THE MOTHERS PROBLEM
or R.,,lpx stronx, Healthy Girls.

or RatstnG Str0nSs heeithy Sfs'
A serious problem which presents IT.
self to every mother with girls to raise,
IN these days. The exigencics OF schooi
life. the hurry and routine of every -day
duties, the artificial environment OF
modern civilization, make it more
difficult to raise strong, healthy girls
than ever in the. history of the world.
Bows raise themselves. Give them
room, give them liberty, and they will
grow up healthy at least, without much
worrying. But the girls present ser
ious problem.
How many mothers there are who are
Worrying about their daughters. Ner-
vous, puny girls, with poor, capricions
appetites, bloodless, listless, q constant
anxiety to the mother. How shall she
solve her problemf To whom shall che
turn for helpf Each case is more or
less study by itself, and cannot Dc
solved by any general rule.
This is the way one mother solved the
problem. Mrs. Schopfer, $500 Prescott
Ave. st. Louis, Mo-, in q letter to DR..
Hartman, says: "My daughter Alice,
four years Of age. was q puny, sickly,
ailinr child since she was born. Twas
| always doctoring her. When we COM
menced to use Peruna she grew strong
and WELL"
Another mother, Mrs. Martha Moss,
| r. F. D. 5, Chippewa Falls, Wisconsin,
! save. sslur little eiCht-year -old girl
had bad cough, and was in general
| rundown condition" She had several
doctors, who could give the child no re-
| lief, and the mother no encouragement.
Finally, she got bottle of Peruna
and commenced giving it to the child,
and it proved to be just what she
/ needed. When she commenced taking
Peruna the child had to be carried,
Now the mother says she Is playing
around all the time.
/ Her closing words were: "You have
done great deal for her. She is the
only girl we have, and 1t meant lots to
us to have her cured"
These are samples OF many letters
/ which DR.. Hartman is receiving, com
ing straight from the hearts OF loving
mothers. While the different schools
of medicine are pickering and differing
as to theories and remedies, Peruns
i goes right steadily on giving permanent
relief. After all, it is cures that thu
people want. Theories are OF LITTLE
account.

East to Pay High
For Trip to Bout

According to one of the promoters
who are planning to run special trains
from New York to San Francisco for
the accommodation of Jeffries- Johnson
fight fans, the expenses, round trip,
not inc uding the price of a fight
ticket, will be $3.50, at the lowest, for
one person.
This will include railroad fare both
ways, sleeping car berth and rooms
and meals at a first-class hotel in
the earthquake. city.
Drinks and cigars will be extra, and
they'll probably amount to prbdigious
sums. The promoters of these special
trains have. with few exceptions,
named June 20 for leaving town. If
the schedules mapped out are adhered
to the sports who cross the continent
will drop into San Francisco on July
2, two days before the big fight takes
place at the Emeryville race track.
Coming back from the fight the spe-
Gals will stop at various places OF
interest. with July II or Is as the time
for their arrival home. Persons who
wish to enjoy the privacy of state
rooms or the comforts of a club and
observation car will pay as much as
1926 for the round trip.
These are the ones who will pay sou
or 500 for box seats at the ringside
and will entertain their friends royalty
during the outing. In short, visit
to the fight on such scale wi burn
up $500, it is estimated.
Contracts have been signed by these
sporting men and promoters with dlf-
ferent railroads for special trains.

Jeff Punches
Berger Hard

BEN LOMOND, Cal, April 13.-For
the first time since beginning train
ing, James j. Jeffries donned the
gloves yesterday in a fast three-round
bout with Sam Berger. The bout was
scheduled for a longer duration, but
after planting his overworked face in
the way of several Sma shing left hooks
Berger decided that his charge was in
danger of entertaining, and called the
match off.
Il never felt better in my life" said
Jeffries, as he playfully doubled Sam
up with a wallop in the brisket, at
the end of the second round.
You seem to be coming on fine"
replied Sam smiling dolefully as he
came back for more. The last round
lasted but a minute and a half as
Berger recalled an important engage

ing's exercise by a ten-mile run along

going was fast, Jeffries scarcely drew
d long breath. He no longer appears
muscle bound and his blows were de-
lEered with the old smashing drive
that made him champion. His foot
work leaves much to be desired, al
though Jeffries never was especially
fast in side stepping and lodging.
Followers Are Encouraged.
Immediately after the bout the
fighter devoted ten minutes to shadow
boxing, punching the bag for six
rounds and tussled with Farmer Burns
and Bob Armstrong. In drubbing the
punching bag he showed that he is
working up remarkable speed and ac-

who will run a train by way of Balti-

1t is figured that each special train
will afford accommodations for 100
passengers, who will prefer to go to
the fight in this manner than by the
regular trains. One of the train pro-
moters says
Our train viii consist of eight cars,
a combination. baggage and buffet, a
diner, five .sleepers and an observa-
ton car We will not take more than
100. and We intend to be very careful
who will go along. Poker, bridge
whist and pinochle will be permitted,
but all other gamb ing games will be

Eve will carry along 5000 bottles of
beer. plenty of wine and whisky and
10000 cigars. There will be a rule that
nobody can treat but that each man
must pay. for his own drinks. There
will be no tipping the porters and

much before we start. When we reach
San Francisco we will go to a hotel

Have Changed
Meet Plans

WORD mas been received at the high
school that the University of Wash
ington has changed it's former plan of
bringing the track teams of the In
land Empire to big meet in Seattle
near the end of the present season.
The plan now decided on is that
POmeroy, Waitsburg, Dayton and
Walla Walla high schools hold a meet
and the winners of first and second
places in each event will go to Seat
tie to compete in the large field meet
OF the various high schools and acad-
emies of the state. In this way no
one school will be represented but the
individual winners or stars of each
school will be invited, each of whom
will represent the east side in it's
meet with the west side scholastic
schools.
The former plan was for the track
teams all over this eastern section of
the state to hold a meet at Pullman
where the winners of first and second
places were chosen. but now the
northern schools will hold a similar
meet among themselves

VALLEY GROVE NINE

So Far This Season They Have Man
aged to Keep a Clean Slate
Good Scheduled.

Probably there is but one baseball
team in this valley that has not re-
ceived any particular mention owing
to the modesty of its management,
but nevertheless this one is playing
good ball and defeating good teams.
They are the Valley Grove aggregation
of ball tossers, managed by Joe Law
renee and Cyrus Nelson. This team
has defeated Lowden and played a
good game against the Knights of
Columbus, who have some old stars
in their lineup, thus making it a
hard knot for the farmers to tie. Mel
son is pitching great ball for the
Farmers and they are slowly climb
ing up to recognition among local
teams. Next Sunday they meet Low
den again on the home grounds at
Valley Grove. Games have been
scheduled with Prescott, Waitsburg,
Touchet, La Sale and several other
of the amateur teams of the valley,
and the farmers bid fair to play all
a hard game.
