vorite in the meagre betting in one
round. Dempsey thought the reterec

address yesterday morning by the
comparisons that he drew with pres-

had announced him winner and actu-ient day court procedure with that of
ally left the ring. But he was called; 100 years ago, and there were sighs
back and the butchery continued for
two rounds more when Jess, sitting holding office in modern times in-
in his corner, with a bewildered look
on his swollen countenance, Xaiiea
to respond to the gong for the fourth
round.
"It was no use to continue," said
the ex-champion. "My strength went
from me in the first round."
He sat there, apparently the most
surprised man in the United States
at the moment. His right eye was
closed and his cheeks swollen with
cuts and bruises. Blood covered his
body and his arms hung so helplessly
on the ropes that it seemed as if a
child might give him further abuse
without arousing his interest.
Dempsey was breathing hard when
the fight ended, but it was from ex
ertion and not from punishment. He
escaped almost unhurt, but as he had
been using his arms like tripham
mers on the anatomy of his opponent
for nine crowded minutes in a sun
that sent the thermometer to 100 de
grees, his heart was still purdping at
high pressure and he appreciated the
breathing spell.
In the first few seconds of the con
test it looked as if the experts who
had been assigned to keep detailed ac
count of the blows struck might come
measurably close to doing so, but it
was only for a fraction of a moment.
After that the experts did well to
count Jack's blows, let alone take note

hanging helplessly on the ropes or
draped over his own shoulders most
of the time when h was not taking
advantage of the count.
The crowd thought the fight was
over in that round. Willard was
down for the fifth time and the count
of evident relief that the clerks w re
stead of the "good old days" when
there were 30 ways of drawing an in
dictment and a lawyer had to guess
at the right one, all of which invoked
the clerks in endless intricate work in
"keeping the records straight.
Instance after instance was cited
of coures in this State where palpa
bly guilty prisoners were let go be
cause of a defect in the drawing of
the indictment. In one case the mur
dered man was stabbed in his breast
and since the spelling of that portion
of his anatomy was made t0 read
"brest" the defendant was let go.
'Another was let 0it because the in
dictment said that the crime was
committed in the 26th year of Ameri
can independence when it should
have said the 8th year.
High tribute was paid the legal pro
fession in America for the part it has
played in bringing reforms in Amer
ican jurisprudence and to the clreks
of the court, whose assistance has
been invaluable. He asserted ;that
the lawyers were conservative and m
the midst of their conservatism there
was no room for bolshevism to flour
ish and grow strong. He pointed to
the fact tha when a man was indic

sufficient to set forth the alleged
crime in place of the forty pages that
were once the minimum of criminal

There's rio reason why a person
should take sickening, salivating cal
omel when a few cents buys a large
bottle of Dodson's Liver Tone a
perfect substitute for calomel.
It is a pleasant, vegetable liquid
which will start your liver just as
surely as calomel, but it doesn't
make you sick and can not salivate.
Children and grown folks can take
Dodson's Liver Tone, because it is
perfectly harmless.
Calomel is a dangerous drug. It
is mercury and attacks your bones.
Take a dose of nasty calomel today
and you will feel weak, sick and
nauseated tomorrow. Don't lose a
day's work. Take a spoonful of
Dodson's Liver Tone instead and
you will wake up feeling great. No;
more hiliousness, constipation, slag-1
gishnrss, headache, coated tongue or J
sour stomach. Your druggist savs if j
you don t, find Dodson'3 Liver Tone
acts better than horrible calomel

TOMORROW NEVER COB
because every day is today.. .That is why one who would wait on til
tomorrow to save, never start.. Tiday is TOUR DAT. Come it
and open that account you were going to start tomorrow.
REMEMBER tomorrow never comes.

Former German Emperor Will be
Taken to England and Imprisoned
in Tower of London, Says Daily
MaiL
William Hohenzollern, former Ger
man emperor, will be brought to Eng
land in a British ship and imprisoned
in the Tower of London, according to
The London Daily Mail.
The death penalty will not be
sought, the newspaper points out, but
if he is found guilty the allies ask his
banishment for life to a remote is
land, following the precedent of Napo
leon's exile on St. Helena.
The international trial court had
intended to try the former emperor
alone, The Daily Mail says, but it is
possible that former crown prince,
Frederick William, will also be ar
raigned before it.
