of the title holders retirement prove

These two fellows would draw a

MATCH At BLFS,
FeatherWeight Champ Meets
BeImond Lightweight in
Main Event at Audi
torium Across River.

Tomorrow night at the Council
Bluffs Auditorium, Vernon Breed
love will try to show the wrestling
fans that he is just as good man
as Jack Reynolds, the welterweight
champion, to whom he lost two
straight falls two weeks ago. Last
night at Cedar Rapids, Ia, Reynolds
wrestled Jack Finn of Belmond, Ia,
and downed him twice in less than
seven minutes in the quickest mat
event ever seen in the Iowa town.
Tomorrow night this same Finn
will meet our little featherweight
champion in finish match in the
Bluffs. Vernon intends to show his
friends that he is really a better man
than Reynolds, despite the differ
ence in their weights. If he can do
as we'll or better with Finn than
Reynolds did, Breedlove feels that
his friends will realize that he was
working under considerable handi-
cap when he took the weller cham
pion on so soon after his hard tus-
sic with Swindel. The Belmond>mat
man will weigh in under 100 pounds
for the "goY tomorrow night, so it
is unlikely that there will be any
great difference in the weights OF
the two men. The local man will
probably weigh l27'or 128 pounds
when he goes on the pad and even il
his opponent is just at the agreed
upon weight. he will be under nc
great heft handicap.
Two preliminaries will precede the
main event and promoter Fiori gives
out the information that the first
bout will go on promptly at $50
The second bout will be rushed on
as soon a. the first pair gets through
and the champion and his opponent
will be ready to enter the ring as
soon as the semi-windup men get
off. Denny Ryan will referee the

HAPP|EST man IN
STATECF ILLINOIS
DECLARES FARMER
After Taking TanIac Eats
Things He Hadn't Touched
in Nine Years.

81 had about given up all hopes
of ever being a well man again, but
since taking a few bottles of Tan
lac l am enjoying as good health as
I. ever did in my life, and have
gained twenty-five pounds in
weight" said Raymond E. Latham,
we'll known farmer who lives at
Mantle, ILL.,, while in Peoria the 9TH
er day.
y ga man never appreciates good
health until he loses it," said Mr..
Latham, sat least, I didn't. Up to
the time my health failed me, about
nine years ago, I didn't know what
it was to be sick. l had a fine ap-
petite all the time, and when we
came in from the corn fields at meal
time, I could eat big, hearty meals
and enjoy them. just>want to say
in this connection that we always
believed in having plenty of the sub
stantial kind of food that keeps
man in condition to do the work on
a farm, and when | reached the
point where l didn't feel like eating
that kind of a meal | knew that
something was wrong. l discovered
a little later that my stomach was in
bad shape, and in short time after
/ ate a little, l would have sour
stomach. Then l would be bloated
up with gas for two or three hours
after every meal. This condition
kept on getting worse until | began
to have attacks OF acute indigestion
and was told that these attacks were
liable to kill me any day. I finally
got so weak and rundown that I
was hardly able to do any work at
all. I would have gladly given every
dollar l possessed to get back my
health, but nothing I did seemed to
help me.
"Nearly every day would read
in the papers about Tanlac, and l
personally knew some of the folks
that were giving these statements,
so l decided to, give Tanlac a trial
myself. Well, sir, in little or no
time l began to want to eat. My ap-
petite came back in full force, and
| was the happiest man in the state
of Illinois when / found my food
was agreeing with me. l was soon
eating just the same things, and as
much of them, as I did nine years
ago before lost my health, and /
have kept it up ever since. l am
in as good health now as l ever was
in my life, and there isn't a man on
my farm that can do more hard
work in a day than l can. / am
never bothered with indigestion or
gas on my stomach, and in fact, l
am entirely free from all my trou-
bles. You couldn't name a price
that / would consider, even for
second, for the good Tanlac has
done for me. ! am we'll and strong
now, and that is just the reason why
/ want to tell the world about Tan
lac and all it has done for me-"
