The Government now has a gigantic

Bob York, the other night
Tommy needs the layoff, for the
York battle was his fifth since New
Years and his fourth in four weeks.
He has designs on Rowlands' scalp
and while he knows the Milwaukee
scrapper will be considerably more
tough than York, he is confident of
victory.
The sailor-boxer has agreed to
perform for the wounded soldiers
at the United States general hoSpi-
tai No. 80 on Chicago's south side
March 5. 1t will be but an exhibit
ton and Tommy willingly agreed
to show. Murphy considers himself
lucky that he was not messed up
in the war and is only too eager to
entertain those less fortunate.
1t is possible he will go to Camp
Grant and Fort Sheridan to box for
the wounded heroes.
Since his wonderful and busy
campaign, Chicago fans are begin
ming to talk of the championship
for Murphy. They want to see him
in action and are besieging Racine
to get busy. That club has already
sent out feelers for a battle with
Phil Harrison Cedar Rapids, Wa
terloo and Peoria also have put in
bids, while Add Thatcher, the To-
ledo promoter, paid Tommy a visit
in an effort to get his signature.

Great Sacrifice of
France for America

France has put six million of her
36,000,000 population into the
trenches and has poured out her
LIES blood for America and democ-
racy. In addition we owe her a
large debt of gratitude for a per
feet remedy for stomach, liver and
intestinal ailments which her peas
ants discovered and successfully
used The ingredients are now i'm
ported and sold by George H. Mayr,
leading Chicago chemist, under the
name of Mayr's Wonderful Remedy.
Marvellous results are said to have
been achieved by it here. It is a
simple, harmless preparation that
removes the catarrhal mucus from
the intestinal tract and alIays the

nal ailments, including appendicitis.

lines wish to increase the wages On
their employees, l am in favor of
them doing so out of their excess
