A GOOD CHANGE
A Change of Food Works Wonders.

TIE wrong food and drink causes a
lot of trouble in this world. To
change the food is the first duty of
every person that is i'll, particularly
from stomach and nervous troubles.
AS an illustration: A lady in Mo. has,
with her husband, been brought around
to health again by leaving off coffee
and some articles of food that did
not agree with them. They began u.s.
ing Postum and Grape-Nuts food. She
says:
For a number of years I suffered
with stomach and bowel trouble
which kept getting worse unutil l was
very i'll most of the time. About four
years ago l left off coffee and began
taking Postum. My stomach and
bowels improved right along, but l was
SO reduced in flesh and so nervous that
the least thing would overcome me.
Then l changed my food and be-
gan using Grape-.[uts in addition to
Postum. l lived on these two prin-
cipally for about four months. Day
by day l gained in flesh and strength
until now the v trouble has en-
tirely disappeared and l feel that l
wv my life and health to Postum and
Grape-Nuts.
Husband is 73 years old and he was
troubled for a long time with occa'
sional cramps, and slept badly. Finally
l prevailed upon him to leave off coffee
and take Postum. He had stood out
for a long time, but after he tried
Postum for a few days he found that
he could sleep and that his cramps
disappeared. He was satisfied and has
never gone back to coffee.
Il have a brother in California who
has been using Postum for several
years; his whole family use it also be
cause they have had such good results
from it,"

TACK THIS UP
Prescription That Breaks Up the Worst
Cold in a Day,

Prescription That Breaks Up the Worst
Cold in a Day.
Every winter this prescription is pub
lished here and thousands have been
benefited by it. Get two ounces OF
Glycerine and half an ounce of Con-
centrated Pine compound. Then get
half a pint of good whiskey and put
the other two ingredients into it. Take
a %teaspoonful to a tablespoonful of this
mixture after each meal and at bed
time. Shake the bottle we'll each time"
But be sure to get only the genuine
Concentrated Pine. Each half ounce
bottle comes in a tin screw-top case.
Any druggist has it on hand or will
quickly get it from the wholesale
house. Many other pine extracts are
impure and aus nausea.

just "a feet square. From edge to

platform was 81 feet, allowing 1S
inches beyond the ropes all around.
This space was left for the conven-
fence of the seconds who had to
spring into the ring between rounds
to fan and wash and encourage their
warning chieftains.
Below the edge of the platform
ran narrow bench upon which were
located the telegraph instruments
which clicked the story of the battle
around the world. Here also were
the telephones with the metallic
headdresses attached through which
the thousands on the outside could
hear the progress of the fight via
the bulletin boards. Back Of this
bench were several others, providing

"TEX" RICHARD A CHARACTER
Interesting Life of the Man Who Is
Promoting the Big Fight.

By far the most interesting per-
sonality in any way concerned with
the Jeffries-Johnson prize fight to
take place at Reno, New, on July 4,
is that of Tex Richard, who is not
only the promoter of the champion
ship event, but it's chosen referee as
WE'LL
Although the nickname "Tex'
would indicate him to be a Texan,
Richard was born in Southern Kan
sas. His given name is George
Lewis, and he is now about 40 years
old. TEX" was just a kid when mis-
parents moved to Texas and settled
on cattle ranch not far from the
border town of Henrietta.
There were no railroads in Texas
in those days, but there was plenty
of excitement Young Rickac1
soon learned the use of shooting
irons and lariat, and could ride
with the best cowboys in the South
west. AS a full Pledged cowboy he
was always able to take care of HIM
self in any company. TEX" was
so square and manly in all his deal
ings, so cool and level headed in his
adventures, that the mayor and
board of aldermen of the town Of
Henrietta decided that he would
make an ideal city marshal. At that
time he was earning the regular
cowboy wage Of $50 per month and
board. The city position paid tue
magnificent salary of SIS per month
and some perquisites.
A good deal was expected of the
city marshal in those days, and
"Tex" accepted the job with misgiy-
| tngs. He said afterward that he was
not quite certain that he was the
right man for the office, but as long
as the mayor and the board of alder
men had confidence In his ability he
felt like he ought to take a chanc.
He looked upon the job as about the
best thing that could ever come his
way.
However, fate had bigger things in
store for TEX" Richard. He had not
been city marshal of Henrietta very
long when he received letter from
a cowboy friend who had gone to
Dawson City on the Yukon river
urging him to pack up and come to
Alaska at once, as the country SIM
ply reeked with gold. Tex lost no
time in getting started, and that was
the last that Henrietta ever saw Of
him.
In about year Richard accumula-
ted bankroll Of considerable size
from his claims on the Yukon river.
The Waxahachie daily light. [volume] (Waxahachie, Tex.) 1894-current, 1910-07-04

He then went to Nome, which hal
developed a most amazing mining
boom, and there opened up a saloon
and gambling house, which brought
him in a fortune.
Richard spent two years at Nome.
He returned to civilization with
enough money to open up an exte4-
sive saloon and gambling house in
Seattle. Faro was the principal game
and with a big limit the bank WIS
loser from the first. In short time
TEX" was completely broke.
1t was just about this time that
the first gold discoveries were made
at Goldfield, New. Richard became
pioneer in that direction. He staked
out number of rich claims and in
short time was in possession OF
another fortune. But TEX" could
not be content with digging money
out of the ground, no matter how
fabulous the vein of gold he was fol-
lowing. Although accustomed TO
manual toll and all sorts of hard
ships his sporting inclinations made
gambling irresistible. 1t was not sur
prising to his friends when he open
ed up another saloon and gambling
house. This was the Great Northern,
which for the first two years is said
n nrnfif nf
month.
Richard also located claims At
Rawhide and opened another saloon
and gambling house there. In 1906
he built the Northern hotel in Ely,
New, the only first class hotel in the
town, which he still conducts at a
profit. At the time Of the panic less
than three years ago, TEX" Richard
was reputed to be worth $1,000. 900.
His fortune was almost completely
wrecked within year by the slump
in mining stocks and the closing
down Of the big mines in Nevada
Richard was in New York at the time
OF the panic, but the loss of his stocks
was nothing compared with great
bereavement that came while he was
staying at the Imperial hotel with
his wife and little daughter.
After the death of his daughter
Richard went back to Ely. His stocks
were almost worthless and his prop
critics were heavily mortgaged. He
did all the assessment work for his
copper claims, sank shaft, ana
worked the mine himself. While thus
engaged he offered one Of his cop
per properties in that neighborhood
for sale for $780, 900. The negotiations
occupied considerable time, AMI
TEX" was fearful lest they would 50
