Nature Will Cure Your Indigestion
If You Supply the Material
and Stop Blocking the
Process.

In cases of weak stomach where the
patient Is pale and the blood thin, the
first step toward restoring the activity
OF the stomach is to improve the condi-
ton OF the blood. A supply OF rich, we'll
oxygenated blood is necessary to the
processes OF digestion and with it, if
errors In diet are avoided, nature will
work cure. This is known as the tonic
treatment for indigestion and is well
illustrated by the experience of Mrs. G.

street, Topeka, Kans., whose husband is
swltchman on the A. T. & S. F. r. r.
She says:
In my case stomach trouble seemed

Later began to be troubled with
rheumatism which settled in my limbs.

RICHARD WILL FIGHT.
Says He Has Reached the Limit of
His Patience.

Reno, New, June 24.-"Hereafter
intend to fight my way through trou-
Die. Promoter Tex Richard was
mighty wrathy when he made that
statement at midnight last night.
He was discussing with a group of
newspaper men, the alteration he had
had earlier in the evening with Pro-
moter Sid Hester and which the Ne
vadan summarily ended by thrusting
Hester aside so forcefully that Sid lost
his hat and glasses.

and a truck to transport the cham

house which is to serve as the negro's

Flanagan has been keeping an eye IN
Jeffries since the big fellows advent to
Reno. He says he is much impressed
with Jeffries' appearance and expects
to see a long drawn out battle between
him and the negro
Out at Mona Springs, Jeffries is TAX
ing life easily. Not even the Sullivan
incident yesterday has aroused per-
ceptible ripple in the cheerful spirits he
has shown since coming to Nevada and
his trainers express themselves as fully
satisfied that no i'll effects have been
suffered by him in coming here.
With both fighters settled in their re-
spective camps, work on the arena un-
der way and with no prospect of any
further interference in preparing for
the battle Reno is settling down to
comparative quiet.
The ''uuiet" is strictly comparative,
however, for not in many years, c1tl-
zens say, has the town sheltered so
COSMOPOLITAN a gathering as now night
" throngs its cafes and gilded temples
of chan re- The click of the roulette
wheel and the droning voice of the faro
dealer resound above the clamor OF
crowded saloons.
That sort of thing is great novelty
for the eastern visitors and most of
them seem bent on missing nothing
that favors of the stories they have
read of life in the great west.
Reno herself is beginning to sit up
and take notice of her gambling hal
activities. The lure of the big battle is
attracting others besides fight fans.
Faces familiar in the old days are rec
ognized in the towns resorts-the
faces of the men who went to Rawh1de,
who trekked to Pioneer.

tions ought to stand shoulder to shoulder
in the tremendous work ahead of the
world he said. Il do not mean neces-
sarily that they should enter into a writ
ten and sealed. alliance, but simply that
they should take what we might call a
gentleman's agreement. This could be
done without violating any of the rules
of international amity as respects other
nations. It would preserve the world s
peace and give an impetus to the growth
of a higher civilization throughout the
world.
My interest both in Canada and in the
United States is strong. Both are wonder
full countries. Canada is developing fast
and offers great opportunities for business
enterprise and for those interested in agri-
culture

No doubt there will be strong op-
position right in the south to the
organization of the General Cotton
Securities Company which has for
its object the establishment of cot
ton warehouses throughout the
south, and at the various manufac-
turing centres Of the country, for
the purpose of better financing the
the cotton crop. The movement is
backed by D. J. Sully, former cot
ton king. John Hayes Hammond.
of Boston, and Scott Delglish. of
the Hirsch Syndicate of London,
and this fact itself will furnish the
demagogue with an abundance Of
material for arousing the prejudices
Of the south against the movement.
Suily and his associates will have
many difficulties to overcome be-
fore their pain is perfected, but
IL they are possessed of enough cou-
rage to push the movement through
the south will some day rise up and
call them blessed. The opposi-
tion will not come from the farmer
because he is the man who will be
benefited, but it will come from the
manufacturer, with here and there
a banker who is largely interested
In mill stocks. 1t is taken for
granted that the movement will
meet with strong opposition from tn
exporter who has fattened and pros
prospered at the expense of the far
iner. The movement was launched
In Atlanta two years ago, but af-
ter Sully had explained his system
the manufacturer, with the assist
2oce of the Wall street crowd, op-
D sed it by alleging that Sully and
associates would get control of
G.a entire cotton crop and make
} every farmer in the south slave
aid hireling. OF course, Sully
and his associates have gone into
the movement for the purpose of
making money, and there is every
reason to believe they will make
millions of dollars by the establish
ment Of a chain Of warehouses but
1t will be impossible for them TO
make money for themselves with
out making money for the farmer al
so.' But what IL Sully and his as
sociates make millions. provided
they can prevent big breaks in the
cotton market and at the same time
raise the price of cotton a cent per
pounnd? If there is not sufficient
:apital in the south to mountain a
g hahn of warehouses the south
should welcome capital from foreign
sources for this purpose. The
bonded warehouse is the solution of
the pr blem and strong evidence of
bis ia is furnished by the manner
JI WIN the worlds supply of dia-
kI,onds is controlled today. whep
tbe rich diamond mines Of South
Africa were discovered the owners
OF the mines did not throw the en-
tire output on the markets of the
world. On the other hand they got
together a tremendous amount of
capital, established diamond depo-
sttorfes In the large diamond mar
kets OF the world and did not let
The .pply exceed the demand.
The result was that instead of a
fdecrcass In the price of diamonds
the ~ % of the precious stones has
stead.iy. advanced, although the
Yisibie supply OF diamonds IL larger
foday han ever before In the his
tory OF the world. II the south In
wise It win extend to sully and his
associates a cordial and generous
welcome. 8
