 @ behind that mass of bone and

 idly I think the stamina will bs here.
 Jeffries never has fought a man big or as good as Johnson. This 5 saying good deal of the man who lethroned Fftzsimmons, but the John. son of today probably would have whipped the FitZsimmons who fell lnder Jeffries' crushing blows. It is true that Johnson never has whipped l man who was the equal of Fftz in his palmy days, but that Is because he never had the chance. Johnson never has been known as a great
 knocker out" Men who had any claim at all to class have stood him or, but Jack is loafer in the rina and has always seen fit to take it easy and go just hard enough to get the long end of the purse. Johnson also IS In the condition of his life.
 But this battle with Jeffries will be dlnerent. Johnson will have to make a last battle. He will have to worry Jeff with his speed He must make the big fellow use his legs. It would be suicide and the fight would be over Inside Of six rounds if Johnson at. tempted to rough it with the Alfalfa King He'll have to keep Jeff off for at least ten rounds and then peck him to pieces If he wins. To do this tc man who has never been knocked down will be hard task. Is Jack Johnson equal to it? The big bettors say he is not Their money is talk. ing.

For Proper Care of Tuberculosis.

According to the National Associa- tion for the Study and Prevention of Tuberculosis, New York state leads in the number of beds for consump- tives provided up to May 1, with 5,476 beds; Massachusetts is second, with 2,403 beds; Pennsylvania third with 2347 beds; Colorado fourth, with 1,4S9 beds, and New Mexico fifth, with 1,104 beds. As yet, not one state in the country has made adequate pro vision for it's consumptives. New York has set itself the task of having No uncared-for Tuberculosis in 1915,' and several cities in other parts of the country have adopted similar pro grams. The national association says that tuberculosis will not be stamped out until all Gases of this disease are cared for either in their homes or in institutions. With this end In view, efforts will be made to increase the number of hospital beds in this country to at least 35,000 by May 1, 1911.

 on San Francisco
 Even baseball with its thousand of followers has been forced to tal a back seat until July 4, when Jame J. Jeffries. retired champion, who re turns to the ring to win back th, glory for the white race, and Jacl Johnson, champion, meet for the worlds supremacy in pugilism.
 That it will be a great battle there is no doubt. Jeffries at his best never had a superior. Few persons who have followed the pugilistic game be lieve there ever was a fighter who could have whipped the Jeffries that trimmed Bob Fitzsimmons and Jim Corbett But right there is the ques- tion on which this fight hinges.
 Is Jim Jeffries the man he was in 1899. when he took the championship away from "lanky Bob" or in 1902. when he defeated the Cornishman a second time? Reports from Jeffries' training camp for the last month have said that he Is in the greatest of con. dition. Experts from all over the land have expressed their astonish, ment that the "big fellow" should have been able to bring himself to such rare form. Jim Corbett has been with Jeffries since May 2S and they have had some wonderful tilts with the gloves. Joe Choyinski, though much lighter, Brother Jack Jeffries and Bob Armstrong have tried their best to knock Jim out, so goes the re. ports, but he has been too much for them. Corbett's aim has been to give Jeffries speed and judgment of dis. tance. so easily lost by a man who has been out of the ring six years.
 When the match was made they said Jeffries would not be able to get into condition. But If taking of many pounds and hardening his muscles makes condition Jeffries has 1t. He

Farmers should eat more oatmeal.
 Although the farmer of today is able to buy almost anything he wants to wear or to eat he isn't paying enough attention to food values when it comes to his own table.
 If he has been watching the exten- sive researches and experiments on the question of the best human food for muscle and brain he will heed the advice from all sides to "eat more Quaker Scotch Oats."
 Quaker Scotch Oats is mentioned because it is recognized in this coun- try and Europe as the best of all oat- meals. Feeding farm hands on Quaker Scotch Oats means getting more work out of them than if you feed them on anything else.
