 Dyspepsia: A term that has many meanings, depending upon the person using it. Faulty or imperfect diges- ton of food would be the commonest and simplest meaning, but have heard of mental dyspeptics, people who could not digest or assimilate the simplest information or people that had read so many books that they were surfeited, just as one may eat too much and no longer enjoy food nor can he assimi1ate or digest it.
 In most cases the primary cause lies in improper mastication, boiling the food as some call it. In some cases of this kind the partly chewed food is washed into the stomach with tea, coffee or other unnecessary drinks, possibly with soups, but in any event the food is not properly masticated. The taste bulbs of the mouth do not get a chance to find out whether 1t is good, bad or indifferent and as there is no chance for real satisfaction of the mouth hunger there is a vast quantity of food hastily washed into the stomach, absolutely unprepared for the gastric juices.
 Many cases of serious dyspepsia could be easily cured by the simple process of quietly, leisure1y and thor oughly chewing the food, but some cases are not of that kind. They must be studied and the cause located before a method of treatment can be decided upon. Fear and worry are factors in some cases and strange to say, fear and worry about what and how to eat is sometimes the very worst causes of dyspepsia
 pity the person who thinks he must have a, pair of scales and a care fully prepared chemical analysis of all the varied food on the table in or der that he may partake of the cor rect amount of mineral elements along with the proper amount of su- gars, fats, starches and proteins. All of such information, that is, a practical working knowledge of the vari ous combinations of food, can Ee easily procured in book form now and one can readily plan a simple and easily understood course of diet for almost any ailment that is due to dt- gestive disorders, but when the con dition is serious it is we'll to be prop erIy advised by some one that knows.
 A very good illustration of an old saying comes to mind. "One mans meat and another mans poison" In this case a man and wife ap oarent1y eating similar kinds of foods for a number of years. The man kept growing fatter and fatter while the woman grew thinner and thinner. He laughed good natured1y and she scoIded and fused. A very simple change in their diets and one that proved to be greatly to their liking was directed and the last reports 1 had showed the woman to be of nor nal weight and full of joy and laugh ter while the man, although still full of humor and always ready with a laugh, was no longer a burden to him self and an object of ridicule for others.

THE CATTLE KING
 OF PARAGUAY.


 When the liner Verdi reached New York from Buenos Ayres a few weeks ago, it brought among it's passengers MT. and Mrs. George Louis Rickard. of Paraguay. Thereby hangs a tale of adventure and romance, of for tunes won and lost, and of wander ings in distant parts of the world, as interesting as any yarn spun by the creators of -blooded'' fiction.
 The officers of the Verdi, with their familiarity with the pedigrees of South American plutocrats, would have told you that the big, bronzed up-standing hombre who appeared on the passenger list as George Louis Rickard is the cattle king of Par aguay-the principal owner of the Paraguay Land and Cattle Company, with a, ranch of five million acres and untold thousands of cattle graz ing on the hills and plains and val leys of the little inland republic, tucked in between Argentina, Brazil and Bolivia. And your informant might have added that this Par aguayan p1utocrat, a multi -rnilli on- aire, is no other than the Tex RickG-d who put Goldfield on the on the map and promoted the Cans Nelson and Johnson-J effries ring bat ties.
 Yes, Tex Rickard, now in his early forties, is rich again-which proves the truth of the assertion that you can't keep a good man down. In the South American republic he has rebuilt his shattered fortunes. With Tex Rickard the loss of one pile is but the beginning of another, and his latest success will not come as a surprise to those who know the life history of this amazing man.
 In sporting history ''Tex'' Rickard will long be remembered. as the man who paid $101,OOO for the Jeffries- Johnson battle in Reno, and thus proved himself the gamest and most daring prize ring promoter in the history of the sport. He has been cowboy, prospectOr, miner, gambler, mining promoter, banker and cattle baron, and he has carried on his ac- tivities in many parts of the United States and in Alaska, South Africa and South America
 Rickard was born in Kansas, and the Sunf1ower state thus numbers it's native sons not only the present champion of the world, but the stel- lar boxing promoter of all time. He was only three or four years old when his parents moved to Texas where his father bought a cattle ranch. Tex learned to ride a horse almost as early as he learned to walk. His youth was spent among the cowpunchers, and when he was old enough he became one of them. He made 8 reputation by his cool daring and his manliness, and while he was still a yOungster the. city dads of Henrietta offered him the job of city marshall
 As a cowpuncher Tex was get ting only $50 a month and board, and the job as peace officer brought in $75 and extras. Rickard decided to accept it. and while he was on the job there were few bad men brave

 s1O1,OOo. Tex intended to pull off the fight in San Francisco, but, after the arena was nearing completion and he had spent a large sum on the arrangements the governor vetoed the battle. Tex permitted this to daZe him for about two seconds, and then calmly announced that he would pull off the mill in Nevada He built another big arena, at Reno, where the great fisttc contest was staged. The worry and trouble incident to that match cured Tex of his desire to shine as a boxing promoter, but his interest in the game from a sporting viewpoint is as strong as ever. One of Richards chief reasons for visit ing his native land after an absence of over three years was to see a good bout. Down Paraguay way the folks are not much interested in the man ly art

enough to start anything in Henrietta
 He hadn't been wearing a star very long when he was afflicted with the Alaska gold fever. Tex resigned his job and hit the trail for the frigid north1and. He reached Dawson City before the rush started, and as a pioneer prospector accumulated enough gold to enable him to set up a saloon and gambling house in Daw- son. On several occasions the bad men of. the place tried to start a rough house in Richards place, but they always came off second best. The Dawson venture was not very prosperous, and t'Tex" pulled up stakes and went to Nome. It was about this time that Tex formed a wood-chopping partnership with Rex Beach, whose novels dealing with Alaska pioneer life have since made him famous Tex got enough money together to open another gambling house, this time in Nome. He made good-sized pile in this place and was a, wealthy man when he left Alaska and. returned to the states in 1904.
 Rickard naturally gravitated to Goldfield, after he had lost his Wad in a gambling house he had opened in Seattle, and staked out a number of claims. These banned out well, and Rickard found himself the pos sessor of another fortune. The god dess of chance still held an irresist1- ble lure for him, however, and he soon opened a gambling house in GoldfieId, known as the Great Northern. '"Tex'' and his partners in this venture are said to have split a million dollars between them dur ing the first four years the Northern was operated. '"Tex'' also opened saloon and gambling house at Raw hide and built a fine hotel at Ely.
 All his life RicI1ard had been in terested in the boxing game, and in 1906 he branched out a prize fight promoter by. offering a purse ot $So,- 900 for a lightweight championship bout between Joe Cans and Battling Nelson. Everybody predicted that ssTex'' would be badly stuck by this venture, but the sale of seats amounted to $69, 900, and Rickard was a. financial winner. It was love of the sport, however, rather than financial gain, which caused Rickard to break into the fight game.
 little later some of the great mines in Nevada, were closed down, there was a big slump in mining stocks and in the panic Tex lost the larger part of his fortune, then estimated at a round million A lit tie thing like that did not discourage ssTex" and with good management he saved a considerable sum from the wreckage and was soon on his feet again.
 Some years before this Rickard had become interested in mining prop critics in South Africa, and made sev- eraI trips to Johannesburg, often stopping in London, where he wit messed several bouts staged by the National Sporting Club.
 Encouraged by his success in the Gans-Nelson affair, Rickard deter mined to try for even bigger. .pugilistic game, and when the match between Jeffries and Johnson was proposed he landed it by offering a purse of

DETROIT TEAM BOASTS
 THREE SLUGGERS WHO
 ARE HITTING BALL HARD

Crawford, Cobb and 'tPeek-a-Boo'' veach. the famous fence-busting crew of the Detroit Tigers, are just tearing things loose this spring. If they can maintain the pace all past records will be dimmed or totally ecIipsed. Perhaps the greatest s1ugging trio the game ever had were Ed De1ehanty. Sam Thompson and Larry Jajoie. These three were on the lineup of the Philadelphia Nationals from August of 1896 until midsummer of the fol- lowing season, and generally follow ed each other on the batting list.
 In a game played during the spring of 1897 between the Giants and the PhilIies with the score of to in favor of the Giants and the Phii1ies at the bat in their half of the ninth with two out, the big sIugging trio gave an exhibition of how they were in the habit of pulling games out of the fire. ttMush''I De1ehanty singled Lajoie singled and Thompson trip1ed, and the game was over. These three great hitters made about half of the base hits credited to the whole Phi1a- delphia team during the time they were on its lineup.
 Since 1907, Crawford and Cobb have formed the nucleus of the fence busting brigade, using, in different seasons, such SWatsmen as RoSsTnan
 
 Donnie Bush as the third party one season. During the season of 1909 Cobb, Crawford and Bush made 546 of the 1,355 base hits credited to the Detroit team. The best g efforts of Crawford, Cobb and company were made during 1911, with J. DeIehanty as filler in. This great trio made 649 base hits. The total number made by the team stood 1,546. There are just four records in the history of the game which excel the above-rnen- toned record. and they were all made during the season of 1887, under the four-strike rule.
 New York had three batsmen who made the welkin ring with their ter rife batting from 1886 until 1889. The names of Roger Connor, Jim O'Rourke and Mike Tiernan were feared by all hurlers. Less than a dozen seasons ago Mike Donlin, Mertes and Browne were the s1ugging g tripIets. Between them they cleaned up 524 hits during the season of 1905. The punched sluggers on the Giant lineup last season were Bescher, Doyle and Burns, with Snodgrass, Fletcher and Merkle on the secondary line of offense.
 In the American League teams hay ing a battery of heavy arti1Ierists are scarce. The great trio of sluggers who scarried the men of Mack on to many victories are scattered Collins, Baker and McInnis were a much-feared d combination, and hurlers had good reasons to quake when facing them. For four seasons this bunch led all slugging trios in the American, but the Detroit three have held the honor in five different years. Crawford and Cobb always forming the main offen- sive, force.

WHAT CALLAHAN HAS
 TO SAY ABOUT COBB

In the June American Magazine Ring W. Lardner writes an amusing baseball story about Ty Cobb, of the Detroit Tigers, whom he calls the greatest player in the business Fol lowing is an extract from what he says about Ty Cobb:
 "But say, I wisht I was the ball player he is. They could throw pop bottles and these here bumbs at me, and I wouldn't kick. They could call me names from the stand, but I wouldn't care. If the whole popu1a- ton O the United States hated me like they think they hate him, I get back in that old game and play the ball he plays. But if I could, kid. I wouldn't have no time to be tallzin' to you.
 What do you think of him?'
 " Think of him!' says Cal. What could anybody think of him? I think enough of him to wish he'd go and break a leg. And I'm not sore on him personally at that
 " Don't you like to see him play baIl?' I says.
 "Td love to watch him. says Cal, if r could just watch him when he was pIayin, Philadelphia. or Washing ton or any club but mine. te.a ~-7s e
 CT guess you'd like to have him, wouldn't you?' I says.
 "'Me?' says Cal All I'd give for him is my right eye
 '''But, I says, he must keep a manager worried some in one way and other; you'd always be afraid he was goin' to break his own neck or cut somebody e1se's legs off or jump to the Fed'ra1s or somethin'.'
 '' I'd take my chances says Cal. T believe I could even stand the wor- T-V for a few days
 ''I seen in the papers where Mo Graw says Eddie Collins is the great est ball player in the world. ain't goin' to argue with him about it, be- cause I got nothin' but admiration for Collins He's a bear. But, kid, [ wisht McGraw had to play 22 games a year agin this Royston Romper. No, I don't neither. McGraw never done nothin' to me"

THE CONVENIENCE
 OF THE HOME STORE.

A friend was telling the other day about the habits of trading that many people had contracted in the town in which he lives. In order to get more of the home trade, the grocers of the town made a, special drive on sugar and flour, offering them at cost in order to get everyone coming into town people would come in and stock up on flour and sugar, but would buy practically nothing else.
 However if these people got short of a, yeast cake, or if they wanted1 ten cents worth of coffey in a, hurry, they would telephone down to the home store. They would get really angry if the local merchant didn't send his team right away to fill the little or der.
 It may be said by the way that the town in question, though very ad- VantageousIy located with railroad facilities and natural beauty, yet re- nlained stationary in population for the past twenty years. Dry rot seems to have struck it. Its young people go away to seek work, and it has a, general air of seediness. There is no town spirit or home loyalty.
 A line of good enterprising stores in place are a, public convenience just as important as electric lights, railroads, water supply ,etc. On their enterprise and success the public de- bends for good service. A hundred times in the course of a year the citi- zen looks to their good nature to pro- vide him with goods in a hurry, or to hunt up some particular article that he wants.
 Since the citizen receives all these favors from the home store, he should show spirit of reciprocity in his dealings with it. He can not expect that his wants will be carefully looked after and his convenience consulted, unless he takes pains to patronize the home store. Furthermore if a large part of the public give the cream of the trade to outside dealers, the home stores can never enlarge as they wi sh to, and as the public should be served in a town of this size.
