In Management OF Il. X.
Speaking of food. a railroad man
says:
My work puts me out in all kinds
of weather. subject to irregular hours
for meals and compelled to eat all
kinds of food.
For years was constantly trou-
bled with indigestion, caused by eat
ing heavy. fatty. starchy, greasy, poor
ly cooked food, such as are the most
accessible to men In my business. Gen
orally each meal or lunch was fol-
lowed by distressing pains and burn
ing sensations in my stomach, which
destroyed my sleep and almost un-
fitted me for work. My brain was SO
muddy and foggy that 1t was hard for
me to discharge my duties properly.
This lasted till about q year ago,
when my attention was called to
Grape-Nuts food by newspaper ad.
and concluded to try 1t. Since then
l have used Grape-Nuts at nearly ev-
cry meal. and sometimes between
meals. We railroad men have little
chance to prepare our food In our ca
booses and I find Grape-Nuts mighty
handy, for 1t is ready cooked.
ITO make long story short, Grape
Nuts has made a new man OF me. I
have no more burning distress in my
stomach, nor any other symptom of
Indigestion. I can digest anything SO
long as l eat Grape-Nuts, and my
brain works as clearly and accurately
as an engineers watch. and my old
nervous troubles have disappeared en-

In New York City.


NEW YORK. January lI.-Tom Sharkey
now controls four boxln~ clubs In this
city. and II Is said lie Is negotiating for
the purchase OF several others Sharkey's
latest purchase was the Hudson A. c..
who have been holding bouts in the Lion
Palace, One Hundred and Tenth Street
and Broadway. Sharkey and his asso-
ciates took charge of the club last week
and changed the name to the Metropolitan
a. c. The first show was given on Satur-
day night to n crowded house. All the old
members of the Hudson A. C. were ousted.
Sharkey first started the Sharkey a. C.
in Sixty-fisth Street, naming the club
after himself. The club prospered from
the start. Then. it is said. he purchased
the Long Acre A. c., on West Twenty
ninth Street. also another club on tie
West Side, and lastly the Hudson A. 4.
There are several bona fide clubs In New
York with all gymnasium appliances,
where members can go to exercise, but
Sharkey's clubs do not even possess pair
of dumb-bells. Sharkey was also the first
promoter to match colofed boxers with
white men. which most of the club. match
makers almost unanimously agreed to cut
out of their programme.

ITHACA. n Y. January 17.-Broad-
shouldered Cornell students may hasten
the completion of the university's new
athletic field by taking pick and shovel
in hand and leveling the present hil-
locks.
II Is estimated that IL the students
commenced the task early In the spring,
each man working an hour for three or
four days week. that the field easily
could be finished by June.
The funds of the Athletic. Committee
have become almost exhausted, and the
Italians who Were working on the field
have been discharged. The suggestion
OF the undergraduates coming to tie
committees aid is now being discussed.
The trustees OF the university gave the
committee flfty-five acres OF land on the
eastern border of the campus. This was
very hilly tract OF ground. The COM
mittec started year and more ago TO
level It.
1t proved n bigger task than they ea-
pected. and the work is not yet half
completed. The members say that they
will not be able to complete the work
for four or five years, or until they col
icct more money.
