the matter 1t would be as well to take
it up in all its branches, and DR.. Hen
ry w. Wiley, chief chemist Of the ag
ricultural department at Washington,
was accordingly instructed to get to the
bottom of the entire subject Of food
adulteration.
DR.. Wiley, like Barlxis, was willin',"
for this had long been his pet hobby,
but he suddenly realized that while it
was an absurdly simple matter to as
certain the extent of the adulteration
of any given article of food, it was not
so easy to determine the effect upon the
human system of the daily absorption
of unknown quantities of minerals pro-
portioned solely to the appetite and
vagaries of taste of the individual. At
last he hit upon the plan of a free
boarding house, the victims in which
should agree beforehand to submit to
any treatment the learned doctor
might prescribe. Certainly, the doctor
argued, there could be no risk in it for
him; so he advertised for martyrs.
Now comes the strange part of the
story; the martyrs were forthcoming
more than were needed The doctor Sc
lected a dozen of them and started the
poison brigade with six.
The use Of alcohol in any form was
absolutely prohibited, and the stipula-
ton was made that tobacco must be
employed in moderation. Naturally
eating between meals was SUFFICIENT to
subject the offender to expulsion.
First OF all, the subjects were strip
ped and weighed. for Uncle Sam-theo-
retically, at least-does nothing by
guesswork. Then they were conducted
to the dining room. where was spread
what is known as the t'hygienic'' table.

Chicago, Jan 15.-Jack Munroe, the

Jack, as he had seen the most of them
when he was here working on the
drainage canal
Speaking of his encounter with JEFF
fries he said: II did not expect to lick
him, neither did I think he could knock
me out. so / entered the contest full of
confidence. He moved toward nv cor
sumo, I would fight on the defensive.
Instead I shot my right over to his jaw
but he ducxed bis head. and the blow
landed on the top of his head. You
have no doubt seen men life their heads
suddenly and bump them against
something hard, then appear surprised.
Well that is just how Jeff acted.
II got in the first punch and the
crowd yelled with delight This Tiled
JEFF and he came at me to clean me in
a hurry. He pumped some hard rights
into my body. but invariably over

side of my head and on my ear. We
were fighting clean breaks and [ was
going along nicely when he caught me,
on the breakaWay, with left and right

caught me when my muscles were re-
Taxed, and wholly unexpected at that.
