HIGH SCHOOL GAMES,
The First Game Between Central and
Eastern Postponed,

ine FIRST Game Between Central md
Eastern Postponed.
The games between the Central and East
ern for the High School foot ball cham
pionship have been delayed on account Of
the inability Of the managers to obtain
suitable grounds. The first game, scheduled
for Saturday on the Georgetown College
campus, has been postponed until Wednes-
day, December 2, and will be played on
Columbia Field. The playing of both
teams has not been as good lately as it
has been during the year. but the showing
made by both elevens when they met the
Gallaudets. Maryland Agricultural College
and Episcopal High School elevens was
satisfactory, considering the weights of the
others and advantages for training and
practice The Central team will outweigh
the Easterns by a good margin. Both
teams have good individual players, and
an exciting and close game will be the re-
suit. The Central school boys have been
playing Kimmel right half-back in all
their games. Kimmel does not attend
school. and, according to the agreement
entered into between the two schools. he
Will not be allowed to play without the
Eastern's consent. The Eastern boys say
that kilnmel can play. If they can play an
outside man to match him, but to this the
Central school will eagerly agree. The fol-
lowing Is what will probably be the line

Or. Felix Oswald's Interesting Cont-Iba-
tioD TO the Literature OF Food.
DR.. Felix Oswald contributes to
Health Culture an article in which he
INSERTS that what are called canine
teeth" are not canine in any sense or
significance. They correspond, he says,
to the eye teeth in man-instead Of the
eye teeth in man corresponding TO them,
1t viii be noted-and are enormously
developed in several species of baboOns
that would unhesitatingly prefer a
bunch OF wild grapes TO a porter-house
steak. DR.. Oswald dos not believe that
man is a carnivorous animal, and he
terms the idea that man cannot live on
q strict vegetable diet 1.-THE meat delu.
sion" He notes again that normal
children have an aversion to flesh food
In its undisguised state, and ridicules
the notion that meat promotes muscle
and eonduces TO longevity.
The conclusion is drawn from DR.. Os-
wald's Investigations that total alb
stinence from Aesh food would pro-
mote the cause of moral as well as
physical health" and would contribute
international peace" and IL it would
certainly do either there would be suf-
fcient warrant for organizing a society
or something to popularize tho cause
he advocates and persuade people to
carry his ideas into general effect. The
world Will probably go very slow, OF
course, in giving up its savory steaks"
cuts" and such things for an exclu-
sive diet of barley bread and dried figs,
even with ghee and beans thrown in
for the sake of luxury, but the good
doctors essay will not be without It's
use nevertheless. If our farmers In
South Carolina will not raise sheep and
cattle in order to supply themselves and

IOWA LAND CASE REPORTED
special Commissioner Boyer Returns the
Result OF His Investigations.

Washington, Jan. 21-An immense
tract Of valuable land in Iowa whose
possession has been in dispute for MANY
years, is involved in a report to Secre-
tary Hoke Smith, received from Rob-
ert L. Boyer, the special commissioner
appointed to investigate the hundreds
OF conflicting claims known as the Des
Aoines river land grant claims A pri-
or investigation was made in 1892, but
was renewed and the work was largely
tended by the discovery of many filings
IN the Des MOines land office. of which
10 record can be found at the interior
department. There were 526 applica
lions filed for the lands, and in the
investigator a great number of wit
nesses were examined. All the claims
MhICn Were considered separately are
listed and the aggregate amount of
those cases alone in which indemnify
should be awarded, nearly consumes
Vile present appropriation, out of which
an claimants insisted they were enti-
tied to payment.
commissioner Boyer gave a liberal
construction to the act under which he
was appointed. In cases where the
paramount title had been purchased.
lhe commissioner uniformity accepted
the price stated in the contract Of sale
or deed, unless it appeared from the
evidence that that sum was not the
true consideration. In some instances
the title had been purchased and after.
wards the land conveyed to a third per-
son. The indemnity is awarded to him
who purchased it while he held the
government title. In cases where the
claimant purchased first the paramount
title and afterwards for some reason
purchased the title of the settlers, in
demnity is refused. In all cases where
the paramount title has been purchased
the report cites the reasonable value OF
such title now. if the parties are still
IN possession, or at time of eviction.
The commissioner rejects all claims
Tor value Of Improvements placed on
lands taken from him; for the amount
paid for attorneys fees by claimants in
defense of government title in suits
brought by the grantees and assignees
under the act of 1916; for interest and
for value of mineral deposits in lands
covered by their claims Indemnity is
awarded in cases where the evidence
shows that entrymen who paid the gov
ernment price for the lands and had
received patents and final receipts have
