THE PASSING OF PUaILIsM

MT. John Lawrence Sullivan, known affectionately and, perhaps, not unjust ly to that circle of strenuous American manhood in which he long has lived and moved and had his being as 'the grand old man of pugilism," thinks "the man. ly art of self-defense, as he was font to call it in the halcyon days now dead and gone beyond recall, is playing out" and the once proud title, ''cham- pion of the world,'' bauble nowadays of small import indeed, and unworthy the serious effort of real fighter and defender of the fistic faith.
 MT. Sullivan thinks the last real good fight in this country was the one be- tween himself and MT. Jake Kilrain, an arena argument that continued for near one hundred rounds, was held in drizz- ling rain, and with bare knuckies. From that yroud day to this the pugilistic scienGe has steadily degenerated, until now in the Id warriors philosophy, 1t has dwindled to molly coddlish and un- pret,ntious dimensions more to be pit isd than scorned. Mir. Sullivan ayers that the present day set-to has come al- most to resemble pillow fight; and that a feather-bed platform, pneumatic chest protectors, and so forth and so on, are things even now lowering on the horizon and fated 500 to become a rec ognized part of the game.
 AS much, however, as We have been moved to admire MT. Sullivan, his phil osophical turn of mind, his physical prowess, and his unchallenged honesty of professional conduct, we cannot share his sorrow and regret that prize-fght- ing is passing into the sere and yellow, and is scheduled for an early landing in the realm of romance and song. There are some few things on this earth from which we feel aeundantly able to dis associate ourselves and suffer no subse- quent remorse. Despite the few orna- ments that may or may not have cropped out here and there in the mak- ing of pugilistic history, we shall see its finish without one sigh or vain re- gret. For the most part. the game is as crooked as corkscrew, and uncle vating at its best. That any man is better or was ever made better because of it, nobody will seriously assert. Its elimination should not, and certainly will not, upset one career of importance or wreck one dream of greatness worth the moment of time wasted in it's con- ception.
 Let the prize fighter pass into obliv- ion. His passing will mean good rid dance of bad rubbish!

WHAT SHALL WE EAT?


 The problem of proper feeding grows more and more complex as the years go by, 1t seems, rather than more easy of solution, as one would be inclined to wish 1t might. We are warned against meats on peril of apoplexy; we are warned against strictly vegetarian diet on peril of muscular degeneration. And the germs-oh, the germs! These we have with us always.
 What shall We eat for breakfast, say7 We confess We shy at those mushy con- coctions known generally by the some what comprehensive name of "cere- als." They may be all they are cracked up to be in the plausible advertisements we read about them in the magazines. We do not say they are at all bad But they appeal not to our digestive equip ment, and cngender within us not one spasm of gustatory desire. Neither do we incline to that other extreme that puts fried steak, ham and eggs, buck wheat cakes, and what not of such per suasion into the human stomach, regard less of quantity of depressing effects.
 It is true the breakfast-food faddists are enabled to bolster up their cause with the opinions of physicians of re- pute and unquestioned standing. But so are those who affect the other school Indeed, n, less parsonage than Dr. Woods Hutchinson, medical expert and lecturer ,n the New York Polyciinic and the Lordon Medical Graduate College, says:
 "A Areakfast diet of sausage and
 buckwheat cakes, with maple sirup
 and stros,g coffee, has carried the
 white man half around the world,
 while one ot cereals would have left
 him gasping in the first ditch he
 came to-
 We suppose this is matter largely for individual decision, but insofar as it may relate to mankind as whole we suspect sensible compromise will land us as near the desired goal as We may hope to get. We should not live entire ly to eat, to be sure, but neither should we eat entirely to live. We opine the good Lord would not have given us ap- petites had we not been expected to pander to them temperately and wisely. So, if the inner man craves pork chop and boiled potato these frosty mornings, say them not nay if able to approach the task of assimilation in caimness and devoid of all misgiving. There may come times when the Seer eal'' alone tempts the sense of taste to pleasant attention. If so, make thy breakfast on the same, for "a little sawdust now and them may be '.rel- ished by the wisest men,
 If good Dr. Wiley may be permitted by the powers that be to continue his noble work of unmasking the falsely labeled things to eat, if there be no un- seemly interruption of the grand and uplifting crusade he has valiantly es- sayed to lead to victory or death, may hap we shall all ultimately reach the much-to-be-desired condition when we may eat pretty much what we please, when we please, and after whatever fashion we please. and suffer no sub sequent pang of remorse whatsoever.
