Charley White, the Chicago knock
er out, soon to meet Welsh, showed
in his most recent fight-the one
with Milburn Saylor in Boston-that
he is not one-handed fighter and
disproved the claim of Freddy Welsh,
that the man who stops Whites left
will beat him.
White knocked SayIor out in the
first round and turned the trick with
a right punch.
White carries a deadly left hook
that has been advertised far and wide
until the impression was created that
the hook was all he had.
Every boxer White meets tries to
keep his right glove in front of his
Jaw to ward off the nerxe-deadening
hook. Saylor knew of that hook, had
even felt its sting in previous bout,
and was prepared to stop it. White
used his noodle. He switched to the
right hand and caught Saylor with
! the unexpected.
The quick disposal of Saylor re-
duced the average number of rounds
Whites knockout victims have last
ed with him to three and a half. Dur

NOT SUITABLE FOR THE NAVY
Would.B Be Sailors Hardly Understood the Duties Required of Fighters
 on the Ships of U. s.

They tell story about a certain secretary of the navy who had never seen ship, and who exclaimed, when he began to explore a man-of=wart Good gracious, it's hollowl" This is an unlikely yarn, but it is fact that there are people who apparently know as little about a ship as Sioux h. dian.
 Some weeks ago a man visited the receiving ship Wabash. lying at the Charleston tMass.) navy yard, and said he would like to ship, but would not enlist if he could not be given work to which he was accustomed. He was not enlisted, for he would be useless. He was a paperhanger.
 Another man went aboard and asked to see the captain. He was in- formed that that official was very busy. He then made his errand known to the officer of the deck. He wanted to enlist aud care for the cap tain's horse, for he was a stableman.
 Another wanted to enlist as ships roofer and once a gardener called to obtain employment. Flowers and gar dens are scarce on board of a United States man-ofwar, so he failed to en- ter the service.

 q am sixty years old, and have been a victim of nervous dyspepsia for many years. Have tried all sorts of medicines and had treatment from many physicians, but no permanent re- lief came.
 q used to read the Postum adver- tisements in our paper. At first l gave but little attention to them, but finally something in one of the advertise ments made me conclude to try Pos tum.
 T was very particular to have it prepared strictly according to direc- tions. and used good, rich cream. It was very nice indeed, and about bed time said to the members of the fam fly that I believed l felt better. One of them laughed and said. That's an- other of mothers notions, but the mo- tion has not left me yet
 T continued to improve right along after leaving off coffee and taking Postum. and now after three years use I feel so well that I am almost young again. I know Postum was the cause of the change in my health and I cannot say too much in it's favor. l wish I could persuade all nervous peo- pie to use it."

CHEAP MIXTURE FOR VERMIN
Formula Given by Pennsylvania State CoIiege-Should Be Kept on
 Hand the Year Round.

While there are many readypre- pared lice mixtures on the market, none are more effective than mix ture recommended by Pennsylvania State college. It may be made at home and is cheap.
 The formula is: Two and one-half pounds of plaster or paris, three-quar- ters of a pint of gasoline, one-fourth of pint of crude carbolic acid When the ingredients are mixed, one will have an effective lice powder that costs less than five cents pound. The mixture should be worked through a fine sieve. to break up Jumps and to get in such form that it will sift read fly.
 When it is first mixed it will be too wet to sift, but the gasoline will soon evaporate. The active principle in driving away the lice is the carbolic acid. To use the homemade prepara- tion, which should be kept on hand the year around one sits it over the birds the same as any other lice pow der.

BULLETS FOR WINTER LAYERS
Advisable to Select Those That Have Grown Rapidly-Hen in Action
 Needs Lots of Room.

In selecting bullets for this winters layers, it is advisable to choose those birds that have grown rapidly and well and those that show quality, as indicated by soft. pliable skin over the breast bone and abdominal cavity. In addition to these two considera- tions quality is further indicated by the texture of the head parts. The comb and wattles should not only be well developed but should have nice, smooth, velvety texture. A fourth con sideration in selecting the prospective layer is that of capacity. A hen in ac- tion needs lots of room. that is to say, room for the digestive and reproduc- tive organs. Such capacity is indicat- ed by good width between the pelvic bones and also good width between these and the rear end of the keel

BIeachino=Iinen

The linens of olden days were handed down from mother to daughter. but such is far from being the case to-day, owing to the difference in bleaching
 Where formerly it took months of sunshine and rain to bring about the desired whiteness, now it is done in two or three days by means of strong mineral gases whose fumes bleach, ac
 cording to their strength, more or less quickly. So it is not poor idea to buy linen which is not yet bleached white, as a few trips to the laundry will remedy this, and in addition it is cheaper. for the bleaching process is a costly one. Then. too. the use of tablecloths and sheets would be heightened, appreeiably, since over bleaching rots the fibers. This is why blouses seem to melt away in spots.

Are you an eczema sufferer? Do those ugly patches of eruptions start up and itch as though they would drive you frantic? And have you tried treat ment after treatment with, at best, only temporary relief? Then you are only going through the experience of thousands of others who at last found that resinol healed their sick skins for good!
 With the first use of resinol oint- ment and resinol soap the itching and burning usually stop, and soon all trace of eczema or similar torturing skin-trouble disappears, even in se- were and stubborn cases. Doctors have prescribed the resinol treatment for twenty years.-Adv.

Experiments at Dr. Pierces Hospital for several years proved that there is no other eliminator of uric acid that can be compared to it.
