Jimmy Dunn, prevailed upon the As
ISOLATED Press to transfer him to st.
Joseph, Mo, which is probably the
best known boxing center in this sec
ton of the country.
Glenn is still with the Associated
Press, and he has kept up his boxing,
with the result that he is more physi
cally fit to do his work, and all the
while he is making a real name for
himself as a fighter.
In fact Glenn has made such an i'm
preston on the fight fans of St. Joe
that he has been matched to meet
Mike" Sheehan, champion feather
weight of the Drummer town, on the
25th of this month, and if he wins
this fight he has been promised a
match with Morris Lux of Kansas City
next month During the winter he has
been training with such men as John
ny Salvatore, Kid Burns and Monte
Dale, a lightweight who has fought
Bat Nelson and most of the best fight
ers in the country of his class. And
ne has held his own with all of them.
The greatest amount of good the ex-
Topeka key puncher has gotten out
of his padded NIT punching has been
the improvement of his health, but it

future for him in the professional

MANY BASEBALL DIAMONDS
NOT LAID OUT PROPERLY

Chicago, Ill, Jan. 21.-Amend-
ment of the rules regarding the
laying out of a baseball diamond
is in prospect, according to a state
ment by John Heydler, secretary
of the National league who is here
to attend the big league schedule
meeting. According to Mr.. Hcydler
many of the big league diamonds
are incorrectly laid out, due to the
failure of ground keepers to under
stand the measurements which
were given in feet, inches and deci-
NAL fractions of an inch. 1t is
planned to simplify the method of
stating the measurement.

A PIN SMOKER
This being dull day, we will "fill
in with another personal trait. State
Senator Howe increases the pleasure
he gets out of smoking by the use of
pin. Being politician he has gone
up against his share of bum cigars in
his time, and it is a well known fact
that bum cigar never burns on the
square-that is, it never burns with
the same rapidity on all sides. And in
order to make a bum cigar burn and
look like a good one, the above men
toned editor-politician discovered
that he could make it burn evenly by
punching pin holes in the side that
burned leisurely. He has smoked so
many bum ones that the pin punching
has become a habit. and now no mat
ter if he is smoking a 2-bitter he al
ways punches it full of pin holes be-
fore he gets through. Toothpick
smokers are rather numerous every
where, but so far as is known Senator
Howe is the only prominent Topekan

 The final stage is the black rot" where no light at all can be seen through the egg. The egg has now reached the explosive stage, which makes il such a favorite mis- sile of the average boy.
 X perfect shell is one of the es. sentials of a good egg, because any crack or break in it will tend to let in all kinds of bacteria to hasten it's putrefaction. The egg, therefore, must be barded. not only by the condition of its contents, but by the cleanliness and soundness of shell as well.
 An egg that is so badly cracked that it's contents escape is termed a "leaker" A "leaker" not only will not keep itself but it may soil and injure a large number of eggs kept in the same receptacle with 1t.
 Checks" are eggs the shells of which are cracked. but the mem banes are still intact These, too are sure to rot quickly Even if their contents are perfectly fresh they cannot be kept for any longer period.
 The egg with dirty shell, nc matter how good it's contents may be. is unpleasant for the housewife 1 to handle and cannot be served in the shell. Washing dirty eggs ! however, hurts rather than helps them. for the reason that any Wa i ter put on an egg washes off some i of the protective covering which l the hen puts on the shell to make it more resistant to the entry ot germs. A washed egg Is shiny anG smooth, and lacks the powdery bloom of a clean, fresh egg that l has not been washed.
 One of the points in egg testing therefore, is to detect the egg whicf 1 has been washed to escape the | lower commercial grade assigned tC those with soiled shells, so that il may be used in cooking. Only the perfect, fresh egg should bt served at the table.

FOR THE INVALID.

Delicious broiled squabs, roast chicken, lamb chops, creamed sweet breads or roast mutton or beef are nourishing and usually acceptable in the sick room. Meat should al ways be piping hot when it is served to the invalid. It can be sent to them in a dish which is standing in hot water, and this hot water can be relocated over a spirit lamp if the meat is not steaming An occasional ragout or stew can be daintily prepared. The meat should be cut in small pieces and cooked very tender, and then served dain- tily surrounded with a trim ring of rice or diced vegetables or a garnish of minced parsley or sprigs of water cress Ham, pork and veal have no place in the invalid's diet Neither have croquettes or other fried meat. But, for variety, ground meat can be formed into small cakes, bound with egg, and Drowned in a broiler Most kinds of broiled fish can be offered-if 1t Is fresh.
