Tuesday Harvey was looking as Zine
as silk. +" He hadn't an ouuce of super
fiuous flesh on his bones. his eyes were
bright, his hcGrt action rythmical, and
he smashed the bag against the ceiling
at every punch.
After no had been rubbed down he

broiled whitefish, lettuce and sliced
pineapple, chatting gayly all of the time
I'm feeling first class" he said
Not No meats at all. Fish. Nothing
but fish for my diet Fish is brain food,
lettuce is good for nerve development,
and pineapple is the finest thing in tho
world for hardening the vocal chords. {"
Then tho silver gladiator SPARED bit
with Ralph Easley, who will hold the
watch during Che mill, and lay down TO
rest.
