When 1t is simple, wholesome
food instead of any one of large num-
Der of so called remedies in the form
of drugs, he is more than ever likely
to feel as though sort Of miracle has
been performed.
A Chicago man, in the delight of re-
stored digestion, puts it in this way:

WomanIiness.

Perhaps it would not be so easy to
lose "womanliness" as some people
seem afraid it would be. Perhaps all
the pow-wow about becoming desexed
is superfuous. Weininger calls atten-
ton to the fact that while there are
people who are anatomically men and
psychically women, there is no such
thing as person who is anatomically
woman and psychically man. How
ever masculine her appearance. q
woman's psychic qualities remain dis
tinctively feminine. At least. Mr..
Weininger says so.

Not So Polite as It Looked.

Crowds were on the street car when
the tall woman struggled up the aisle
and grasped strap. Twelve men
were seated on each side, but not one
arose and offered her his seat. At last
a small boy touched her on the arm.
''You can have my seat, lady" call
ed the youngster.
Thank you." said the tall woman,
seating herself in the vacant space;
that was very polite of you"

GREAT JEWISH FIGHTER.
Dan Mendoza, Hero Of Bare knuckle
days, Says Coffman.

Daniel Mendoza, the greatest He
brew fighter of all time, stood at the
edge of prize ring near London in
1920 and tossed his hat into the ring
(the immortal "T. r." please take mo-
ticc), challenging his old enemy, Tom
owen, to fight him to finish writes
Hal Coffman,
Mendoza was then hfty-sevcn years
old and owen was ifty-onc. The fight
was finally arranged, but the fifty
year-old Mendoza was quite
different from the one that was hang
ing over all who dared stand before
him for a few years previous. owen
finally won in eleven rounds.
In 1888 Mendoza had his first bat
tie with Richard HUMPHREYS. which the
latter won, but they fought twice aft
CT that Mendoza winning both times.
and the records of those days say they
were the most terrific battles ever
fought in the prize ring, fifty thous-
and people Witnessing the first fight
which shows To what pitch excite
meut for prize fighting was in Eng
land at that time.
These two lighters held such bitter
hatred toward each other that they
fought like demons, and in their third
and last fight Mendoza came near
making HUMPHREYS jump out of the
ring, the latter screaming at the time,
"'lhc man is not human"
Mendoza was born in London in
1868, lived To he eighty years old, and
the greatest joy of his life was his
family of eleven children. He finally
lost the championship To John Jack
son. but it was always claimed that
the ncht was not fair, rs Jackson held
Mendoza by his long black hair and
pummclcd him with his free hand until
Dan was dazed and helpless. He was
one of the most popular fighters of
England and wherever he went, even
after his retirement was always
ChCercd to the echo as the fairest and
gamcst fighter of his time.
