THE chief cause of high infant NOR
tality is ignorance" says Miss Flora
Rose, professor of the department OF
home economics of Cornell university.
It's mothers ignorance may sign a
child's death warrant The cure for
this must be educational. Our educa-
tional system should consider every pu-
pill as a potential parent"
At Cornell students preparing to teach
are given courses on the care of feed
ing of babies and hygiene, says Miss
Rose. They also learn of the reproach
of heredity to the health of a hid, the
necessity of revering the body as the
host of the next generation, and are
taught much concerning disease, abnor-
NAL industrial conditions and legisla-
ton affecting parents, and through them
the children.

down some nice little remembrances,
such as Christmas cards. etc, which can

The semi-fnal bout will be of six
rounds, the same as the star bout, and
it will nave Marty Rowan. of Brooklyn,
and Jack Philips, of New York, as the
principals. Three preliminaries and a
wrestling bout will complete the bill.
The wrestlers will be Pandella, the
Greek, and Neil Oleson, the two heavy
weights who had such a sensational
bout last week that 1t nearly ended In
a fist fight. They have been booked for
a return engagement, and as 1t is a

tended to twenty minutes to give them

weight, who meets Frankie Burns, the

Club Tuesday night, they know him by
reputation. For the past three years
he has been considered one of the
best lightweights in the game, and he
has met nearly all the stars. He is at
present in his best form, as is in
stanced by his wins this year over
Owen Moran and Leach Cross and his
more recent draws with Harlem
Tommy Murphy, Abe Attell and
frankie Smith. The latter Is one Of

scalp. He was the first mar to chal-
lenge Wolgast after the Michigan
wildcat won the title from Battling
Nelson. Baldwin has already met the

enough to be the recipient of a much

toppled to the floor, limp. 1t was the
first time in the fight he had been
dropped, and it proved to be the lest

power of his mighty right, cast one
glance at his PROSTATE foe and decided
that his task had been completed In

over the ropes. as fresh as when he

and was on the street while Smiths
handlers were resuscitating Their

both men were guilty of holding, al

last evening for San Francisco
with Choynski, with whom he
will box in that city tonight, former
Champion James j. Corbett reiterated
his belief that Jeffries is ready to go
into the ring tomorrow If he had to and
put up the fight of his life.
After his bout with Jeffries yester-
day Corbett turned to Mrs. Jeffries,
who had watched the fast three rounds,
and told her that she had no cause to
fear the outcome of the coming battle.
According to Corbett, and his opinion
is shared by all experts now at the
camp, Jeffries is rid of every pound of
surplus flesh and is as hard as nails
and ready to go any route he may be
called upon to go before the fight with
Johnson is ended.

Smith staggered Ketchel with two
left hooks to the jaw in the fourth, but
Ketchers vitality brought him back in
a twinkling, and for the remainder Of
the round he %outfought his man.
In the fifth Ketchel played heavily
for the body. Smith was growing
slower and missed many wild swings.
His fault throughout the fight was
poor Judgment of distance and mac
curacy. Ketchel forced his man to the
ropes. AS they broke at the referees
command and took the centre of the
ring Ketchel saw his chance. Smith
was trying to cone to a clinch, but
Ketchel met him with a right swing
that sounded like cracking in the head

he was still squirming on the floor

and never worried, although at the
