BEDFORD' MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD. OREGON, TUESDAY, MAY 2, 1933. f3fE EIGHT "Pussyfoot "Johnson Dry Crusader Is Scheduled for Address Here May 17th poo ot the most Interesting flght- gcm the struggle tor "America sober1 bee ever produced Is "Pussyfoot' polnuon, a world figure because or sjisi undaunted courage. He will visit Wedtord May IT and apeak at the Baptist church. William B. Johnson of MeDonough. ytrrw Tort, Internationally famous. known all over the world by the tuckname 'Pussyfoot" Johnson. Com peratlvely few, However, know how he got his title. When Theodore Roosevelt was presi dent of the United States, one of bas problems was enforcement of fed eral prohibition laws coyerlng Indian reservations. In that time badly In fested by pre-Volstead bootlegger. Booeevelt called William B. Johnson, already known as a fearless sup porter of the prohibition policy, and commissioned him to clean out the liquor Tendon. Accompanied by a mall squad of deputies, Johnson ad vanced on the Indian Territory In Oklahoma. Invariably the first knowledge of his presence in any set tlement was the crash of hla axes against the heads of whiskey barrels in outlaw liquor Joints. : Because of the remarkable success of. Johnson's endeavors to slip Into the lawless communities unnoticed, the Indians called him "Pussyfoot." The nickname stuck and thus he Is known throughout the civilized world. , One of the bis; rum racketeers of the time In that section openly boast ad that no man could raid hla Joint and live. He published the fact that be was looking for "Pussyfoot" and would greet him on eight with a ban of hot lead. News of this reached Tussyfoot" as It was Intended that 6 should. Not long after a stranger walked up to the bar of the boastful fcootleggor. He callod for whiskey, sampled the same, threw It on the floor and demanded "real he-man fire water." ' The bartender filled a glass from si special bottle on the back bar and toen turned to look Into a pair or torty-flves. "Heard you were looking lor Pussyfoot Johnson; well I'm here," said the soft-voiced, smiling stranger behind the guns. In a few momenta another outlaw was retired from the business of selling fire-water to the Indians, and the Incident added to the fame of "Pussyfoot" Johnson as an officer whose raids were never tip ped off In advance. Since bis earlier faoe to 'face con flict with the lawless liquor dealers, rpuMVfoot" Johnson has traveled on very continent and spoken In almost averj country advocating the princi ples of prohibition. In loadon he lost an eye for the dry cause when a hoodlum hit him with a eobble stone while a mob of students were carrying him through the streets of the city. The King of England sent a message of sympathy, and Loudon admirers raised a fund k pay for hla Injury. "Pussyfoot" jhanked the king, sent the money to a local hospital for the blind, cheer ' ,uJly declared hla remaining eye vmld see the world go dry, and In cited the atudents to Join a real hchtthe battle against John Bar leycorn. While making a transcontinental tour under the auspices of the Antl jjquor League of America he comes to Modtord under the auspices of the Vedford Ministers' union, supported by the Rogue River Ministers' asso ciation, the Jackson County W. C. if. U the Jackson County Civic leaf-ue and the Unltod Young Peoples' societies of Southern Oregon. Accompanying him is Thomas W. Oelel? tt Fargo, North Dakota, who made his first temperance speech when only 15 years of age. At IB be waa a detective In the city Of Montreal, helping enforce the law against the liquor dealers In that 4ty. He faced the beat liquor law yers In Canada and lost only four of a hundred cases In which he had gathered evidence against saloon keepers who violated the law forbid ding sale to boys and girls. , So effective was the work of young Oales that throats were made against bis life. At one time he waa assault ad on the street by a gang of hood lums, who resented his dry efforts, and at another time he narrowly escaped assassination when a shot fired by one of hla enemies perfo rated his hat. ' Following hla earlier experience in the warfare against strong drink while a boy In Canada, Oales came to Chicago to atudy for the ministry. He became associate pastor with Dr. Johnston Myers of the Emmanuel Baptist church, and waa placed In charge of the Central Mission on South Clark atreet In that city. Here night after night he saw the effects of the saloon aa he worked to help the hundreds of hopeless drunksrds who spent all they could beg In the bar-rooms. Following his experience In the ministry, Galea Joined the forces of the Antl-8sloon league first In Wis consin, and then aa the state super intendent In North Dakota. In the latter state he has been the leader In the fight to prevent repeal of pro hibition laws, directing state-wide campaigns and opposing the efforts of the wet forces at the state capltol. He la decidedly worth hearing. All who are not afraid Us hear the truth about the liquor question will make special efforts to hear these men. 8TH GRADE EXAMS 12 Eighth grade examinations will he held on May 11 and 13 thla year, It mm announced at the offices of County School Superintendent O.

He knows that this condi tion may cause headaches, loss of appetite and energy, sleeplessness. It is often the starting point of serious disease. You can prevent and relieve com mon constipation so easily. Just eat a delicious cereal once a day. Laboratory testa show that Kel logg's All-Bran provides "bulk" to exercise the intestines, and vita min B to further aid regular habits. All-Bran is also a rich source of blood-building iron. The "bulk" in All-Bran Is much like that found in leafy vegetables. Within the body, it forms a soft mass. Gently, it clears out the In testinal wastes. Isn't this "cereal way" safer and far more pleasant than taking pat ent medicines so often harmful? Two tablespoonfuls of All-Bran daily are usually sufficient. With each meal in serious cases. If not relieved this way, see your doctor. Enjoy All-Bran as a cereal, or use in cooking. Get the red-and-green package at your grocer's. Mado by Kellogg In Battle Creek.
