THREE STEPS
THREE STEPS

Why do people come home from
hospital with bowels working like a
well-regulated watch?
The answer is simple, and it's the
answer to al your bowel worries Il
you viii only realize It: many doctors
and hospitals use liquid laxatives.
If you knew what doctor knows,
you would use only the liquid form.
A liquid can always be taken In
gradually reduced doses. Reduced
dosage is the secret of any real relief
from constipation.
Ask a doctor about this. Ask your
druggist how very popular liquid
laxatives have become. They give the
right kind of help, and right amount
of help. The liquid laxative generally
used is DR.. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin.
It contains SIENNA and cascara - both
natural la1atives that can form no
habit, even in children. So. try Syrup
Pepsin. You just take regulated
doses till Nature restores regularity.

known, fed from the scene Of the trag-
edy and made their way to Rochelle
In a single moment they had been

strict adherence to the principles Of

The Rev. James Fontaine, grandson
Of the aforementioned James, was the

from there TO Cork, Ireland. John Fon-

other states, occupying high positions
in almost every phase Of life. The FAM

Rev. Walker Maury Fontaine was a

BETTING HEAVY ON FIGHT OF VETERANS
McLarnin Is
Early Choice

Daring Canzoneri to Spot
Foe Nine Pounds Tonight;

By United Press
NEW YORK, May 1.-Two of the
rings most valiant warriors of the
past decade will meet in Madison
Square Garden tonight when Jimmy
McLarnin, former welterweight
champion, battles Tony Canzoneri,
lightweight titleholder, in 10-round
nontitle bout.
Between them they have engaged
in 212 battles-McLarnin in "a in IL
years and Canzoneri in 1873 in II

certain to f1uctuate considerably be :
fore they enter the ring although It
is guesswork to say whether they'll
go up or down. Some of McLarnin S
partisans are. laying 1-3 that he
knocks out Tony.
For McLarnin, 1t is the type of
match he dearly loves. He will have
nine-pound pull in the weights,
and face a smaller man who'll come
to him. If it was certain that
McLarnin was in fine condition and
hadn't gone back too far during the
year he was out Of the ring, he'd be
a 10-to-r shot. But McLarnin hasn't
shown up too well in his workouts,
although this may be discounted
somewhat on the score that in his
prime he always looked terrible in
the gym.
Canzoneri has been active since
regaining the title last May in a
match with Lou Ambers, but in his
last four bouts he looked like an old
man even in victory. In several of
his last 10 bouts in the past year
Canzoneri had to take lot of pun
ishment from boys who couldn't
have hit him with birdshot in his
prime.
