All Of US remember
of hearing mother read

how the latter won be-
cause he started early

the former failed be-
cause he tried to make
up for lost time by ex-
cess speed.

deavor, il isn't so much
how fast you CAN 60
that counts as 1t is how
fast you DO go consist
entity over q certain pc
riod Of time.
The tortoise type OF
man in business will
get the greatest amount
OF work accomplished

Start Tomorrow and Keep It Up Every Morning Get In the habit of drinking a glass of hot water before
 breakfast.

We're not here long, so let's make our stay agreeable Let us live well, eat well, digest well, work well, sleep well, and look well. What a glorious condition to attain, and yet, how very easy it is if one will only adopt the morning inside bath.
 Folks who are accustomed to feel dull and heavy when they arise, split ting headache, stuffy from a cold, foul tongue, nasty breath, acid stom- ach, can, instead. feel as fresh as a daisy by opening the sluices of the system each morneng and flushing out the whole of the internal poison ous stagnant matter.
 Everyone. whether ailing, sick or well, should. each morning, before breakfast, drink a glass of real hot water with a teaspoonful of lime stone phosphate in it" to wash from the stomach, liver and bowels the previous days indigestible waste, sour bile and poisonous toxins; thus cleansing, sweetening and purifying the entire alimentary canal before putting more food into the stomach. The action of hot water and limestone phosphate on an empty stomach Is wonderfully invigorating. It cleans out all the sour Concentrations, gases, waste and acidity and gives one d splendid appetite for breakfast. While you are enjoying your breakfast the water and phosphate Is quietly ex- tra acting a large volume of water from the blood ad getting ready for thorough flushing of all the inside organs.
 The millions of people who are bothered with constipation. bilious spells, stomach trouble; others who have sallow skins, blood disorders and sickly complexions are urged to get q quarter pound of limestone phosphate from the drug store. This will cost very little, but Is sufficient to make anyone a pronounced crank on the subject of inside-bathing be- fore breakfast.

TIME MAKES CHANGE
EVEN IN RING GAME
Just -Four Years Ago Tender Was Williams Worshiper
Two Nights Ago Conditions We're Reversed, With
the ''Kid' Mmveling at the Southpa,Us Work
BY JAMES s. CAROLAN


JUST four years ago very frail
= youth, then mere preliminary boy,
never missed fight in which Kid Will
liams was principal.
Gee, how he can fight ~ often the
youthful aspirant would murmur. "I
only hope that some day 1 will be as
good as that bird"
During the waning months of 1914
and the early part of 1915 Kid Will
liams was terror to all bantams. Long
before he annexed the title he was con-
ceded to be the best man his pounds in
the game. A human fighting machine
with an unlimited supply of energy and
fighting force, to say nothing of courage,
he seemed almost unbeatable.
That Kilbane Match
Then came the day when the Kid was
matched with Johnny Kilbane. From
that March II, 1915, can the Kid date
his decline, for he never was the same
after that engagement.
On that evening there was a rival
show at the National which boasted of
most of the then fistic headliners. Over
at the Olympia was the Williams and
Kilbane affair.
The pale youth with wind up aspira
tions didn't hesitate in selecting his
show.
He was going to be present where the
Kid entertained.
That was four years ago!
Conditions Reversed
Just two nights ago conditions were
much the reverse. The pale youth with
wind up aspirations was the evening S
hero and the sensation of 1915 was
to a very few of those present.
The kid, virtually out of the class OF
topnotchers since his knockout defeat
at the hands of Joe Lynch more than 9
year ago is through. This he half ad-
mitted while quietly standing in the
second row at the ringside.
With panama hat placed well down
upon his low forehead and his checkered
suit floating gayly in the breeze Will
, liams repeatedly was heard to murmui
during the brief wind up:
Some Fighter
"Some fighter! What a hard fellow
he would be for me to hit. "ris just as
well that he came after my time"
And while carefully watching hi
every move the kid saw George Chane,
pass out and Lew Tender, the pale
faced aspiring youth of four years ago
reach the top of his class.
And what a difference four years
make even in the tistic game.
While waiting for hostilities Il
begin that night, fan standing neal
the Kid asked, "Well, OIL boy, yor
gonna fight any morc? I sure would
like to see you in that OIL ring again
for you're one guy that always CAV,
us run for our money"
A streak of red flushed across tn,

EXCELLENT FIELD
FOR POLO MATCH
Devon Meets Bryn Mawr in First
Game Played Here Since
War Began
PUBLIC INVITED FREE

The stage is all set for the opening
of the polo season. The first game to
be staged since the fall of 1916 will be
played tomorrow afternoon on the field
at Bryn Mawr between the Devon and
Bryn Mawr teams, beginning at 5
o'clock.
Colonel Robert E. Strawbridge states
that the field is in the best condition
that he has ever seen and that is say
ing a great deal, as it was always known
as the best in the country even when it
was constantly played upon. Now that
no horses have been on it since the war
began, the field will be in fine shape
for the two teams.
There will be no admission fee
charged tomorrow. 1t is intended by
those in charge of the match to stimu-
late interest in the revival of polo and
the result is that many society people
have been specially invited, but 1t is de-
sired to be made known that every one
will be cordially welcomed to this event,
the first polo game played here since
America entered the international lists.
The Devon team will be composed of
A. J. Drexel Paul, Rodman Wana :
maker, Robert Il. Strawbridge and
Robert e! Strawbridge, Jr..
On the Bryn Mawr team will be r.
Penn Smith, Jr., Frew Roe, Alfred NJ.

THOMPS SON BEST IN
FIELD OF HURDLERS
Dartmouth Youth Should Beat
Smith if in Condition, Says
Ted Meredith
REAL TEST FOR RAINEY
BY TED MEREDITH

Dy led MEnCD1IH
Worlds Greatest Middle Distance Runner
WHEN the three best hurdlers of the
W year meet on Saturday at the
Meadowbrook meet a question will be
decided that has caused lot of COM
ment since the intercollegiate games
last Saturday. Earl Thompson, of
Dartmouth; Erdman, of Princeton, and
Smith, of Cornell, are all booked to
run in the 100 yard high hurdles.
Smith won the event in the collegiate
meet last week with Thompson and
Erdman out of competition. Smith ran
the distance in Is 1-5 seconds, which is
faster than he has ever done before and
faster than Erdman has ever been.
Thompson has record of fifteen Sec
onds fat of several years standing, and
is the best man if in shape.
The outcome of this race will decide
what the Cornell team would have done
toward winning the meet if they had
not been favored with all the breaks
such as these two, hurdlers out and
Shea out of the quarter.
tIsohuils tulhh tnuI cuulIu, Ol
Cornell, will stand a lot of beating
and it will be more than Erdman can do
at this point Of his running. Erdman
did beat Smith in the Penn relays, but
the Cornell man has improved yards
since that event. Thompson is the
best man Of the trio if in condition, but
he has not been eligible to compete in
any of the meets this year SO that he
may not be in the Is fiat shape.
Should Smith be beaten by both it
will prove only one thing and that is
that the breaks won the collegiate meet
for Cornell and that the Red and Blue
team who were the favorites to win
were rightly picked as the favorites.
The 100 yard race on Saturday will
be test of the ability of Joe Rainey,
the Central High sprinter. Rainey has
been promising to break school records
all spring and has been timed in fast
times in all the meets. He will meet
Raymond, the intercollegiate winner, on
Saturday and it will be a test for the
school boy and especially a test of men
that have been timing Rainey so fast.
Haymand, we know, is ten second
man. but even he has not done this time
on many occasions, most of his races
having been run in 10 10, which is the
time that has been credited to Rainey
If Rainey is beaten by a yard in 10 Ii
| he may still be a 10s15 man, but il
he is beaten by greater distance he is
not up to that mark.
