H. J.. j. Placke. who is the champion pugil-

Jeffries for the championship of the world
Placke is a giant in stature and build, meas
uring feet So inches and weighing 20
pounds when in condition. and Is an all
round athlete Since the defeat of James ].
Corbett by Jeffries the American sporting
public has wondered where a man could be
secured who would have chance with the
big fellow. II has been said that 1t would re-
quire a man as big and strong. with equal
hitting powers, capable of taking as much
punishment and Just as clever as Jeffries to
stand ghost of a chance against him. Those
who have brought Placke to the front claim
that he is the man who would stand the
best chance OF taking Jeffries's measure.
Maybe he would, but the American people
doubt it. Jeffries. 1t is said. is very DESTROYS
of arranging a match with some one, and it
may be that Placke may be accommodated.

GREENS AS SPRING TONIC.
Rh ubarb, Lettuce, Spinach and Veri-
Gus Herbs Are HeaIthfuI at
This Season.

At the beginning of spring there
comes an uncomfortable longing for
fresh, green vegetables and acids. The
same feeling possesses the sailor far
away al sea-a longing which produces
disease if neglected for too long a pc
riod. History tells of entire commun-
tiles in the virgin forests of the new
scurvy. In one case a colony from the
old world was saved by the discovery
of cranberry bed under the snow,
out of which the fruit was quickly dug,
and gave the necessary vegetable acid
to the suffering colony.
In these modern days. when tropical
fruit and green vegetables are brought
to market in abundance in winter, one
can hardly realize the suffering from
