HERE'S "A WAY TO SAVE
DOCTOR BILLS
Physicians Give Free Advice
by Which Parents
May Profit

It's matter of general interest Just
now how ones physical condition can
be got into shape to best receive the
benefits of the summer season. Especial
ly is this true of the children. They
have become run down by a winter of
unnatural manner of living because of
lII-consldered food and much time spent
indoors. Spring comes with its sunsnlne,
its fresh vegetables and all else invigor-
ating, but the children are in no condi-
slon to receive nature s remedies.
Many parents call in the family ply
sieian. Many other parents take advan-
;age of what the physician told them
when he was first called in consultation.
All good family physicians say: "Givc
the children Castoria.'' Healthy parerts
know this remedy of old, for they took
it themselves as children 1t was more
than thirty years ago that Castoria
made a place for itself in the house
hold. 1t bore the signature of Charles
ii. Fletcher then, as it does today. The
signature is its guarantee, which is &C
cepted in thousands of homes where
there are children.
Much is printed nowadays about big
families. DIR. William j. McCrann, of
Omaha, Neb., is the father of one of
these much-:ead- about families. Here is
what he saws:
g As the father of thirteen children, 1
certainly know something about your
great medicine, and aside from my own
family experience, l have, in my years
of practice, found Castoria a popular
and efficient remedy in almost every
home.H
Charles H. Fletcher has received hun
dreds Of letters from prominent physf-
clans who have the same esteem for
Castoria that DIR. McCrann has. Not
only do these physicians say they are
using Castoria in their own families,
but they prescribe it for their patients
First of all it is a vegetable prepara
tion which assimlates the food and reg
ulaies the stomach and bowels After
eating comes sleeping, and Castoria looks
out for that too. 1t allays feverishness
and prevents loss of sleep, and this abb
solately without the use of opium, NOR
rhine or other baneful narcotic.
Medical journals are reluctant to dis
cuss proprietary medicines Hall's Jour
nal of Health, however, says: "Our
duty is to expose danger and record the
means for advancing health. The day for
poisoning innocent children through

new ORLEANS OFFERS
$l3S,OOO FOR MATCH
Fort Wayne Man Offers $l4O,
600, But This Is Looked
On as a Bluff
BY H. G. Hamilton

Omitted Press Staff Correspondent.)
New York, March 26.-Bids out of all
proportion are being made for the
championship bout between Jess Willard
and Fred Fulton, which will be staged
somewhere on July 4 next.
The tangle will be one of the greatest
ever seen. A huge crowd will witness
it. 1t s a fine sporting gamble for a
promoter to take in arranging the scrap
and bidding huge sum. But, the Viii
lard Fulton bout ism t worth $I50,000 of
any man s money and it s very probable
that just this much will be offered. For
a Fort Wayne, Ind. promoter already
says he has put up $l40,000 as the mari
for rival bidders to shoot at.
There are reasons to believe that
20 round bout between these two
huskies would draw as well as the JEFF
fries-Johnson match in Reno. In that
event hinge offer would not be out of
place. But, with war taxes to pay, in
creasing cost of building materials for
erection of an arena, increased cost of
training, printing and every other thing
that goes to make a championship fight,
it IS much more of a gamble than was
the affair between Jeffries and John
son.
The Fort Wayne promoter probably
has overstepped himself in announcing
the bout would be held in Fort Wayne.
There is hardly chance the Indianan
would stand for it. His offer, there
fore, may be discounted. But New
Orleans has offered $4,000 and New
Orleans is the logical place.
