Heat in Food Preparation.

Sn accustomed is civilized man 70
cooked foods that the important part
plaYed nv heat in the preparation of food
seldom occurs to enc.
Most people if asked as to the purpose
of heat in the preparation of food, wouid
readily answer to make it palatable.
Cnbaked or uncooked food would doapt-
less be palatable enough, had our tastes
not been formed by heredity and environ
ment. But in the case of mans foods
the application of heat to food also goes
a long way in helping the stomach. y
nutlitive substance is not always digcs-
tible one The heat puts the food IN CON
diton TO be easily asSimilated- TINS
is highly necessary when the burden We
daley place on our digestive systems is
considered,
1t is particularly true of wheat foods.
PLY siol0gists tell us that the inside OF a
loaf of bread never gets half enough neat
to break up the granules of starch 50 the
much of the starch-which is 70 per cent
Of the whcat-never digests. 1t is insol-
liable.
But rota5lc improvement has been made
in wheat food with an appreciation of
the need of heat The preparation of
interesting example. For this food, the
wheat is steam cooked for 6 hours-then
cured Then every berry is .fiaked so Thin
that the heat can act on every atom.
The berries are then toasted for 80 min
utes at 4Gd degrees.
This scientific process results in a food
that is wholly disestible, and il would be
pleasant to the taste without further
treatment-but its palatabilitv is Increased
by boiling the wheat with maple syrup.

BURNS ONE AMBITION
IS TO WHIP JOHNSON

Tommy Burns writes from Australia,
October 8. as follows 81 am writing
this on the train, going sixty miles an
hour, on my way to fill theatrical en-
gagement-four nights for $4,000 and
transportation for three. This will make
total of a little over $4,000 l have
earned in Australia up to the date Of
the johnson fight, and does not include
the moving pictures or transportation.
So you see this is pretty good for a
poor kid starting out with nothing.
"McIntosh, the promoter, is fine
fellow and honest. l think he is the
greatest promoter the world has ever
known. With purses, pictures and
transportation, it's costing him about
$40,50O.
johnson writes Burns, twill be
here about October 81. He says he is
going to stop me in twelve of the TWEEN
ty rounds. l put up $4,000 and guess
he won't cover it. That's the kind of
easy money I like. I won't bet much
on the result, unless / get some good
odds, but. believe me, IN fight for my
life to beat this black man, and Tn
sure / have it figured out so IN win.

TRIFLE PEEVED

TACOMA, Wash, December H.
Processing to have become tired of the
taunts of Ed O'Connell, the Multno-
nah Club wrestler of Portland, DIR. B..
F. Roller of Seattle announced yester-
day that he would agree to throw
O'Connell thirty times in an hour for
a side bet of $500, the match to be
held either in public or private. Roll
Ter holds the Portland grappler SO
cheaply that he is confident he can
flop him over every two minutes for
the space of an hour.
o'Connell beat Joe Heinrich of Spo.
kane two out of three falls short
time ago and is matched to meet M.
J. Dwyer, the man who taught Roose-
welt how to wrestle, at Portland next
week. Through the Portland papers,
o'Connell has announced from time to
time that he intends to meet Roller
some time this winter. Roller is ready
for the engagement any time o'Con-
nell says the word.

picture of him, as he saved the lower
main topsail they were trying to goose
wing. He took a gasket round and real
ly saved the sail, but he don't know
that he did anything extra. His name
is James Steel and when he wanted TO
go again, of course there was berth

The Battle for the Championship
A,sNs.AA,s.s = q = $ ,s.s 81 y 81
By Jack Densham.

doubt that he feels perfectly confident
of his own ability to whip Burns and
he must know that such a whipping
would open up endless possibilities of
theatrical and pugilistc engagements
for him. But, when one man is to
receive so huge an amount of money as
thirty thousand dollars for one appear
ance in the ring, there is no telling
what he can do in the way of fixing his
opponent
If there is no monkey business and
the fight is, as it should be, directly on
the square, johnson should surely win,
according to precedent. Precedent, of
course, is very unreliable at times, but
it does not seem reasonable that man
weighing more than two hundred, built
especially for fighter, with mighty
reach and terrible punch, should be
defeated by a man weighing some
twenty pounds less with much shorter
height and reach.
Burns has way of launching him
self at an opponent that is very effec-
tive with man of his own height. He
stands off little way and then seems
to hurl himself through the air with
wonderful accuracy and such speed that
the other man has little chance to
counter. Then. once on the inside of
his opponent IS guard, he starts series
of pounding stomach and kidney blows
that soon wear a man down~~
With all this rush of his and all of
his wonderful strength, / do not think
Burns can find the negro Is midsection.
If he does, he will soon worry Johnson,
for that is the vulnerable point of all
colored men. You might as well beat
an anvil with football as try to hurt
negro on the head, but their little
old solar plexus has always got some
thing weak about it, and that is where
they get theirs.
AS matter of fact, neither one of
the men has record of any great class.
1t is true that Burns has beaten them
all in the last few years, but they were
none of them big men and none of them
with any great reputation. Bill Squires
has the paper jaw, Gunner Moir made IT
hard for him, but was only the same
height and with less reach, while he
knew nothing of boxing compared with
the American-trained Canadian. He
has beaten Jim Flynn, but then so has
everybody else, and has also, by the
way, taken rafting good walloping
from one lawn Twin Sullivan, but that
was in 1905 and does not count.
Johnson has put Denver Ed Martin
Hank Griffin and Sam McVey to tn,
bad, all of them big and husky coloreC
fighters. He has also defeated a gooC
many minor stars in the East lately
but none to whom much kudos was at
taehed.
1t is barely possible that it will be {
runaway, with johnson sidesteppinl
and blocking and Burns boring in al
the time. In which case Burns will ge
the decision as sure as houses. But
do not think this likely. Johnson. j
he fights on the square, and / reall,
think he is sensible enough to do SO
will go in with determination one tim
in his life, and, sturdy as the Canadian
may be and much as we all want to SCI
him win. / feel bound to take the pes
simistical view of the situation ant
!. forecast win for johnson. Goodness
knows, / hope ! am wrong.
