GIANT KILLER DILLON
AFTER BIG CHAMPION

NEW YORK, July I2.-Lion-hearted
Jack Dillon, the GiantKilleT, has
earned the chance 10 battle against
Jess Willard for the heavyweight
championship OF the world. but will he
ever get II? II he does, can he. BY his
wonderful ring skill, overcome the
physical handicap?
Dillon is confident he can beat Will
lard. But how many agree with this
whirlwind midget? How many think
a man 5:07ia, weighing l69. with -
inch reach. can outbatter a rival who
towers sos inches, weighs go and mas
an S4-inch reach?
Jack Dillon ranks today a. the sec
ond best pugilist I'm the world. He Is
only notch or so below Jess Willard
Judged by comparative snowings. Dill
Ion is the better man.
OilIon's Record Better.
The Giant Killer gave Frank No

He battered the blond Pittsburger all
around the ring. He made Moran look

Smith gained decision over Willard.
so did "Bearcdt" Mcmahon Dillon
beat both these men.
Therefore. on the face Of things.
Dillon Is the better fighter and could
beat Willard.
Having the advantage of one foot In
reach, Willard could jab Dillon out of
range. Jacks only chance to rip left
and rights to Wizards body would be
TO bore through the massive Willard
guard. The champions jaw would be
so high that only by leaping could
Dillon reach IL. With a lOO-pound
edge in weight, Willard could clinch
and rest himself and wear out Dillon
by laying on him.
Willard Has Advantage.

Goodbye Dollar

Every dollar you send out Of town
flys away with a value that rightfully
belongs to your community. Spend it
at home with your home merchant
where its value stays with you and helps
build up your interests. When you
come to think of it, there are only two
kinds of dolars-the dollar wi t b
wing, and the development Dollar"
The dollar with "wings" goes to build
up the far distant city, the big metropo-
lis, with its vice and crime and low
wages and poverty. The Development
Dollar" goes to build up the Home
Town. 1t helps build up nation of
real men and women. Then let US make
the dollars we spend Development
Dollars, Home Town builders, build
ings for US and our neighbors and our
children, making our community more
prosperous, more happy and more con-
tented.

GRACE MARSHALL BETTER

Grace Marshall, the Easton girl who
was kept a prisoner in her room for
many years, and who was later taken
to the Phipps Clinic of Johns Hopkins
Hospital, Baltimore, for mental treat
ment, and physical treatment, has just
lately given some faint signs of mental
improvement.
The change from her former condi-
ton of almost complete mental blank
is very slight, her doctor says, but it is
enough to indicate that the treatment is
taking hold slightly and stimulating her
mind. She can now say few words
and seems to have a few coherent
thoughts that she tries hard to express
in words.
From condition of terrible emacia-
ton she has now become almost normal
physically. She has gained about thirty
pounds in weight and eats and sleeps
regularly. 1t is believed that years of
treatment will be necessary to restore
her mind and sometimes her physicians
think that she may never be able to
leave the care of some physician.

DEATH LAID TO BAD HABITS
Shortness of Life in the Human Race
Is Ascribed to Its Complete Lack
of Wisdom.

Dietitians commenting on modern
recklessness in eating, quote the re-
mark Of Seneca the Roman philoso-
pher, Man does not die, he kills him
self" Originally made to live 1000
years, man has fallen to an average of
only one-third of a century.
1t has taken 5000 years, the authori-
ties tell US, to develop a race that
will live, by hook or by crook, as long
as thirty-three years, which is given as
the present-day average. The blame
is placed upon our. disregard of plain
honesty in living.
We scorn everything natural and
surrender to artificial qualifications
and indulgence that tend to ruin the
natural health of the body. Our dis
cretion cannot be trusted to do the
common-sense obvious thing
1t is pointed out thot animals live
longer on natural food than on mans
mixture. A sick horse turned out to
pasture will get well, and if fed on
bran, oats and other food prescribed
by man he dies.
