and so convincing his arguments that
he finally prevailed on the department
to suspend the order and give time
for an investigation. This was done.
1t is expected that the inspectors
will at once make a thorough investi-

depend altogether upon the report
that they make. The star service

WILL USE SPEED
Carpenter Plans for Fast Bat
tie on July end.
Challenger Fit Already Cuts
Down Training Program.

Manhasset, N. Y, May 24.-Devel-
opment of speed and cunning will be
chief factors sought for in the train
ing of Georges Carpenter for he relies
mainly upon these two points to bring
him victory over the champion Jack
Dempsey on July 2. Carpenter is in
better condition ana is tougher than
ever before in his career and when
he started actual training yesterday he
weighed 172H pounds, or just one
half pound more than he will weigh
when he enters the Jersey City arena.
GeSticulating as tho he were trying
to sell the Eiffel tower to gullible
American tourist, Monsieur Descamps,
the FrenchmanS manager, announced
in fifty fifty American and French
that Georges was in good form enough
to defeat a flock of Dempseys.
The smiling blond boxer works
easy and with a speed that daZzles.
To some he gives the impression that
he is in reality the small boy after the
giants scalp but when Georges works
the boyishness disappears and the seri-
BUSINESS of a man who really wants
something enters. Georges has a stiff
right jab that works fast and carries
drop. He is at all times on his toes,
working a punch from both sides. His
uppercut is well executed and his re-
covery perfect. In yesterdays half
hour workout he gave the impression
that he is all Descamps claims for him
in the way of being fit.
DeScamps thinks too much training
would do more harm than good. Con-
sequently the French boxer will in
reality rest every other day taking, of
course, light exercises each morning
and perhaps some road work.
Tomorrow he will box with two
sparring partners, in keeping with the
edict of Descamps and Trainer Gustav
Wilson. He will work with Jaul Jour
nee, the French heavyweight. and
with Marco, a lighter man. These two
will alternate with Joe Jeanette and
Italian Joe Cans. who has arrived at
the camp, so that Carpenter will meet
only one heavy man on each boxing
day. This order of training will con-
tinue until the end of the month.

this fall.
The judging pavilions have long
been sorely needed. The Topeka fair
stands second to none in the middle
west in the magnitude of its livestock
exhibits and the number of these ex-
hibits increases yearly. Hitherto the
judging has been conducted in tents.
Use Same Style Architecture.
The horse and cattle judging pa
vilion will be 102x62 feet. The style
Of architecture and the stucco finish
will make it in harmony with the
other new buildings on the grounds.
1t will be provided with modern judg-
ing rings and with seats for the ac-
commodation of spectators
On the other side of the grounds,
east of the long row of swine barns,
the two sheep and hog judging pa
vilions will be erected. Each will be
34x72 feet and each will contain
twelve judging pens and a judging
arena IS feet wide and the length of
the building. Provision will be made
for spectators here also. The large
number of breeds and classes of hogs
and the numerous futurities necessi-
tate a great amount of work on the
part of the judges. 1t was decided to
build two pavilions here in order
that one or the other would be con-
venient to the barns and so that two
breeds can be judged simultaneously.

MRS. P. ATWELL
Has Gained Thirty Pounds in
Weight.
Feels Fine Since Taking Tanlac,
She Says.

when I started taking Tanlac I
only weighed ninety-five pounds, but
the medicine has actually built me up
to one hundred and twenty-five
pounds and made me feel like a new
woman" was the remarkable state
ment made the other day by Mrs.
Pearl Atwell, of 1913 Washington St,
Kansas City, Mo.
My stomach was so disordered that
everything seemed to disagree with
me. After every meal my food would
sour, and I suffered terribly from in
digestion and bloating My heart
palpitated so frightfully at times it
alarmed me, and 1 often became so
dizzy 1 could hardly stay on my feet.
My head ached terribly, and was so
nervous and restless I could scarcely
sleep at night. 1 finally got so weak
and rundown I couldn't attend to my
work, and 1 simply felt miserable.
sgs'Tanlac was recommended to me
so highly by several of my friends
who had taken it, that I decided to
try it myself, and the very first bottle
helped me wonderfully. Eight bottles
have ended my troubles and built me
up to my full health and strength,
and I can work all day now without
getting tired out. Everything agrees
with me perfectly, I never have an
ache or pain, and feel fine in every
way. I'm just in splendid health, and
wouldn't. be without Tanlac in the
house. Il will be glad to verify this
statement for anyone. ADV.
