Good Liver
Remedy Free

When you suffer from any form OF
indigestion it is always we'll to take
something for the liver, as usually the
trouble lies there. If you are bilious,

Allowance for Decay.

Owing to the fact that the number
OF inspectors was too small to permit
a complete examination of all cargoes,
an agreement was reached some time
ago between importers and the Gus

of only per cent Of the cargo was
made and the percentage of decay
found in this portion alone applied to
the entire cargo was made and the
percentage of decay found in this por-
ton alone applied to the entire cargo.

GRACE GEORGE AS LADY TEAzLE AT The NEW THEAreR.

"A player is off side II the ball has
been last touched by one Of his own

In the matter Of interference there is
a big gap between the Canadian idea
and that Of the American game, as
will be seen by the rule governing the
Canadian game:
mo player shall obstruct OF charge
against an opponent except such oppo-
nent has the ball. or except such player
is running with the ball, or except while
on the line Of scTimmage or trip. scrag
or tackle an opponent above the shoul-
ders OF below the knees.
Another Canadian rule which is con-
trary to all tenets Of the existing
American game reads:
mo player Of the side in possession
Of the ball being ahead of the ball shall
hinder OF obstruct in any way an op-
ponent running at the player carrying
the ball"
To further nullify interference" as II
is fosteTed by the American lawmakers

Effect of Defeat,

II is remarkable what effect a defeat
viii have on some pugilists. When
Terry McGovern lost the title of feath-

some years ago in Hartford, Conn. he
started TO THROW his money away right
and left 1t may not be known, but in
one week Terry lost $4,000. and in
less than six months every dollar he
ever saved was gone. After his de-
feat at the hands Of Jimmy Britt
Young Corbett became a high roller,
and in less than two months he was on
his uppers. The latest one added to the
already long list is Stanley .Ketchel.
the middleweight champion. Ketchel
has thrown his money right and left
since the Johnson fight. and if it were
not for his share Of the moving pictures
Of that battle he might now be strand
