A we'll informed bicyclist says that the
amateur bicycle racing, as conducted in

card for any fair or anything else for the
reason that the riders don t get down and

where the riders are out for the stuff, -
says he 'sthey have great sport. But with
amateur racing in Maine it is different.
When riders with record of $50 go into
a race and pull in worse than $50 there S
no great fun in it. There will have to
be some radical changes in the rules gov

freed from all impurities, and tho heart
can't do this.
Such work falls on tho kidneys; hence
tho kidneys aro called the filters, They
