FLOOR FINISHES THIS FALL.

There IS no one feature of inter
Tor decoration which is attracting
more attention at the present time
than the matter of modern up-to.
date floor finishing
Manufacturers are devoting to
this subjecta vast amount of thought,
intelligence and skill, aud it is won
derful to note the soft finished ap-
pearance and improved permanent
effects which anyone is able to Sc
cure at a comparatively insigni6-
cant outlay.
Carpets may be said to be almost
things of the past, not only because
it is difficult and expensive to
change them often enough to adjust
them to varying taste and condi-
tions, but for hygienic reasons as
we'll.
A carpet nailed to the floor was
allowed to remain month after
month till the annual house clean
ing, collects and retains dirt and
germs, to give up some at every
sweeping, and no one who has no
ticed the accumulation gathered in
this way, even under the watch of a
most careful housekeeper, could fail
TO wonder where it all comes from
or how it has been lived on so long.
! Compared with this condition the
cool. clean loose rug on a perfectly
finished floor offers the most attrac-
tive advantage in every way.
! 1t can be whisked out frequently
for thorough renoyating and at a
moments notice. The floors can
be cleaned or re-fnished as desired.
The rugs changed in position to
vary the effect or relieve continu-
Gus wear in certain spots, and an
altogether restful air can be OBJ
tanned in this way, which never
could be realized in old time carpet
days.
It is this growing taste along
lines OF unmistakable health, com.
mon sense and economy which has
encouraged manufacturers to pro-
vide so many varied effective and
duraole styles of floor finish, adapt
ed to please any taste. suit any
style or meet the wants on any
kind of floor.
With the coming of the fall months
suggestions for this work will
dou btless occur to many of our
readers in order that after the de-
lightful outdoor summer season the
indoor rooms and surroundings
may be made as bright and attrac-
tive as possible for winter studies
and entertainments
Booklets dealing fully with mod
ern Methods of Floor Finishing are
issued by most of the leading paint
and varnish manufacturers and can
be obtained by local paint dealers.

OF all the diseases known, with
which women are afflicted, kidney dis
ease is the most fatal. In fact, unless
early and correct treatment is applied,
the weary patient seldom survives.
Being fully aware of this, Mrs. Pink
ham, early in her career, gave exhaust
i've study TO the subject, and in pro-
ducing her great remedy for woman's
Ills = Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound-was careful to see that 1t
contained the correct combination of
herbs which was sure to control that
fatal disease, woman's kidney troubles.
Tho Vegetable Compound acts in har-
mony with the laws that govern the
entire female system, and while there
are many SO called remedies for kidney
troubles, Lydia E. Pinkham's VeRe-
table Compound Ia the only one espe-
cially prepared for women, and thou
sands have been cured of serious kidney
arrangements by it. Derangements OF
the feminine organs quickly affect the
kidneys, and when q woman has such
symptoms as pain or weight in the
loins, backache, bearing down pains,
urine too frequent, scanty or high col
ored, producing scalding or burning,
or deposits like brick dust in it; un-
usual thirst, swelling of hands and feet,
swelling under the eyes or sharp pains
in the back running down the inside
OF her groin, she may be sure her kid
neys are affected and should lose no
time in combating the disease with
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound, the woman's remedy for wo-
mans ills.
The following letters show how
narvelously successful it is.

HART IS WINNING
HOT AIR BATTLES
WHIPS EVERY WHITE MAN
WITH HIS TONGUE
EVEN WANTS TO MEET JEFF
The Louisville Man Says the Retired
Champion Has Had His Day
and That Age and Weight
Have Told

Marvin Hart wants to fight Bob Fitz-
simmons, or rather Bob wants to take
another chance at Jeffries' belt, and
Hart says he is ready to meet Fitz.
But, away down deep in the subcon-
seriousness of his ego, Hart don't want
to fight anybody.
"I am ready to fight any white man
in the world. 1 do not think any man
now in the ring can defeat me. When
I am beaten it will be recorded that it
was a fight from first to last and that
the victor was punished within an inch
of his life.
Gus Rubin ought to put up a great
battle when we meet, and 1 expect to
fight him before long. We have met
twice and 1 had it on him in six-round
bout. In the second fight 1t was about
even. Rubin cut an artery over my
left eye and 1 suffered for time from
loss of blood, but toward the last was
myself and knocked Rubin down.
"Bob Fitzsimmons says he can whip
me- Fitz Is on If he can make good. If
we meet there will be no doubt about
the result. Fitz is great pugilist, but
I can outpunch him. I believe I can
whip him in fifteen rounds.
Wants to Fight Jeff
"Jeffries has had his day. Age and
weight has told its story. I trust he
can train down for another fight. am
willing to take him on"
The fighting world stands aghast at
this exhibition of audacity. Marvin
Hart is treading on dangerous ground
when he utters such blasphemy. jeff
ries is not the man to be taunted, and
some day he might take notion to
step into the ring again and Hart would
ascertain what a really good man could
do to him.
When Marvin gets his sledgehammer
a-going and his hot air bellows a-pump-
ing, the "knocks" and conceit come out
in chunks. Here is some more Of it:
mike Schreck Of Cincinnati wants
fight and 1 am willing. Mike is rough
and ready fighter and full of grit. He
feels confident he can defeat me. He
was also confident he could best Fitz-
simmons in the bout planned to take
place in Salt Lake City the day before
my fight with Root. I don't doubt
Schreck would go some for four or five
rounds, but would soon let the steam
out of his valves.
Frank Gotch is anxious for ring
honors and has announced that he IS
willing to meet me. Nothing would
please me better. 1 will make side
bet up to $4,000 that I can defeat him.
The kind Of strength he possesses does
not win fights.
"It looks as If Tom Sharkey, Kid Nc
Coy, George Gardner and Kid Carter
are out of the game. If they think
am an easy proposition they can get
my game. I have beaten Jack O'Brien
and can do it again"
Pass the pipe.

That's the talk.
Fair Shake for All

Understand me, I'm not taking up
sides on the question or saying what
any man ought or ought not to do. I'm
the boy in the lookout taking a peek
over the situation, and I know that's
the way lot Of the sporting element
talk.
If there's anything an American likes,
it's a fair shake for everybody all
around. Mind you, I'm not talking
about crooks, short-card men and tin
horns, but the American people as a
class, or perhaps I'd better say, the
Anglo Saxon people. If chap behaves
himself and is decent in his askings,
and gets turned down by the big finger.
there's a whole lot of sympathy going
around for the down-trodden negro
brother and that's no message from a
dream book, either.
That's why I say drawing the color
line can affect a mans record, because
you see it is not proved that the negro
can't knock his daylights out, and while
there is no saying that he can, still
there's always the chance that he
might.
It's not bit of good for Bob Fitzsim-
mons, We'll say, to stand up and howl
through a megaphone that he's the
champion If he can't prove it. The
only way he can prove it is to steI
down off the pedestal, pull on the
gloves and go out after that climbing
darky and either give or take one good
licking.

Success Counts

Now others are different. When
fighter is working along trying to get
whack at everything that stands be-
tween him and the top notch, you don't
hear much about any color line, and it's
only when he gets to sitting on the top
step and tanning himself with a S100
panama hat that he begins to see any
thing funny looking about a black
hide.
I guess it's just human nature. A fell
low feels he can get fnicky with his
likes and his dislikes when he gets near
the top and perhaps it won't do to
blame him overmuch for that, for he's
worked pretty hard for his job and can
afford to take a chance now and then.
Not that it's right, however, for 1t
isn't. The laws of the United States
say that a black man is as good as
white man. That's as 1t may be, but
the fact remains that If there IS an
extra good negro in line for the perch
on the top bough and the champion
looks at him through a smoked tele-
scope and says he's not meeting colored
parties right then there's a whole lot
of men who'll sneer In a nasty way and
say:
"Of course it's all right, but 1t looks
as if he's little bit leary Of that black
and tan proposition, and maybe he Is.
From the way the chocolate man talks
he's got good stuff in him and So-and-
So ought to give him a chance any
way"

FITZ ADVISES AGAINST
DRAWING COLOR LINE
ARCHES NEGRO HAS PUGILIsTIC RIGHTS
Asserts That Champions Title Is Clear Who Refuses to
Meet All Men Able to Give Battle for HonOrs

BY Bob FItzsImmons
The Worlds Ex-Champion Tells Why 1t
Is Drawn and How 1t Affects
a Record.

The Worlds Ex-Champlon Ielis why II
Is Drawn and How 1t AHectS
a Record.
Copyright, 1905, by Joseph B. Bowles)
I have always wanted to talk little
about the color line in pugilism. ana
this seems about as good time as any.
A lot of tommy rot has been printed IN
one way or another, and 1 hardly think
any Of 1t has hit the, we'll, let us say,
solar plexus of the subject.
To begin with, we've got to admit
there is color line and as long as there
is pugilism in this country there will be
one. Why? Simply because there will
always be negro fighters, for the negro
is peculiarly fitted to be a pugilist In
some ways and just as unfit for 1t In
other ways, but there will always be
few of them with both qualities COM
bined.
You'll hear lot of men tell you that
drawing the color line won't affect
record. That's all foolishness. 1t will
and it must. because for a man to be
champion in any case he must meet
all the men who think they have
chance to get the championship away
from him. and if one or two of those
chaps are negroes there will always
exist a doubt as long as he refuses to
meet them.
I claim the middleweight champion
ship. and the only reason 1 hold it is
because beat the best men at that
weight. No negro has yet come rum
ming up TO tell me he thought he could
wauop my head off and take it away
from NE, but if he did I'm inclined to
think ID have to give him a battle
for Il.
Los Angeles herald., 1905-09-11
Negroes Not Easy

I've met negroes and I've always
found them so and so. 1 don't mean
that they're easy, for they're not; but
I never saw one yet that could get
away with me anyway. and maybe
that's why I'm not refusing any Of
them that have legitimate claim a
chance to get what's coming to them.
Jeffiries drew the color line and 1
think he made mistake. I don't want
to seem to be criticising jeff in any
way, because a man has right to run
his own game to suit himself, but I do
think he made mistake, because it al
ways leaves that opening in mans
record.
A man can't be a champion forever
because there's always some young fell
low coming along who has a look in,
and he has the chance to hand you the
punch that will send you off to the
shadows. It's always been so, and
while a lot of them have stayed long
while they always get things in the
end.
Some Of them try to retire and hand
