one of the individual clubs Will sug-
gest some form Of playing dates.
In WinOna 1t is not believed that
the mileage, in spite of the enlarge
men+ of the league insofar as territory
is concerned will be over 1000 miles
greater for each club than in 1913. But
to equitably adjust this problem will
probably be a work Of magnitude
when the moguls finally get together.
The revised constitution of the league
also is scheduled to receive considera-
ton at the hands Of the directors.
There are other propositions pending
which should make the meeting the
most important ever held on the cir
cult.
The meeting also is expected to
bring out a number of deals. The
trade Of Cy Dahlgren, pitcher, by Sill
perior. for Out1elder Thomas, of Con-
RAIDS Fort William club. is said to be
merely a. forerunner Of announcements
to be made at the gathering.
One of the other considerations that
is due to come before the maznates
Is the pooling Of grandstand receipts
on holidays. There will be opposition,
it is said, on the part of the larger
city clubs. They claim that the small
er towns of the circuit contribute too
small a part to this fund to permit of
their asking for a pool Of the grand
stand es well as the cheaper admis-
sions.

BEWARE OF -.
RAW PORK

Washington, Dec. 26,-The risk of
contracting trichinosis from eating
raw or uncooked pork is, according to
specialists Of the department OF agri-
culture, particularly great at the
Christmas season in certain sections
where persons are accustomed to pre-
pare special uncooked pork products
for holiday consumption.
The illness which ma result from
eating raw pork, known az trichinosis,
is caused by a. parasite or worm mi
%croscopic in size, which occurs in the
flesh of hogs. There is no known eff
fective method Of treating the disease
The patient dies or appar-
emily irrespective of the nature OF the
treatment In many cases patients
who have survived the acute stages
OF the disease rave had their health
more OF less permanently impaired.
Statistics based or microscopic in
spection OF over 5000, 900 hogs during
a period of nine years in this country
have shown that 1.41 per cent of the
hogs were infested with live trichinae.
This fact alone makes it important
that every one who eats pork should,
for the protection of health, eat 1t only
when thoroughly cooked. In this
country there is 10 inspection OF trich-
,inosis.
If triichinosis lis to be avoided these
rules should be observed:
First, refrain from eating pork in
the raw state, including dried or
smoked sausages, hams. and In fact,
any kind of meat products made up
wholly or in part OF raw pork.
Second, thoroughly Cook all pork
which is to be eaten.
The triehina parasites die and be-
come harnaless when exposed tn a

temperature of $40 degrees Tahren-
heit for r short time,
The following rule for cooking pork
by boiling is based OF careful expert
mcnts carried out some years ago by
q Danish Investigator: 90
Cook tho meat fifteen minutes
(summer) to eighteen minutes (win~
tori for each pound Of weight If put
into boiling water, keeping the water
boiling throughout the cooking pro-
cess. If The meat is put into cold wa
ter deduct half the time required to
bring the water TO a boil.
For instance a ten pound ham, if
placed in boiling water. should be boil
ed three hours.
A ten pound ham, if placed in cold
water and If one hour Is required to
bring the water to a boil, should be
cooked two and a half hours after
boiling begins.
In applying the rule given above tho
eighteen minutes per pound allow
anCe should be followed in summer as
well as in winter if the meat is taken
from a refrigerator and the cooking
begun before the meat has had time
to reach the ordinary house tempera-
turc. For high attitudes where the
temperature OF boiling water is con-
l~Eiderably less than at sea level the
time Of cooking must be heightened.

hit that pill.
Allen was taken from the Northern
before the close Of the season and
placed with the Miller association
team. He was traded to the Chicago
White Sox in the deal whereby Larry
Chapple was secured by Minneapolis,
and Immediately sold to Milwaukee.
The details of the transaction in
which Mr.. Kavanaugh secured the
big catcher from the Brewer club are
enough to the fans hat he has beer
secured without inquiring o closely
into the gifts that the Gods pro-
Vide" Besides being a catcher of
more than ordinary ability. he has an
arm that will brook of no stealing
bases, and is a hitter that is danger
Gus at all times.
Mr.. Kavanaugh states that he has
about five more men Of the same
caliber on the string and when he
lands them Grand Forks will be
lined up with a pennant winning
team.
And J. II, Ritchie, sporting editor of
The Minneapolis Journal, comes back
at Grand Forks as follows: ~ .
Grand Forks claims to have signed
Nicholas Allen, one of the Miller staff
Of catGhers. AS Allen is held under
