Revises Original Treaty.

The treaty which Secretary Bryan ad-
vocates is a revision of the original
treaty with Nicaragua whereby the
United States is to have exclusive right
of way for another canal between the
oceans, and for which this country is
to pay $3,O00,0OO. Language similar TO
the Platt amendment relative to Cuba is
proposed to be added to the treaty,
giving the United States power to con-
troll Nicaraguan internal and foreign
relations and finances. 1t would not
mean loss OF Nicaraguan independence.
Rather, IL would be guarantee Of
stable government under the strcng
arm of this country. Under the pro-
posed arrangement. Nicaragua would
not declare war without consent of the
United States; foreign governments
would not be allowed a f6othold in
Nicaragua or to destroy her independ-
ence; public debt would not be incurred
beyond the ordinary resources of the
country; the United States would have
the right to intervene az any time to
protect life and property or Nicaraguan
independence.

KNOWLEDGE
Is a Better Guide Than
Instinct When Buying 3:
BY HOLLAND.

II NOWLEDGE is more
4A widespread today than
ever before. twenty-five
years ago much buying was
done by instinct-done in a
haphazard way that is a
thing of the past like the
spinning wheel and the tai
low candle.
Your grandmother trusted
largely to luck-you depend
on knowledge when it comes
to spending money. What
causes the difference? Ad-
vertising.
Publicity has revolutionized
business. 1t has increased
business honesty, has advanc-
ed business ethics and has
ended slipshod methods.
To gain the advantage of
these changed conditions you
must have knowledge. You
must know values. You can
learn them only by studying
advertising. In no other way
can you learn what is best
and what the best is worth.
CARELESS BUYING
OFTEN MEANS
DISAPPOINTMENT.
Equip yourself with the
knowledge necessary for eco
nomical buying. If you have
money to spend you owe this
to yourself and to those for
whom you buy.

MYSTERIOUS SMITH PUT
WELLER GLASS ON MAP.

A great fistic celebrity, one OF the
"stalwarts" of modern pugil SIN, who
c uld give satisfaction with his ring
efforts at all times to the callous
follower of the prize ring, was "Mys-
ter Gus" Billy Smith. the first worlds
welterweight champion, says B. H.
Benton, his former manager in the
Chicago Record-Herald
This distinguished "Scrapper," who
had distinct personality was priu-
cipal in many desperate battles, and
the announcement that mysterious"
Billy would be principal in a cen
test served as big attraction.
To clearly settle a betting point
will give the origin of the weller
weight class in guilism. A little
over 25 years ago, when genuine
lightweights had to confine their
weight to the class lim't-133 pounds
there We're a few rafting good
fighters who were few pounds
over the lightweight requirement and
at the same time too small to
tackle the legitimate middleweight at
l5S pounds.
Jack Dempsey, the "nonpareil,"
was the exception. He had just
outgrown the lightweight division,
but did not hesitate to match with
any Of the much larger and heavier
men of his profession. Even when
the worlds middleweight champion
Dempsey could have fought at 142
pounds-ves, at 40 pounds in a
pinch.
A PAR of fighters who were just
above the weight of the legitimate
lehtweights were Paddy Duffy. OF
Boston, and Jack McGinty, of New
York. They could make 1873 pounds
but were better at 40 pounds. This
couple had several severe and stub

That was when Detroit and Pitts

had the thing sewed up early. The
last game of 1911 between Athletes

1905, had their fourth victory accom-

series only five games have been
played, and the final game was
not at all crucial, because one team
could have lost it and still have
