ANTIQUITY OF FAXED FOODS
Pliny Tells Of the Authorizations Prao-
tised In Ancient Rome-Wlnes
Often Were Doctored.

So much is heard of pure food laws
one is prone to assume that the abuse
in question is a result of modern con-
dtions of trade and competition. Such,
however, Is not the case, for the Greeks
and Romans complained as bitterly
as the man of today of the adultera-
ton of their food.
In Pliny is found an account setting
forth how the bakers of Rome were
wont to mix with their dough a white
earth, soft to the touch and sweet to
the taste, thus turning out a foodstuff
that had weight and fine appearance.
but little food value.
Pliny also touches upon wine adul-
iteration. He assures us that not even
the rich Roman noble could be sure
that the wine he purchased was pure.
Moreover, the famous wines of Faler-
no were doctored, and wines from Gaul
generally esteemed to be the best
were as a matter of fact artifcially
colored by aloes and other drugs.
Much complaint was made in Athens
touching wine adulteration, so that in
time it became necessary to appoint
special inspectors with a view to put
ting an end to the evil.
There was one wine merchant
named Canthare. who was so skillful
in the matter of adulteration that his
name actually became synonym for
the expression "clever deceit" Can
thare's long suit was in imparting the
favors of old age to new wine.
And so on. Throughout Europe,
from the tenth century onward. are
found numerous instances of food
adulteration in general practise by
bakers, brewers. winners, etc. The
tricks of the trade were originated
more than 1000 years ago.

LEHTo VS.. oRDEMANN.
Local Wrestler Will Work Out With
Young Miller.

Karl Lehto, the well known Finnish
wrestler. has made arrangements to go
to st. Paul in the near future to work
out with Young Miller in preparation
for his coming match with Henry Or
demann. generally recognized as the
American champion, outside of Gotch.
Joe Carr, a runner-up for the middle
weight championship. will also assist
the copper country man, who expects
to learn some of the finer points of the
game from these opponents. 1t is ex-
pected that the experience he receives
will enable him to put up great
match against Ordemann.
Upon his return to st. Paul from the
copper country, Young Miller issued a
sweeping challenge for a match with
Henry Gehring. undisputed champion
of the middleweights 1t is almost GER
tain that the match will be arranged
for st. Paul the latter part of the
month or early in February. A victory
for Miller would give him the middle
weight title i'm addition to the welter-
weight honors which he now holds.

SPORTING EDITORS NOTES.

For the eighth successive time Car
ray Hermann has been elected to the
presidency of the National Baseball
commission.
The commission has passed a rule
prohibiting worlds champions from
playing any games after winning the
coveted title.
The Boston Nationals are now re-
ferred to as the Rustlers. Last year
they were known as the Doves. Some
difference.
The schedules in both big leagues
will open the same day and each
league will play 154-games.
The largest ball player that doth
perform is thought to be Julian Cas-
ullo. first baseman of the Almendares
team of Havana. Senior Castillo
weighs 262 pounds. and is one speedy
boy despite his size.
In Philadelphia the fans are begin
ming to believe that Dygert failed last
season because he pitched all winter
at New orleans and had nothing left
i'm the spring He's doing the same
trick again this winter.
The Boston Nationals, Il is said.
will play Tcnney on first next season.
and Bud Sharpe will get the hook.
Bin Sweeney may go to second, but
why not keep him at short when Davy
Shean is so clever on the middle bag

WHITE HOPE is DEFEATED.
Former Policeman Defeated BY Negro
at New York.

New York, Jan. 9.--Another hope
of the white race" went down to defeat
at the National Sporting club last
week Louis Williams was his name
Some time ago he appeared in vaude-
Vile as "the masked heavy weight
marvel, the only white man who VIII

than six feet in height, with long legs
and tremendous reach. Manager o.
Rourke dug up negro boxer named
Bog Scanlon, to test "the marvel" Will

round. In the second the white man re-
turned the compliment by flooring the
negro with n wild swing on the jaw,
but the latter leaped 10 his feet and
had the marvel groggy I'm an instant.

Another Panacea.

A physician of some note has just
announced another panacea for all the
ills humanity is heir to. 1t consists
simply of sunshine. 1t must, however
fall upon the bare skin. Among the
fiiictions which IL is said to have
cured by this means are tubercular III
cerations, skin diseases, old cuts and
sores and obesity. "An abdomen
triple plated with adipose tissue will
melt like snow under the caresses Of
the sum-" II is declared. ITO take a
sun BATH" the doctor explains, lit suf
fees simply to stretch ones self com
pletely unclothed in the direct rays
of the sun, taking care always to pro
tect the head, and above all the back
of the neck. There must be no inter
mediary between the skin and the
sunlight, for the chemical power Of
the solar rays is completely nullifled
by clothing and by glass. The inclina
ton of the rays is also important;
when they fall perpendicularly their
action is much greater; oblique rays
glance, on the contrary, from the sur
face of the skin, and are without eff
feet"

WOULD PLACE HOCKEY ON
ACCREDITED SPORT list

Ann Arbor Mich, Jan. 9.-Thirty
hockey enthusiasts held an enthusiast
tic meeting here Saturday and made a
strong bid for hockey as varsity
sport at the University of Michigan.
They were largely men who have been
members OF amateur teams in the up
per peninsula and from Canada. who
are adopts at the game and VINO could
be counted upon to give the Wolverine
school a pretty respectable start of
seven.
A squad of players will work out
this week, and IL is possible that teams
will be picked at this time TO represent
the different classes of the university.
When the material has been tried
out there is a movement on foot to
make a strong bid To the athletic au-
thorities to have hockey placed on the
list of credited varsity sports. When
this step is taken outside games will
be scheduled. If the movement is pre-
c'pitateC soon 1t may mean that this
winter will see a Michigan hockey
team i'm action, playing eastern and
western college aggregations.

PENNSYLVANIA PLANS TO DROP
WOLVERINES AFTER THIS YEAR

philadalpaia. Pa. Jan. 9.-The ath-
Ietic association of the University Oh
pennsylvania, at a secret meeting
,o,y DAVIS ago passed an eligibility rule
which will prevent all but academic
students taking part in any varsity
events.
This rule. which was passed at the
supgestion of DR.. Carl Williams, means
that Penn again will take its place IN
the big four football games, ana
practically all games with western
colleges after next fall, will be elimin-
oted. After next year there VIII be
M Michigan Penn football game, but
instead will be substituted Harvard
Penn game.
There are two reasons for the new
rules. The most important Is that
Penn wishes to compete with Yale
Harvard and Princeton on the gridiron,
the second because experience mas
Taught that games with the western
colleges are not a success financially
and fail absolutely when IL comes 10
claiming the championship i'"'""''
eleven for Penn when the hardest
game of the year is with Michigan
(which has not matched strength with
Yale, Harvard or Princeton.
The drastic effect of the new rule
is best shown by the fact that OF the
twenty Pennsylvania athletes who re-
ceived their letters last year, eleven
are special course" men being either
i'm the medical or engineering branch
of the college. These men are the best
athletes i'm the college. They are:
Ramsdel Marks. Radyear, Wolferth
Kaufman. Sommers, Mercer, Kennedy
Young Keough and Harrington. Al
but three of these men had planned 70
return to college and take an ac-
tive part in athletics.
The new rule will take effect Nov
emlber 80 this year, which allows the
special course" men to take part II
all events until the end of the athletic
year OF 1911.
