PRIZE FIGHTING.

The tragic death of Champion Luth>

develops was not from blow over
the heart by his fistic opponent, Ar

time when the anti-prize fight senti-

game will be revived as heretofore.
Unfortunate incidents of this kind
have been recorded in previous years
and that same sentiment has existed
that will now be prominent for

indigestion,
Causes MANY Ills

The hurry and hustle Of modern life in
cities and villages and in the busy seasons
on farms leads many people to indigestion.
Impaired digestion lies at the bottom of
most human ills, because lack of proper
nourishment reduces the natural disease
resisting powers of the body.
Poor digestion effects all relations in life.
including earning power. Impoverished
blood follows if food is not thoroughly
digcsted and poor blood results in physical
weakness and reduced nervous energy.
There is no reserve store of energy and
strength which is required to push ahead
and accomplish the things desired. Sue
cess depends upon good health.
Duffy s Pure Malt Whiskey when taken
at mealtime stimulates the secretion
of saliva for the digestion of starches and
the secretion of gastric juice for the diges-
ton of other foods, thereby improving the
digestion and assimilation Of the food and
giving to the system its full proportion Of
nourishment. This action upon the diges
tive process is of great Importance as it
brings to all the tissues and organs of the
body the nutriment necessary to their
sustenance and indirectly to the whole
system strength and vigor.

The horses first ran from Second

street, where they were stopped, and
then upo r"t ir,. tune. around, they
bolted again and dashed away, the
buggy barely missing Willis Adams
who was on the ground attempting to
quiet the animals. The horses ran
north on Main street, turning east on
Barraque street, and one Of them
slipped and fell in front of police
