Mr.. James II. Allen suffered for
years with rheumatism. Many times
this terrible disease left him help
less and unable to work.
He finally decided, after years of
ceaseless study, that no one can be
free from rheumatism until the ac-
cumulated impurities, commonly
called uric acid deposits, were dis
solved in the joints and muscles and
expelled from the body.
With this idea in mind he consult
ed physicians, made experiments and
finally compounded 9 prescription

over-zealousness they expect him to
knock any opponent kicking in a
round or two and when some fortu-
nate happens to stay the distance

Leonard fought one of his greatest
fights recently against Rocky Kan
sas. After getting away to bad
start, he showed his class as a real
champion by winning a decisive deci-
sion.
The fans, however. growled-"He
didn't knock I'M out. He's going
back"
They didn't stop to consider that
Kansas never has been knocked out;
that he has ribs of steel and a Jaw
of iron; that he is so awkward he
has clever fighting style and he
is one of the most dangerous light
weights in the ring.
They figured only that Leonard is
one of the greatest lightweights of
all time and that he didn't knock his
man out
Early in the bout, the champion
looked bad. He missed frequently.
his footwork was not up to standard
and above all--his hair got mussed
and his face was smeared with Grim
son. But he had the class, that quail
ity which characterizes the great in
any profusion-the ability to rise up
and strike back when it looks dark
and things are going bad.
1t is only an exaction of nature
that Leonard might be going back a
little. He is still young man, but
he has been In the ring a long time
and he may have reached his prime.
Perhaps he never will be any better
than he is now but there is no
reason to believe that he will slip !,

and worthy Of his title.

War Diary Tells Of George
Washington as a Leader

BLOOMINGTON, lll.-A little, well
worn diary, almost faded out in places,
still tells the real story of the love Of
George Washington's men for their
commander-in-chief during the Revolu.
tionary war.
This war history, kept up day by
day during the seven-year battle, by
later under the direct command Of
Washington-now belongs to his
daughter, Mrs. Josephine Wodetzky. Of
Logan county. Illinois.

Mrs WodetZky Is a real Daughter
Of the American Revolution. She has
just celebrated her Gard birthday, and
she vaguely recalls some Of the stories
about Washington that her father told
her when she was a little girl.
Shortly after being accepted as a
drummer" she said my father was
transferred to the command Of General
Price. In those days there were no
reserves and every man available for
duty was at the front practically al!

my father told me that most of his
service was with the army Of which
George Washington was the direct
commander and that he was thus able
to get a direct line on the great heart
of Washington. and the compassion
for his soldiers.
Loved Their Leader.
"'Ali these soldiers father said,
were always ready to endure any
hardship if Washington said the word.
The patriotic colonists loved their
leader to a point almost approaching
idolatry.'

to serve as orderly for Washington
