evil than to submit to wrong. Therefore
we, as loyal citizens, are glad to uphold
our Government in the stand it has TAX
en- on the side of liberty and humanity.
We have thus come face to face with
the necessity for deciding how we can
most effectually serve our country and
our fellow men.
There are many kinds of service. All
should do something. The inspiring mo-
tive should be service rather than safe
ty. You may be privileged to serve
in one way, | in another. But there is
at least one form of service in which
we can all unite, and that is the SER
vice of feryent, righteous prayer, which
the apostle James says "availeth
much" This prayer consists in casting
out of human consciousness all thoughts
of hatred, resentment, revenge, averice,
greed, and fear-those thoughts which
cause and perpetuate war and strife. In
so doing we shall not only free our own
thinking from confusion, but we shall
by that much lessen the sum total of
the world S belief in evil. You can, if
you wish, enlist in this warfare of right
thinking to-day. And who shall say
that your service in this cause will be
unavailing. 1t took but one man, con
scious of the power of prayer, to still
the tempest on the Sea of Galilee. And
have we not right to hope and ex-
pect that the teachings of the Maser
will yet prove adequate to still the
turmoil that is in the world to-day and
establish a righteous, honorable, and
enduring peace8

SALTS IS fine FOR
KIDNEYS, QUIT MEAT
Flush the Kidneys at Once
When Back Hurts or Blad-
der BOthers - Meat
Forms Uric Acid

No man or woman who eats meat
regularly can make a mistake by flush
ing the kidneys occasionally, says q
well known authoIty. Meat forms uric
acid which clogs the kidney pores SC
they sluggishly filter or strain only
part of the waste and poisons from the
blood, then you get sick, Nearly all
rheumatism, headache, liver trouble
nervousness, constipation, dizziness
sleeplessness, bladder disorders come
from sluggish kidneys
The moment you feel dull ache in
the kidneys or your back hurts, or if
the urine is cloudy, offensive, full of
sediment, irregular of passage or at
tended by q sensation of scalding, get
about four ounces of Jad Salts from
any reliable pharmacy and take a ia
blespoonful in a glass of water before
breakfast for few days and your kid
neys win then act fine. This famous
salts is made from the acid of grapes
and lemon juice, combined with lithia
and has been used for generations to
flush elogged kidneys and stimulate
them to activity, also to neutralize the
acids in urine so it no longer causes ir-
ritation, thus ending bladder disord
ers
Jad Salts is inexpensive and can
not injure, makes a delightful effer-
vescent lithia water drink which all
regular meat eaters should take now
and then to keep the kidneys clean and
the blood pure, thereby avoiding ser
ious kidney complications.

reputation around the country, and who
was expected, therefore, to make short
work of his opponent.
Sullivan refused to spoil the shine on
his pretty new shoes when he entered
the ring, and disregarded requests to
put rosin on them. 1t probably was a
lucky thing for Donaldson that this was
so, for, in their newness, the shoes
skidded around the ring and enabled
Donaldson to avoid the real crushers in
Sullivan s repertoire of swings and
straight punches. The bout went four
rounds and the crowd begged for more
but donaldson, aware of the class of
the man he was to meet, refused. Sui
livan had smashed and tore at him until
the man with a reputation was nearly
denuded of it. Sullivan was confident
he could win decisively in few more
rounds. Finally, as the clamor increased,
Donaldson offered to meet Sullivan
again, with a side bet Of $500, the bout
to go to q finish.
Sullivan agreed to the terms, and the
fight finally was held, with Donaldson
succumbing in 10 rounds-a badly beat
en- man.

CHAPTER III.

RilAI IEh 1lls
A Cincinnati sports writer it was who
gave Sullivan his chance to become pro-
minent. Before this man went TO Bos-
ton and took look at the touted Bos-
ton Strong Boy, Sullivan gave serious
thought to becoming bah player. He
had received an offer from the famous
old Cincinnati Red Stockings and was
just ready to accept.
However, business took the sports ed
itor Of Cincinnati newspaper to Bos-
ton, and after getting one look at the
wonderful muscular development Of Sui
livan he realized that here was man
likely to become the pugilistic sensation
of the age. He Immediately signed Sui
livan to contract that called for his
appearance in a match at Cincinnati.
Sullivan didn Il know who he was to
meet, and neither did the promoter Of
the bout, but there was no difficulty
about that. The agreement was made
and lived up to.
Looks for Opponent.
The sports editor went back to Gin
cinnati and began casting about for a
suitable opponent for the Boston man.
He had promised him only 800 for the
bout, which, in those days, was con
sidered sufficient remuneration for any
fighter. Fighters were supposed to be
boxing, in the main, to show how good
they were, and not for wealth. Their pay
was supposed to be enough to keep away
hunger and to clothe them.
Sullivan was getting rather impatient

TERRY N'GOVERN
TAKES LAST COUNT
Former FeatherWeight Cham.
piOn Dies In Brooklyn
Hospital Today

New York, Feb. 22-Terry McGoverr
former world 5 featherweight champion
boxer died at Kings county hospita
Brooklyn.
Terry McGovern, known to ring fol
lowers as "Terribie Terry, was borr
IN Johnstown, Pa, 38 years ago. He
made his home, however, in Brooklyn
! eor several years and was generally re
ferred to as Terry McGovern of Brook
lyn.
He became i'll last December, when he
was on visit to Camp Upton, one of
the nearby cantonments, and was then
removed to a hospital, but rallied and
seemed about to recover. Tuesday night
he again was taken i'll and was sent
to the Kings county hospital. He be-
came unconscious last nj ght and died
without regaining consciousness.
Mrs. McGovern was at the bedside of
her husband when he died.
McGovern lost the worlds feather
weight championship when he was
Knocked out by Young Corbett in Hart
ford, Conn, much to the surprise of
boxing followers, who had believed Nc
Govern unbeatable. Corbett repeated the
Knockout some time later in San FhRn-
cisco and McGovern s star Immediately
began to decline.
McGOvern is the third of the old time
fistic champions to die within short
period, the first being Bob Fitzsimmons
and the second John l.. Sullivan.
McGoVern died a poor man, despite
the fact that at the height of his bog
ing achievement he was one of the most
popular boxers the ring ever knew. Ly-
ing beside Terry in the hospital was
his brother, Hughie McGovern suffering
from broken arm.
McGovern died from the effects of
fast living, according to intimate
friends. Brights, disease, however, was
the immediate cause.
Terry came into the championship
when he defeated George Dixon, the
wonderful negro, and successfully de-
Tended his laurels until he met Young
Corbett in 1902. He fought many light
weights, including Joe Cans and Frank
Erne, both of dhom he defeated by
knockouts. He met Erne in Madison
Square Garden in this city and defeated
Cans in Chicago.
Among the other knockouts to his
credit were those over Eddie Santry and
Kid Broad, still referred to as two of
the best of the old time featherweights.
McGovern also held the bantamweight
championship at one time, winning it
from Pedlar Palmer in 1899. The fight
lasted less than round
In late years McGovern has lived prac-
tically on pension given him by Sam
Harris, an early promoter of bouts in
which McGovern engaged. In addition
he had been serving as a referee at a
local boxing club and was playing base
ball. He is survived by a son, Joe, be-
sides his wife.

Attracts Big Crowd.
Sullivan was given lot of adver.
tising through this bout. The day it
was decided he should go to Cincinnati
to box, his diseoverer began to exploit
him as the coming pugilistic champion,
so when he showed up in Cincinnati he
was an object of much curiosity. Crowds
would gather about the Boston young
ster on the street. 1t annoyed Sullivan
some, but he finally came to regard it,
even at that time in his life, as an ap-
probation due him. Even then he had
some vague idea that there wasn' 7 q
man alive who could whip him, and he
acted accordingly.

young man when he landed in Cincin.

Mr. James mentions as a noticeable IL
not peculiar fact. that he has not seen
any pine grosheaks this winter. whereas
they are usually plenty at this season.
Asked about the number of English spar
rows to be seen this winter the question
being prompted by the report that they
had recently disappeared from Dover. y
H. where they had been by the thou
sands. His answer was that the number
seemed much less than usual although
plenty were in evidence and that the
doves also seemed in less numbers. No
doubt all of the feathered species familiar
to US have suffered alarmngly by the
extreme cold and scarcity of their feed.
The sparrow hawks. Great Northern
shrikes, the saw whet and screech owls
and the goshawks have also aided ma
terially in reducing the numbers of local
birds.
