Gentlemen" For some time I have
suffered from torpid liver. 1 became so
tired and weak that felt hardly able to
walk about and drag one foot after the
other. My head bothered me terribly
with dull aching and frequently would
result in spells Of dizziness. My whole
body would get so tired that was a
misery to myself.
"I took two bottles of DR.. Thacher's
Liver and Blood Syrup and now feel like
new man, fresh and o. K. for business.
My wife and think there is no medicine
like it." Yours truly,
VIM. P. HUNT.

BLOOD AND CAPETOWN
JOE IN TRAINING
COlOred WeIterweights Getting
Ready for Great Battle.

Ready for Great Battle.
Capetown Joe and Blood, no will
contest for the championship title of
the South, before the Savannah Ath-
letic Club on the night Of April ID,
have gone into training and both are
working hard for the struggle.
Capetown Joe disputes Blood's claim
for the title of colored champion of the
South, and is as anxious as the local
boxer to have the matter finally set
tied. No terms have yet been arranged
for the division of the receipts, but
Blood says ne will hold out for winner
to take all, so confident is he that he
will be able to defend his claims to
the championship.
The last go between the two resulted
in a victory for Capetown, although
there was a claim of foul below the
belt. In that contest Blood had all the
better of the go, and practically had
his man out several times. A great
deal of interest is being manifested in
the bout and there is little doubt that
it will prove the best drawing card of
the year.

A Toothsome
Flavor. :"

True for you, there's a treat in the
crisp, nutty, delicate, sweet taste of
G;rape-Nuts served with thick. rich
cream.
Don't spoil the food by trying to
cook ii. That work is done and per-
fectly done at the factories.)
IKE cream should soften it a bit, but
not enough to excuse the eater from at
least a few good earnest "ehews" for
old Dame Nature sends rich blessings
to the long chewer. Of course the one
with weak teeth can soften the food
with milk down to mush if necessary
but the good old Dame doesn't smile
quite so cheerfully on them.
You Fnow children and adults must
use the teeth and grind freely to make
them grow strong and to preserve them.
Then the act of chewing brings down
the much needed saliva from the gums
and that helps amazingly in the diges-
ton of foods of various kinds.
The saliva is not SO much re-.uired
with Grape Nuts, for this food is pre-
digested. that is. the starch turned into
form of SUGAR in the process of max
ing, al.l that helps give it the fascinat-
ing flavor
Grape Nuts l,seple are healthy and
eaioy good things. There's reason"

Standing of the Clubs.

The Grays helped their average by
just lone point in breaking even with
Ft. Dodge in the double-header per-
Torrance in that city Friday. The To-
calls are still within striking distance OF
second place, due to Boone having also
split it's series with the Microbes yes
terday. Today and tomorrow the big
battles of the year will come off with
in the stockade of the Grays. The
outcome can only be guessed at, but
the Grays should, with good luck, at
least break even.

played on a heavy field, the first GO

last was taken by the locals Z to B..
For Warmers men Hurst offciated in
the opener, and Swain was in action
during the last. Barring the first two
innings of the initial session, FIT. Dodge
never had chance to score. In those
two rounds they copied off most OF
their hits, and after then they never
became dangerous. The locals bunch

inning, and took six runs, which We're

The club is composed of a lot of gentle

represented. Beginning at the top row,
and reading from left to right, the per-

ufacturing concern. Patents on the new
game are pending, and it is expected
to have the first consignment completed
and ready for the holiday trade. Mr..
Ford is in Chicago now experimenting
the work of manufacture.
The game Of "Biff," is a pastime for
parlor use. 1t is nothing more or less
than an indoor shooting match, with a
toy pistol as the weapon. A neat little
pistol is furnished, shooting a common
connie marble, ten of which go with
each weapon. Targets and bulls eye
are furnished, which are placed on the
wall at ten feet distance. The trick is
to become so proficient in the use Of
the weapon as to make high scores by
ringing the bell, which responds to a
center shot. The force of the weapon
is not sufficient, however, to cause
injury That one can become very ac-
curate in Workmanship is shown by a
recent score made by Mr.. Ford, who hit
the bulls eye forty-three time out Of
fifty shots.
Those who have taken hand at
"Biff," pronounce it one of the most
fascinating games ever played, and all
have predicted that the game Will prove
popular when once introduced and on
the market. The Chicago concern that
is doing the first work of manufacture
says there is no doubt but the game
will sell rapidly as soon as it has been
introduced. If the demand is what the
promoters think it will be, toy fac
tory will be in operation in MARSHALL
town this winter.
