If You Eat You Need Digestit
The New Relief For Indigestion.
1t has been stated that more
than eighty million people in the
United States are victims of some
form of indigestion, The Ameri
can people do not take time
enovgh to eat. The result is stom
ach distress, gas, belching, indi
gestion and dyspepsia.
Digestit is the new relief—it
has been found a certain, quick
and permanent remedy. Thous
ands of people have found relief
from its use. Their own state.
ments on file in our office are
O’'Gorman, of New York, as tempo
rary chairman of the convention,
with Unry Wilson, as secretary pro
tem and John W. Martin, of Mis
souri, as temporary sergeant-at-arms
of the convention.
New York Sure
For Oscar Underwood
~ The New York Herald, which is
independent and reliable, and which
is keeping an important record of
all delegates to the national demo
cratic convention as they are elected
by the different states, gave the sit
uatioz at the beginning of the week
as follows: Clark, 140; Wilson, 118;
Underwood, 101; Marshall, 30; Har
mon, 4. :
The Herald counts the New York
delegates and those of Alabama for
Underwood. It must have good
reason for placing New York in the
Underwood column. 1
These figures do Rot present the
claims of the candidates and their
managers, for Clark claims 180 and{
Wilson claims quite a‘number more
than 118, but the Herald’s figures
are gathered independently and
given as the real, non-partisan situ
ation, ‘
The situation points strongly to
ward Underwood as the nominee of
the Baltimore convention, There.
will be 1,094 delegates in the con
vention. The two-thirds rule will
make it negessary for the nominee
to receive 729.
with the fight which Wilson or
his managers have made on the
other candidates, it is highly im
probable, it is believed, that any of
this strength will ever go to hime——
in fact. it is ppractically impossible‘
for such a ting to happen. Therefore,
there are already 275 votes against
Wilson. If Clark, Underwood and.
Harmon combined get only 90 dele
gates more out of the 701 yet to be.
elected, Witson is out of it for good.‘
It is considered certain that Clark,
Underwood and Harmon will get
that many—and seeres more, judg
ing by the states which have thus
far acted.
‘Amusing Trick of Messengers.
The stamp trick is a very common
one with messengers because of the
amount of amusement derived from it.
It consists in sticking a new stamp on
a step or some prominent place, and
watching the various ‘attempts of
passers-by to pick it up, which, of
course, ~are unsuccessful.—London

Marines.
Marines—soldiers serving on ship
board—date back to the year 1664,
when an order in council, dated Oc
tober 16, authorized 1,200 English
soldiers to be raised and fermed into
a regiment. More regiments were
later formed, and by 1769 the marines
numbered 18,000 men. In the latter
years of the French wars they num
bered 32,000. The marines are today
a feature of every navy, and in most
countries. officers of the marines are
equal in rank with those in the army
and navy.

|Militia Men
- For Underwood
Practically Sure He
Will Receive Solid
Vote of Guards
men,
According to leading officers of
the national guard throughout the
state, not only members of the
militia but their friends as well
are going to the polls and vote for
Oscar Underwood on Wednesday.
A Constitution reporter yester
day interviewed a number of of
ficers of the local regiments, and
in about fifteen or sixteen men
who were interviewed, there was
only one man who said that he
was not for Mr. Underwood.
" “T have not taken much interest
in the campaign,” said this 'man,f
‘“and I have been favoricg Mr.
Wiison. I admit that I do not
keep up with national affairs veryl
| much, and it was not until just lastl
‘week . that it was brought to my
attention that Congressman Un-f
derwood had been so friendly to|
‘the national guardsmen of tbe'
country. ]
““It so happened that a number |
of weeks ago one of my friends’
called me by telephone and asked
me to join the Woodrow Wilson
club. I didn’t care much about it
either way, so I told him to put|
me down, That explains my mem-’
bership to that organization. |
““To tell the truth I do not know]
who I will vote for, and I am not|
sure that I will yote at all, Since|
[ joined the Wilson clnb I do notl
feel that I can copsistcntly vote
for Underwood. My friends in
the militia are urging me not to
vote for Wilson and I may com
promise the matter by making s
business trip to another part of
the state that day, and not vote
at all.”
Other officers of the militia are
working hard for Mr. Underwood,
however, and it is expected that
they will get out the full vote,
not only in Atlanta, but through
the entite state,
Colonel Walter E. Harris, of
Macon, a prominent officer of the
state militia and chairman of the
general committee arranging for
the confederate reunion at Macon,
1s one of the most enthusiastic
Underwood supporters in the state,
Practically ail of the Macon mili
tiamen are solid for Underwood
because of his great interest in‘the
militia, and it is practically sure
that the Alabama man will get a
great vote from guardsmen all
over Georgia, —Constitution.
Newspaper Has Record for Size.
The largest newspaper in the world
was the Illuminated Quadruple Con
stellation, which appeared in New
York on Independence day, 1858. Its
dimensions equaled that of a billiard
table—eight feet long by six feet
wide; and, strange to say for an Amer
ican publication, it had no advertise- I
ments. A copy of this mammoth new
world production can be seen at the
Newspaper Museum of Aix-la-Chapelle, l
France. Its price was fifty cents.
