Blanche L.: To be sure, you are
likely to get fatter during the winter
months unless you take proper steps
to prevent the accumulation of excess
flesh. In fact, you are even now en-
tirely too stout for one of your height.
Get from your drug store four ounces
of parnotis and dissolve it in p pints
of hot water. Then take a tablespoon
full before each meal. This remedy is
harmless and a rapid flesh reducer
that will not make it necessary for you
to half starve yourself to keep from
ting too fat.

MARKET COMMENT OF THE DAY.


Chicago, July 14.-Liverpool came
strong today. final prices being IA to
rs higher. Official and private adj
vices from Russia continue to be Of
a rather alarming character accord
ing to BroomhalI who says tropical
heat is causing much lamage to the
plant. Our market opened steady to a
shade higher and has had strong I'M
dertone all day. There was some
buying for foreign account rejecting
their own strength. Weather was
clear, and hot all over northwest Yes
terday's reported rains were not very
beneficial Judging from action Of mar
kets in the northwest. With the news
at home of such a strong character,
the possibility Of any serious foreign
crop damage we can see but one safe
side to the market, that being to pur-
chase on any reasonable set backs
which may occur from time to time.

In an editorial which appears in the
latest issue of The Outlook Theodore
Roosevelt has the following under the
heading The Recent Prize Fight:
have always been fond OF boxing
and have always believed in it as a
vigorous, manly pastime, one of those
pastimes which have distinct moral
and physical value, because they en-
courage such essential virtues as cour-
age, hardihood endurance, and self
control. Until within a few years, |
used to box good deal myself, and
when was young several times took
part in contests of public or semi
pur,ic nature generally, am bound
to say, with i'll success. II think box
ing is a sport which should be encour-
aged among boys and young men gen.
orally. I have been glad to help 1t SO
far as could in the army and navy,
where, believe, IL has been excellent
thing for the enlisted men. When /
was police commissioner, was much
struck by a statement made to me by
Jacob Riis to the effect that the. es-
tablishment OF boxing clubs in many
of the poorer districts had resulted In
good in rather unexpected ways; that
is, 1t had not tonAy given the. vigorous
young fellows who would otherwise
join gangs legitimate outlet for
their activities, but had also marked
ly reduced the number Of affrays In
which the knife was used. The spirit
produced by the boxing had told
against knife lighting, and distinctly
discouraged unfair play.
Therefore from every standpoint,
believe In the encouragement of box
ing as a sport Moreover. boxing as a
profession has its good side also.
Among the men whose friendship and
regard have really valued l could
name number of professional boxers,
including several ring champions. The
men to whom / refer I found square
decent men, who showed themselves
good citizens when their citizenship
was tested. i approved Of the move
ment, which in this state, at the time
/ was police commissioner, resulted in
the enactment Of law permitting
contests between professional boxers
under conditions which were meant
to safeguard the sport against bru
tality and the other evils which have
everywhere resulted sooner or later in

CURTISS DROPS

Curtiss was flying about forty Eve
miles an hour when he dropped the

the yacht declared that he was within
accurate distance for rifle fire less than
half a minute.
Col. William Allen Jones, retired,
formerly of the United States en-
gineer corps, who is an advocate of
aeroplanes for coast defense, stated af-
ter the trials his belief that the air
machine has proved it's efTiciency.

Could DemoIish Fleet.
Il believe a fleet OF a score of air

While Former President Believes in Boxing He Thinks That
Prize Fighting Should Be Abolished and Gives
Reasons for This Opinion

the suppression Of the prize-ring.
saw several Of these public boxing con-
tests, in which the intent of the law
was carried out in good faith.
Nevertheless, even under this law,
abuses crept in, and finally one or two
fights occurred where the surrounding
circumstances were so scandalous that
when was governor was obliged to
advocate, and finally sec ire, the repeal
of the law under which the contests
took place, feeling convinced, together
with the great majority of the citizens
Of the state, that under it almost all
that made prize lighting Objectionable
and demoralizing had gradually been
revived.
Now this was my experience, the
experience OF man who, so far from
being prejudiced against boxing, was
and is a warm advocate of it, and who,
at the outset, had not the slightest
prejudice against professional boxing
that Is boxing for purses of money
and who has numbered among his
friends many men who were profess
SIGNALS and had fought for money
prizes. l am sure that what has hap
pened in, New York viii happen liz the
nation at large, and that prize fighting
VIM be, as it ought to be, stopped in
every state in the union. Since it was
stopped in New, York the conditions
surrounding the ring have grown
worse and not better. The money
prizes fought for are enormous, and
are potent source of generalization
in themselves, while they are often
SO arranged as either to be a premiGm
on crookedness or else to reward as
nearly as. amply the man who fails
as the man who succeeds. The bet.
ting and gambling upon the result are
thoroughly unhealthy, and the moving
picture part of the proceedings has in-
troduced a new method of money get
ting and of Generalization. In addi-
ton, the last contest provoked a very
unfortunate display of race antagon-
ism I sincerely trust that public sem
timent viii be so aroused, and will
make itself felt so effectively, as to
guarantee that this is the last prize
fight to take place in the United
States; and 1t would be an admirable
thing If some method could be devised
to stop the exhibition of the moving
pictures taken thereof.
