THE STARVATION CURE

Followers of the recent crusade
against over-eating, and those who
believe in the theory that starvation
is the cure for all ills, have one of
the greatest figures in the whole
range of history for an advertise
ment, in the person of Charlemagne,
king of Germany
Writers of his day tell us that
Charles the Great, as he was called,
was seven feet tall; that his arm
was as irresistible as his genius; that
no man could match him with weap-
ons or in swimming. His bearing was
majestic, and, like his father, Charles
was a man of iron, the chief of his
nation, not simply in rank, but also
in intellectual ability and bodily
strength. He was Y when he died
in the year 814, yet he continued
hunting in the woods to within a
week of his death.
A fever seized him and though he
resorted to the starvation treatment,
which had pulled him through all his
previous illnesses, this time it failed
him. He abstained from food for
seven days, but the fever became
more violent and soon the end came.

phone problem in nearly all large
cities are:
Ffrst-Th the manual method of
producing the service is too expen-
sive.
Second That the economic basis
of rates is wrong and faVors the large
user at the expense of the small user.
These faults result in restricted
development compared with what
could be and declining volume of
service per telephone while the cost
per 100 calls to produce the service
increases.
Automatic-m service with a
low base-rate sufficient to cover in
terest, depreciation and mainten-
ance would cure the above faults, and
by making every user pay his just
portion of the cost would make for
cheaper service from year to year
and would put a telephone within the
reach of every one.

AS for his gameness, ! haven't seen

hes game man. He is deliberate

handiest ones he can get Anyway,
no man sticks long at fighting unless
he is game. CUTTERS give it up.
Knows Little About Boxing.
Il say now that Smith doesn't
know much about boxing. He can
finish man if he gets him going
with a wild punch, but he doesn't
know how to settle down and make
the other man give him an opening
for knockout punch. A first class
fighter musts know how to use an
opening so that one punch is enough.
That's knack the fighter today
don't know anything about. They
slug and maui, or they dance and
tap. There are just three men IN
America in the worldtoday who
know the forgotten style of fighting
and can teach it. One is George
Dawson, instructor Of the Chicago A.

'GUNBOAT' SMITH
LOOKS GOOD TO
FITZ
THE Ex-cHAMPIoN SAYS HE is
THE BEST OF THE CHAM
PloNsHlP CORPS.

New York, June 13.-Bob Fitzsim-
mons. ex-champion heavyweight
fighter, says Gunboat Smith looks
like the best of the heavyweights
just now, He's built for fighting
and he has the one thing a man must
have to get championship and hold
it. That's the punch. It's possible
for a boxer to win a Championship
without having a punch, but it isn't
probable to hold it.
I've seen Gunboat fight twice"
says Fitz. "The first time was
against fellow named Stewart
They told me Stewart was clever. He
didn't get a chance to show it. Smith
did fairly good job on him and
stopped him with a crack on the
back of the neck at the base Of the
skull. Still I'VE seen lots Of sailors
who could have fought about as we'll.
He didn't use much science. He let
lot of wild swings go and there
was as much luck about it as any
thing else.
Saw Him Knock out Wells.
Next time I saw Gunboat was
when he knocked out Wells. From
the way he handled himself in that
one / thought he had improved 100
per cent He took a jab in the first
round until he had good idea Of
what Wells could deliver, and then
in the second he went in with a rush.
What liked about his action was
that he seemed to think little. He
bluffed Wells with wild right and
nailed him in the pit of the stomach
before he could recover. That's one
/ of my old ones. At Carson / grazed
Corbett's ear with right and knock
ed my thumb out Of Joint, turning II
back against my wrist Then
bluffed him and kept him dodging
the right until / opened him up for
the solar plexus punch with the left
Could Learn Much in Short Time.
Smith has improved so much that
i believe even three weeks or 50 oi
good instruction would make boxe'
of him, and then he'd be a danger
GUS man. I believe I could teach hin
enough in three weeks SO that he
could knock out the biggest of them
He weighs 1873 pounds and that's
enough to fight anybody. At Carson
weighed 154 pounds, stripped, ant
won the worlds championship. 4
man with Smiths build, light legs
and the weight where he needs it fol
fighting, and good hands and know
ing something about real boxing
doesn't need to fear the biggest mar
that walks
Another good thing about smitf
is his high shoulders. A fighters
height isn't measured from the tor
of his head. never look to see how
tall man is that way The heigh
Of the shoulders count. That is my
big advantage. My short neck ant
high shoulders give the fightinl

M'INIOSH SAYS THAT
SAM LANGFORD IS BEST
AUSTRALIA PROMOTER is PUT
OUT OF BUSINESS BY Ex-
TRAVAGANT BOXERS.

The real reason why Sam Langford
is held in Australia, a virtual pris-
oner, is given in an interview with
Hugh Mcintosh by T. r Magilligan,
the star sport writer Of the San
Francisco Bulletin. Mcintosh has
sold out his ring interests to Snowy
Baker and is in San Francisco on
theatrical business.
1.-THE black Langford, Nc
Yea and Johnson-drove me out Of
business. You see, these blacks have
absolutely no sense Of BUSINESS, and
they have an idea that money in
Australia flows like wafer in Amer
ica," said Mcintosh to Magilligan.
Play Queer System.
"And they play a peculiar system,
the black boys. They always wait
until they think they have promoter
in the hole, and then they come
along with outrageous demands for
more money at an eleventh hour.
"Mcvea is one Of the worst in this
respect, but they are all bad. It's
nothing at all for one OF these black
fellows to make a demand for ST.
600 or $4,000 few days before the
match, and that, too, after they have
signed to fight for a certain amount.
eLangford is a regular baby When
it comes to financial matters. One
day this black fellow came into my
offices III Sydney and borrowed ST.
500 off me. Before the night was
over he was around for another $500.
Naturally enough, could not give
him all the money he wanted, and we
had falling out
Lanuford ls Best.
sAt that, continued Mr.. Mcintosh,
7 viii say this for Langford he Is
far and away the best heavyweight
in the world now. I have tried time
and again to get Jack Johnson to-
meet Iangford, but Jack would never
accept terms or sign for meeting
with the little black fellow from Bos-
ton. ae
When would get johnson near
the point Of a match with I.angford
he would stall me off with some ex-
cuse Finally | made things SO hot
for Johnson that he admitted to me
that Langford was too tough game
to tackle and he passed the little
fellow UP.
"A match between Langford and
Johnson would have drawn no end

Kid Shaffer worked out yesterday
afternoon with his trainer and show
ed good form. He has developed good
speed and with his hard punch hopes
to be the better man at the fight
with Newman next Tuesday evening.
Newman worked out as usual last
night, with the assistance of a classy
boxer, AL Burns, a middleweight who
dropped in yesterday and will remain
in Vegas until after the bout AL
is colored and is a clever boxer. He
gave Newman a good workout last
night. Newman has used Burns as
trainer several times and has al
ways shown class after the colored
man finished his work.
When Newman was training for
his fight with Boyd the fans were
Of the opinion that he was fast and
clever, but now they are more than
ever ready to praise him, as he is
showing twice the speed and class
that he showed before that historic
engagement. It is expected that the
interest in the bout will be intense
as the fans from Albuquerque are
taking all the Newman money that
is obtainable, it is said.
There has been a slight disagree
ment regarding weight between the
two boys, but this matter probably
will be Strengthened up today Ticket
reservations from Albuquerque
Ration and other places have been
asked for and not only will the Las
Vegas fans view this bout but bugs
from all over the state.

Dear Sirs
The state Of New Mexico. few
weeks ago, secured chemical analy-
sis Of samples Of milk and cream from
all the Las Vegas dairies. This in
formation was furnished to the grand
jury. The grand jury requested me
to write to all Of the dairymen fur
nishing them with the results Of the
analysis of their samples Of milk and
cream. Your dairy is to be congratu-
lated upon the excellent showing
made. The percentage Of butter fat
in the cream is .S4.2, in the milk S.6-
No trace of .preservative or any pois-
onous matter was found in either milk
or cream. The percentage Of acidity
Of the sample Of milk from your dairy
after standing in a chemical labora'
tory for rs hours was 4 cubic cent?
meters. The acidity gives a measure
Of the relative cleanness and the
excellent showing from your dairy i
conclusive proof that your bottles
and utensils are sterilized and that
all conditions of the dairy are clean
ly. The state will doubtless from
time to time make analysis Of the
various samples Of milk since the use
Of preservatives is contrary to the
laws of the state.
