the world. He knocked out Jack johnson in the
10th round OF their championship bout here today.
1t was Johnson's fight all the way until the 22nd
round, when his vitality left him because of the hard
pace, which he carried throughout the early rounds.
Then the giant plainsman opened his heaviest
attack and in the next few rounds carried the fight
away from the black man and toppled him over with
rights and lefts to the body and blows to the face.
Seventeen thousand persons saw the combat and

which most people are unaware
Meat is not merely food. IL also Is stiinu

And In the second place. when eaten In ex-

The reason for this second effect Is well
