CAVALIERI SNEERS
 AT STOUT O7ER(

PARIS, June 22. - The latest mor- sel of gossip Frances capital is roll ! ing around under it's tongue is that | Otero, the Spanish dancer, and Lima ! Cavalieri are saying catty things | about each other at every turn. Most of the feline outbursts, i. must be l said, emanate from Otero, who Is
 consumed with jealousy at Caval ieri's operatic success Besides which. say the Spaniards s ! rivals, Otero is getting too stout
 and has been compelled to give up | her dancing, as she did recently in
 Carmen, and Cavalleria Rusticana. The copy of an imaginery conver- ! sation between the two stars has
 been going around the American
 colony here of late and has caused no little amusement. Were the
 rivals ever to meet, this Is the dia- logue that might conceivably fol-
 low:
 Lina-Ah! My poor Otero, how you
 must suffer in this sultry weather
 with your embon point! But console
 yourself. You will persplre away
 a lot of that flesh!
 Otero-My figure is my own, ma dame! That. at least is true. Lima (sweetly)-But remember, my dear, one can have too much of a good thing. Now let me advise Otero Ctaking up the cooing tone) -Jerdona, dearest Lima, but I have | always been sorry for you. It is-- ah, que lastima!-so great a pity
 that, with your wonderful figure you
 have so commonplace a voice! When l think what you might have been
 Lima Gndifferently)-Good or oth-
 erwise. my love, Paris Is satisfied
 with it and que quiere mas, as you
 say in your queer language?
 Otero furious, but calm)-You
 must excuse me. I have an important
 engagement, my dear Lima We shall
 meet again.
 Lima Under less embarrassing l circumstances for you. l hope, my
 poor girl. Adieu! If you need my advice about the secrets of shapeli
 ness I'll be glad to do what l can for you.
 Otero (solus)-G-r-rr-r-r! Que maldita!

NEW YORK. July - Boxing by commission has stood the strain of adverse criticism in New York. and is here 10 stay II means the first step to legalizing the sport It shows what can actually be accomplished when competent commission is placed in charge Of boxing. and the amount of money turned into state treasury from the states percentage of the boxing admissions al the var ious clubs proves that there is ac- tually n demand for the game from the better class of citizens.
 Hut the boxing promoters. for a while at least placed themselves as among the worst enemies of the sport. as far as New York was con Cerned. All over the country the eyes of legislators were being turn ed to this city to watch the eXperi- ment of state taking charge Of sport which has been outlawed in almost every civilized country on the globe And with the full knowledge that such d battery Of hostile eyes were looking al them. the promoters started trouble. and for q time threatened to put the game out Of business.
 The decision" question was the point at stake And even with the deadly precedent of the old Horton law days of boxing staring them in the face. the promoters went on blindly to their doom, until whipped back to their senses by Boxing Com missioner Frank ONeil
 Years ago boxing flourished in New York under the Horton law, which permitted 2oround decision battles Betting was the big fea- iure It is recognized fact among followers of sports that betting has been responsible for the death of boxing. racing. light-harness racing. wrestling and numerous other forms of athletics. Baseball survives be- cause it's promoters have taken a firm stand against betting.
 Betting killed the sport of boxing in the days of the Horton law. Scandals like the Ryan-McCoy, Shar- key-McCoy. Corhett-McCoy and others caused the law 10 be wiped off the books A clique of sure-thing bet ters fixed" every fight possible in advance. They induleed in steals which would make even a Wall street man blush At last an outraged public killed boxing and other states followed suit.
 In those days decisions were in or der When Senator Frawley fram- ed the present bill under which boxing lives ill New York he in serted the clause forbidding decis- ions This clause was founded upon the contention that decisions were wanted only by those who bet, and not by the rank and file of the loV
 
 contention, and it was proved by looking over the attendance at any highclass battle
 But the gamblers. led by a certain New York newspaper, demanded de cisions They wanted a run for their money-or in reality, for other peoples money. So one ill-advised referee decided to defy the law-he rendered decision.
 The die had been cast. and the boxing commission. represented by Commissioner ONeil suspended the referee, revoked the clubs license, and court upheld it's stand.
 This means that boxing has stood the test. It is now a sport for the spectator, and not the gambler. And and as long as this condition pre- vails, the game is safe-and only until then.
 Only two men remain for the trials

Foods That Bind
 Little Children
Start them off right with a good laxative and then
 watch their diet

Mothers are often unconsciously very careless about the diet of their children, forcing all to eat the same foods The fact is that all foods do not agree alike with different persons. Hence avoid what seems to constipate the child. or to give it indigestion. and urge it to take more of what is quickly digested.
 If the child shows tendency to constipation 1t should immediately be given mild laxative to help the bowels. By this is not meant pfysic or purgatiye. for these should never be given to children, nor anything like salts, pills. etc. What the child requires is simply small dose or the gentlest of medicines, such as pr. Caldwelrs Syrup Pepsin, which in the opinion of thousands of watchful mothers is the ideal remedy Tor any child showing tendency to constipa- n constipated child that care is neces- sary. Catching cold. piles. headaches sleeplessness and many other annoy ances that childyen should not have can usually be traced to constipat tion.
 Many of Americas foremost fami- lies are never without Syrup Pepsin, because one can never tell when some member of, the family may need it. and all can it. Thousands en- dorse it, among them the parents of Ernest Cash. Sycamore Ga, and Mrs. Carrie V. Marshall. Kevil, Ky, who buy 1t regularly of their druggist at fifty cents and one dollar a bottle, the latter size being bought by those who already know it's value, and 1t con- tAins approximately more.

GREAT DEMAND FOR
 WILSON SPEECHES
Governor Is Unchanged and Awaits News From Col
 Onel Roosevelt

Princeton. N. J., October 22.-By letter and by telegram, pressure is being brought to bear upon Governor Woodrow Wilson from many parts of the country to resume his speaking campaign. The demand for speeches. the governor sail tonight, has increased in the last few days and his campaign managers are be- ing bombarded with requests. He said he had no change of plan to announce as yet. The nominee read interestedly the news from oyster Bay about the condi- tion of Colonel Roosevelt
 The governor spent the day at the tsate house dealing withthe routine of New Jersey business. He made a brief call at his-own political headquarters and then walked to the railroad station.
 ''The Federal" the private car he used in his campaign trips, was standing there, but the occupant this time was Gov. Hiram Johnson of California. The New Jersey governor had only few minutes to get aboard his train and missed greet ing the Californian.
 The governor had one diversion from his day of routine. It was a photograph reproduction of some of his speeches, humorously jumbed and distorted. One of the youthful stenographers at the gov ernor's political headquarters had die tdteu Tn d ueep NOice SOlnt tNctIplS lIOHl the governors speeches twisted into mock form and the governor laughed heartily while he listened.
 Parodies on the governors manner of expression and vocal punctuation ran through the record
 The nominee wrote tonight the mes sage which will be read by campaign orators throughout the country on Will son day. November ?. It probably will be his last declaration before election day
 Besides acting in the role of tailor and valet for himself, Governor Wilson demonstrated today he could be his own stenographer and secretary. The demo- cratic nominee had dictated number of letters to his stenographer and sent him away to transcribe them. The governor had made only partial inroads into his correspondence, however, so he sat down in the library in his home and dic- tated several letters to the pcdagogue He has known shorthand since boy. After scratching away for while the governor brought forrn an old type Calagraph with oval keys. On this he pounded like a maehinist. Slowly he read his notes, lacked himself up, ad- dressed a lot of envelopes, licked the stamps and walked to the mail box Here he deposited his. work. Governor Wilson then went to the statehouse in Trenton for the regular Tuesdays rounding of matters of state.
