Jess Willard is getting more in de-
mand every day, and there is plenty
Of money In sight to bet on him,
Jack johnson Is going back In the
betting and It is a difficult matter
to get u cent down on him. The odds
are still to on johnson, but the
market is at a standstill. Reports
from the training quarters Of both
men are naturally favorable, but it is
known that johnson Is fat and slow.
If Willard is half the man he is
painted he ought to win handily.

No Leisure, No Manners.

That it is AZ easy for the man or woman

;ntroduction of The AB-C of Good

Harper & Bros.
This little book tells us in all serious
ness that we should not eat with our

spots on our correspondence and that we
should not attempt to eat soft cheese
like Camembert and Gorgonzola with the
fnsers-all of which We fatter ourselves
10 have known sometime before the lit
tie book left the press.
But there is much in the book that
makes it well worth while. especially the
paragraph in the introduction written by
Maude Howe, which points out that after
all good manners are nothing but
habit Of being kind: that one can't be
polite and be in a hurry at the same
time and, by way of an example. that

And fruit that has come In contact with

So the first thing to do with fruit is to

from the vines. bushes or trees on which

If the berries must be kept some time
before serving. especially in warm
weather, do not wash them when they
are first received. as they sometimes be-

them away and hull them later.
