today of the challenger for the America $
cup under actual racing conditions was
distinctly disappointing to those WHO ex-
ulted SO much as the results of the ire

on her handicap allowance, the new craft
only beating her 61a cinutes over course
thirty four miles long. On the first half
of the course the challenger outsailed' the
older boat handsomely, but in the fresEer
wind on the second turn she little more
than held her own. This was only par
TALLY explained by fluke of wind which
favored the Shamrock | and enabled her
to gain considerable ground on the second
heat. The Shamrock l was fouled by a
Steam yacht when half way through the
second run to Lulworth Cove Her spin

you eat and get results.
Many people stagger along if sick but
never think to change their food. A safe
sure way is to adopt the following diet
which is toothsome, palatable, highly nu-
tritious, and will produce remarkable
results in curing every old, chronic case
of stomach and bowel trouble frequently

orally come from stomach trouble) and
about nine cases in ten of so-called heart
disease.
Good comfortable sleep will follow the
use of thi sdiet. Breakfast: Some cook

To cook this food.) Pour a little thick,
rich cream over it. Soft boiled eggs, no
