FEEDING

Does it pay to feed babies on ,he
breast or bottle? Here are some in
terestins figures. During the siege Of
Paris in 1S7o-71 the city milk sup
ply failed and mothers were compelled
TO nurse their babies. The death rate
among babies fell from $40 10 ITO
per 1000 births, In England during
the Lancashire cotton famine mothers
remained at home and nursed their
babies, and there resulted an even
greater saving Of infant life. Where
ever mothers nurse their babies it
is found that the breast fed baby has
six chances of living where the bottle
fed baby has one.

BAT NELSON COMES
BACK But LOSER

New York, Nov. 29.-Although
shaded by Leach Cross here yesterday
Nelson. former lightweight
gave the most thrilling ex-
gibition Of stamina. durability and
aggressiveness ever seen In any ring.
The great old tow-headed Dane.
fighting the most dangerous light
weight in the Eust, rushed into each
round with an abandon never equal
ed by even himself In his seventeen
years experience as . prize fighter.
He took Cross terrific punches with
q grin, gave back blow for blow and
at the end OF the battle was rendered
an ovation by the throng Of frenzied
fight fans In attendance.
The battle was one Of the most
fiercely fought In the history OF New
York boxing. First Nelson went Into
the lead; then Cross gave him fear
full drubbing In the second round and
for a while it looked as II the Hedge
wick king had reached the liiait Of
his iron clad endurance. But he came
back In the third. fresh and vigorous.
and forced Cross first to cover, then
to back away from the showers OF
blows sent to every part Of his body
by the former champion.
Both Nelson and his manager.
John r. Robinson. staked everything
In a last desperate gamble by meet
ing Cross. II Nelson was badly beat
en-, the pair stood to loose twelve
matches already made. II Nelson
made a favorable showing, he was as
sured OF string Of fights from coast

ming one and Nelson now seems even
more popular than when he was
champion Of the world.
