English Champ Beats Britton.

Ted" Lewis, wrested the Welter- weight championship from Jack Britton at Dayton, Ohio, last Mon day night, winning on a decision by Referee Lou Bauman of Cincin- nati, at the end of twenty rounds. Britton scored a knockdown in the last round, but it did not offset the lead Lewis had won in the earlier part of the title match.
 Lewis was credited with winning seven rounds. Britton had shade in five and the others were even.
 Referee Baumans decision was not the popular verdist, many be- lieving that the champions strong finish and the short right and left jabs to the jaw that sent Lewis to his knees in the twentieth round balanced the Englishman' early scoring.
 The new champion fought out a careful long range battle, evading Britton's boring-in tactics and eff forts at the body in which Britton

WONDERS OF HUMAN BODY
Every One Of 500 Muscles Should be
Exercised Daily to Keep One In
the Best Condition.

There are said to be more than g.
100000 little openings in the skins of
our bodies to serve as outlets for an
equal number of sweat glands. The
body contains more than 200 bones.
1t Is said that as much blood as is in
the entire body passes through the
heart every minute. 1. e., all the blood
in the body goes in and out of the
heart once every minute. The lung
capacity of the average person is
about 325 cubic inches, the Book of
Wonders instructs us.
With every breath you inhale about
two-thirds of pint of fresh air and
exhale an equal amount if you breathe
normally.
The stomach Of the average adult
person has a capacity Of about five
pints and manufacturers about nine
pounds of gastric juice daily.
There are over 500 muscles in the
body all Of which should be exercised
daily to keep you In the best cOndi-
ton. The average adult human heart
weighs from eight to twelve ounces
and it beats about 100000 times every
"a hours.

The Different Viewpoint.

Every parent has a sweet hallucina-
tion-that isn't quite the right word
fancy, maybe is better-that the S.
goldpiece given to SOnnyboy on his
birthday will not be spent, but will be
treasured for years, as mementO of
his twelfth birthday, rather than as q
piece of legal tender with so much buy
ing power. It's all founded on diff
ference between the point of view Of a
parent and that Of a boy. To the pa
rent it seems that nothing could serve
as a memento better than a s. gold
piece. To the boy. however, it occurs
that tennis racquet, a new pocket
knife and the balance In ncOrice will
do just as well.-Kansas City Star.

Growth Of Filtration System.

1t Is an interesting fact that a very
large number of cities which formerly
used water without publication now
have waterworks filtration plants. In
1900, less than 100000 people were
using filtered water; In 1910, approx
mately 100000 were using it, while
at the present date about 10000 900 are
served by filtration plants. In 1900 80
cities were using filtered water, and in
1917 there were 7S1 cities that sup
piled it, truly a remarkable increase.
Reliable data pertaining to typhoid fe-
yer show that the death rate has de-
creased at about the same proportion
as filtered water has increased. This
alone is sufficient reason for the rapid
adoption of filtration plants by munic-
ipalities.-From The American City.
