sons reputation throughout the West
for unerring judgment in the valuation
of land has made him foremost among
! the most conservative, careful class OF
investors in Chicago.
Unlike many hard driven business
men, the owner of alpine Heights, -
that splendid suburb of Chicago, has
not neglected his health on account of
his eXacting business. The following
unrequested statement from Mr.. Wat
son shows how consistent with his life
long, careful, conscientious and success

ton to getting well. He states in the
Herald:
Upon the recommendation of a
friend, used Paine's celery compound
for headaches, constipation, Indigestion
and loss Of sleep, and found it all it was
recommended to be. / suffer no more
from headaches, sleep soundly at night,

Busy men and women are apt to think
there is always time to get well.
The fact that only one person in a
hundred dies of old age shows how
recklessly men and women postpone at
tending to their health and allow it to
goto pieces while they devote themselves
heart and soul to affairs that are trifiing
in comparison. Wives and mothers
have no greater duty than to see that
those dear to them do not become so
absorbed in the work of providing for
the household as to lose their health and
shorten their days.
No more thoughtful step could be
taken during the spring days that are
now here than TO urge such tired and
often irritable home providers to take

The eastern writers are still harpfng
on Referee Siler's ''perversion of the

Always at Dangtry. This is one result of
long, range criticism. The writer who,
two thousand miles away from the
scene Of battle. essays a learned an
alysis of a fight is pretty generally
wrong in fact and always in technique
1t was Maher himself who suggested
while Siler was instructing the princi-
pals, that there be no hitting in the
cl.nches, and, further, that in a break
away, both men ''step back a pace" be-
fore delivering a blow. ''Step back a
pace" were Makers words. Fitzsim-
mons assented, and under these condi-
tons did the men fight. Peter Maher
struck TWO blows IN violation or this
agreement, and both were fouls. Under
any fair Interpretation Of the agree

self to censure every time that he struck
a blow in 2 clinch. The fight writers

10 be a free-fOr-aN contest. Attempts
were made this evening to ascertain the

Late tonight it is claimed that four
hundred and forty delegates are for Nc

proposition is to allow Pettigrew TO be
