friends he never will fight again, and
Weighing close to 800 pounds. the coll
r heavyweight champion of the
world sailed from Liverpool Monday
for America. 1t is not OF his own
volition he is making the homeward
trip. The serious sickness of his
wife. who is dangerously i'll with tu-
~pecculosis. has made it Imperative. for
the champion to cancel foreign en-
gagements and return as quickly as
possible.
The champions big racing car and
a machine of foreign make which was
purchased abroad. have arrived at his
Wabash avenue home in charge of the
c~laufteur. who toured foreign coun-

mat Jack will open a cafe on the
south side and devote his time to that
on his retirement from the ring.

pug!lism have been in circulation be-
fore. but positive information to this
erect did not reach his friends in the
colored belt until Monday, and they
are at a loss to explain his action.

when he was far from q champion
cannot explain his action, for they
ocllete there are several good fights
Islt IN nm. At every place where
the colored people co~ngregate. little
groups of the champions admirers

Johnson'S action.
Not since the palmy days OF Joe

in retiring the hopes of Chicago's

HOW TO KEEP POULTRY FREE FROM LICE

One Of the most difficult problems
which the poultry keeper has to meet
is that Of keeping his poultry houses
and stock reasonably free from lice.
mites and other external parasites
In keeping a poultry plant free
from lice there are two points of
attack: One, the birds themselves:
the other. the houses, nest boxes,
roosting' boards, etc. e,
In using any kind of lice powder on
the birds themselves, it should always
be remembered that a single appli-
cation of powder is not sufficient.
When there are lice present on bird
there are always unmatched eggs of
lice ("nits') present, too. The proper
procedure is to follow up a first appli-
cation Of powder with. second at an
interval of four days to a week If
the birds are badly infested at the
beginning 1t may be necessary to make
still third application. To clean the
cracks and crevices of the woodwork

most desirable form Of application.
A splendid lice powder may be made
at a cost Of only q few cents a pound
In the following way: Take three
parts Of gasoline and one part of crude
carbolic acid: mix these together and
add gradually with stirring, enough
plaster of Paris to take up all the
moisture. The liquid and the dry
plaster should be thoroughly mixed
and stirred so that the liquid will be
