handsome and thoroughly appropriate

FOOD AND WEATHER.
Temperature Increased or Reduced
By Food.

The old army ration for the tropics
has been very sharply criticized for the
reason that it consists of articles of
food that any person even slightly &C
quainted with the elements Of food
knows is not adapted to the needs of
the human system in hot weather. Ma
ture shows forth in the selection of
food by inhabitants of various coun-
tries: for instance, the Esquimaux in
a cold climate selects heavy, carbon
aceous foods, tallow, bacon and such (;
while the Hindoo and inhabitants of
hot countries turn to the cereals for
sustenance.
We should follow this hint of nature,
and particularly in hot weather should
avoid much butter, meat or any of that
class of food Perhaps a little meat
once dav is not amiss. even in hot
weather. but the breakfast and lunch
should be made of fruit, one or two
slices of entire wheat bread and some
Grape Nuts and cream. Grape-Nuts
are mentioned, because they furnish
the ideal cereal food in most palat-
able and delicious form, in addition to
which they are ready cooked, and re-
quire no attention whatever from the
cook
A person can pass through weather
that may be intensely hot in a COM
Portable manner, if the food be properly
selected, and the above suggestions can
be put into practice with most excellent
results.

ALTERATIONS ON SHAMROCK
SAILMAKERS BUSY WITH THE
CUP CHALLENGER.
Nobody Is Yet Supposed to Know
What Lipton's Boat Is Capable of
Doing.

New York, July IA dispatch to
the Herald from Southampton says:
Sailmakers have been busy on board
the Shamrock making many trifiing al
terationS to the canvas, which Satur-
days spin showed to be necessary. Peo-
pie are talking and writing a great deal
about the coming triolS of the Sham
rock with the Britannia.
Mr.. Fife is not going to allow those
trifieS to give any indication of what
the Shamrock is capable of doing. The
people Will know as little after these
so-called trials as before.
Independently of the care that Mr.
Fife will take toward this end. there is
the fact that the Shamrock. as she is
now, is a different boat from what she
will be when she sa',s at New York.
Now her inside is ssfened with steel
til she gets ready for her races in New
York. This change will entirely alter
her conditions of stability.
The schooner upon which the Sham
rock crew lives lies on the port side of
the Shamrock. No one sleeps on board
the yacht, although there is a constant
watch throughout he night. There is
no accommodation aboard the racer.
Here as we'll as in New York, the hands
will live away from the cutter. Here
they are dwelling very comfortably on
the old hulk.
In New York they will be on a large
sort of houseboat, where they will live
without shore liberty until the races are
over. This all the men understand and
although they have not signed their in
dentures yet, they will do so, including
the conditions named, most willingly,
such is their enthusiasm.
Rumor has it that Sir Thomas Upton
has promised each of the crew e1 a
week for life if the Shamrock wins.

Denver. Colo, July 11-George Dixon,

White at the end of Il twenty-round
bout before the Olympic club tonight.

round to the finish, Tommy's purpose
being to avoid a knockout ana stay me

comment of all. He would bring 1t from

same capacity for White Bat Master
son was referee. The attendance num-
bered $500. Dixon weighed in this af-
ternoon at 125A pounds and White at
12O pounds. The betting was 10 TO on
Dixon and quite a bunch of money
changed hands at these odds
In the first round Dixon forced mat
tiers, Tommy blocking cleverly, ana
landed several leftS on head and chest.
There was no damage.
The second was very fast, George
using his left to good advantage. Tom
my did his share of this work, bringing
his left to Georges head and right to
his left eye as the round closed. Blood
trickled from a cut over Georges left
eve.
In the third round White was the
aggressor at first, but ran into a stiff
left punch from George, quickly fol-
lowed by rights and lefts that put him
en- the defensive. George became care
less aud was cautioned by O'Rourke.
He settled down and was showering
vicious lefts to Tommy's body as the
round closed.
In the next round George displayed
over-anxiousness and judged distance
badly. Tommy was coll and careful.
Just at the end George brought his
right with force to Tommy's kidneys
and left to necy, staggering White.
Honors were about even.
In the fifth Tommy displayed clever
ducking and side-stepping. and thereby
ssoided the fierce rusheS of Dixon.
The latter was trying for a knockout.
In the following round Dixon settled
down to business. His hard lefts on
Tommy's face and body visibly weak
ened the latter, who recovered only mo-
memtarily until me end of the fight.
From this on to the eighteenth round
It was pretty much the same. George
was strong and on the aggressive ali
the time. Tommy seemed dazed and
led but little. He hung to George
good deal of the time. But Dixon could
not place enough force in his blows,
although he rained them on Tommy's
body and head, to put him out.
In the last minute of the twentieth
round George brought hard left to
Tommy's neck, which caused him to
WAIVER. 1t looked like the finish, but
Tommy Strengthened out and put Dixon
off until the gong sounded, when Ref
cree Masterson announced that Dixon
was the winner.
Preliminary to the Dixon White
meeting. Jimmy Coogan of Denver and
Spike Wallace of Pittsburg fought a
fast eight-round draw. The men were
well matched and gave a good exhibi-
ton.
