This doctor is but one of many who constantly advisa the use of Hisurated' Magnesia in all cases of indigestion.

JACK DEMPSEY'S PLANS RUGGER TO Restaurant And Hotel King

As the years roll ou, it is quite probable that Jack Dempsey will carve out more lasting fame as America's outstanding hotel and restaurant man than he did AJ king of the maniers.

There are ave indicators which point to a far flung empire of hotel; and taverns which will rise and thrive through the magic of Dempsey's name and his dynamic diligence.

Those indicators are:

1. His first New York' restaur- ant, across from Madison Square garden, is proving

BD amazing financial success.

2. He will open his new Jack Dempsey-Vanderbilt hotel at Miami Beach, Fla.

"That's easy." Jack replied "I like the hotel and restaurant bust ness better than any other. I like people. I enjoy playing host to old friends and it's pleasure to make new friends among visitors who come to try out my place.

American Swimmers

For Japan

A team of five American swimmers and divers, including one girl, will compete in Japan this summer, it was decided by the American Swimming Federation according to a special dispatch to the Asahl from New York, states the “Japan Advertiser" on March 6.

"

The squad's personnel Includes leaders in the free style, Dreast stroke and wack stroke swims and in diving. Those chosen to make the trip are:

Jack Medica, winner of the Olympic championship. In the 400-metre free style race at Berlin, and runner-up in the 1,500- metre avent. He has competed in Japan twice in the past and will appear at the Imperial University indoor pool on April 29 on his way back to the United States from Australia.

Adolf Kiefer, Olympic champion, events as well as in the free style in the 100-metre back stroke swim and in diving. Miss Rawis swim He holds the world's re- is the record bolder for the 300- cords for all distances in the dor- gard individual medley race, sal style of swiming.

which is composed of 100-yard laps in the free style, breast stroke and back stroke swims. - She won the 1. national championship, last summer in this event for the sixth time in succession.

John Higgins, foremost Ameri- can breast stroke swimmer who placed fourth in the "200-metre breast stroke event at Berlin last summer. He is an exponent of the powerful but tiring butterfly stroke which was introduced by American awimmers here tw

years ago

Elbert Root, winner of second place in the high diving event at the 11th Olympiad.

Miss Katherine Rawls, runner- up in the springboard diving seventh place"winner in the 100- metre free style swim at the Ber- lin Games. She is a star all- round nalad, being, among the best in the United States in the back stroke and breast stroke

The American Swimming Fe- deration has not approved Japan's proposal that Klefer's coach, Mr. Brauminger, accompany the team, huth, the United States Olympic but suggests that Mr. Robert Kip-

swimming coach who has already. visited Japan twice as mentor of American swimming teams, again make the trip, the paper reporta.

However, if Japan isists on Mr. Brauminger, the ASF will un- doubtedly accede to the request, It is believed. The oficial an- nouncement on this issue is ex- pected within the next few days.

BIG FEE SCOT IN

SUSPENSION

The surprise suspension by Man- chester City of Bob Donnelly, the Scottish centre-ball," has been an added tit-bit for the Manchester, City fans, but anything which has happened during the fortnight the suspension lasted, or before. has not altered the wisnes of the player, writes a Home correspon- dent.

I saw Bob at his home after his period of suspension 'had 'expired, and the talk we had together made it very plain to me that he still wants to get back to Scot- land and play for a Scottish club or, at the least, and a new club in England with which he can play at centre-half.

-

Bob. I know, has not relish- ed playing at tall back with the Manchester City serves, and very naturally his form, has been affected.... Both club and player have main- tained a stony silence as to the reason for the suspension, but it has been stated officially that it was infiicted for "disciplinary rea- BODIA

same as it was three months ago or more when Bob asked Mán- chester City. to circularise other clubs to the effect that they were prepared to accept offers for his transfer. Manchester City com- municated with Scottish clubs to this effect, and later informed English clubs,

A REASONABLE FEE Up to a point Manchester City do not wish to stand in the play-. er's way. But Manchester City paid a big fee to Partick Thistle for Bob Donnelly's transfer, and they want a proportion of that fee back..

There is this much to be sald for the Maine Road om- etals: they have riot asked an exorbitant amount of money. I think I can now reveal that Birmingham Inquired about the player several weeks ago and were - Informed" that the fee" "wanted" was £3000. As transfer fees go these days this is not a huge BUIL

"Nearly everybody in the coun- try goes away every year," Jack continued..... "And most people go to several places several times a year. And the majority head for the big cities, for business or plea- sure and usually for both, When people make these trips they like to travel comfortably and they are willing to spend money. I don't mean they want to throw it away. I mean they want good food and lodging, when they get to their destinations. A chain of hotels ‚and restaurants that can

meet this need will make friends and money.
