Green Apples

Green Apples
green apple must be cooked before you
can safely eat it. Do you know why?
1t is because of the starch. Starch unless
thoroughly cooked, isn't digestible. 1t upsets
the stomach and bowels
AS the apple ripens, the starch changes to
dextrine-digests itself. Then it is safe.
Much of the starch that you eat, like the
starch in green apples, isn't sufficiently cooked.
And wheat is largely starch.
That is why bread, unless toasted, isn't good
for dyspeptics. The inside of the loaf never
gets half enough heat. The granues Of the
starch are not separated, so the digestive juices
can get to them.
That is the reason for Mapl-Flake.
Our wheat is steam-cooked for six hours.
Think of that Yet even that is insufficient
Then we flake it-crush each separate berry
to the thinness of paper. Then we toast it, for
80 minutes in ovens heated to 400 degrees.
The flake is so thin that every atom of starch
gets the full force of that heat.
That is why Mapl-Flake is the best food in
the world 1t is all food. Every atom is avail
able nourishment.

A case Of rare presence of mind and
one deserving more than passing no.
tice was displayed by little Viola
Drinkwater, the six year old daughter
of Mr.. and Mrs. Arthur Drink
water of Milo Last Tuesday when
at play with her little brother
Darrell, aged five, they came across a
large hole where blasting had been
done and filed up with recent rains.
Darrell commenced to throw stones
and sticks at some frogs in the hole
when he lost his footing from the ledge
and fell in, as the water was six feet
deep he was in a precariOus situation
but little Viola, instead of running TO
the house, quite distance away, as
almost any six year old would have
done, scrambled down the ledge, bruis-
ing herself considerably and grabbed
her little brother by the clothing, held
on and tusged away until she drew
him out. Pretty cool headed work
for one so young and worthy of emu
lation by many older and wiser heads.

Jim Corbett began his breadwin-
ming career as an employee OF bank
He became member OF the Olympic
Athletic Club. ana under Walter Wat
son, past master of the manly art,
he soon developed a clever boxer.
Fistic science was a natural quality
and il was not long before he had
bested all of the best sparrers in the
in the club. Corbett. says that the
night John l.. Sullivan met George
Robinson at the Mechanics pavilion
in Frisco he was the first person TO
pass the gates at 5 o'clock in the af-
ternoon. He went early. to get a
seat close to the ropes and to avoid
the bowling mob that damned the
building that night.
THAT was my first real lesson In
practical professional pugilism." de-
CARES Corbett. 1t was only a few
years later that Corbett became one
of the leading fistic stars of the Pa
ciflc coast. When he was matched
to fight Peter Jackson Corbett's
father filed an objection to inns am.
billion TO become a pugllist and also
willingness to meet a negro in the
ring. The old gentleman was fairly
beside himself with rage over the
match and declared that he would
have JIM arrested. But Corbett took
his dad aside and said:
Nov. father. I've signed articles
to meet Jackson, True, he's a col
ored man, and appreciate your feel
ing, but I've signed the agreement
and can't get out of the fight without
dissracing myself and losing the
friendship. as well as the money, OF
a whole lot of good people. IL you
prevent me from fighting Jackson in
Frisco l will 20 to Australia and
fight him. You wouldn't want me 10
go or into strange country where
I wouldn't receive fair play, would
you?" This was too much for the
elder Corbett. who shook his head and
walked away.

Jefries a Hammer swirtgcr.

Jeffries began his bushes career
as a boilermaker in Los Angeles.
He was fond of swinging the heavy
hammer, and soon developed great
physical strength. Jim was never in
the habit of looking for trouble, bu,
when II was up to him he generally
sailed in and won. Among his CO.
workers in the boiler factory Jeff soon
gained a reputation for his rough and
ready fighting ability. so that very
few cared to cross his path.
One day a negro boxer visited Los
Angeles with a challenge to meet all
Corners The boys in the boiler fac
tory coaxed Jeff to take chance with
the dusky boxer JEFF knew nothing
OF scientific boxing in those days. but
he could rush In and hit with the
power of a mule kick. SO he tackled
the darby, and after the latter had ey
hausted his strength in pounding
Jen's head and body. the big Cali
fornian rushed and the negro was
almost annihilated.
Then 1t was that JEFF got the prize
fighting bee. and left his job long
enough to run up 20 Frisco, where he
knocked out Dan Long, local fighter
of some reputation. Jeffries says he
really learned how to fight when he
was helping to train Corbett for that
memorable battle at Carson City.

for a fight, hut the colored boxer
lsteadfastly refused to meet him, de-
lclaring that he would tackle any

that arrangements were made for a

Some people say 1t is as natural for
| some men to be prizefighters as 1t is
for others to be poets, musicians and
artists. Circumstances often develop
tie pugilistic nature in the successful
fighting man. but nobody can become
La topnoteher in the prizering unless
Inc has the natural requirements in
his makeup.
John l.. Sulliyan's parents often
declared that they intended their
husky son for the church, but nature
made the big fellow champion
|prize1lghter It was about the same
with the parents of Jeffries. His
Gather, who is a travelling preacher
up and down the Western rivers, tried
hard to have his big son follow in the
same path, but again nature stepped
in and declared Jim gladiator. It
lis almost always the case that parents
of pugilists are opposed to the fight
ing game.
When Sullivan was young fellow
in South Boston his father put him to
work in a tin factory to learn the
trade of timer. John had refused to
study for the priesthood and wanted
to be his own boss. He developed a
|fondness for baseball and at each din
ner hour he would join his friends
lin a nearby lot. The boss of the fac
tory was a big. burly fellow, who
rnled the apprentices with an iron
hand. When the whistle blew at 1
o'clock he would accept no excuse
from the boys who were few min
utes late.
One afternoon Sullivan was so
taken up with the ballplaying that he
did not hear the factory whistle and
was about ten minutes late when he
came back to the shop. With no
word of warning the boss rushed at
John l.. like a cyclone, clouted him in
the face and kicked him IN the body

GRANT IN FINAL
FOR TENNIS TITLE

NEW YORK, February cS-A lively
double match. resulting in victory for
William B. Cragin, jr.. and Miles s. Char
lock. and slashing demonstration of the
net game with Wylie c. Grant as winner,
were the features of the national indoor
lawn tennis championship tournament
yesterday on the courts of the eth Regi-
ment armory.
Steadiness and experienced generalship
allowed Cragin and Charlock to come
through the winners over NJ. Marcus and
Manfred Goldman by the score of Ga,
6-3. Charlock accomplished some good
work in the way of running in to the net
from deep court to smash volleyed re-
turns for aces. but on the whole it was
the experience of the winners that held
them safe throughout the match.
The light and general conditions were
much to Grants liking when he took the
court against Morris S. Clark in the
struggle for the final racket of the sin
giles. Much of the time he was camped
at the net and his overhead strokes for
smashes and cross shots made short work
of the majority of the games. Clark ac-
complished some good driving and timely
lobbing. but Grant held the upper hand
throughout and won, Ga, 6-3 In the re-
naming semi-final William B. Cragin. jr,

to say about the showing made by Schmidt.
but the truth of the matter is that
in comparing the players of the Chicago
and the Detroit teams before the series,
they said that although the teams as a
whole compared favOrably, there was no
comparison between Schmidt and Killing.
In reading the papers that night Schmidt
saw the article and became angered and
said that he would prove that he was in
Kings class. The result was that he was
worked up to such a pitch that he did not
catch the ball that he is capable of catch+
ing There is not another catcher in the
American League who works harder than
Schmidt during a game. and when 1t Is
taken into consideration the hard fight
we had to win the pennant and the strain
that my men were laboring under at all
times, it is easy to see why any man
was likely to fall down in those trying
games. My aim- was to win the cham
pionship. and I would have given a great
deal to do SO. but I have no excuses to
Offer and next season we will be trying
just as hard as ever to win the pennant
and then if we get into another worlds
series they will see different article
of ball. l know that every one of my men
tried his best to win, and they all felt
just as bad about losing as l di. When

like the Tigers did that is all any man
can ask"
