WILL 10
TO FINISH

Within less than four weeks Jack
Johnson and James ]. Jefferies, who
once gave up the championship title
for life Of ease on his alfalfa farm,
will step into the ring to settle the
question of physical superiority. Be-
fore an audience such as has never
before been seen at a ring side, the
two fighters will pummel each other
for glory and gold, and the best man
will win.
There will be awinncr and loser
OF that lovers OF boxing may rest
assured. There will be no draw
With two men of such tremendous
strength exchanging blows one must
succumb. 1t will not be a case of
LAY down nor will there be any
posing for the pictures. Jack John
son will take no "flops" as he did in
the Ketchel fight, ito make the films
good for II he does he will be dis
qualified and denied his end of the
purse. Jim Jefferies would not do
flop" for twice $101,0O0 nor would
he lie down for the count for ten
times that sum. A warning to the
California grizzly is unnecessary, des-
pite the suspicious to Fasteners that
something has been framed and that
the real battle will not begin. until
the pictures have been perfected.
jJhnson viii Have to Fight.
The fight so far as Jeffries is con-
cerned, will begin the moment he has
hroperly sized up his opponent. What
johnson will do Is matter of con-
lecture, but he will have to fight or
get hurt, financially, and perhaps
physically, for the thousands that
will crowd into the arena on Indepen-
dence Day will brook nothing that
looks shady
AS in all big battles, the Jeffrles.
Johnson contest Is not without its
fixing" and posing but the SANE
diagnosis should convince the most
skeptical that il would not be worth
while to fighter or to promoter to
fake. For instance, il the first ten
or twelve rounds were acted for the
picturesffv would the pictures be
worth? Compared with the expected

UNCLE SAM HAS HIS
EYE ON THE MILlERS
~ -
Believes People Of United States
are Being Poisoned In
Their Bread

Kansas City, Mo, June S.-The gov
ernment believes the food of the peo-
pie Is as important rs their lives, lib
elty or the pursuit Of happiness.
Hence the bleached flour case in the
United States district court.
Ever since the passage of the Pure
Food and Dug act the government
has had its eye on the millers. Pick
les, jam, peanut butter and baked
beans ought to be pure, no doubt, and
In time the government will get
around to seeing that they are, but
the bread Of the Nation Claims its
first attention.
There Is no specific mention OF
flour in the law passed by congress,
and consequently nothing can be
found in it regarding its bleaching
But there is good deal said about
the adulteration and misbl anding Of
foods. Flour Is food, bleaching BY.
the introduction Of poison is adulter-
on, misbranding is misblhnding.
That is the way the government rea-
sons, and there is its case against the
seized flour that Is being tried mere

Er. A. S. Mitchell, chief of the ST.

But How VIII They Fight.
Conjecture as how the giants are
going to fight is beginning to pick
up. That each man has mapped out
a tentative plan Of battle is hardly
probable, but ante-ringside plans
gang aft aglee' and the manner in
which they will fight will hardly re-
solve itself until they square off and
feel each other out. Johnson tipped
his mitt bit Saturday when, while
explaining his uppercut, he said: IF
Jcfferies comes close enough for me
III murdec him with right upper
cut
TO those who are familiar with the
negro's style of fighting, that means
that he Is going to put up his usual
defensive battle, waiting for his an
tagonist to come to him and take a
left jab o. one of the awful uppercuts.
1t remains to be seen whether he
can get sufficiently close 70 work
this punch on Jciferies. Big jim"
has been trying his famous crouch a
great deal and if he fights Johnson
as he did Fitzsimmons when he won
the championship the negro is going
to have hard time landing that up
percut.
If Jack can't land he's going to
lose heart and the moment he does,
something very much like runaway
engine is going to get after him.
The general explanation OF the
dopesters Is that Johnson will dance
around Jeff in the opening rounds,
cutting his face to pieces with
straight lefts. Then Jeffries, with
his marvellous strength and tremen-
dous punch will collect the money.
AT any rate it will all be settled July

TYPHOID TIME At HAND

The annual outbreak of typhoid fever
is about due. Within the next few
weeks the number of cases Of the dis
ease in the State will begin 20 increase
rapidly. and by the end of the summer
we will have hsd about ten thousand
cases of the disease and probably one
thousand deaths from il. She has had
typhoid for so many years that these
facts. striking as they are, fail to in
terest US, and yet when we consider
the enormous amount Of suffering and
sorrow and death. and the enormous
loss TO the State in dollars and cents, il
is appalling. The annual waste of at
least Sc. 0OO,C is needless and could
easily be prevented at trifiing expense.
The rules for prevention OF typhoid
fever are simple and easily understood.
and comprise no unusual features and
no unreasonable demands.
In order TO aid our citizens in carry
ing precautions into effect. the State
Health Department at Richmond has
prepared a series of bulletins and will
send the series bearing on ty-
pboid, dry closets, water supply and in
sects, together with rules FOR bedside
cases of typhoid. to any one desiring
them. IL our people can be taught to
intelligently put these precautions into
effect. typhoid will become an exceed
ingly rare disease.

100000 BABIES DIE YEARLY
Doctor Declares Lives Of HaIf Of

St Louis. May 23.-Nearly 300. 600
babies under one year Of age die every
year in the United States. according
to a statement made by DIR. J. H. Ma.
son Knox. j.. associate professor OF
pediatrics in the Johns Hopkins Medl-
cal school. OF Baltimore, in paper
read before the National Conference
OF Charities and Correction here.
But what was more startling than
thesea figures was his further state
ment that with proper care probably
one-half Of these deaths could be pre-.
vented. DIR. Knox said in -:
"A most significant feature OF the
civic life Of our generation is the de-
velopmeut OF the idea OF neigh <.rli.
ness. The two fundamental elements
In this relationship are real need and
adequate help. No class in our com
munity needs the ministration OF a
true neighbor more than the baby.
There are about 1.4O0. 900 infants
In the country under twelve months of
age, and about one-fifth OF this mum.
Der are expected to die within a year
Probably one-half OF these infant
deaths could be avoided
About 10000 babies die each year

the NEW ASSESSMENTS
Increase In Taxable Values All Over
The State.

Some information regarding the new
assessment Of real estate in the conn-
ties and cities of the State is coming in
1T the auditors Office in Richmond
principally from the officers of the
counties and cities visiting Richmond
on official business. The information is
not complete. hut serves to give an idea
Of the Increase which will be fixed in
every part Of the State. The figures
indicate that the average in the coun-
ties and cities will be about rs per cent.
Richmond will show an increase in real
estate valuation of about $l2, 0G0, 600
The revenues of the State now are
about Sc, 900. 900. and when the new as
sessment is available this will reach not
less than 81, SOC. 900. Ii is noted that IN
many sections the value of farm lands
has been raised to more than double the
valuation Of former years.
II is believed that the recent agita-
ton for q change in the system Of as
sessments Is responsible in large
measure for the increase in the values,
ghich have in the past been notoriously
low. The Judges have made il their
euty to impress on the officers the
necesslty for a fair and reasonable
valuation.
