SALTS F BACKACHY
 AND KIDNEYS HURT
Drink lots of water and stop eating meat for while if your Bladder
 troubles you

When you wake up with backache and dull misery in the kidney region it gen erally means you have been eating too much meat, says a well-known authority. Meat forms uric acid which overworks the kidneys in their effort to filter it from the blood and they become sort of paralyzed and loggy. When your kidneys get sluggish and clog you must relieve them, like you relieve your bowels; re- moving all the body's urinous waste, else you have backache, sick headache, dizzy spells; your stomach sours, tongue is coated, and when the weather is bad you have rheumatic twinges. The urine is cloudy, full of sediment, channels often get sore, water scalds and you are obliged to seek relief two or three times during the night.
 Either consult a good, reliable physi- elan at once or get from your pharmacist about four ounces of lad Salts; take . tablespoonful in a glass of water before breakfast for few days and your kidneys will then act fine. This famous salts is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined with ithia, and has been used for generations to clean and stimulate sluggish kidneys, also to neutralize acids in the urine 80 it no longer irritates, thus ending bladder weakness.
 lad Salts is life saver for regular meat eaters. It is inexpensive, cannot injure and makes delightful, effer- vescent Whitewater drink.

Battle
the long legged

Tracy Ferguson, the long legged
middleweight, who has to claim the
sleepy burg of Wallingford as his eat
ing place. won the decision over Vince
Coffey Of Kingston, N. Y. last night
in the star bout of four rounds be-
fore crowd that occupied just about
half of the Armory A. A.
Coffey, who has been winning con-
sistently during the past three
months, put UP somewhat of a tame
bout against the Connecticut lad. The
last appearance of Coffey here against
Mike McCabe at the Armory showed
that he was a hard hitter and with a
smattering of cleverness, but last
night not two solid punches was land
ed by the New Yorker = in fact
neither boy landed any kind of a. blow
that carried anywhere near PTS.
Ferguson won his bout by his long
reach and his ability to keep on top
Of the New Yorker with left jabs.
Tommy Shea of this city didn't do
very good considering the boy he was
up against. Joe Hall, who doesn't
possess half the knowledge or the ex-
perience that Shea has, still he looked
like an amateur trying to put over a
punch that would bring Hall down
after he had slowed him up with hard
Iefts to the jaw.
Shea won the decision at the end
Of the fourth but just before the final
gong rang the shedding got pretty
hard for him when Hall, who hao
been on the receiving end most of the
| time, opened up in the latter part o.
| the round, swinging both arms trying
| to land one solid punch that woule
make up for all the points that Shea
had scored. Shea was tired from the
pace he had to carry over the shor
distance and Hall managed to get il
some hard punches to the jaw tina
kept Shea holding. Shea is a lef
handed fighter and it made it prett!

BROWN ROOKIE:
DEFEATS YANKEES

The St Louis Browns, without a

sawed-off left-handed pitcher named
Bill Bayne of Tulsa, Okla. on the
Yanks at the Polo Grounds yester-
day, and Huggins' lads went through
the whole afternoon without smash
ing any kind of record. ST. Louis won
the game, 5 to 2, which gave them
three games out of five for the series.
The Yanks didn't get hit off Bayne
until the seventh inning, when Pratt
started a rally which brought New
Y ork two runs. But after that \Bayne
refused to be separated from another
run. A large number of expectant
fans, about 49, coo of them. gathered to
see whether Babe Ruth would make a
new home run record by pounding out
his thirtieth home run. The crowd
was out of luck, because Babes most

seems that the manager of Young
Hall is showing poor judgment by
sending him up against opponents
who have been boxing for years and
the Hall only been knocking around
the ring not quite year. Hall is
hard puncher and as game a chap
as ever stepped in the ring, taking all
kinds of punishment without drawing
back a step, always trying to land
that hard right of his. but if he is
going to be made a punching bag for
more experienced men it will not be

REMEMBERS WILSON'S
FIGHT WITH JOHN l.

There weren't many who could
make John L. look like novice re-
marked the old time sport fan, when
Sullivan was at his best. but
that IS what Tug Wilson, an Eng
lishman did thirty eight years ago to-
day. The fight took place in New
York and Sullivan, who had just won
the worlds championship by beating
Paddy Ryan, was so confident of his
fighting ability that he agreed to
knock the Britisher out in four
rounds.
Wilson was much smaller and
lighter than John L., but also was
much more clever and succeeded in
evading Sullivan's piledriver swings
for the entire four rounds, while he
pepered away at the big heavyweight
in grand style. John L. hardly look
ed the champ he was in this bout.
Sullivan never did show up well
against small, clever boxers as he did
against the sluggers of his own type
Pit a big, ton of humanity against
John L. and the Irishman would
walIow in his gore in short order. A
clever little fellow, on the other hand
could frequently make him look like
