After this fight is over the heavy

The public may clamor for some
body else to meet Dempsey besides
the Frenchman.
Both Stayers
Brennan and Martin are stayers

Brennan has stayed longer with

Martin has stayed away from
Dempsey longer than anybody else.
Bill has boxed all the top notch

setups.

the A. E. F. championship belt. the
fans wanted to e him go.
The man who had licked 'em all

said.
Smart Manager
But Bob had a smart little fellow
looking after his ring business.
The little fellow was Jimmy Bron-
son.
"Wait until I get the army champ
going good" said Bronson.
So that's what he's been doing
getting Bob to going.
He kept his fighter passing easy
marks for the count of ten. For
months Bob has kayoed on an aver
age of n setup per week.
A short time ago Martin IA sent
to the Blue Ridge mountains of
Virginia to take a rest cure Bron-
son announced that Bob had gone
stale.
Bob INFESTED
Maybe Bob wasn't 80 stale as was
claimed.
Bronson was planning to step the
army champ out into faster society.
He needed a rest to get ready. for his
big test.
Brennan is a tough bird. Even
Dempsey admits 1t.
Martin-how good il he? His
ability can't be estimated until he
meets an honest-to-goodness bruiser.
Tex Sits pretty
If Martin can kayo Brennan quick
err than Dempsey did. then there'd
be no logical reason to trouble the
Frenchman for another trip to
America.
The public would demand that
Martin take a crack at Dempsey's
title.

Il was almost desperate from
worrying over her condition, as she
had suffered so long without get
ting relief and l can hardly be-
ieve my eyes now when see the
change in her. Why, she doesn't
show her age by twenty years and
declares she never remembers feel
ing better in her life. Her health
was failing steadily for a year as
a result of catarrh of the stomach.
and have never seen anybody suf-
fer as much from indigestion and
nervousness as she did
After a five weeks course of
Tanlac she was like another person,
and I'm firmly convinced that years
have been added to her life. 1t
makes me shUdder now when 1
think what the results might have
been if she hadn't taken Tanlac in
time"
