foods. Physicians claim there is
nothing that will supply this defic-
iency so well as the organic phos-
phate known among druggists as
bitro phosphate, which is inexpensive
and is sold by most all druggists un-
der a guarantee of satisfaction or
money back. BY feeding the nerves
directly and by supplying the body
cells with the necessary phosphoric
food elements. bitro-phosphate should
produce a welcome transformation
in the appearance; the increase in
weight frequently being astonishing.
Increase in weight also carries with
1t general improvement in the
health. Nervousness, sleeplessness
and lack of energy, which nearly al
ways accompany excessive thinness,
should soon disappear dull eyes
ought to brighten, and pale cheeks
glow with the bloom of perfect
health Miss Georgia Hamilton, who
was once thin and frail, reporting
her own experience, writes "Bitro-
Phosphate has brought about n magic
transformation with me. L gained Is
pounds and never before felt. so
we'll"
CAUTION: - Although bitro-phos-
phate is unsurpassed for relieving
nervousness, sleeplessness and sem
eral weakness. it should not, owing
to it's tendency to increase weight,
be used by anyone who does not de-
sire to put on flesh.

@H0NEY" MELODY PASSES
AWAY, PNEUMONIA VICTIM


BOSTON, March S.-William. J. Mel
lody, known in the ring as Honey
Melody, former weIterweight boxer,
died at his home in the CharlestoIn
district Saturday from pneumonia.
Melody was born in Charlestown
on January IS, 1884, and began. mis-
professional career in 1901. Melody
started out at a whirlwind clip, his
opponents in 1901, seven in number,
each suffering a knockout at the
hands Of the Bay Slater. The first to
suffer was Jack Kearns, who was put
20 sleep in the second round. From
that bout until the time Melody re-
tired in 1912 he met the best men in
his class.
In 1906 Melody won from Joe Wal
colt a hfteen-round bout at Chelsea,
Mass, and claimed the welterweight
championship. Five weeks later ne
again met Walcott at Chelsea and
won IN twelve rounds. Although at
the time Melody beat Walcott ex-
perts were divided as to whether
Dixie Kid or Walcott was the recog-
nized champion, Melody claimed the
title on the ground that Walcott was
champion.

RICHARD MAY
CHOOSE SITE
NEARGOTHAM

NEW YORK, March 3.-With the
expected arrival here today of pro-
moter Tex Rickard, who has been in
the southwest for the last few weeks,
interest in the proposed champion
ship bout between Jess Willard and
Jack Dempsey increased materially.
Speculation was rife as to where
Rickard plans to stage the contest
scheduled for July 4.
Many well informed eastern boxing
enthusiasts profess to believe that
the big fellows viii be seen in action
for the championship crowd not so
vary far from New York Some 20
90 far as to assert that there is a
strong possibility that the bout will
be held In or near New York city.
Others pick New York, and base
their belief on q statement made by
Richard in Texas I'm which the pro-
meter was quoted as saying that the
contest would be held in the East.
It IL said that the number Of rounds
viii be few.
New York fight fans who are fol-
lowing the promoters movements
closely are welded to the belief that
Richard has practically decided upon
the place of meeting. They expect
him to divulge the secret upon his
arrival here.
Fight followers, who assert that
the Sig bout win come to New York,
based their belief upon the action Of
the New York State legislature, in
connection with boxing legislation
now under consideration.
Senator Gibbs expects to submit his
amended boxing bill within the next
few days. and a preliminary hearing
Is scheduled before the judiciary com
mittee at Albany on March IL. SEN
ator Gibbs and others interested in
the subject have asked news writer's
and opponents Of boxing to attend the
hearing on the foregoing date.
The chief objection to the New
Jersey proposal, boxing enthusiasts
assert is the short course. Eight
rounds is entirely too short for a
championship contest, they maintain,
and many are hopeful that twelve
round contests viii be legalized in
New York 50 that the big fellows may
have an opportunity of appearing
here. These and other possibilities
are under consideration, but It re-
mains' for Ricksrd to go on record
with a definite statement.

They make a ring around the Buff

The cooking had warmed up the
bones and the Buff knew he was in
right If nobody didn't order another

dice to see who was going to be the
dinner or the diner. Buffalo gets his
iinshOot working and opens up the
throttle. Threw a seven and the

old King smothered with naturals
when. all of a sudden, another big
smoke eases by with another set of
hags. One had a single spot on it
and the other had two. The Buff
added 'em up and knew that the cows
had come home tails first.
He was skeered to throw the bones
again, for he knew they were loaded
with bad news. The King said
something that sounded like a set
of dishes Gathering down a flight OF
steps. and every minstrel in that
show pulled out a razor that was
long enough to strop on the moon.
The Buff took it on the loop and
was one jump ahead OF the nearest
razor and two jumps behind a fit

He grabs a grapefruit, beans the
nearest guy, and waits for the ex-

Either that grapefruit wasn't load

head that made him look like twins.
