Lewis Hoffman. Topeka Wrestler Who
Has an EnviabIe Record.

Hoffman and Westman will also
wrestle again, some time in the near
future The match is now mentioned
for Feb. IS. The men wrestled to a
draw lr The auditorium during the
holidays, each getting a fall. This
match should draw a great crowd.
Westman has done most of his wrest-
ing in the south and has great repu-
tation there. Hoffman met all COM
ers at the Century theater in Kansas
City for one season and has wreSt1ed
with and thrown many high class
men. It isn't often that two such men
are found in town the size of To-
peka.
Hoffmans match with Bernitz will
likely draw well from the fact that
many Topekans want to see him and
get line in this way on his chances
with Westman. Bernitz's friends an
nounce that they are behind him to
throw the Topekan and there isn't
any reason why a first class match
should not be expected.

Half the people you meet complain o.

nerve stimulants. Bear in mind that this
worn out feeling is due to poor blood

the multiplying of destructive germs in
the blood faster than they can be over

what is known as auto-toxemia, that con.
dition where the venous or impure blood
accumulates faster than it can be re-
placed by the red arterial blood

but from the rational effect of a natural
medicine just as active and just as time
