man who does more than limit his
football to the clearest of skies and
the most velvet turf can be looked
on as a mollycoddle, but the fact that
several teams were driven to

indicates either that the players are
getting tender or that the managers
are getting more sensible.

needless valor becomes foolhardiness.

lspeclaI Correspondence

Seattle, Dec. 7.---Many things OF
interest about Alaska are either be-
ing brought to light or resurrected
on account Of the publicity given
the Northland by the Alaska Yukon
Pacific Exosition which will be held
in Seattle 1909. The great wealth
Alaska has produced, compared to
the ridiculously low price which
the United States paid for the terri
tory in 1867 is now being made the
subject of much discussion.
Alaska was purchased from
Russia by Uncle Sam for $4,000, 900.
This real estate deal cost the United
states just two cents an acre. Ala
ska has paid in revenues alone to
the government more than SILL

barred. The al championship tourna.
ment will strike a medium between
ISL and 1872. The former Is thought
to be too tedious and long drawn out,
while the latter is too speedy. Since
the defeat of Vignaux and Cure there
are no foreign players of note that
would be of sufficient attraction to
prove drawing cards, and for this rea
son 1t is proposed to confine the en-.
tries to Americans George Slosson.
Maurice DAILY, Ora Morningstar and

fer and Willie Hoppe are expected TO
send their entries as soon as the plans
are properly matured.

was abandoned on account of the SUIT,

is the intention of the promoters OF
the tournament to include every play

representative. This will be the only
professional tournament of note to be
played In New York, but it promises
to be the most important of the year.
According to the plans, matches will
be arranged so that each man will
play one match with every other en-
trant. The games are to be played at
Madison Square Garden concert hall,
and to be 500 points. A trophy emblem

PHYSICIAN FINDS PEANUT DIET
A CHEAP and HEATHFUL One
New Yorker Spends Eleven Cents for Days Food
-Dispenses With Meat Eggs and Butter -oat-
meal Proves to be Favorlte Dish.

The high prices OF eggs and
butter. beef and poultry give spe-
cial interest to the experiment of
the president Of Aurora college
who proposed to subsist for sixty
days on diet OF ground peanuts
mixed with wheat Not that a diet
of peanuts is likely to become
generally popular. The point Is
this The fact that college presi-
dent expects to get along on such
a diet suggests that maybe every
day people can eliminate from
their diet the various articles
which cost so much now.
A few years ago when addressing
a body of students New York
physician said that a careful analy-
sis of food values proved that 10
cents worth of peanuts would fur
nish as much nutrition as fine
dinner at the Waldorf.
This physician and his wife,
who shares her husbands views on
dietary. keep house in q modern
uptown dwelling, says the New
York Sun. He was aware that New
Workers by an overwhelming major
ity were meat eaters and he
had discovered that hundreds of
them feel II their duty to hurl
protesting letters at any one who
decried meatt eating for preached
"A simple diet with little variety
and less meat on the bill of fare.
Many years ago. the doctor ban
ished meat and poultry from his
own table, not because he thought
eating them injured his health but
simply because he did not approve
of killing animals and birds to
eat. Along with the fowls he
banished eggs.
Butter he never did like and
never ate. he never used milk ex-
cept In the condensed or cooked
form for the reason that he be-
lieves that there are other foods
better suited to the adult stomach.
When asked to suggest a few
simple. inexpensive menus the doc
tor replied:
81 don't care to prescribe a daily
bill OF fare for any one. so long
as the everlasting clamor for var
iety continues and the old time
superstition that uot to eat meat
means not to have any good blood
worth speaking of remains, SO
long as so large a part of the
population live to eat instead of
eating to live, it's waste of time
IL seems to me. to talk simple
menus which include the same
dishes over and over again.
"Why, we'd get tired of eating
mat every day. I've had friends
tell me.
"The initial step In my crusade
10 make popular simple low priced
menus is to teach the people that
the habit of not getting tired OF
eating the same things can be
cultivated. Eating is surely an ami
maj function, and there is no
good reason why It should not be
regulated like any other animal
function.
NATURALLY a diet of peanuts
three times day would be the
extreme OF simple menus, and de
spite Its nutritIve qualities 1t
ISN'T likely ever to be popular.

NORA LEPERS
AROUND HERE
TO GIVE THE DISEASE TO ANY
BOY OR GIRL.

"Sin is the leprOsy of the SOUL" said
Rev. Hart last night. Many are in
fected with this dread disease who do
not know il. But as surely as the vine
which grows up and kills the sturdy
oak, it will Overtake your life and turn
you into paths of disgrace and shame"
In brief. this is the substance of the
sermon preached by the gifted evan
gelist at the tabernacle last night The
young girl playing cards in the par
lOr and drinking a social glass may be
a sure precursor of the sad-eyed wOm-
an in scarlet robes. A glass of wine, a
game of cards. a dance or a visit to
theater is sufficient, says the evan
gelist, may be all that is necessary
to start young man or woman on the
downward path.
Concluding his sermon. Rev. Hart
asked for converts to come forward
and the response was made by more
than 90 people. The subject tonight
will be a special one chosen by the
speaker for the occasion.

ISAACS ILLUSTRATED BY
COMPOSITIONS.

In the parlors of the Central Chris

city held its second pragrom meeting
last evening. More than 75 lovers of
music were in attendance and the
meeting was successful in every way.
Miss Grace Isaacs read a paper on
the development of the opera trac-
ing The opera from its rudimentary be-
ginnngs. through its many changes,
down to the present day. Miss IsaacS
has fairly mastered the subject and
the paper was one of exceptional inter-
est. The first part of the paper dealt
wi h the development from the Greek
drama down to the Renaissance The
second part of the paper took the sub
ject from that period down to the
present day. The names of the most
noted composers and their influence on
the opera was also discussed.
Illustrating this development, Mrs.
Anna Sekirk Norton sang several Sc
lectiohs from compositions of different
periods. All of her numbers We're

TT is estimated tha. there are 625,-

and owing to the market conditions,
but very little of this grain is being
moveu. The condition is causing con-
siderable embarrassment 10 shippers

livery of the crop can be made
The above statements were made
last evening to a representative of the
Statesman by E. F. Benson, who is
business visitor in the city from

while the conditions are not Sc
rious, and l believe that the grain.
movement will be well under way by

men along the river are, uneasy" con-
tinued Mr.. Benson. "At the present
time of the year there is third more
grain in the river warehouses than
ever before and with the absence of

not improved. Very little grain is
available for river shipment. and the
delivery of the crop will be consider
ably later than ever"
