Auto.|ntoxication
Causes Death

Do you know why you have sick
headache, diabetes, neuralgia, rheu-
matism and liver or kidney troubles?
It's because you are being poisoned
by products of your own body. Your
organs of elimination are not work
ing properly. Waste material that
should be thrown out is being retained
to poison and intoxicate your system.
That could not happen if the bowels
were kept open with Granger Liver
Regulator. This splendid preparation
is purely vegetable and non-a,cohoiic:
Demand Granger Liver, Regulator at

and articles used by soldiers during
the Revolution and Civil wars, such
as. canteens, guns. swords. horns

In fact, articles are asked for

relics in use fifty to seventy.fve
years ago. 1t is impossible to name

HERE'S THE REASON
DAVE FULTZ is MAD
Players Frat Head Gets Shady
Deal When He Was an
Athlete.
STILL HOLDS GRIEVANCE

Admirers OF David Fultz, and lie
has admirers as well as enemies who
can see no good i'll him. declare David
is absolutely serious in his opinion
that the ball player always gets the
worst OF it from the club owner and
that it is his (Fultz's) bounden duty
as a former player TO secure the
rights of the athlete. This fixed opin-
ion in the mind OF Fultz may be due
to an experience he had himself when
he first broke into base ball as a
youngster Just out of college, where
he had made a reputation as great in
those days almost as that which
George Sisler in these times brought
into professional ball with him.
Fultz came fresh from Brown uni
vcrsity with offers from several clubs
in his pocket, He decided to accept
that OF Colonel Rogers, who then
owned the Phillics. and the contract
called for $4,000 for the season. That
amount was then the National league
salary limit and Fultz thus was ranked
with the hlSn-prlCeQ stars OF inc
game. He played good ball and ev
erybody told him he was worth the
limit.
The next year, however, he received
contract for $l,200, and went at
once to Rogers to protest. why"
said the latter, surely you didn't
suppose you got $2,400 for playing?
Half of that was a bonus for sign
ing with US"
There was nothing in the original
contract to that effect" comments
Fultz, "and | remember going out
of Rogers office and saying to my
self, My CORY, is that what VIC ball
players are up against
From that day to this Fultz seems
to have nursed his grievance. Instead
of being a light-hearted college boy
he changed to man obsessed with
the notion that every mans hand-if
that man happened to be club own
er-was against him and every other
ball player.

A Noble Dog.

A Noble Dog.
By Helen Crabb, 40l6 North Thirty
fourth Avenue, Omaha Age 9
Years. Red Side.
In the mountains of Colorado many
OF the streams go dry in the summer
and fall, but in the spring they are
very strong and dangerous.
A family who did not know about
this built a cabin near one of these
dry stream beds and remained all
winter. The father cut pine trees
and made telephone poles, while the
mother and baby and large dog kept
house.
One rainy night they were all awak-
ened by a loud roaring noise, and
before they could even get up their
cabin was struck by a great food Of
water. The cabin was broken into
pieces and 1oated away. The father
held the mother on one of the logs
and landed safely further down, but
the baby in its wooden cradle and
the dog had gone from sight.
In the morning at daylight the anx-
ious parents hunted up and down the
stream, which had gone down again,
for the baby and dog They found
them together, the baby in a clump
of bushes, where the faithful dog was
guarding it. The baby was not hurt,
but only hungry and had been car
ried to the place by the dog. Her
papa and mamma were very happy.
Wasn't he a noble dog?
Omaha daily bee., 1917-02-18

a rally by Moran forced him to come
back hard in order to hold his lead,
he always stopped just when it, ap-
peared that he was about to land the
knockout. After the bout he pleaded
an injured hand, and also said that he
did not want to injure the game by
polishing off his opponent, but neither
of these excuses rang true.
Wind Only Weak Part.
So far, Wizards lack OF wind is
the most noticeable weakness that is
apparent in the big fellow, and If he
is to be defeated it is likely to be
done by taking advantage of it. In
order to beat him it will be neces-
sary to make him work at top speed
and prevent him from resting. This
is even OF far more importance than
landing clean blows, for il he can be
kept from resting he will beat him
self,
In sizing up the lanky Fulton's
chances his ability to carry Willard
along at hot pace should be con-
sidered above hitting ability or box
ing skill Wizards next opponent
need not fear receiving great deal
OF punishment, for unless all signs
arc misleading the champion in the
future will eonfine himself strictly to
defensive work and will not chase
after his younger and better condi-
toned opponents.
At long range work Fulton, with
his rapid fire left jab, should do well
enough, but in order to force Will
lard to exert himself all the time
great deal OF inhghting will be
necessary, and Fulton has shown
himself to be very weak at that style
Of work. He is too frail to pull and
haul with the giant Willard on equal
terms. The best that Fulton could
expect would be TO outspeed the
champion and secure shade decision
on points.
II that happened it would not benc-
ht the game in general to any great
extent. Ii would simply cheaper Will
lard without having any effect on the
title. and the bout itself probably
would be so Disappointing that there
would be a loud outcry from the
spectators. Every time a champion
is defeated in no-decision affair in
terest falls off in the class in which
he belongs. So far the heavyweight
division has escaped, and Willard is
looked upon as the real thing and not
a champion in name only.

back when he should be forcing the
pace. Yelling has big advantage in
his unusual height and reach. He is
the tallest of all the men who claim to
be lightweights and yet he can weigh
in at the American limit of lS3
pounds and still be strong,
Johnny Dundee's knockout at the
hands of Willie Jackson, while prob
ably huke, puts him out Of the run
ming for time. Whether Dundee will
ever come back again as we'll as ever
is somewhat doubtful, as for some
time before the Jackson affair he had
shown signs of losing his once re-
markable ability TO shake off punish
mcnt without showing its effects.
Willie Jackson. the conqueror OF
Dundee, is so little known it is hard
to rate him. 1t may be that Jackson,
like so many phenomenal boxers who
have gained fame over night, will con-
tinue to perform like a top-notcher,
but his actions since his defeat of
Dundee do not indicate that he has
great deal OF confidence in himself.
Jackson Unfortunate.
Jackson will not even discuss a
match with Leonard or with Johnny
Kilbane, who knocked him out over
in Philadelphia last year. Jackson is
unfortunate in the matter of weight,
being in between classes. He is a
little too heavy for the feather
weights and altogether too light to
cope with the l55-pounders, How
ever, he is a mere youngster and
growing fast, so that in year from
now he probably will be big enough
and have gained enough experience
to be real star. At present he is
wise in going slow.
Ritchie Mitchell, the westerner who
recently made a show Of Welsh, can
make the weight and is fast, clever
boxer, but without much hitting abil-
ity. On the strength OF his perfor-
nance with Welsh, MitehelPs stock
took big boom, but it immediately
fell off many points when he refused
to go through with his match with
Johnny Kilbanc.
II the limit for the American
championship is set at 1888 pounds,
Kilbane might be strong, il not the
strongest, contender for the honors.
None of the lightweights has shown
any desire to tackle the feather
weight champion. On the other
hand, neither has Kilbane gone out
of his way to force the issue. Al
though he can get no matches in his
own class, Kilbane is not a reckless
matchmaker, and he is very careful
about running undue risk.
Omaha daily bee., 1917-02-18

For the first time since he left this
city in more or less disgrace, Johnny
Kilbane will show himself to local
fans this month in bouts with local
lightweights Since the feather
weight champion so easily disposed
of George Clancy, who was the only
contender for his title, there has been
great change of sentiment in Kill
bane's favor He now is recognized
as the great fighter his unhampered
reign would indicate even if there
were no other reason for rating him
as such.
1t now is up to kilbane to make
good and show New Workers his real
forms In the past his bouts in this
city have been most unsatisfactory,
and unless he intends to do better he
would be wise to remain away. The
difference in Kilbane's form as shown
here and in Philadelphia and other
cities is so marked that it is one Of
the mysteries of the ring Just why
he should inhict his poorest perform
ances on New Workers and thereby
lose standing in the boxing center
that pays the biggest purses is hard
to understand.
The match that Kilbanc is most
anxious to obtain is the one with
Freddie Welsh. However, until Kill
bane puts up one or two high-class
bouts and so removes any doubt as
to his popularity with local fans. the
promoters cannot afford to take a
chance and put on such high-priced
affair. But il Kilbane shows cham
pionship form in his coming CAM
paign there will be such a demand
created for a match with Welsh that
the promoters no longer. will have
any reason to hesitate about bidding
for the bout.
Willie Jackson. the youngster who
sprung the surprise of the season by
knocking out Johnny Dundee in one
round, finally has consented to fight
again. For a time it looked as though
Jackson was going to wait until his
remarkable feat was forgotten before
getting into action. Jackson has
agreed to tackle Eddie Wallace at the
Harlem Boxing club on February 10.
Whether Jackson really has anything
like championship form should be
made clear when he faces the Brook
lyn lightweight,
Sam Fitzpatrick, the veteran who
piloted Jack Johnson when the latter
won the heavyweight championship
from Tommy Burns, has taken Pat
Bradley, the Australian welterweight,
under his wing. Bradley is hard on
the trail of Marty Cross, whom he
thinks he would take into camp if
given an opportunity.

Honorable Mention. }
George Washington.

By Tillie Krambeck, Aged IS Years,
Gretna, Neb. Blue Side.
As have been reading the chill
dren's page for long time ! decided
to write story for it.
l am IS years old now. When !
was years had infantile paralysis,
which has left both OF my limbs
paralyzed, so that | can only walk
by the aid of crutches. My papa
takes me to school every day and !
am in the eighth grade. / also take
music lessons, which enjoy very
much.
George Washington was born in
Westmoreland county, Virginia, Feb
ruary q, 1882. His father died when
he was II years old and his education
was directed by his mother. She
taught him to be truthful and obedi-
.ent and there were few Of his age
who could equal him in running,
swimming or throwing.
Early one morning wild colt was
racing about one OF Mrs. Washing
tons fields. This happened after
Georges father Died. George liked
to do things that frightened other
people. so he said to some OF his
