this clusa are crying for the abolish

right now more fish and game in the

BY HAL SHERIDAN
(Written for the United Press)
New York, Dec. 30. Battling Le
vinsky' is hot on the trail of , Jess
Willard, if you'll take it from Dan
Morgan. The latter is the busy letter-writing
manager of the battling
one and he is gitating for a match.
Danny has issued, a "Green Paper,"
compatible with the vari-colored pap
ers of the European countries, in
which the literary manager gets the
following off Mb mindl:
"Jess Willard to fight Jack John
son." It sounds like a joke after
Gunboat Smith outpointing him' in
twenty rounds and Bearcat McMahon
whipping him. at Youngstown, Ohio,
a short time ago. Battling Levinsky
has been trying to get Willard into a
ring witihi him for the past year, but,
up to date Big Jess refuses to box
the Battler. Levinsky has whipped
every heavyweight including Gunboat
Smith and Bearcat McMahon and is
ready to box Jess Willard undtsr any
conditions. Levinsky thinks Willard
is like a wooden Indian that cannot
box. and is so slow that he is in his
own way. "Now, if the promoters of
Jess Willard will sign up for Levinsky
the public will not be bothered with
any more press stuff regarding Wil
lard to box Johnson, since Levinsky j
will wnip htm without any trouble
and convince the sporting world! that
Big Jess is a huge joke."

These victories save young Ryan

Some of tbe followers of the ring

Beware of Cheap Substitutes.
In these davs of keen competition
it is important that the public should
see that they get Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy and not take substitutes sot.l

test and been approved for more

How to Prevent Croup.
It may be a surprise to you to learn
that in many cases croup can be pre
vented. Mrs. H. M. Johns, Elida,
Ohio, relates her experience as fol
lows: "My little boy is subject to
croup. During the past winter I kept
a bottle of Chamberlain's Cough Rem.
edy in the house, and when he beean
having that croupy cough I would
give him oneor two doses of it and it
would break the attack. I like it bet
ter for children than any other cougt
medicine because children take it wil
llngiy, and it is safe and reliable."
Obtainable everywhere.

When you first catch a Cold (often
indicated toy a sneeze or cough),
break it up at once. The idea that
"It does not matter" often leadB to
serious complications. The remedy
which immediately and easily pene
trates the lining of the throat is the
kind demanded. Dr. King's New Dis
covery soothes the irritation, loosens
the phlegm. You feel better at once.
"It seemed to reach the very spot of
my Cough" is one of many honest tes
timonials. 50c at your Druggist.
