There Is nothing new under the sun but men are discovering more to mitigate the agonies and mul tiply the joya of living. Old fos sils of the pugs of yesterday will boast that Dempsey. Tunney and Louis cannot compare in bruising ability to the fghters of their day. Barring Sullivan. Fitzsimmons. Johnson. Langford and perhaps 2 or 3 more unpublicized, the old line heavyweights were third raters or press agents products. Jeffries the biggest Roman of them all never packed a sleeping punch He began his career by mauling old Peter Jackson to the ground who was on his way to Australia to die of T. B. Old Peter was yellow streaked. In a fight with Kincaid an awk ward sooty miner, someone gave a Simon Legree yelp and Jackson “paycheked" reference H|o Louis Paychek fight—to the end of the fight. Once Jeffries was match-* ed with Gus liuhlln. Gus walked In the ring moon-eyed, sduaked like a Comanche, Jumped ovei* the ropes and ran like a deer. It was a make believe play but it added to the laurels of the undefeated champion of the world," in the eyes of the humbuggy public. Jack Johnson bridged the chasm between yesterday’s —, oh j well Jaek London had a name for j them, and today’s million dollar j muscles. Jack Johnson had the | punch and boxing ability, an ed ucation alMive the ordinary but a very low I. Q., but he embarras sed America and men of color, drooped their heads In shame. It is not the innate inherit qual itit's of the present crop that out strips the maulers of yesterday but, the beseficent pdovisions of a higher civilization. The effic iency of an individual or a group is determined by behavior stand ards in conformity with the prin cipals callel good morals. The church Is the guardian of morals but as a whole have not yet come up to her sublime calling. Strange to say, she waits on the voice of th epeople and has done So since the days of the Apostle Paul, who was a great lime server. Science and Philosophy are building a new religion mope like the mind that was In Christ Jesus. Time was that sin was remitted by ap peasing God through pentitence, prayer and preachment, and where sin involved the statutes, H was permissable If you kept within sight of legal loop-holes. Now we are learning that sin is defacing and despoiling His hand iwork. To Properly provide for Ind protect the body by religious ly following the laws of its mech anism we become the abiding piale of Hja Spirit.

Vegetable Laxative Has Important Points Most people want a laxative to do three things: (1) act punctually (2) act thoroughly, (3) act gently. Here’s one that usually fills all three riquirements when the easy directions are followed. It’s an an all-vegetable product whose princi pal ingredient has medical recogni tion as an “intestinal tonic-laxa tive." That’s the ingredient which en ables BLACK-DRAUGHT to help tone lazy bowel muscles. It is the main reason for the satisfying re lief from constipation that gener all follows next morning when BLACK-DRAUGHT is taken at bedtime. The millions of packages used are proof of its merit. * JOHNSON DRUG CO.

Sver since the first breath of spring has been In the air, I have been receiving letters asking how to have a clear smooth skin for spring and summer. What few of you seem to realize Is that a beautiful skin starts from within. You must get yourselves in good physical condi tion if you hope to glow with youth and beauty and springtime fresh ness. Get More Sleep and Exercise The first step in getting ready for ■prlug and summer is to work out a balanced routine of sleep, exer cise and diet. If you have been burning the candle at both ends, yon are probably paying for it now with dull, lusterless eyes and sallow skin. Remember that eight hours’ sleep every night Is more effective than any beauty treatment. And if you have difficulty getting to sleep early, the solution is right at hand. You probably need more outdoor exercise that will 'eave you pleas antly relaxed and healthfully tired at the end of the day. a brisk walk, sav to and from work, or, If you are a lady of leisure, the early part of these sunny afternoons, is one of the best forms of exercise, for all around reconditioning.
