dot, the Los Angeles lightweight. defeat
ed Joe Rivers of Los Angeles in twenty
rounds of fierce fighting at Vernon yester-
day. Mandot had the better of every
round but three, and won the decision by
a wide margin.
Rivers seemed a mere novice in the
hands of Mandot. and showed to advan-
tage only in the infighting. In the clos
ing rounds Mandot even outfought him
in the cIinches. Rivers weighed in at
49, Mandot at 131.
Mandot solved Rivers defense early in
the bout, landing straight lefts to the
face almost continuously without a re-
turn. In the eighth he began rocking
Rivers head with right and left swings.

rounds he followed this attack. He show

by a hard thunderstorm that drenched
the players and slowed up the links. AT
the end of the day Howard Perrin or the

tied at 1854 for last place among the

Mexico and Red Trousers.
. the Manchester Guardian.

From the Manchester Guardian.
Most people think that the French are
the only soldiers in Europe to wear red
trousers. But we are now told that the red
trousers worn by the Austrian cavalry
are to be abolished. They have formed
part of their uniform for nearly half a
century. and are connected by a curious
cash-nexus with one OF the greatest his
torical dramas of the last century. They
go back to the time when the hapless
Archduke Maximilian went out to Mexico
as her emperor and, in compliment to the
French. who had put him on the throne,
decided to dress his new army after the
French style.
He placed large orders for red cloth
with some firms at Brunn and Reichen-
berg. These firms. however. had little
faith in the success Of the Mexican ad-
venture, and they refused to execute the
order unless the Emperor Francis Joseph
guaranteed the payment. He did, and
when the disastrous day of Queretaro,
just fifty-five years ago. ended the brief
rule of Maximilian. Francis Joseph found
himself in possession of enormous guam
titles of red cloth. Just at that time the
war of 1868 had depleted the stock in the
clothing depots of the Austrian army,
and so, without further ado, a cabinet
order was issued to clothe the limbs Of
the Austrian cayalrymen in red trousers.

THE SOUR MILK FALLACY.
Bulgarian Lactic Bacillus Does De
stroy Putrefactive Bacteria.
From the New York Sun.

From the New York Sun.
Since Metchnikoff published his re-
markable researches on the germicidal
properties of the Bulgarian Tactic acid
bacterium, and startled the world with
the theory that old age may be deferred
by destroying the putrefactive micro
organisms abounding in the intestinal
canal. and to which he ascribed proper
ties hithertao unknown and undreamed
striven to utilize the discovery Tor
the benefit Of mankind, chiefly them.
selves. A number of preparations OF
sour milk, wet and dry. have been ex-
plotted, and the usual guilibility of the
public has made them financially sue
cessful Fortunately little if any harm
has been done: perhaps many have been
benefited by renewing acquaintance with
the lacteal fluid which gave them the
first start in life. and others have d.
minished the quantity Of alcohol to which
their stomachs have been accustomed by
assuaging their thirst with buttermilk to
prevent hardening of the arteries 1t
would seem therefore an ungrateful
task to destroy the happy illusion that
sour milk contains the Tactic acid baciiii
which kill intestinal putrefaction and pro-
long life. The Sun must tell the truth,
however.
Dr. j. c. Clark read a paper before the
American Medical Association. which is
Journal, in which he demonstrates prac-
ticaIly what the experiments of White
and Avery showed three years ago. that
the true Bulgarian Tactic bacillus Is the
only Tactic acid bacillus that destroys
intestinal putrefactive bacteria.
In the treatment of the intestinal dis
eases of children. summer complaints,
he failed to neutraljze putrefaction with
several acid bearing bacteria prepara-
tions obtained from vaunted sources, but

lactis Bulgaricus. from Johns Hopkins
Hospital. which had imported it from
the Pasteur Institute. he failed not in
single instance. DIR. Clark reports
that without change of diet the most
severe types Of intestinal diseases which
had resisted the action of other highly
valued remedies, including a favorable
environment, yielded at once to the true
Bulgarian bacillus. He concludes that
..the negative results previously OBJ
tanned with the various other dry cul-
lures were unquestionably due to the
small numbers of the true Bulgarian
bacterium in the tablets which contained
chiefly paralactic acid bacilli." The
latter would in common parlance be
called ''near Tactic acid bacilli.''
The lesson from this unbiased investi-
cation would be to avoid taking the
vaunted preparations, and to depend on a
physicians prescription and reliable
druggist for filling it.

shooting expeditions will be planned for
the king, while the queen will follow her
favorite relaxation of visiting places Of
interest in the ceshborhood, in company
with her hostess. The area embraced by
these plans will be considerable owing to
the greater range of travel which has
generation by the development of motor

regulations for insuring the safety of
ships, crews passengers and cargoes.
The idea has arisen from the wreck of

that If similar precautions and similar
