Welter Veteran n of l Y Fights, Is Outweighed
 by Soldier Olson

Doc Silvers, who is tackling Sol- dier. Olson in the main bout on the American Legion's Labor Day card next Saturday evening, is veteran of IF battles fought from Texas all the way to the Pacific Coast. And he didn't piC:i the easy ones as he went along.
 Among his opponents stand Billy Lang, high class Tacoma welter, and Georgie Dixon, the Negro flash of the same city; Frankie Burnell, rated as one of Oregon's best men in the welter class; Eddie Roberts, another classy 145-pounder, Otis Butcher, at one time welterweight champion of the Rocky Mountain States, Pug Myers. Idaho battler who is now a headliner in New York, and others of lesser renown.
 He's taken lickings and given them. Just how the score stands, Doc has kind of lost track. He l. .QOtoll | LII dB esDOuJ lllO NiIOOi ASo AAOA try to cover up his defeats. He exhibits a twisted nose and scar red forehead, fruits of his battle with Pug Myers.

 But these men have been real welters. When Doc climbs into the squared circle Saturday night he'll be fighting a man at least 10 pounds heavier, weighing 155 or more pounds. Olson is rugged man for his weight, and he packs TINT in both mitts. He can hit

 "That1l do him a lot of good" said I to Veronica.
 "You haven't overdone it, MT. Grenofen?"
 "Oh, no! Probably five minutes. I'll see you to Standpoint and then watch him off the premises"

 "Oh?" said l; Have I had an introduction to MT. Fred Fother- bury?"
 "Yes. He's been a nuisance in London. He interfered yesterday with-well, he's a rank outsider, anyhow. Thanks awfully, MT. Gren- ofen."
 I parted with Veronica at her gate and strolled back towards the spot where the cub went to earth. A hundred yards from Standpoint I met him walking along the road holding handkerchief to his nose. He passed me without speak ing.
 I turned and followed him past, Seabroke's towards Blackwater, and stood at the bottom of Woodcot Lane till he was out of sight and hearing. With mind full of puzzlement and a sub-conscious sense of pleas ure in the queer little episode, reached home. It was nearly Il o'clock.
 My mother, meeting me in the hall whispered.

WONDER WHAT A BACKBONE
THINKS OF

Oh dear! What abuse I get some
times. Why it's enough to make
me sick. I wish I belonged to
some other person. I'm sure no
one would be as mean to me as
Mary is Ohhhh! Ouch! Please
don't put those shoes on, those
spike heels just make me feel as
though was going to pieces. Mary
is going up town. Just listen to
those ladies remarking how round
shouldered she is and what awful
shoes she wears. just wish they
would give her piece of their
minds, then I'm sure she wouldn't
abuse me. She just makes herself
look like a jelly fish and I try my
best to make her look tall and
straight. Last night .she stayed
out till eleven o'clock and she was
so tired when she got home she
could hardly get to bed.
Then morning came too soon
and her mother called and called
and finally had to come up to see
what was the trouble. Then in
school she lay on her book all day.
I am always so hungry tool just
love milk and eggs but she never
gives me any because she is try
ing to reduce. Today the school
nurse showed her how she should
stand and what kind of shoes she
should wear. She got her started
to drink milk. I just love it. I feel
stronger already. She isn't going
to wear spike heels tomorrow be-
cause they're in the furnace and
she is beginning to walk straight.
My! I would like to tell that
nurse PJw thankful I am"
"Hurrah"! Rah! Rah! for Better
Health Town.

LOU LEARNS A LESSON

Lou was a very stubborn little
girl who didn't mind her parents
at all. Her mother and father al
ways told her to walk with her
stomach in, her chest out, and her
chin in. Lou of course didn't mind
so she didn't do these things. For
about six months she went to
school and sat around the house
slouching. Her teacher told her to
sit straight everyday. When she
was examined by the school nurse
the nurse told her she had terrible
posture. She gave her several ex-
ercises to practice everyday but
she didn't pay any attention to
them at all.
Later Louis parents noticed that
she was terribly round shouldered.
She seemed to be short of breath
and frequently had indigestion.
Lou just slouched around the
house. She didn't take exercises
and run and play with the other
children. Her parents were now
becoming worried about Lou so
they took her to the doctor. The
doctor knew right away when he

friends all wish me to have excel

but help try very hard to fulfill
their wishes.
Every morning I eat hot GER
cal with milk or cream. That's a
help you know even if do not
like milk. At noon I eat creamed
vegetables or custard or some
food containing milk. At supper I
drink cocoa and again eat milk
in some way thus have my milk

possible. When playing I try to
think of my posture. In the eve
ming I again take exercises in the
open air to help me sleep. I open
my window wide and sleep with
out a pillow.
Throughout the day walk with
my head up, and try to touch the
back of my collar. If this tires me
I put a tongue blade under my
chin resting. on a bony hollow in
my head. Every little while I
breathe deeply to aid my lungs.
