Summer Complaints in Children
There is not anything like so
many deaths from this disease
now as before Chamberlain's
Collie and Diarrhoea Remedy
came into such general use.
When this remedy is given with
castor oil as directed and proper
care is taken as to diet, it is safe
to say that fully ninety-nine out
of every hundred cases recover.

How Sandwich Was Named.

Many people who during the
noon hour invade the lunch
rooms to grab a quick lunch,
which mostly consists of a few
sandwiches as a slater, never
stop to think how the sandwich
first became a quick lunch food.
Research discloses that the
fourth Earl of Sandwich, the o.
originator of the noon hour bite,
was born Nov. 3, 1718, over pol
years ago. This Earl, like most
of the English nobility of his
time, was a devotee to games of
chance. When the stakes ran
high the Earl was unable to tear
himself away, and it was his
custom to order the servants to
bring him slices of bread and
ham. Other devotees of the god
dess of chance followed his ex-
ample and soon after affixed the
name sandwich to the combi-
nation of bread and meat which
the hustle and hustle of modern
times have given a wide popu-
larity.-Ex.

Loss of Appetite.

AS a general rule there is
nothing serious about a loss of
appetite, and if you skip a meal
or only eat two meals a day for
a few days you will soon have a
relish for your meals when meal
time comes. Bear in mind that
at least five hours should always
elapse between meals so as to
give the food ample time to di-
gest and the stomach a period of
rest before a second meal is tax
en-. Then if you eat no more than
you crave and take a reasonable
amount of outdoor exercise ev-
cry day you will not need to wor-
ry about your appetite. When
the loss of appetite is caused by
constipation as is often the case,
that should be corrected at once.
A dose of C~hamberlain's Tab
lets will do it. Adv.

ACTION EXPECTED.

Unless the dope is worth less than n
dime hogshead this flyweight attrac-
ton should prove to be one of the dand-
lest of the year with punch for every
second. And it may furnish some am
swer to the successor to Pal Moore as
a local favorite, when the proper time
arrives. Moore is not slipping by any
means but sooner or later Doc Time
steps in to collect his well-known toll
and when the old man is ready one of
these kids should be at the door pre-
pared to step in.
Like Moore, Dempsey and Sanders are
strictly home products of the Madein-
Memphis variety. Both are youngsters
in the sport with a world Of promise
in their systems and a disposition to
succeed.
Sanders believes he can outpunch any
man of his weight in the game, and
being a Sanders he is not to be out
gained More than that he figures that
by operating a steady fire on Demp-
seys diner he will certainly batter
down that lad into submission, Young
Jacks pantry then will be the target
for Tommys volleys. He will have all
sights adjusted and all ammunition
primed for the big night. The zero hour
will be around $3.50 p. m.

DEMPSEY is CLEVER.

Dempsey has developed as fast as
any lad that ever started in Memphis.
From a clnging vine he has raced
forward until he is now to be considered
as a dangerous contender in the lower
bracket of near bantams in Dixie. He
isn't ready for the upper fry for he is
green and unseasoned but he has
shown the proper stuff and is moving
in the desired direction,
Young Jack has speed, kick, ability
and toughness at his command. plus a
fine heart. His toughest opposition to
date was furnished by Jimmy Curtis,
but despite the fact that he was on
the wrong side Of the betting and was
being sent against a veteran entry he
tied this bloke into series Of knots
and punched him into second place. Al
no time was he in danger and at no
time did Curtis have anything resem-
bling a chance.
Meanwhile he has built up a fine
following and should be heavily sup
ported when he tackles Sanders. Much
rivaly exists in the two camps, and
regardless Of the outcome the contest
should be a corkcr all the way.
