This Is Better
 Than Laxatives
One NR Tablet Each Night For q Week Will Correct Your Constipation and Make Constant Dosing unneees-
 sary. Try 1t.

Poor digestion and assimilation mean a poorly nourished body and low vitality. Poor elimination means clogged bowels, fermentation, putri- faction and the formation of poisonous gases which are absorbed by the blood and carried through the body.
 The result is weakness, headaches, dizziness, coated tongue, inactive liver, bilious attacks, loss of energy, nerv- ollsneSs, poor appetite, impoverished blood, sallow complexion, pimples, skin disease, and often times serious ill., ness.
 Ordinary laxatives, purges and ca- thartics-sa1ts, oils, calomel and the like-may relieve for a. few hours, but real, lasting benefit can only come through use of medicine that tones up and strengthens the digestive as well as the eliminative organs.
 Get a. 25c box of Nature Remedy (NR Tablets) and take one tablet each night for 8 week. Relief will follow the very first dose, but a few days will elapse before you feel and realize the fullest benefit. When you get straightened out and feel just right again you need not take medicine every day-an occasional NR. Tablet will then keep your system in good condition and you will always feel your best. Remember, keeping we'll is easier and cheaper than getting we'll
 Natures Remedy (NR Tablets) are sold guaranteed and recommended by your druggist

HEA VYWEIGH7S PUT ON ALL SPEED AS THE
 TIME FOR BOUT WEARS
Jack Increases His Boxing to Eight Full Three
 Minute Rounds

Atlantic City. x. J., June S0.-Jack Dempsey increased his boxing to eight full three-minute rounds today for the first time since he started training, taking on four heavy spar ring partners Tor two sessions each with only a rest of 90 seconds be- tween rounds.
 Dempsey evidently had read what the boxing experts had written con corning his workout Sunday. which was regarded as slow. because he set a warm pace for the quartet that faced him. upsetting the rugged and experienced Larry Williams for the first time since the big blonde heavy weight joined the camp. Eddie 0'Hsre, who gave the champion con siderable bother yesterday, repeat edly feinted for openings, but Demp- sey kept on top of the fast moving New York middleweight. and did not give him an opportunity to get set. O'Hare failed with his one-two punch, with which he managed to nail Dempsey yesterday.
 GHEE IS CAUTIOUS
 In rapid succession Dempsey boxed O'Hare, Battling Ghee, Williams, and Jack Renault in the order named Ghee, who was on the floor three times and had to be knocked loose when he faced Dempsey for the first time last Friday, evidently had lost some of his ambition when he crawled through the ropes this afternoon,
 He was on the defensive from the start, and took three steps backward for every one forward. Once the champion crowded the Memphis ne- gro into a corner and all but knocked him flat with a punch on the back of the neck Dempsey was in fight Ing mood after he had chased Ghee around the ring for two rounds, and when Williams got into the ring the champion tried to upset him. Will Hams, until today, has managed to keep his feet and give Dempsey the best workouts. but he ran into tor nado of hooks and was sent sprawl ing into the ropes with right hook in the second round. Dempsey stag gered him with a left and then crashed over right that dropped him to sitting position.
 Referee Situation
 The referee situation still is unset tied. Jack. Kearns, manager Of the champion, plans to leave for New York tomorrow for conference with Tex Rickard, the promoter of the Jersey City contest, in an effort to clear up the situation. Kearns is op- posed to the action of the New Jersey boxing commission in it's desire to name the referee.
