New York, Dec. 1S 1t is safe
to say that never in our history as
a nation has there been a spo rting
event which has aroused such wide
spread interest as the coming fight
between James effries and John
Johnson, writes DR.. Walter Peet
in the World.
Looking at the men specifically,
Jeffries seems more symmetrical
and more pleasing to the eye be-
cause Of Johnson Is high shoulders.
behind which the large muscles
of the back are piled up and which
robs him of that graceful poise
which we see in so many Of our
athletes.
But those high shoulders, with
the masses of muscle in front and
behind. are. there strictly for bust
ness. and while not so agreeable

on the great day.

BIG BOOST FOR GOOD RoAcs
Plan 10 Hold q Monster Meeting In 81.
Paul In December.

Plan TO Hold . Monster Meeting In 81.
Paul In December.
Unless something unforeseen occurs
st. Faul will probably entertain some
time next December the biggest good
roads meeting ever held In Minnesota
or the surrounding states. George w.
Cooley. state highway engineer. Is
planning on such meeting. and If the
necessary arrangement can be made.
a. now seems probable. it will be held.
The idea of holding a monster good
roads meeting was conceived by Mr..
Cooley after the meeting recently held
in st. Paul, to which the county COM
missioners as well as others interested
In good roads were invited. This meet
ing showed the widespread interest
taken In the matter throughout the
state. He expected between 100 and
200 to attend. but the attendance grew
to about 500. says the st. Paul Pioneer
Press. The same feeling has been
shown In the meetings which he has
addressed in the smaller towns
throughout the state the farmers COM
numbers and showing an active inter
est in the good road problem.
IF the meeting Is held it will cover
the field thoroughly" said Mr.. Cooley.
1T will he an exposition Of .roadmak
ing machinery and materials. with
practical talks by men of wide expert
ence in the various details Of the work.
In a large meeting Of this kind much
better results can be obtained than by
the smaller local meetings because in
such a meeting as we expect to hold
the manufacturers will have exhibits
Of all kinds Of machinery used in road
making, and we can have speakers Of
wide experience at such meeting
which is impossible for all of the
smaller meetings. A question box
would be feature. and through this
means any one confronted by special
problems in roadmaking would be
able to get the advice of the men quail
fed to give it.
II have not yet decided definitely or
mand for such meeting. and if 1t
can possibly be done the plans will be
carried out"
Mr.. Cooley's plan is to eliminate the
''hOt air" talks about good roads gen
orally and to make it an instructive
meeting by having men so to st. Paul
who know about the practical details
Of rOadmaking. Those who will go
will do so for the purpose of learning
something about the building of good
roads, and it is the intention to meet
this expectation fully. The meeting
will probably last one week. The eX-
hibits will cover stone crushers, road
rollers. steel and concrete bridge work.
culverts and all sorts Of machinery
and material used in road building.

Heart toHeart
Talks.
JUST JIMMIE'S WIFE,"
BY EDWIN A. NYE.


JUST JIMMlE'S WIFE,"
A newspaper sketch shows two chill.
dren. a girl and a boy. They are be.
ing interviewed by a woman. This is
part Of the conversations:
"And what do you expect to make
Of yourself, Maud, when you grow
up?"
Maud-Just Jimmie's wife. ma'am.
Which was a cute rejoinder-and
more.
Maud may change her mind when
she grows up. Our childish ideals
change sometimes. Certainly when
she is grown up she will be less frank
to say she Is going to be Jimmie's
wife. whatever she may feel about 1t.
But the wisdom Of childhood caused
Maud to choose the better part. Be.
cause
II Jimmie proves to be the right sort
and If he Is to do his best he must
have Il good wife. What Jimmie is to
do and be will depend largely on jim
mics wife. He will need Maud to
make n man of him. And, in making
man Of Jimmie. Maud will have her
hands and heart quite full.
Mighty important, lust Jimmie's
wife"
OF course 1t is hard to predict. When
Maud grows up she may have special
talents for something else, or Jimmie
may not suit her or she him. But,
other things being equal, each will
know when the time comes.
And Maud can aspire to no higher
position than being Jimmie's wife.
If she holds to her girlish choice and
they choose each other no greater
crown of happiness can come to her.
Woman was made for wifehood and
womanhood, and she finds her highest
satisfactions in fulfilling her destiny.
The abundance of her being demands
husband and children upon whom she
may lavish her love.
She who misses this misses abun-
dant life.
And if Maud marries Jimmie, besides
filling the measure of her own normal
desire. she will have great chance to
do for Jimmie
The gentle influence. subtle, but
strong, of woman. working by and
through the man she loves. is the pow
err that moves the world. More than
that. it is the power that SAVES the
world

Sailing the Cows.

A supply of salt available whenever
the cows want it is necessary to main
tain a high yield Of milk. Salt stimu-
lates the appetite and assists diges-
ton and assimilation, which increase
the flow Of the fluids Of the body. Salt
ing feeds for dairy cows once a week
is not sufficient. 1t is a good plan to
keep rock salt under shelter where
the cows can get at 1t ut will and then
feed loose salt once a week in such
quantities as the cows will eat. Loose
salt may be used exclusively If 1t can
be sheltered from rain. 1t is not best
to mix salt with feed, for frequently
the cows will get more salt than they
need, which will reduce the dow.

TIE WOMEN OF SWEDEN.
Great Changes In Their Mental and
Physical Training.

In no direction have the recent
changes in the Swedish wOman's posi-
ton been more thorough than In their
education, and now many girls are
qualifying to start life on their own
account. In 1870 the universities of
Sweden. Upsala and Lund opened their
doors to women and allowed them both
to matriculate and to follow the pro-
fession of a physician. Since that date
the number OF women who have taken
advantage Of the permission has been
steadily increasing and would be
larger still but for the heavy fees OF
the girls high schools, which make
education SO expensive that students
generally prefer the higher Training
College of Lady PreceptOrs. which
gives instruction free Of cost. The ex-
penses Of the studies connected with
the medical profession and the long
course from seven to nine years. which
It involves from the time of matricula-
ton have been great dra wback to
women, while the requirements are
higher than for any other medical de-
gree in the world. Nevertheless a fair
number are finishing their studies.
while many have duly qualified and
are practicing physicians. They have
already won laurels. DR.. KarOlina WI
derstrom being one Of the most re-
nowned gynecologists in Sweden.
The women Of all classes take an in
terest in politics. and there Is strong
and increasingly powerful suffrage par
ty in the country. The press is on the
side Of the suffragists, and magazines
give friendly accounts Of their doings.
We read that with the exception Of
England the suffragists Of Sweden
have without doubt worked more i'll
defatigably during the past year than
those Of any other country. Their
work has been characterized by intel
ligence. patience. courage. dignity and
unyielding determination. The cam
paign has been grand one"
That 1t Is likely to be a successful
one us well is proved by the fact that
six bills dealing with women's suf-
frage were introduced last session into
the Swedish parliament. Over a hun.
dred suffrage societies exist In the
country. all being affiliated to the Ma
tional Association For Women's Suf-
frage ut Stockholm. The members are
interchangeable and give up their spare
time to travelling over the country,
holding meetings. distributing litera.
ture and organizing generally. One
lady. a board school teacher. recently
covered $50 miles on foot in the most
isolated districts. where she addressed
public meetings and spoke privately
to the women in outlying places. The
Swedish women have great future
before them. and their sterling COM
mon sense. which is the basis Of the
national character. will be Of great
value to them in shaping 1t.

FEEDING SWINE.
Some Mistakes That May Account For
Failures In Raising Them.
BY J. L. STRATTON.

BY ]. L. STRATTON.
1t Is mistake for one inexperienced
to undertake the feeding Of hogs un.
less he expects to make study of it
and improve upon his mistakes.
1t is mistake to try to raise hogs
on an exclusive diet. You ask what
kind Of feed to give them. l will ask
what kind Of feed can be produced
on your farm and in your locality; then
give them a variety Of it. These feeds
should be given in such relation to
each other as to meet the varied needs
Of the swine system.
1t Is a mistake to forget that the
hog is grazing animal.
1t is a mistake II the hog Is not fed
In clean place, free from both dust
and mud.
1t is a mistake to overlook or un-
derfeed.
Ordinarily 1t is a mistake not to feed
the liquid before the solid food.
1t Is mistake to feed constipatina
food and nothing to correct 1t.
1t is a mistake to feed all sizes to-
to disadvantage.
1t Is mistake not to provide the
herd with comfortable quarters at all
times. Failure in this will impair the
usefulness Of the feed.
1t is a mistake not to grow the pigs
rapidly from birth to market. They
should gain every pound possible on
the way.
1t Is a mistake to feed the brood
SOW much corn before narrowing. She
should have cooling and laxative foods.
1t Is a mistake to feed her heavily
for some days after narrowing.
1t is mistake to feed her pigs sour
milk when they are learning to eat.
1t is a mistake to fail to feed the
pigs bone and muscle forming mate
rails during their growth.
