 The four-year- Told lilly, Ante Guy, had a real battle with Dell Jolla. Erskine's mare tired in the last two heats and Murphy had enough reserve power in Ante Guy to put her ahead at the wire. Ante Guy was almost pro- hibitive favorite.

Charley NJ, who sold for s in the field in tickets total ing s125 finally went over as the win ner for one of the longest shots of the meeting.
 Belle Alcantara had no difficulty in winning the 2:1S pace in straight heats. Binland, the crack trotter, easily dis posed of his field in the 2:13 trot for his fifth victory of the year. Sis Bing

how this meeting was for the purpose
of helping the boys prepare to enter

told something of what was expected

MAILING ANOTHER LIE
Mayo Clinic Makes Statement Aneni
Wheat Substitutes.


Positive denial has been given by
the Mayo clinic at Rochester to rl-
mors which have been placed in cir
culation to the effect that the clinic
had condemned the use of wheat
-four substitutes as injurious, being
the cause of much stomach disor-
ders. This story reached the ears of
DIR. F. s. James, food administrator
for Winona county, and he wrote di-
rectly to Drs. Mayo, Graham and
Judd at Rochester for an official
statement on the subject, receiv-
ing the following direct denial of the
story over the signature of Dr..
Charles H. Mayo:
"The rumOr you mention is en-
tirely without foundation, and is. no
doubt German propaganda. We have
never condemned the use of wheat
flour substitutes, in fact we believe
they are much better for most peo-
pie than wheat -four. Only in the
case of one or two patients who
have come to. this clinic have we
found it necessary or desirable to
advise the use of more wheat flour
than that permitted by the federal
food administration at the time they
were here"
