JACK white NO
FOE. FOR RIVERS
MEXICAN JOE HAD COMPARATIVE
~ EASY TIME WITH CHI.
cAeoAN IN WESTERN GO.

Los Angeles, Cal, March 18.-"Mexi-
can" Joe Rivers the Los Angeles light
weight was an easy victor Saturday
over Jack White, of Chicago, in the
Vernon arena, stopping the Chicagoan
in the twelfth round of scheduled
twenty-round bout. Only Ad VOL
CAST now stands between Rivers and
the lightweight championship, and
fight here on July 4.
White never had a chance against
the local boy, who showed marked SUI
periority over the Chicagoan in every
department of the game. Whites
much-vaunted cleverness was nowhere
in evidence, and his blows were en-
tirely lacking in force. In the twelve
rounds, White hardly once reached
Rivers for clean, telling blow, and
all of the time he was receiving ter
rife punishment.
Time after time, White was knocked
down by lefts to the jaw or right
crosses to the same place. Three
times he took the count of nine, and
a half dozen times the bell found him
in such distress that the end seemed
imminent Although unable to make
anything except pretense of fight
ing back, the Chicago boy was game
ness personified, and probably would
have come up willingly in the thir-
teenth round had not Referee Charles
Eyton stopped the fight in the twelfth
with White lying on his back in the
center OF the ring, struggling to rise.
When the fight started Rivers prob
ably was five pounds heavier than
White. He weighed in at 10 o'clock,
scaling 1928, the required weight, while
White weighed 125.

MEAT TRUST SAYS 1T
WOULD WELCOME BOYCOTT

NEW YORK, May THAT the
meat trust" would welcome a move
rnent by housewives to boycott meat
dealers while the present high prices
are in force is the statement made by
the National Provisioner today.
Some people seem to think that
such a movement would be a terrible
blow to the meat trade" says the
Journal, ''and that meat would have
to come down as a result. Blow or
no blow, such a movement will be
hailed with joy by the meat men.
There is nobody on earth more dis
turbed by existing conditions in the
beef market than the men who sell
the beef. The situation is perplexing
and serious. If anybody can carry out
boycott or any kind of a movement
which will readjust conditions of sup
ply and demand so that the beef mar
ket may be put upon healthier basis,
every man in the meat trade will con-
slider them his best friends
But IT is to be feared that neither
the Housewives league nor anybody
else can make corn and grass where
there is not any, or induce farmers to
feed cattle for beef instead of sell
ing the fodder for cash."

WILSON IS STILL AHEAD
IN CONVENTION STRENGTH
Including Delegates Who Fa-
yor Him AS Second Choice
He Leads

WASHINGTON, d. c., May 3.-With
the election today of the IA delegates
from Connecticut to the Baltimore con-
vention. more than one-half Of the 1904
delegates, who will constitute the Dem
ocratic national convention, have been
chosen.
Taking into account those delegates
who favor him as second choice, many
of whom are pledged to vote for him
on the second ballot, Governor Wilson
is easily in the lead among the other
candidates. The North Dakota delegates
openly assert that the New Jersey ex-
ecutive is their second choice, and two
thirds of the Kansas delegation. which
is instructed to vote for him as second
choice, favor his candidacy. Governor
Wilson is the second choice of the Mas
saclfusettes as well as Of the Nebraka
delegation. In fact, most of the Clark
vote is for the governor as second
choice.
Now that all the conventions and pri-
maries scheduled for this week are
over, ii is interesting to note that Gov
ernor Wilson is the only candidate who
has been able to carry any number of
states that are not contiguous to his
own state. Chairman Underwood does
not have the vote of any state removed
from the Alabama boundary, while
Speaker Clark's strength, with the sim
gle exception of Colorado, comes from
states that adjoin his home state of
Missouri.
The following is the full invested
strength of all candidates to date

FROM THE EDIT OR
He Forgot That He Had a Stomach

Talking of food, there is probably no pro-
fessional man subjected to greater more
wearing mental strain than the responsible
editor OF a modern newspaper.
To keep his mental faculties constantly in
good working order the editorsmust keep his
physical powers up to the highest rate On Ell
ficency. Nothing will so quickly. upset the
whole system as badly selected food ana
disordered stomach. 1t therefore follows that
he should have right food which can DO
readily assimilated, and which furnishes true
brain nourtshment
my personal experience in the use OF
Grape-Nuts and Postum" writes Philadel-
phia editor, $50 exactly agrees with your adj
vertised claim as to their merits that any
further exposition in that direction woulu
seem to be superfluous. They have bene-
fitted me so much, however, during the five
years that have used them, that do not
feel justified in Withholding my testimony.
General high living with all that the ex-
preston implies as to generous table
brought about indigestion. in my case, with
restlessness at night, and lassitude in the
morning, accompanied by various pains and
distressing sensations during working hours.
.grhe doctor diagnosed the condition as ca
tarrh of the stomach and prescribed various
medicines, which did me no good l finally
threw physics to the dogs gave up tea ana
coffee and heavy meat dishes. and adopted
Crape-Nuts and Postum as the chief articles
of my diet b
81 can conscientiously say, and wish TO
say 1t with. all the emphasis possible TO the
English language, that they have benefit1d
me as medicines never did, and more than
any other food that ever came on my table.
my experience is that the Grape-Nuts food
has steadied and strengthened both brain and
nerves to a most positive degree How 1t
does it, cannot say, but know that after
breakfasting on Grape-Nuts food one actually
forgets he has a stomach, let alone storl-
ach trouble 1t is In my opinion the most
beneficial as we'll as the most economical
good on the market, and has absolutely no
rival" Name given by Postum Co., Battle
