By Women; Men
+. See Dempsey

JERSEY CITY, July s.--when
the fight ended yesterday and
Carpenters insensate form was
dragged to his corner, the wcmen's
eyes were all on him. The men
were aH-almost without excep-
ion-paying all their attention to
the champion, who had just dem
onstrated that he is still king Of
the fstic realm.
The women, apparently, cared
little about that. Their interest
was in the fallen hero-the
Frenchman, who had come across
the seas to try for the golden
crown of champion Of the world.
As Carpenter made his way to
his dressing room scores of wom-
en- crowded to the aisles TO pat
him on the back. BE replied with
a wan, wistful sort of smile to
their expressions OF, cheer. II try

ing.
81. The presence OF the women In
such large numbers probably was
responsible for the fact that the
crowd, despite its great, size, was
the most orderly ever seen at a
fistic event In this country There
were no brawls in the audience
and there was very little open
betting. ~ s

In the nrst round II looked about
even. Second round Carpenter had
Dempsey groggy without any dues-
zion of n doubt. from right-hand
pnches to the Jaw and IL looked
like Dempsey was a licked man.
LOSES ALL POWER. -
After that Carpenter got tired
and could not stand the strain OF
roughlng It with Dempsey From
that time on It was all Dempsey.
# was just Question OF how long
Carpenter could so. He had lost
all HIS power. ~.
All the reports about Dempsey not
being in condition proved positively
false. The champion showed that he
was a champion. He came back
strong after being eroggy In the
second round. He went through. the
storm and came out OF, It very
gracefully
when Dempsey is right 1t would
take SOME MAN 70, beat him. His
short punches were terrific and he
proved that he Is game and cool
under fire. ~
Although he had a close call to-
day. especially IL Carpenter had
been a little bit heavier. and could
have kept MP the pace he started in
the second round. you would have
seen some fight. although as II was,

MEAT INJURIOUS
 TO THE KIDNEYS
Take a tablespoonful of Salts if Back hurts or
 Bladder bothers

We are a nation of meat eaters and our blood Is filled with uric acid, says a well-known authority, who warns us to be constantly on guard against kidney trouble.
 The kidneys do their utmost to free the blood of this Irritating acid, but become weak from the overwork; they get sluggish; the eliminattve tis- sues clog and thus the waste Is re- tained in the blood to poison the en- tire system.
 When your kidneys ache and feel like Jumps of lead, and you have stfnging pains in the back or the urine Is cloudy, full of sediment, or the bladder is irritable, obliging you to seek relief during the night; when you have severe headaches, nervous and dizzy spells. sleeplessness. acid stomach or rheumatism in bad weather. get from your pharmacist about four ounces of lad Salts; take a tablespoonful i'm a glass of water before breakfast each morning and in a few days your kidneys will act fine. This famous salts is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice. combined with lithia, and has been used for generations to flush and stimulate clogged kidneys. to neutra- lize the acids in urine so it is no longer a source of irritation. thus ending urinary and bladder dis orders.

NEW INSTRUMENT MEASURES SHOCK

Washington, Nov 11.-A new in strument which it Is believed will do away with uncertainty in designing and building bridges has been devis- ed by the Bureau of Public Roads of the Department of Agriculture. The instrument measures with scientific precision every shock and blow de- livered by moving vehicles in cross ling a bridge. 7 The device, which can be attached to any part of the bridge structure, makes photographic record of the effect of the moving load. The amount of stretching or shortening due to shock is represented by a fine black line on the photograph. No blow or shock can be delivered so quickly that the instrument will not record it.
 As engineers heret etofore have been una b1e to measure the effect of quick ly delivered impacts or to proportion the various parts of a bridge with absolute assurance, it has been neces- ssary to make a liberal allowance for shis unknown quantity. In some cases the allowance has not been suf- fcient and bridges have collapsed un- der moving loads.
 Recent experiments with motor trucks have shown, 1t Is said at the tbureau, that a swiftly moving truck may strike a blow equivalent to seven times its actual weight.
