Appetite

Years ago when Pete Herman was
shining shoes in New Orleans. he
dined on red beans and rice three
times a day.
Since he has become the bantam
king, he still clings to his favored
food. Even at banquets, which are
pretty swell so far as tangled eats
go, Herman insists on the red beans
and rice, with plenty of pepper.
Many a boxer has been forced to
come to this diet when business got
dull.
But Herman passed that class a
long, long time ago.

An Exception
Tony Boeckel, third baseman of
the rampaging Boston Braves, W
had a baseball in his hands until he
was nineteen.
He got in a game as a substitute
one day and broke it up with his
bat. since then he has developed
into a star.
Most kids graduate out of the
nursery with a rubber ball in their
hands and keep right on up the
scale of school and college baseball.
Tony b., as a ball player, was
born, not made.

Says His Prescription
Has Powerful Influence
Over Rheumatism

Mr.. James H. Allen suffered for years
with rheumatism. Many times this ter
rible disease left him helpless and unable
to work.
He finally decided after years of cease
less study. that no one can be free from
rheumatism until the accumulated impuri-
ties, commonly called uric acid deposits,
were dissolved in the Joints aud muscles
and expelled from the body.
With this idea in mind he consulted
physicians, made experiments and finally
compounded a prescription that quickly
and completely banished every sign and
symptom of rheumatism from his system.
He freely gave his discovery to others
who took it, with what might be called
marvellous success. After years of urging
he decided to let sufferers everywhere
know about his discovery thru the news
papers. TulIy- Mcfarland Drug Co., S35 and
T29 Kansas Ave, has been appointed
agents for Allenrhu in this vicinity with
the understanding that they will freely re-
turn the purchase money on the first two
bottles to all who state they received no
