thing like 80 pounds in weight and looked
 like giant in comparison with his ne. gro rival. Judging by appearances. the bout seemed destined to be little more than workout" for Jeffries. But the very eagerness of the big Californian to show the eastern audience that he was . all that his friends had claimed, hurt nis chances considerably Jeffries threw caution, science and good judgment to the four winds in an effort to beat down the negro. As result his wary rival was saved from being beaten into op- llvion. No man in prize ring has a chance to accomplish much if he is vic time of over anxiety and if he fails to time his punches and fails to fight with coolness. And that was Jeffries case
 The Californian showed up slow ant very awkward in that contest and Arrr strong outboxed him through nearly all of the early rounds. The negro hit Jer fries with considerable frequency but the white mans ability to take punishment stood him in good stead. Armstrong swung through punch that raised lump over Jeffries' eye. By that time Armstrong had become inspired with. the belief that he was as good as Jefrries and refused to back away from the on- slaughts.
 Several times Jeffries sent home terri ble smashes to the body and head of the negro, but he couldn't knock him out In several rounds Jeffries had the negro staggering but couldn't put over the fln- ishing punch. Whenever Armstrong was in trouble he fell into clinches which Jer- fries was unable to shake off until Arm strong had accomplished his purpose Of recuperation.
 Through the last two rounds Jeffries, in desperation, tried to finish Armstrong but it was useless. The big Californian was almost as tired as his rival and his punches lacked the earlier steam. Sew eral times he had Armstrong a bit groggy, but always Armstrong fought him back in a way that baked knock out.
 Jeffries was given the decision. but hts showing was so disappointing that pre- motors who had figured on matching him with Fitzsimmons at that time ruled against it and Jeffries went back to Cai- ifornia to "Legin anew" QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
 Dear MT, Corbett: According to the standing of the clubs in the paper of Sunday, July ', the Giants were eight and one-half games ahead of Pittsburs. A claims that If the Giants lost four games and Pittsburg won four games that the Giants would still be one half game ahead of Pittsburg. B saya that A is right.--Cupid.
 Giants would still be four and one- half games ahead

Instructions to Railways.

All agents and yardmasters Of the
Illinois Central system have received
the following instructions:
In order to relieve transportation IA
cilities of as much traffic as possible
next winter and to prevent a recur-
renee of the conditions which existed
last winter due to the great demand
upon carriers 1T is desirable to con-
duct an active campaign along the fol-
lowing lines:
1. To induce industries located in
territory to store during the summer
months, materials to meet their de-
mands during the winter.
2. Urge wholesale concerns and
distributors to persuade customers to
take delivery of goods now.
3. Encourage the use Of additional
storage space for factory products,
wherever possible, nearest to the point
of ultimate consumption.
4. Impress upon all shippers and
receivers of freight, the difficulties of
transportation that are likely to occur
this winter and to prepare for bl1z-
yards, zero weather by taking advan-
tage of summer conditions.
s. The storage of fuel oil is Of
especial Importance and all users
should be urged to stock up for their
6. For the present at least, the
question of lumber should be held in
allegiance as the needs Of the gov
eminent Departments are extremely
heavy and it has not yet been deter
mined what amount Of transportation
could be spared for commercial lum-
Der, but this matter will be taken up
and you will be advised later as to the
amount of commercial lumber that
may be transported with view of CIV
ing all lumber yards some stock for
use during the winter. ...
7. The storage Of coal is being
handled by the Fuel Administration,
whose efforts should be supplemented
by the officials assigned to this work.

Des Moines hospital will be recon
struction hospital. An educational
staff has been assigned headed by
Lieut.. W. B. Mooney of the Colorado
State Teachers College. Major Muir
ray of the surgeon generals office
has inspected the post and says he be-
lieves the Fort Des Moines institution
has one OF the greatest opportunities
of any reconstruction hospital in the
country. The educational force now
consists of six men with others to be
added.
Every sort of work will be taught,
farming, dairying, stenography, auto
regairing, arts and crafts work, such
as carving and basketry. The first
piece of work was produced July 23rd,
a handsome, large basket, made by a
man in the psycopathic ward
The work has double purpose. 1t
will take the soldiers mind from his
troubles and teach him useful occu-
patton so that he will not become de-
pendent. .... .S
Fort Des Moines hospital Is regu-
lar U. s. Army hospital. The work
we are doing is no duplication Of any
work any other organization would
do. It is voluntary service that some
one must render If 1t is had at all.
The needs continue to be the same.
Naturally money is chief one. Va
rious unions have raised so much more
than their share that this has been a
great help We long for the time
when an offering has come from every
union in the state and so we can feel
that all have had a part in this blessed
ministry, and that we shall know just
what we have to count on in our plan
ming.
We earnestly solicit the help of the
public in this good work. Money is our
greatest need. Hospital supplies in
large quantities will be needed. All
records for Victrolas can be used as
they have the reproducers. .....
Please put all contributions inc the
hands of County and local presidents,
Miss Jennie Youngreen, and Mrs. o.
M. Phenicie ...

SHARE OUR SUGAR
WITH The ALLIES
British Get Two Pounds a Month
French Pound and Halt,
italians One Pound.
GERMAN SUPPLY PLENTIFUL.
All Nations Permit Use Of Sweetenin0
for Home Preserving Purposes.

Americas new sugar ration Of two
pounds a month per person Is equita-
BILE when compared with the sugar ra-
ton enforced by rigid governmental
order in England, France and Italy, ma
tons with which we are sharing sugar.
Each Allied nation--in the matter OF
sugar consumption-is sharing on near
est possible equal terms the hardships
Imposed By. greatly altered conditions
i'd the world sugar situation.
Formerly classed as luxury, sugar
is now war time essential. The fair
and tust division Of this essential is
in the hands Of the various Allied
food controllers.
The United States Food Administra-
ton has asked this nation to observe
q voluntary sugar ration Of two
pounds per person month.
In the other countries at war with
Germany sugar is one Of the scarce
articles on every menu-whether in
the households of both rich and poor,
or in the hotels.
England today has sugar ration
of two pounds per month per person.
In France the ration is pound and a
half and in Italy it is one pound a
month. And the prices in allied coun-
tries are from two to three times as
high as in America.
If you go to a hotel in England or
France these days and order tea or
coffee they serve absolutely no sugar
with it. If you want sugar you must
bring it with you.
In England it is allowable to use
one-seventh Of an ounce of sugar in
the preparation of each luncheon. In
France many persons carry little sac
charine tablets about with them for
use in hotels and in England rich and
poor must take their sugar with them
If they wish to have sweAened tea
while visiting friends.
Before the war started France had
625,OOO acres devoted to sugar produc-
ton. BY 1917 the French sugar acre
age had decreased to 10000 acres
Today the French man or womanA&-A
sugar card has no assurance whatever
that he or she will be able to actually
buy sugar. To buy it, one must first
find 1t.
Italy Has estate Sugar"
HpecIally drastic regulations govern
the use of sugar in Italy. Its manu-
facture, distribution and sale are close
" controlled, and in part actually
taken over by the state.
Saccharine is permitted to be sold
and used as substitute for sugar and
the government manufactures mix
ture Of saccharine and sugar called
estate Sugar" which is largely used.
German Sugar Ration Adequate.
Germany, before the war, produced
great surplus of sugar and exported
large quantities. Today the Germans
have virtually gone out of the export
business, but have plenty Of cheap
sugar for home use.
Wholesale prices prevalent in the
Allied nations, according to informa-
ton received by the United States
Food Administration are as follows:
England, 10 cents pound; France.
10 cents; Italy, &c cents.
While these high prices are being
paid abroad the American wholesale
price is being held at 7R cents.

pies minds In regard to it. The base
Hospital at Camp Dodge is fourteen
miles northwest of Des Moines. It
serves only the cantonment at Camp
Dodge. "Our" hospital is at Fort Des
Moines, the post of the regular army
in former years, four and half miles
south of the city. There is no relation
between the two. This convalscent
hospital is to serve the central divi-
sion of the U. S. in caring for the con-
valescents from many camps, and
later, for the men of this section who
are returned from France needing hos
pital care.
Again it is asked why we do this
when the Red Cross cares for all hos
pitals This is not the case. A gov
eminent hospital and Red Cross hos
'pital are two separate sorts, While
both serving the same end There are
army nurses and Red Cross nurses.
The Red Cross hospitals are overseas.
Patients are arriving in small num-
bers from France. There were eleven

in French hospitals before being sent
to America. Most Of them are suffer-

some have severe rheumatism from

there before the arrival of General
Pershing. They are all anxious to
recover and return to France.
