IN 1875, an earnest young man
1 began to practice medicine. AS
a family doctor, he treated many
cases Of constipation. He soon
saw the harm in common purges
and began to seek something
better. Out of his experience
was born a famous prescription
now in wide use.
This prescription was written
thousands of times. It proved an
ideal laxative for old and young.
Children like its pleasant taste.
Older people like it because it
doesn't grippe or cause discomfort.
It is a mixture of fresh herbs
and other pure ingredients; r
thoroughly effective for the
most robust of men. Stimu-
lates the normal muscular
action of the bowels. So it's
use will not become q habit.

GIANTS STAGE
COMEBACK IN

BY WILLIAM j. DUNN
UNITED Press staff Correspondent

NEW YORK, June 7. W.H-With
the New York Giants only three
and half games out Of first place
and moving through the opposition
like q Kansas twister through a
toy village, the gloom that hovered
ever the Polo Grounds here for the
first two months of the season has
been dispelled.
The Giants are back in the pen
nant race. OF that there can be TO
argument and unless Cincinnati
and Pittsburgh have more success
than Chicago and st. Louis, they
are very likely to wind up their
western invasion only a step out of
first place.
Two weeks ago the Giants, with
Il record Of 10 victories and 16 de-
feats for a 1886 percentage, looked
10 be going no place in great haste.
This was the state of affairs at
the Polo Grounds when the Boston
Braves came here for four game
series. The rise to their present
position of contenders started with
an II to victory over the Braves,
followed by three more victories,
equally convincing.
Brooklyn came to the Harlem

COL!MA FIGHT
PROVES TO BE
AWFUL FROST

Bert Colima, the idol of Mexican
fight fans, the boxer who always
fills the arena when there is suf-
fieient Mexican population within
= radius of % miles, the man who
has fought over 800 main events
and who has had several unsuccess-
full shots at the middleweight title,
still draws capacity houses but has
fallen TO the point of meeting
punch drunk has beens, poor old !
broken down battlcrs who never
ranked above the preliminary
class.
Last night in the American Lc- !
gion arena at Calexico, Colima
boxed before one of the largest, if
not the largest assemblages ever
gathered together in the border
city arena. He faced one Del Ken /,
nedy, a poor old decrepit hasbeen /!
who couldn't raise his hands, let
alone know what it was all about.
1t reminded one of the matador
and the bull scene with the poor old
papa cow Just about able to wabble
into the arena.
Colima, the idol of the Mexicans,
cut down poor old Kennedy in the
third round, cut him down just as
cruely as his ancestor CorteZ cut
down Aztees of centuries ago. 1t
couldn't possibly have been on the
up and up-it was undoubtedly a j.
frameup.
just how the American Legion !
could stand for an alleged fight |
of that character is beyond under
standing and undoubtedly those
who were instrumental i'll making
the match will hear plenty from
the boxing commission.
The criticism is justified as will
be attested by all fair boxing fans
who saw the bout. 1t undoubtedly !
was disgrace to the manly art of
self defense as well as an insult to
the intelligence of those who paid
good money to witness the program.
While Colima and his Kennedy |
spoiled the show, the rest of the
bouts were interesting and exciting !
although it was apparent they were
arranged to please the major por-
tion of the crowd which consisted |
of Mexicans.
The opener was good old time
slugging match between two boys,
names of which were lost in the |

to large. degree. Louis Rothschild,

menting on the activities Of fake
financial information organizations.
Most of the misleading financial
publications are published by pro.
moters who have large holdings Of
practically worthless stock, !" the busi-
ness director said. These magazines
and bulletins play upon the public
confidence and name several really
good stocks, but among them is the
rider of the worthless stock. 1t is
usually given more space and writ
ten in more flowery language than
the articles extolling the advantages
OF the other stock.
"a number of Washingtonians have
been taken in by these sheets, and
some of them lost quite q bit of
money buying the stock the pro.
moter controls" Rothschild declared.
Rothschild says that his bureau
has been fighting the activities of
these spurious publications for some
time, and adds that ii is the duty OF
every prospective investor to investi.
gate the stock before they place their
finances in 1t.
