Well, simply by eating bread.
1T has long been known that the fer

that it passed from the dough during
the process of baking. Several scien-
lists have proved that bread, when
ready for eating, contains an average
Of 800 per cent Of alcohol to the loaf.
You must remember that in many
countries strong liquors are brewed

NEE ATHLETES
JOIN LEAGUE
Are Admitted to First Glass
Membership in Chicago
Organization.
NEW PROVISIONS VICE
System Of Classification Provides
That Teams of Same Weight
Be Brought Together.

Joe Shaw, the manager of Mee's Ath-
letes, went to Chicago last night for
the purpose of making his team a mem
Der of the Chicago Football league. At
ter the proper credentials We're pre-
scented the Hammond team was ad-
mitted by unanimous vote.
There is a wise provision in the
rules of the Chicago Football league,
which divides the 2O5 teams of which
it is composed into three classes. The
first class includes teams which av-
erage 155 pounds or more. The second
class averages between 140 and 155
pounds and the third class averages
between 125 and 40 pounds. Ham
mond with eight other teams are in the
first class.
The advantage of this system of clas-
sihcation is that teams OF the same
weight are brought together and the
dagner Of accidents is greatly mimi
mized
In passing upon the qualifications for
membership in the Chicago Football
league there are three things consd-
cred
The team must be properly organized
and must agree to abide by the regu-
iations OF the league. 1t must have
an official who is thoroughly acquaint-
ed with the new rules and BY expert
ence be qualified to referee the games.
A letter from Or. Seyfarth stating the
amount of experience he has had was
read and he was accepted as referee.
The next and most important consider
alton is the reputation Of the players
and the officials of the team. Because
of the nature of the game. teams which
play dirty" or sportsmanlike games
are barred.
1t was right here that the rub came
The members of the various teams had
seen the highly colored account of the
game last Saturday in the Chicago
papers. and had the impression that
the Hammond team was a bunch OF
toughs. 1t required a vast amount OF
explaining on the part Of Manager
Shaw to convince the committee OF
managers that the highly colored stor-
los in regard to broken collar bones
and ribs that had been caved in. Were
untrue. He stated the actual facts OF
the case. which We're that but one mar

1t Is a matter of history that in 1852
two Frenchmen left Victoria to hunt
for the Midas stream. They returned
some months later with well filled
BOXES, but money or persuasion could
not induce them to make the TRIP

terror when they spoke of this curious
Eldorado. This bears out the super

that there is something supernatural

The Dogs Kennel,

A dogs kennel should always be
placed facing south, so that the ami
NAL may have the light and heat Of
the sun at all seasons of the year.
Without plenty of sunlight g dog will
not keep in health. Straw or pine
shavings form the best bedding for a
dogs kennel and are much superior to
hay or sawdust, which is often used.
Great care should be taken to see that
the bedding is always dry and that 1t
is changed at least once a week. In
the hot weather bedding Is not required

saw them at work in the graveyard
and followed them toward this city.
He discovered they had the skull of
a boy in their buggy. He recovered the
head and claims that the boys offered
him whiskey and money if he would
not prosecute. He demands that the
authorities push the cases and punish
the guilty parties.

the practicability of increasing the irri-

Dry Land Alfalfa.

LA GRANDE, Or, May 1O.-Follow-
ing the system of dry farming intro
duced in Oregon by the late r. c.
Judson, industrial agent of the o. r.
& N, and known as the Campbell
system, George F. Wright, the Wash
ington gulch farmer, sowed a field of
alfalfa with the dry seed which Mr..
Judson imported from Germany and
cultivated it under the dry system.
Mr.. Wright reports that this alfalfa
is growing and is higher and healthier
than the other alfalfa which he is rails
ing by irrigation. He is a firm be-
lever in the dry farming system as
applied to bench lands, and looks for
splendid results all through the coun-
try.
