Food Purveyor's Figures

Armour and Company's Sales Of
oIeomargarIne Increase
6U% in Year.

Oleomargarlne increase
500 in Year.
Chicago, March 20.-(Special.)-
1.-THE books of big business are true
index to national feeling" said an
important executive Of Armour and
Company the other day. For in
stance" he continued, "the Food Adj
ministration requests the public to
conserve. fats. 1t is possible to main
tain positive regulation over hotels
and restaurants, but is there a proper
response in private homes?
"a striking answer to this Ques-
ton is found in the fact that our
oleomargarine sales have increased
6O% over last year. This Is proof
that the public is buying more cleo
margarine and is conserving dairy
products, as Mr.. Hoover asked.
"a very substantial part Of the in
crease in our sales must be attrib-
uted to the excellence OF our two
new products. Verfbest Oleomargar-
inc, and the vegetable Oleomargar-
inc, Nut-Ola. Some trade must have
been drawn to US because of the
merits of these articles; and they
are indeed the finest that can be
made.
But the fact remains that the per
capita consumption Of oleomargarine
is rapidly increasing. However, last
year, the largest on record. tho per
capita use was only 3 1-3 pounds per
annum I think we may look for
ward to the time when 1t will more
nearly approach the European con-
sumption of from Is to 80 pounds
per annum."

CHAPTER ky.

Sullivan's decisive defeat of XII.
rain established him once more as a
champion OF champions. Those who
had pointed out that his next bout
following the fracas with Mitchell in
France, would be the man to wrest
Z the championship from the American
demon changed their minds.
just as soon as Sullivan had
settled his troubles with the Missis-
sippi authorities he departed on an
other vaudeville tour-a trip that
took him over most of the country
and Melted him thousands of dollars.
The fortune that had been dissipated
in riotous living in the period fol
lowing the Mitchell fight was rebuilt.
Sullivan, praised everywhere, looked
up to as a conqueror, and fattered
by everyone, began again to spend
his money recklessly for wine and
on his friends in other ways. 1t
wasn't long until he had drifted again
into the errorful ways that almost de-
feated him in France.
About this time the star of James
,. Corbett, Californian, began to
ascend The 1.-the youth in the west
had met Joe Choynski and fought a
creditahle bout He had met many
men who had stood against Sullivan
md had acquitted himself well. The
seeming inVincibility of Sullivan,
however, was the cause for hilarious
laughter when Corbett mentioned the
fact that he wanted to meet Sullivan
in finish bout, and believed he
could win.
Sullivan, himself, greeted the adj
vances with contempt, and merely
growled when it was suggested that
Corbett might defeat him. Going into
San Francisco one day, he agreed to
meet Corbett in an exhibition. There
was no rough fighting during the
process. Both men wore dress suits
and merely boxed easily. Corbett,
himself, had said since then that
right there was the time he found
out that he was Sullivan's master.
With certain amount of good for
tune, and the privilege to plan his
battle along scientific lines, the Cali
fornia youth became convinced that
he could lay the conqueror of Paddy
Ryan and Jake Kilrain low.
There was lot of difficulty in ar
ranging this match, which brought a
long line of worlds championships to
America. Sullivan, growing older
and less effective, seemed to realize
that he was in no condition to engage
in long match with anyone. His
cock-sureness, however, finally got
him to agree to the meeting, and
articles were signed calling for
meeting between the two In New Or
leans on Sept. Z, 1898.
What happened in that bout is too
well known for anyone to recount
the dramatic incidents which led up
to the fall of the old champion and
the browning of the new. Sullivan,
broken down by years of hard living,
succumbed to man better than him
self on that day, although it is hardly
probable Corbett would have been
able to defeat the Boston Strong Boy
when the latter was at the height of
his career.
