BOXING WITH FEET POPULAR
Attempts to Introduce French Style
Of Exercise Into This Country
Never Was Successful.

The form OF boxing known as ia
savate," in which the feet are used
as well as the fists, and kicks are
as legitimate as blows, has for long
time been a popular exercise in
French gymnasiums and schools Of
arms. In this country it is practically
unknown, although attempt has been
made at various times to introduce it
here.
The first principle is that the
whole weight of the body shall be
placed on one leg, and that the far
thest from the adversary, says Wash
ington Star. The disengaged leg is
used as an adjunct to the fists, and
flies out with astonishing swiftness
and accuracy of aim.
The coup de savate" proper is the
"chasse" off the right foot, or "shin
hit" dangerous blow, but one that
is easily avoided by raising the left
knee to the level of the waist. For
midable as this method of assault and
others, such as the coup d'arret," or
straight stop hit, and the coup de
figure" or swinging face kick, may be.

the parties and guards are simple and
sure if properly used.

THE NEWEST REMEDY FOR
BACKACHE, RHEUMATISM AND DROPSY

Kidney, Bladder and Uric Acid trou-
bles bring misery to many. When
the kidneys are weak or diseased,
these natural filters do not cleanse
the blood sufficiently, and the poisons
are carried to all parts of the body.
There follow depression, aches and
pains, heaviness, drowsiness. irrita-
bility, headaches, chilliness and rheu-
matism. In some people there are sharp
pains in the back and loins, distressing
bladder disorders al sometimes obsti-
nate dropsy. The uric acid sometimes
forms into gravel or kidney stones.
When the uric acid affects the muscles
and joints it causes lumbago, rheuma-
tism, gout or sciatica. This is the time
to send Dr.. Pierce, Invalids' Hotel,

purpose, if you can only find out what
it is. There is whole lot to think

"Yes. But there wasn't any Welsh

Twice Sheppard made it possible
for the United States to win the

able he was, along in 1910, at from 800
to 1000 yards. 1t was in this year
that they declared him the greatest
all-round runner that ever lived. Gov
ering a period of three months, he
created IL world and American rec

and could run six m ,es as well as
he could quarter. Sheppard's great
