Frank Moran may have made seri-
Gus mistake in his training. Instead
of taking things easy while Willard
was not hurrying. he went through u
strenuous course of training at Sara

leved to have gone stale and Will have
to let up in his hard work.
Willard seems to have the right idea
about conditioning himself He is
gradually increasing the pace of his
preliminary work as the time for the
battle draws near. and even those crit
les who argued that he was too fat to
be able to get in good fettle now are
ealizing that the champion is grad
ually getting himself ready for the
fight of his life.
The chances are Willard will be every
bit as good on March - he was
when he tackled Jack johnson in Ha-
vana a year or SO ago. OF course. at
that time he was trained for finish
fight and had 10 resort to an entirely
different course of training than is
necessary for a round battle such
as the one with Moran will be.
Willard is better off right now, for
he is improving with every day. than
Moran. who. according to reports from
his training camp. seems to have over
stepped himself in an effort to get in
perfect condition weeks before the date

London, Oct. 2s.-The activities OF the
German submarine U-53 near the Ameri-
can coast and the general question of the
relations OF the United States to sub
marine warfare are matters to be con
sidered between the American and Ger
man governments, said Foreign Secre-
tary Grey in the House of Lords. He
deprecated discussion of these questions
and said il was for the American govern
ment to decide on the policy and action
required by the circumstances of the
case. Baron Beresford stated that the
action of American ships did not appear
to be quite within the bounds of neu
trality and that he thought the British
were bound to take notice of this fact.
The submarine question was brought
forward by Lord Sydenham, who asked
if the particulars OF the sinking of the
British steamer Stephano and the others
had been received and whether the cir
cumstances were in accordance with the
German pledge to the United States. He

FOUR-FOLD BENEFIT
From Two Grand Medicines-Hood's Sar'
saparilla, Peptiron Pills

You know that physicians often give
two prescriptions, perhaps more, for med
icines to be taken together, or alternate
ly or at different times.
One reason may be that the medicines
are "incompatibile"--do not agree when
closely mixed in taking--or that desired
results cannot be secured by one medi-
cine alone.
The most successful combination med.
icine treatment that we know of is in
Hoods Sarsaparilla and Peptiron Pills.
The former expels impurities from the
blood, creates an appetite and promotes
digestion and natural action of the kid
neys and liver, while Peptiron Pills give
the powerful tonic 49, they literally put
iron into your blood'-that Just balances
the requirement of perfect health.
Patients taking both report the bene-
fit is fourfold-prompt, positive and per-
Sold by all druggists.-Adv

How a Snake Swallows a Frog.

The method of swallowing is very
simple one, although if the frog be large
more than half an hour may be consumed
in the process. The two bones of the
lower jaw are separate and capable of
independent movement..so the reptile
loosens its hold upon one side of its jaw,
and, pushing that side forward as far as
possible, it drives the teeth in again and
draws the jaw back to its original posi-
ton. The result is that the prey is
drawn down by the movement. The proc
ess is then repeated by the other half of
the jaw, thus inevitably forcing the vic
tim inward. The snakes skin stretches
enormously and the jaw is, of course, dis
located, but the extensive ligaments hold
the bones together.

Note that the average production of

of milk. In order to make the production
of milk pay with such cows, supposing
we got So per 100 pounds for milk, it
would have been necessary to get 6,025
pounds from each COW or nearly 20 per
cent increase. Instead we accept $l,S5
for the milk and go on with the same
old cows, working for the manure and
milking for the fun of it.
What is the solution? Local milk pro-
ducers' associations, meeting with the
purpose of studying out such items as
above. Cooperation with the milk deal
ers to arrange living price and allow
the farmer money to improve his plant
and the quality of his product. The fact
that the Hood company has offered the
farmers 80 cents an S12 quart can at
Boston is ample proof of the justice OF
such demand and recognition OF the
power of the farmer if he will only act
IN cooperative way by means of asso
cations of this kind. When the farmer
has this chance he will invest money in
'ires whose dams have high production
'ecords nd thus will raise the production
VI his herd above the present average of
