Through Use of New Tonic.
Symptoms of Modern Plague
Are Explained to Public.

ssThere is one question that is put
to us more often than any other, salo
one of the specialists who are at inc
Arnold Drug. company for the puE-
pose of introducing in Topeka, re-
markable new tonic called roma
Vita, land which strangely enough, !
find it most difficult to answer. Ihat

cine.
.sTne only answer I can give to this
question" continued the specialists
lis that most people do not know the
nature of their ailments and therefore
do not follow the proper course. The!
fail to recognize the indisputable fact
that at the very lowest average, %
per cent of the sufferers in Topeka
have nothing more or less than nervous
debility. They or their doctors, may
call it something else, but as soon as
they treat themselves for that trouble
they improve.
Nervous debility says the special
list. ''is that condition of the body or
any of its organs, in which the vita.
functions are discharged with less than
normal vigor, the amount OF power
and activity displayed being reduced.
II simply means that the body is dis
possessed of its characteristic proper
ties, and. combined with a high state
of nervousness. the modern plague
nervous debility is produced. The body
is then in a state of languor and de-
cHre.

depression of spirits, little vitality, cold
feet, poor circulation. weak back, head
ache, poor digestion, stomaoh ana
bowel troubles, depression and des-

These are unmistakable indications
of nervous debility, and there are
thousands here in Topeka, who suffer
with this trouble in it's most distressing
form.

Washington, May 17.-Gatun lake,
the great reservoi-. which is to supply
water to lock ships through the upper
levels of the Panama canal, is now be-

WALSH'S SUCCESS DUE TO AD-
 VICE OF FANATIC.
Bug" Tells Big Ed to Practice Con trol in Winter by Hurling
 Ball at Target.

CHICAGO. July 13-There was a time when Ed Walsh was not a great pitcher. In 1904 his speed was ter rife, but his control was so bad that he had literally no idea where the ball was going He could seldom get catchers to help him practice. and had to fall back on an enthusiastic fan.
 This fan. after handling his cratic shoots, gave Ed some advice. He doesn't know if Walsh took it, but his work indicates that he did some thing
 After the season of 1905, said the bug" T walked to the station with Walsh. I asked him what he intended to do in the winter. He said he was going to do nothing.
 Then I told him he was about the worst pitcher I had ever seen and described to him how Christy Math- ewson. before he gained control, had rented a barn, painted target at enc end, and pitched into the target all winter until he emerged in the spring with the best control in the league.
 "I don't know if Walsh took the hint, but he certainly had the control when he helped pitch the White Sox to the pennant next year"

Fans the Country Over Want Lightweight Puzzle Strengthened Out; Anoth CT Meeting Only Way to Clear Title of Champ.

Ad and Joe must meet again That Is the opinion of every fan, sporting writer and expert the country over. The cloud of doubt and difficulty raised by Referee Jack Welch's de- cision and ineXplicable behavior must be dlsslpated in a new match if the principals hope to stand out in clean cut positions in the eyes of fight fol- lowers.
 Almost everybody who saw the confusion at Vernon has a different story to tell of just what occurred The majority agree that Welch went off his head at critical moment balling things up in most fearful shape with his luckless decision. All are of the opinion that MT. Welch is dCne in the sport line, done browner than the taste he left in the mouths Of the spectators
 Some judges of the fighting game maintain that Joe was fouled at the last moment. Welch declined to see 1t and took his own peculiar method of giving Wolgast the match as per alleged instructions from the powers that were behind the thing. Just as
 
 pion was coming stronger at every minute and would have got Rivers in the next circle.
 The men were equally bad off Says a San Franciscan, the only thing for Welch to have done, in my opinion. was to send them back to be worked up for the fourteenth round Rivers was on the floor, it is true but he was claiming foul with al his remaining strength. Wolgast on his feet thanks the Welch'.; assist ance, was just as weak as tn, i Mexican. and only got away with tn, | fight through the so-called refs. fun | ny business"

If Ad wants to b. | the undisputed top scrapper in all thu | lightweight division, he will readil! | consent to meet Rivers again. Ant l there is no doubt the plucky littl Mex will be there to mix it with At | when the time comes.

WOULD BE \ STRAIN
 ON THE HAGUE COURT
Difficulty in Securing Impartial Judges
 in the Canal Case.
ASSOCIATED PRESS pIsPATcHl


 WASHINGTON, July IS. - Tn" Hague tribunal would be subjected to the most severe strain ever placed upon it in the opinion of officials here, should q settlement of the issue be- tween America and Great Britain re- garding the Use of the Panama canal be referred to it This strain would be felt in the important step of securing an impartial court of arbitration.
 In this particular the case of the United States would stand almost alone against the nations of the world in her assertion of the right to dis criminate in favor of American ship profit by a decision in favor of Great Britain.
 Unless the parties to the arbitration would be satisfied to elect judges from countries absolutely without maritime interests such as Switzerland. it would be practically impossible to secure an impartial tribunal.
