These figures are from government

said in a public address,: physicians
have located the great cause of gem
eral i'll health in poverty" Poverty Is
here directly attributable by an emf
nent authority to the great American
habit of unthrift.
Poverty means dirt, Cleanliness Is
Z luxury. 1t demands leisure, peace of
mind, hot water, soap, bath tub and
good plumbing. The very poor cannot
be clean, and filth and dirt mean ill
health consumption and a pauper's
grave.
Teach the people thrift Teach them
tc lay aside a part of their savings.
Teach them to have a thought of the
morrow. Teach them to eschew SIS
hats, $50 shoes and 5000 coats off the
wages that cannot warrant these
things.

Roberts And Nc awley Both
Win Eight Round LOt0S Bouts

three rounds that McCawley would
win by @ Knockout sooner than he did
but the Brunswick lad stuck until the
middle of the fifth when an uppercut
put him out.
The Roberts-Kibbler bout was
short and sweet. Roberts came out
of his corner like q flash and started
to rush his opponent with vigorous
right and left jabs, u~ppercuts, and
every other kind of a punch. Kibbler
didn't seem to be able to even put his
hands in defense before he a gone
down for the first time. Instead of
taking a few econd to get control of
himself, however, he Immediately
jumped up only to be felled to the
floor again. He again rose and this
time was rushed into one corner of
the ring where Roberts was hitting
him at will when stopped by the refe-
rec who declared that the two men
were 90 ~unevenly matched to allow
the bout to continue.
Tho outcome of the Driscoll-Patsy
Cline scheduled f~our-round go was
unexpected. Cline had things all his
way during the first two rounds and
in the third each lad made a hard
swing at each other. They came to-
gether, it appearing as If their heads
struck. Cline dropped and was count
ed out.

held Monday night at which Ray Hat
