NEW YORK, Nov. 26.-Youns
Ahearn again has a chance TO earn

this battle will be In St Paul. Mimi,

be either Dec. 3 or Z.
The men will weigh in at 1853

scrap a strictly middleweight af-

OF the arrangement is that Ahearn
will receive $1,000. with the priv

Stars Oppose Each
Other in Unique
Contest

Frank Baker. the home-run king,
who Is expected soon to sign up for
big league ball next year, and Buck
Herzog, manager OF the Cincinnati
Reds, opposed each other in one OF
the most unique games In their ca
reers Saturday at Hillsboro, little
town near Herzog's home, In Caro-
line County. Maryland.
A little church owed a big debt
and the pastor was unable TO meet
the mortgage that was due In few
days. and which would probably be
foreclosed. He held church fair,
with only moderate success. and a
supper. which did little TO help him.
Finally, he hit upon plan---snd

away.
There Is great deal OF friendly
rivalry between Herzog and Baker
on the Eastern Shore OF Maryland,
they living within few miles OF
each other. and the pastors scheme
was to get them on opposite teams
as captains in "a baseball game,
which was advertised for miles
around.
The day arrived last Saturday. A
diamond was laid in q wheat Geld /:

the country band. composed of a

music from a wagon that was deco

ball players. while the crowd OF

PRIZE GUERNSEY HERD VALUED AT $6O,OOO, IS
 KILLED BY OFFICIALS

Y Chicago, Nov. 1O-A $6O.000 herd of prize Guernsey cattle, belonging to Mrs Scott Durand, of Lake Forest and condemned to death because of foot and mouth infection, was slaughtered yesterday afternoon under rather sen sational circumstances
 Sheriff Griffin of Lake county; arm ed with an order from Governor Dunne, locked Mrs. Durand and her servants in the farmhouse and read the order to hef Mrs. Durand pro tested that the cattle were protected by an injunction secured Saturday in a. local court, but the sheriff carried out his orders.
 The hoof and mouth disease struck the farm last summer and it was by means of an injunction at that time that the cattle were saved from ex- ecution.
 According to Mrs. Durand the sher- if and his men made certain the de- struction of the fancy cattle by first making herself and her servants pris- oners in the farmhouse at the point of rifles and shotguns. Talking over the telephone from her farm to a Chi cago newspaper, Mrs. Durand said:
 They even fired at me when [ tried to approach the barn.
 The Durand herd was one of the most valuable in the state and an- .nualIy was represented with prize winners at the national dairy show.

SHALL WE TOE IN
 OR TOE OUT?

Like the chi1d's toy house built with blocks. the foot stands when
 balance is maintained and becomes weak and wabbly when! a single block is moved sufficiently Ito disturb it's balance. In correct position the foot carries the weight of the body with wide margin of strength to spare Change the posture and the demand upon this reserve strength becomes often too great to be permanently bornei. The--foot is then under a strain. it tires, becomes painful and finally by yielding of the fragments, the shape of the foot is altered, it's efficiency is impaired and our whole physical being feels: the loss of a stable foundation. Body posture di- rectly influences the maintenance of foot comfort, and foot posture has a direct bearing upon correct attitude of the body. The old method of toe ing out, as taught to the recruits of the army in civil war times, was real 1y position of weakness. To utilize its power to best advantage the walking position of the foot should be with little or no outward pointing of the toes. In stan ding slight turn ing out of the toes is permissible To add to foot comfort, shoes should not cramp the ball of the foot and the heels should be low and broad to give stability without calling upon the muscles to- maintain. balance. Me chanically the. foot is a wonderful creation. but like all delicate me chanisns it must be kept in good condition and used intel1igently or it's efficiency disa ppears.
