vested their cash in red liquor
and started on their return home
with the “stuff” in open violation
of law. All seems to have gone
well until they reached Beau-
mont on their return trip. Here
they grew a little suspicious of
surrounding conditions and de-
cided to quit the train and secure
auto transportation for the bal-
ance of the trip. 'After some
little delay an auto was secured,
the precious baggage loaded
therein and the merry holiday
excursionists * resumed their
journey, no trouble being en-
countered until they reached
Crosby, Harris county, where
the auto ran into a bog hole,
ditching the car. At about this
time Deputy Sheriff Tompkins,
of Lynchburg, putin an appear-
ance and bagged the party, car
rying them and their seven suit
cases tilled with bottled whi.-key
to Houston and arraigned them
before United States Commis-
sioner Winston McMahon on a
charge of bringing liquor into
dry territory, where they were
required to give bonds in the
sum of $200 each for their ap-
pearance before the federal
grand jury, while the contents Of
the suit cases were taken charge
of by court officials awaiting fur-
ther investigation, thereby de-
priving these adventurous in-
dividuals of their accustomed al-
lowance of Christmas booze.—
Brenham Messenger.
