THE GOOD WORK
STILL KEEPS UP
Every day brings tiie one good report
of “I am feeling better every day.”
The day has come when the people
of Atlanta who have been suffering
from rheumatism, catarrh, kidney, liver,
stomach or blood trouble do realize
that there is a cure for them. The
Health Teacher has given you daily the
names and addresses of people who
have been using the Quaker Herb Ex
tract and Oil of Balm, and are either
cured or greatly benefited. Now. when
you read daily about your neighbors
and friends who repeat the great good
they have received, how can you still
THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS. MONDAY. DECEMBER 2. 1912.
Law Has Johnson Bound, While Jeannette and Lanford Leave Country
GREAT CHANCE NOW FOR WHITE HEAVYWEIGHT
By Left Hook.
lE' Joe Jeannette goes to Australia
in Jack Johnson's place, as he
has contracted to do, rather a
unique situation will present itself.
All the colored heavyweights will
be piled up in one side of the Pa
cific ocean—with the exception of
, Johnson, and the law has the In
dian sign on him—and all the white
hopes on the other side of the pond.
And that, possibly, can truly be
regarded as an unmixed blessing.
With no dark shadows falling
athwart them, It will be a fine time
for the pale-face stalwarts to get
together and determine who is who.
For that matter, the initial move in
the weeding out process has al
ready been made, for Jim Flynn and
Luther McCarty are to face each
other at Los Angeles on Decem
ber 10.
The pity of it is that Al Palzer.
who, it was thought, was being
held in reserve for the winner,
should have injured his reputa
tion through a wretched perform
ance with Tony Ross.
Everybody thou,,nt so well of
Palzer. He. wasn't looked upon as
a clever exponent of the manly
art, but he was accredited with
natural fighting' talents and the
qualities of strength, pluck and en
durance calculated to compensate
for his lack of know ledge of tech
nique.
Now that Palzer had been hum
bled by Ross, whose leading record
is nearly as extended as that of
Tony' Capont, we don't know what
to think.
Palzer Must Come Back.
It may be that Palzer will claim
it was an "off-night” with hint
when he did so poorly with Ross
in Philadelphia. Being a promi
nent pugilist, explaining reverses is
thoroughly within his province, but
if he acts wisely he will undergo
a spell of training and demand an
other match with Ross.
It is the only safe method of
vindication, and unless Palzer
adopts it and turns the tables on
Ross he will remain under a cloud.
It's a poor wind that blows no
body good, and Palzer’s setback
means added importance to the
Flynn-McCarty bout.
The winner of this affair will be
regarded as the best of the white
hopes, unless Palzer does something
amazing meanwhile.
In the go at Los Angeles Flynn
will be under all manner of physi
cal handicaps. McCarty will out
weigh and outreach him, but dis-

And because they nearly always let
their victims get worse all the time,

These unscientific makeshifts cause
much misery and such a shameful
waste of money that the law should put

Don't Buy Anything for Rupture
Without Giving It a Thorough Test.
There’s only one reason in the world
why you or any one else ever gets sad
dled up with good-for-nothing make
shifts—
It's simply because you trust to a
mere try-on or hasty examination in
stead of first making a thorough test.
A truss or so-called "appliance" may
seem all right when you first try it on,
or for the first few days, and after
ward prove utterly worthless.
The only way you can ever make sure
of exactly what you are getting is by
sixty days trial —a thorough day-after
day test.
And there's only one thing of any
i kind whatever for rupture that you can
get on such a long trial-
only one thing good enough to stand
such a long and thorough test
That's our guaranteed rupture holder.
Only Thing Good Enough To

We’ll make you a guaranteed rup

and send it to you on sixty days trial
bet you give it a thorough test with
out asking you to risk a cent —
if it doesn't keep your rupture from
coming out or bothering you in any
way, no matter how hard you work or
strain if it doesn’t prove every claim
we make —then you can send it back
and it won’t cost you a single penny.
See What It Does
This guaranteed rupture border—the
famous Cluthe Automatic Massaging
Truss—is made on an absolutely new
principle. It is far more than just a
truss.
I'nlike everything else for rupture, it
is self-regulating, self-adjusting—in
stantly and automatically protects you
against every strain, so your rupture
can t possibly come out.
be skeptical? If you are in doubt about
what you read, write or phone the peo
ple whose names are given and see if
it is not true in every respect.
Here is a report from Mr. K. !•’. Herd
er, of No. 70 Fowler street, who Is an
employee of the Singleton Market on
Cain street, who has suffered with a
soreness across his stomach that caus
ed him much pain at times, shortness
of breath, tired, languid feeling as
though he could scarcely drag around.
He has tried different treatments, but
seemed to grow worse, and was afraid
he would have to give up work. He
was told by a friend about the Quaker
Herb Remedies that had been intro-
advantages of that kind never dis
couraged Flynn.
Among the time-honored adages
of the prize ring is one that says,
in effect: “A good little man can
not be expected to defeat a good big
man.’’
It is doubtful if the argument
holds good in modern pugilism. In
the old days when there were so
few punches known to the ring
men and when every bruiser fol
lowed a stilted style of milling, it
stood to reason. I suppose, other
things being equal, weight, strength
and stature would tell.
Champions All Original.
But this is an age of specialists,
and we have them in the ring as
well as in other walks of life.
There is no common school of box
ing nowadays. Probably no two
men who have reached the top of
the Queensberry ladders in recent
years fight alike. The best men in
lhe game are self-taught and fol
low out ideas of their own.
"If Jim Mace lived today and pit
ted his straight lefts and rights
against the hooks and jolts now in
use, he would have his head torn
off in five minutes,” said a cham
pion who has recently fallen from
grace.
That may be putting it rather
strongly, but the fact remains that
the days when the blows and
guards were as defined as the cuts
and parries in saber drill have de
parted. This is the age of short
uppercuts, loop-the-loops, under
swings, overswings and what not,
and the man with a new blow is
the dangerous customer.
Sant Langford is a living denial
of the contention that a good little
man can not lick a good big man.
Sam has licked them right along
for years. And all because he sas
peculiar assaults of his own that
are hard to solve. And Sam is well
over 30 years, although his man
ager says he is only 28.
Whether or not McCarty is a
good big man has hardly been es
tablished. He is, however, a fellow
of infinite promise. But Flynn has
certainly developed into a good lit
tle man. And whatever he may be
able to accomplish with a good big
man he has surely shown that he
can play havoc with a big man who
is not as good as he thinks he is.
The fireman has profited by ex
perience. In his earlier bouts he
knew nothing but to whale away
blindly and trust to the fortunes of
war. His stock in trade consisted
mainly of a stout heart and indif
ference to punishment. He has

without which you can never get well
I or even get better, just as a broken
bone can't knit unless constantly held

Truss provides the only way ever dis
covered for overcoming the weakness
which is the real cause of rupture.
Just how it does that—entirely au
tomatically—is all explained in the free
book which the coupon below will bring
you.
Will Save You from Operation.
The Cluthe Truss has such a re
markably strengthening and beneficial
effect that it has completely cured
hundreds and hundreds of people whose
cases seemed almost hopeless.
It has so thoroughly proved its mer
its that many physicians in all parts of
the country now recommend it instead
of advising operation.
No Belt —No LegrStraps—No Springs.
This guaranteed rupture holder does
away entirely with the curse of belts,
leg-straps and springs. People say it
is as comfortable as their clothing. It
is waterproof—will hold In the' bath.
Also perspiration-proof and easily kept
clean.
Get World’s Greatest Rupture Book.
There are so many wrong ideas about
rupture that we have taken the time to
sum up in a book all we have learned
during forty years of experience.
This remarkable book—cloth-bound, 96
pages—is full of facts never before put
in print.
It shows why depending on elastic
or spring trusses is about the worst
thing you can do. Explains why drug
stores and many self-styled "truss-fit
ters" should not be allowed to sell their
misery-making trusses.
It exposes the humbug "appliances,"
"methods." "plasters," etc., and shows
how old-fashioned, elastic trusses are
masqueraded under false and mislead
ing names.
It explains the dangers of operation.
And shows why, if you do manage to
live through it. you may have to keep
on wearing a truss.
And it tells all about the famous
Cluthe Automatic Massaging Truss—
how simple it is—how it ends constant
expense—how you can test it on sixty
days trial without having to risk a pen
ny, and how little it costs if you keep it.
Also gives voluntary indorsements
from more than 5,000 benefited and
cured people.

and has turned the maulings he has
received into good account. He has
formulated a defense with chimes
in which the close style of fighting
for which he is constiutionally
equipped. The chances are that Sam
Langford, who gave Flynn some of
his worst beatings, would find it
much harder to land on the fireman
nowadays.
Manager McCamey says that Mc-
Carty has made a special study of
Flynn’s stylo and has devised a
special bland of uppercut that will
bring the Pueblo heavy to time in
a hurry.
It sounds "good.” Flynn's style.
McCarty has probably learned, is
simply rapid action style. The way
to beat Flynn is to fight faster and
hit harder than he does.
Prowling around this neck of the
woods is Carl Morris, who declares
he is still in the running for the ,
heavyweight title. To be sure, Carl
is much better now. as far as hit
ting goes, than he was when Flynn
handed him a terrible lacing in
New York a year and a half back.
But I doubt if he can ever take off
enough weight to be fast enough to
cop the title. And McCarty knocked
him out.

McWhorter Will Go to Harvard,
Saysßumor; GeorgiaManWould
Be a Star in the “Big League”
THAT Bob McWhorter is to en
ter Harvard next fall and to
finish out his football and
college career at Cambridge is the
rumor that has hit Georgia hard
here of late.
It was the rumor in Athens at
the time of the Auburn game. It
has been the rumor here for weeks.
It is stronger now than it was three
weeks ago, when it first began to
circulate.
Such a rumor was circulated last
fall, but was then denied. This year
there seems more reason than ever
for believing the thing may come
off.
The election of McWhorter as
captain of the Georgir team was
taken by some to set at rest the
rumor, but by others it was be
lieved that the position was given
to McWhorter as an added induce
ment to stay another year at the
University of Geongia.
If Bob McWhorter goes to Har
vard, he should make the biggest
sensation of any Southern player in
a long time.
McWhorter has never been able
to do himself justice at Georgia.
His services have been so constant
ly needed on the offensive that he
has never been allowed to do his
full share of the defensive work.
On a "big league” team, where he
could divide the offensive play with
.some other stars, he could make
himself equally useful on the de
fensive and at such work his su
perb strength and his speed and
courage should make him a star.

We have not gathered In all the
picks as yet, but which
have thus far come to hand the
following team is evolved:
Center —Morgan, of Vanderbilt,
unanimous choice.
Guards —Barker, of Mississippi,
and Peacock of Georgia. The lat
ter was an all but unanimous
choice.
Tackles —Tom Brown, of Vander
bilt, and "Sheep” Lamb, of Auburn.
Brown had it pretty well his own
way. The choice of Lamb was
against the judgment of Mike Don
ahue, his own coach, who says he
is not playing his game this year.
Ends —E. Brown, of Vanderbilt
(unanimous), and Vandegraaf. of
Alabama.
Quarterback —No choice. Out
of a slather of picks, no two men
agreed on the same player for this
position.
Halfbacks —Hardage, of Vander
bilt (unanimous), and McWhorter
(unanimous except that one picker
placed him at fullback and gave
Newell a position at half).
Fullback—Sikes, of Vanderbilt,
with Reuile, of Mississippi A. & M.,
a strong second choice.
