dust think, Brian has the Croix dc
Guerre, Aunt Louisa. He is brave, and
| am not surprised; but to think of TAX.
ing so many prisoners all by himself. "
Ruth was so excited, her words fairly
tumbled over each other.
1T was a wonderfully brave thing
to do her snnt said after she had
read the short account of Lieutenant
Hackett s act, and his reward. "'He
will probably get the Distinguished Ser
vice Cross as well. Our own country is
quick to recognize such acts as any
othor.'
Ruth was radiant sll the evening.
Brian had distinguished himself, and
had not been wounded. Her plan for
him also took on an added attraction
because people would surely give a msa
with such war record the preference
when ne returned to civil life.
She wrote him long letter telling
him how proud she was; how happy
that he had not been wounded while
doing so marvellous thing. Then she
went to bed to dream of war crosses,
of nests filled with Germans whom Bri-
an dragged in prisoners, and of little
Brian, who too was soldier, and who
also wore cross

Ruth declared at breakfast, "I was too
much excited, | guess.' Then she ex.
planned to Rachel, who had asked what
excited her so she couldn' Z sleep, that
Brian, her husband had been decorat-
cd for bravery. If she expatiated upon
the news to the old colored woman, II
was not surprising. Her aunt smiled
more indulgently than ever she had
done when. Brian had been the sub.
iect Of conversation. "There may be
something to him after all,n she
thought as she, too, became little en-
thusiastic because Of Ruth's excitement
and prideful words.
"Sholy he will come back now,p

SPANISH INFLUENZA
Is MORE DEADLY
THAN WAR

Tne appalling ravages of Spanish in
fiuenza in this country are perhaps
best realized by the statement recent
" made, that more deaths have result
ed in little more than a month from
this disease than through out whole
eighteen months participotio in the
battles of the European war.
Our greatest danger now, declare
authorities, is the great American ten
dency to forget easily and to believe
the peril is over. Competent authori-
ties claim the coming of cold weather
Is very apt to bring return of this
disease and there should be no let up
throughout the winter months of the
following easily observed precautions,
remembering that influenza is far cas-
ler to prevent than cure
Influenza is a crowd disease. Avoid
crowds as much as possible. Influenza
germs spread when ignorant and care
less persons sneeze or cough without
using a handkerchief. Cover up each
cough or sneeze. Do not spit on the
floor, sidewalk, in street cars or pub
hc places. Avoid the use of common
drinking cups and roller towels in
public places. Breathe some reliable
germicidal and antiseptic air to de-
stroy the germs that do find Judgement
in your nose and threat.
Remember, no safer precaution
against influenza could be employed in
this manner than to get frcm the near
est drug store complete Hyomei out
tit consisting of bottle of the pure
oil of Hyomei and little vest pocket
hard rubber inhaling device, into which
few drops of the oil are poured. You
should carry this inhaler about with
you during the day and each half hour
or SO put it in your mouth and draw
ieep breaths of its pure, heuling germ
Killing aF into the passages of your
lose, throat and lungs.
By destroying germs before they ac-
ually begin work in your blood, you
nay make yourself practically immune
% infection.
All these suggestions about Spanish
Influenza are equally true in the pre-
Tention of colds, catarrh of nose and
hroat, bronchitis and even pneumonia.
)on't become careless. Do your part.
Keep the germs away. You may save
'ourself q serious illness and the loss

FEEDING OUR FRIENDS.

In considering the bill to appropriate $1OOOOOOOO to
feed starving populations in eastern and southern Eu-
rope, some congressman have expressed doubt as to
whether the American public would sanction such a
STEP in view of the heavy war burdens already assumed
and the prospect of another war loan in the spring
They need not have suffered any anxiety on that ae
count Having put many billions into the war; the ma
ton is willing to add few millions to complete its war
America has not saved Europe to let it starve
The money is to be applied outside of Germany"
Our enemies will be taken care of in due time and they
will be expected to pay for what they get This relief is
meant for friends the longoppressed subject pop
latons of Russia Austria and Turkey who have no rec
ognized governments yet established whose financial
sources wiped out by war; and who have neither pr
vate public facilities for making the necessary pur
chases
The United States can well afford to perform this
service for them. If they able to pay for the
food, very well. If not need not worry. 1t is good
deed, worth doing for its sake, piece of phian
thropy in which every American may take genuine sat-
sfaction And if look for reward that, too will not
be lacking. Nothing could make more favorable i'm
preston in Europe at this time when hope to have
American influence count strongly for wise and just
peace settlement

Next to airplainng there is perhaps no more uncer

prophecy is going to turn OUT that is one reason why
there are so many prophetsthe hazard appeals to the
human craving for adventure
There are all those prophecies about what the re-
turning soldiers will do will not do and chief among
them the oftrepeated statement that the airmen will
never consent to down to earth again. except as
some one has said, 'for sleep and gasoline
Now comes reporter and reports that of the first
twenty avators interviewed in France not one intends to
pursue aviation business after the war;
Of the other branches Of the army only about one
fourth of those interviewed expressed the determination
to make any change in their former line Of business
This information may be little disappointing to the
seers and pessmstc econstuctonsts but to the folks
at home it is pretty good news that the boy who is COM
ing back is the one Who went away Broadened he will
be- sobered doubt but the boy who was glad to get
home because he could now take his own girl to The

There will be those seeking change and changes will
be necessary but far necessary the plain normal

be prophecies they shall fall whether there be tongues
they shall cease"

Meats in i Storage"

Every working day Of the year
OOQ,OOO pounds of meat are required
to supply home and export needs-and
only 10 per cent of this is exported.
These facts must be kept in mind
when considering the y. S. Bureau of
Markets report that on June l, 1919,
there were l,348OOO,OOO pounds of
meats in cold storage. IF the meat in
storage was placed on the market it
would only be 20 days supply.
This meat is not artiically withheld
from trade channels to maintain or
advance prices.
Meats IN storage consist Of
IS per cent (approximate) hams bacon etc.,
IN process of curing. 1t takes 80 to go
days in pickle or salt to complete the
process.
10 per cent is frozen pork that is to be cured
later in the'year.
per cent is lard. This is only four-ffths
of pound per capita, and much of it will
have to go to supply European needs.
10 per cent is frozen beef and lamb, part Of
which is owned by the Government and
was intended chiefly for overseas ship
rnent. If this all diverted to domes-
tic trade channels, it would be only
112 lbs. per capita--a days supply.
1000
From this it will be seen that meats
in storage" represent merely I'M
finished goods in process of curing and
the working supply necessary to assure
the consumer a steady flow of finished
product.

When William Harrison Jack"

the giant Jess Willard in the sun

became the eighteenth holder of tho
American title and the fifth worlds
heavyweight champion.
Willard, like John l.. Sullivan who
after his defeat by Corbctt tottcrcd

and raising ono mighty paw aloft to
command attention, patriotiCally de
Clarcd, "Gcntlcmcn, the championship

is the knowledge that he was beaten
by no foreigner and the title still is
held by Il sturdy son of Uncle sam.
With the exception Of Tom llycr,
Americas first ,itlchOldcr in the
heavyweight class, and John G. Hccn
an, the Bcnicia Boy, all the carly
champions were foreign born, com
ing either from England or Ireland
John l.. Sullivan was the first nh

the only foreigner to take title under
those rules.

MEETS SETBACK ON COAST

Out on the coast Dempsey met
with n setback when he tackled Will
lie Meehan in bout that was staged
for charity. Mcchan was awarded
the decision at the end Of four rounds
although Dempsey had knocked him
down and had done all the real dam
age.
Returning East Dempsey stopped
Battling Lcvinsky in three rounds,
Perky FLYNN in one round and then
outpointed Billy Miske in six rounds
Miske was ouclasscd by Dempsey but
by holding on he managed to stick
the full route. lie was very weak at
tho end and it is probable that anoth
CT round would have seen his finish.
Dcmpscys last ring battle prior to
yesterday took place at New Orleans
where he stopped Carl Morris In
tho first round Of bout scheduled
for twenty. Morris probably never
had any idea OF winning the fight,
as his previous attempts had demon
stratcd to him that he was outclassc
so he lost no time in taking to the
floor.

y favored Dempsey.

ty favored Dempsey.
That Dempsey was improving rap
idly Is shown by his progress from
that point on. In his next five en-.
counters only one man was able to
last through the first round. This
was Dan Ketchcll who was rocked to
sleep in the second. The other vic
TINS were Arthur Pclky, Kid McCarty
Bob Dcvcrc, Porky Flynn and Fred
Fulton.
The battle with Fulton was really
the means of obtaining for Dempsey
the present match for the champion
ship. Fulton was looked upon as the
logical opponent for the title holder
at that time. The tall plastercd had
stopped Frank Moran with the great
est Of ease, socmthing that Willard
could not do. If he had defeated
Dempsey he would have removed the
last obstacle from his path, for Full
ton had beaten every other heavy
weight of prominence.
However, Fulton proved to be as
easy for Dempsey rs any Of the set
ups he had been bowling over. The
tall plastcrcr was frightened so bad
ly that his muscles refused to re-
spond to his will and before he could
gain control Of his shaky nerves
Dempsey stopped i'll with series Of
short hooks and knocked him cold.

cd Matchmaker Tom McCar die to put
him on with the big fellow.
Dempsey explained that no was
flat broke, had had nothing to cat
all day and just naturally had to get
fight to keep from starving. AS
there was no one else on hand, Nc
Cardlc took II chance with the strang
er and sent him into the ring.
At that time Dempsey was but a
nero STRIPPING. He did not weigh
moro than ITO pounds. He was total
ly unframed and half starved and
he was facing giant who had met
many of the best men In the ring.
While the crowd knew nothing about
Dempsey those on the inside expect cd
him to go out in round or two.
In the firnt round Dempsey was a
mark for the more experienced An
dcrson. The big fellow jabbcd him
at will and with right swing he
cut Il deep cash over Dcmscy's left
eye. Dempsey was battered ali over
the ring. He was covered with blood
from head to foot and did not ap
pear to have Chinaman's chance.
But somehow or other Dempsey
managed to stall along. Knocked
down time after time, he always
struggled to his feet before the count
In his efforts to end it Anderson be
gan to grow arm weary. lie slowed
up considerably so that Dcmscy's
earnest but wild swings frequently
found resting place on the big fcl
low. The further the battle went
tho closing rounds he had the big
the moro Dempsey improved and in
fellow holding on like a drowning
man to escape being put to sleep.
Dempsey had won on points after
taking heating that few men could
have survived.

GAMENESS EARNED FANS

DcmDScy's wonderful display of
EalncAcss earned him so much ap
pla'lSc from the crowd that he was
promptly matched with "Wild" Bert
kcnncy was as wild as his name i'm
plies and Dempsey knew but little
moro about boxing, but he was the
better hitter of the two and he gain
ell the popular verdict at tie end of
the ten rounds.
After that Dempsey was matched
with John Lester Johnson big Ne
gro who had had a world experience.
DcmScy forced the fighting from
start to finish, took terrible beat
ing, but still was going strong when
the last bell sounded. 1t was Il &C.
markablc showing fer Il novice and
there was n rush of local managers to
sign the newcomer to Il contract. John
Relsler, tho manager of the club OBJ
tanned Dcmscy's consent. But Dcmp
soy soon became disguised with his
bargain and he left for the West
without the formality Of saying good
by.
In the early part OF 1917 Dempsey
was matched with tho veteran Jim
FLYNN at Salt Lake City and was
knocked out with practically the first
blow Flynn let fly. However, those
on the inside of this affair assert that
all was not rs it should have been in
that bout. Some Of those in position
to know what was going on now arc
predicting that Willard will win on
July and some arc with Dempsey,
hut none hold the Flynn affair against
the Eoungstcr in arguing tho merits
OF the two from purely fighting
standpoint.

DEMPSEY "a YEARS OLD.

Dempsey was born in Colorado
twenty four years ago last month. Ac-
cording to his own statements mix
turc Of Irish, Scotch and Indian blood
runs in his veins.
Dempsey began his ring career in
the early part of 1915. At that time
he was working in the mines OF Col
Orado where he developed his remark
ably muscular physique. At first he
did not take boxing very seriously as
the returns were small and he had no
idea that he ever would be fighting
for the heavyweight championship Of
tho world.
Many Of Dempsey's minor affairs
in the ring have gone rnrecordcd.
There is no record of his early battles
until he met and knocked out King
Hancock in one round. This success
caused him to forsake the ranch and
the mines for career in the ring.
Dempsey know little or nothing
about the art Of boxing but he had
trick Of hitting with crushing force
and he was a fighter by nature. Most
OF his early battles he won quickly
Tic met his first reverse when he was
oqtpointed in four rounds by Jack
Downcy a midlcwcight who was fair
ly well known in the west.
In another battle with DOwncy
Dempsey won with a knockout in 2
rounds after which he began to COW
er wider field and to seek more am
bilious matches. His first opponent
Of more than local reputation was
Joe Bonds big fellow who had act
cd as punching bag for the well
known lights Of the ring. Dempsey
outpointed him in ten rounds and
then he decided to take a trip East.
