THE DOCTOR'S QUESTION Advice Against the Use of Harsh Purgatives and Physics. A doctor's first question when consulted by a patient is, "are your bowels regular?" He knows that ninety-eight per cent of illness is attended with inactive bowels and torpid liver. This condition poisons the system with noxious gases and waste matter which naturally accumulates and which must be removed through the bowels before health can be restored. Salts, ordinary pills and cathartics may be truly likened to dynamite. Through their harsh. Irritating action they force a passage through the bowels, causing pain and damage to the delicate intestinal structure which weakens the whole system, and at best only produces temporary relief. The repeated use of such treatments cause chronic irritation of the stomach and bowels, hardens their tissues, deadens their nerves, stiffens their muscles and generally brings about an injurious habit which sometimes has fatal re sults. We have a positive, pleasant and safe remedy for constipation and bowel dis orders in general. We are so certain of its great curative value that we promise to return the purchaser's mon ey in every case when it fails to pro duce entire satisfaction. This remedy is called Rexall Orderlies. We urge you to try them at our entire risk. Rexall Orderlies are very pleasant to take, they act quietly and have a soothing, strengthening, healing influence on the entire intestinal tract. They do not purge, gripe, cause nausea, flatulence, excessive looseness, diar rhoea or other annoying effect, and they may be taken at any time without any inconvenience. Rexall Orderlies overcome the drug ging habit and cure constipation and all similar ailments, whether acute or chronic. They are especially good for children, weak persons or old folks, Price, 36 tablets, 25c, and 12 tablets, 10c Kaufman & Wolf, Hammond, Ind. NEWS FOR DRUGGISTS Lake County Business Men Watch Fight. Local druggists who have been de nounoing the state and national health officials for their decree regarding the danger of using benzoate of soda as a preservative, will be interested to know that although the national authorities have decreed that the preservative is not dangerous, the state officials will enforce the state law against it. Dr. J. N. Hurty, secretary of the state board of hearth, says that what ever difference of opinion exists between the state board of health and the state food and drug commission con cerning the use of benzoate of soda as a preservative is likely to be settled in accordance with the decision in Wash ington following the report of the spe cial committee selected by President Roosevelt to look into the matter. It was said at the laboratory of the food and drug commission that the state would continue to enforce its rules against the use of the preservative, except when the product was labeled, and it is probable that this attitude will prevail until the federal government sets forth that benzoate of soda may be used without being con sldered harmful, or an adulterant. Union tailors are voting now on a proposition to change the place of holding the general convention from Bloomington. 111., to Buffalo, N. Y. But one International assemblage of union tailors has been held in sixteen years There is a growing sentiment that the conventions should be held annually, and this may be provided for.

TINKER MAKING HITS Unable to Accept Vaudeville Offer. Joe Tinker, who is coming to Hammond soon, is rehearsing night and day in his new play, "The Home Run Hit." The ball player-actor will open his tour at Racine Feb. 7. Joe's hard luck in not being free to accept a con tract for $500 a week In vaudeville on account of his contract with the owners of the "Home Run" show may not be such tough luck after all, for if the present play draws the people Tinker will be enriched by one-third of the profits. President Murphy of the Cubs has been appealed to by the 'Montgomery ea mof the Southern League city to ose one of his extra infielders. Hank O'Day, .the star of Pulliam's umpire staff, is greatly interested in the outcome of the so-called umpire bribery scandal, which has existed to date only because Klem said somebody tried to bribe him to throw the Cubs-Giants play-off Oct. 8. Hank is n a hurry to hear of a decision. O'Day expects to sign a new contract when Pulliam comes here for the schedule meeting next month. BOXING LID DOWN Police of New York Sound Warning. New York, Jan. 27. Police Commis sioner Bingham announced today that he had sent a word of warning to his eighteen inspectors and all of the police captains of the city that prize fights were getting the best of them and that they had better "wake up." The commissioner said he had called he agent of these police officials to his order issued Oct. 23 last, which instructed the police to suppress all prize fights. In his telephonic mandate today Commissioner Bingham said "That order has not been rescinded. I want you to wake up and take no tice." OPERATE ON PLAYER Bill Bradley of Naps in the Hospital. Cleveland, Jan. 27. An operation is to be performed on Bill Bradley, third baseman of th Naps. He goes to the Lakeside hospital here tomorrow.

DRISCOLL AND CROSS FIGHT IN NEW YORK Briton Sees Leach Knock Out Young Otto. New York, Jan. 27. Leach Cross, the pride of the East Side, and Jem Driscoll, the 126-pound champion of Eng land, were matched this afternoon to fight ten rounds at the Fairmont Athletic club, probably on Feb. 11. The boys are to weigh 135 pounds at 6 o'clock on the day of the battle. This should be one of the best bouts ever held in the city. Both are fast, clever boys. Driscoll saw Cross fight Otto at the Fairmont club last week and asked for a match. Cross wouldn't cdnsent until told he could come in at 135 pounds. MORAN IN SHAPE FOR JMURPHY GO New York, Jan. 27. Owen Moran, the little Englishman who will meet Tommy Murphy in a ten round contest at the National Athletic club Friday night, had a run today on the roads of Lakewood, N. J., paced by the riding ;lub members of the Lakewood hotel. The swift little fighter led the party over hill and dale at a terrific clip. Moran is in great condition and said today that the few pounds he will have to give to Murphy will In no way affect him. Moran is doubly anxious to win, as he hopes to sail for England shortly to prepare for a battle at the National Sporting club, London, with Jem Driscoll. The latter fights Johnny Marto Thursday night. BEGIN WORK ON MEXICAN TRACK San Diego. Cat, Jan. 27. Work has begun on the new race track which will be built Just across the Mexican border, near Tia Juana, Lower California. Plans for a large stand have been drawn, and in addition the promoters propose to build a clubhouse where gambling of all sorts may flourish without legal Interference. Two hundred and fifty acres of land are Included in the site leased by the promoters.

JEFFERiES SIGHS FOR 20 WEEKS Ofl STAGE Gets $50,000 for Engagement, Which Shows Him in no Hurry to Fight.

San Francisco, Jan. 27. James J. Jeffries today signed a contract to appear on the eastern vaudeville stage for a period of twenty weeks at a sal ary of $2,50 0a week, or $50,000 for the engagement. This means, of course, that the big "retired and undefeated champion of the world," whatever his intentions may be In regard to an ultimate meeting with Jack Johnson, will have another six months at least to think It over. The contract with Jeffries was ob tained by William Morris of the inde pendent vaudeville circuit that has been causing some trouble to the so-called vaudeville trust. Morris slipped quiet ly out of New York, just as quietly into San Francisco and had his contract all but signed before many were aware of his presence in the city. Jeffries 13" slated to go directly to New York with Morris about March 8. Starting In New York, he will take in two theaters in that city, Boston, Brooklyn, Chicago and other large cit les. Before leaving the coast, however, the big fellow will make a barnstorm ing tour of the state. Jeffries will finish the week here, then go to Callejo for a one night stand. From there he will travel directly to Los Angeles, where he expects to spend about eight days settling his private business affairs preparatory to the long trip be fore the footlights. When the aotor-champion has finish ed his business in the southern me tropolls he will entrain for Bakersfleld to start a tour through the state, which will include one night stands at Bak ersfield, Fresno, San Jose, Stockton and Sacramento and two. nights in Oak land. When this trip is completed Jef fries will start for the east. VALSH WILL BE TARDY Star of Sox Pitchers Won't Go With Team to Coast in the Spring. New Haven, Conn., Jan. 27. Yale and Pitcher Ed Walsh of the Chicago American League team finally came to terms yesterday and the giant White Sox twirler will report here Friday and take charge of the Yale candidates for the box. Walsh did not sign a formal con tract, as it is uncertain he will remain He will not, however, join the Chicago team when it goes to California for spring practice, but will probably stay at Yale until about April 1. Walsh will look the Yale pitchers over in the gymnasium a week before they begin to pitch in the cage. Barney Reilley, the Yale sophomore, who has signed with the Sox, will remain with the Yale squad till the college season closes. HARBOR TEfil DEFEATED East Chicago Wins Easy Polo Match by the Score of 5 to 1. (Special to The Times.) Indiana Harbor, Ind., Jan. 27. Indi ana Harbor, for the third time, suffered defeat at the hands of the East Chicago roller polo team last night. Five' to 1 was the resulting score and the Harbor boys naturally feel somewhat dismayed at their being unable to play a stronger game. Captain Cooksey, however, was not in the best of form, while Sternberg, the star center, played a very weak game and was nowhere near his usual standard. East Chicago fouled considerably and as a result lost one goal, otherwise the score would have been 6 to 1. Meintz played the scoring game for East Chicago and to his playing three goals may be attributed. Carroll, at second rush, made two goals and Mitchell one. Bratton made the scoring play for the Harbor team after a splendid piece of field team work. The rushes were all in favor of the East Chicago team last night. Meintz covered eight of these, allowing Cooksey to handle the ball but twice during the game. Kimble and Lewis both played star games at goal. The lineup at last night's game was as follows: East Chicago. Ind. Harbor. Mintz First rush Cooksey Carroll Second rush Bratton Mitchell Center Sternberg Skelton Half back Nellis Kimble Goal Lewis Rushes Helntz, 11; Cooksey, 2. Stops Kimble, 12; Lewis, 17. Fouls East Chicago, 3. Points By Heintz. 3; Carroll, 2; Mitchell, 1; Bratton, 1. Lost on fouls East Chicago, 1. At the last session of the legislature, at Albany, X. N., the proposition looking to the establishment of an old-age pension system was introduced, but did not meet with favorable consideration, owing to the fact that such measure involved an annual payment of over $20,000,000. At the coming session, however, a bill embodying the same general principles of old-age pensions is likely to be reintroduced it is said.

NELSON WILL FIGHT

WITHMTY DAYS Dane Bays He Will Sign for Championship Go When He Gets to Coast. Battling Nelson, lightweight cham pion, has scattered to the winds the persistent rumors that he does not intend to fight again, that he is planning o hold his championship as long as he can and then let it go by default. Nelson has written that he is simply spollng for a fight and that when he gets to the coast he will make arrange ments with one of the big promoters ut that way for a championship fight. The Dane says he expects such a battle to be staged .within sixty days. Just one thing, and that a very Im portant lone, is missing from Nelson's letter and that is the nnmn of man he is going to give a chance at me ngntweight crown. Unquestionably it is one of t)iro mtn vr.ir. McFarland, Freddie Welsh or Johnny Thompson, with the fl standing better chances than the Cy clone, Decause Nelson thinks either would draw a bigger house than the sycamore ngnter. Promoter Coflfroth wantu Tolnn McFarland. and is hard after the match, but no doubt would be willlna- tn a match between the Dane and either weisn or Thompson. McFarland Is planning to make some fights In the ease in tne near xuture, but can be depended upon to iumo back west f Nel son comes to terms with him. Welsh is eaeer for a clash vith Vr champion, and Thompson la so confi rm, ui nis aoimy mat ne is willing to give Nelson $5,000 if the champion siops nim in a rorty-flve round contest. Nelson will finish his theatrical work Feb. 4, and will then go to his ranch at Obar, N. M., for a week or so and then direct to Frisco. SUTTON GETS SLOSSOfl Chicagoan Loses Championship Match in New York Last Night. New York, Jan. 27. George Slosson wrested the 18.1 balk line billiard championship of the world from George Sutton at the Madisen Square Garden concert hall last night. He won decisively by the score of 500 to S28. But it took fifty-six innings to end all the agony. The winner's average was then but 8 52-56. The match was for $1,000 and tb championship. The hall was filled with an appreciative assemblage of men and women who are prominent in society and club circles in New York. There was also a fair sprinkling of visitors from Philadelphia and Boston. Among the experts who watched the men prepare for the contest, Slosson was considered to be in better shape, but there was little betting on the outcome, "even money and take your pick" being the rule. TOHY GAPONI 111 001 Billings, Mont., Jan. 27. Tony Ca pon!, the Chicago Italian, and Eddie McGoorty of Oshkosh, Wis., fought twenty fierce rounds to a draw here before one of the largest crowds that ever witnessed a prize fight in this city. Caponi displayed the greater ring generalship and his superiority in fight ing was clearly demonstrated, his cleverness in warding off the pile-driv ing punches of McGoorty calling forth frequent applause from the crowd. SPORTING BEIZFS. The advance guard of Boston Nation als will leave for Augusta about March 7. Johnny Kling, the Chicago catcher; is playing indoor baseball in Kansas City, With McGann, Brown and Flynn the Milwaukee club is strong at first base.

The salary limit of the Ohio and Pennsylvania league has been fixed at $1,500, exclusive of managers. Nap Rucker has signed his Brooklyn contract, so Manager Lumley is sure of one good pitcher for his Dodgers. Jack Ryan, Lew McAllister and Joe Knotts make a strong trio of backstops for the Buffalo Eastern league team. Manager Lake of the Boston Americans has signed Thomas Madden, a promising young catcher. Madden played fine ball for Portland, Ore., last season. Louis Durham, the Giants' new pitcher, wants to return to Indianapolis. Perhaps he is afraid that he will make good and be compelled to go on the stage. Buck Weir, a lightweight, is anxious to get on with some good boy at his weighrt. Joe Baker, 277 Twelfth place, Chicago, is handling his affairs. Charley Berry, who used to have the Indian sign on Battling Nelson in the old days, is now fighting around Wyoming.
