What We Eat

Is intended to nourish and sustain US,
but 1t must be digested and assin-
Hated before it can do this. In other
words, the nourishment contained in
food must be separated by the diges-
tive organs from the waste materials
and must be carried by the blood to
all parts of the body. We believe the
reason for the great benefit which
so many people derive from Hood 5
Sarsaparilla lies in the fact that this
medicine gives good digestion and
makes pure, rich blood. It restores
the functions of those organs which
convert food into nOurishment that
gives strength to nerves and muscles. It
also cures dyspepsia, scrofula, salt
rheum, boils, sores, pimples and
eruptions, catarrh rheumatism and
all diseases that have their origin IN
impure blood.

yet but I am working along and soon
will have things in full swing
am glad that the fight with CTS
Rubin is not further off than February
is, as think I need a. bout TO liven me
up a little.
The way Rubin polished Off sharkev
shows that he viii put up a good fight,
but he'll not win the championship this
time.
/ look upon the championship honors
as my property and do not intend to lose

I am working 50 hard now. The only
way I can lose is to be out of shape, and
there is no danger Of that. know how
to get in condition and have good men
to help me, and I'll be in shape to finish
Rubin before the limit. The weather up
here has been fine for training, except
today, and I see no reason for leaving
here until time to go to Cincinnati TO
fight. I was thinking of training near
the battle ground, but the last couple of
days work here has satisfied me that
cannot improve on these quarters.
How about training2I have a schedule
prepared which covers the whole "a
hours and I stick to it. There is a time
for everything have to do. follow the
time table" exactly from the moment
[ turn out in the morning.
First of all, there is a little road work
to open the lungs and get me in share
to tackle a good breakfast. I usually
cover about five miles in this cantor
and when I return to quarters I get a
good rub down and a thorough kneading
Of the muscles. Then get at the breaF-
fast.
After eating comes a good, long rest
before the next work begins. Then
spar with Bob Armstrong and my
brother Jack, use the medicine bali
punching bag and wrist machine and &c
through the whole list Of stunts which
the schedule calls for. This winds up
before dinner time and get a rest be r
fore eating-just enough to recover from
the hard exercise.
The afternoons work is about the
same way. only that a good stiff run
comes along then. This is the hardest
work of the day, but it does not bother
me.
