BOSTON BANS DRAW.

Boston advanced a long way
toward better boxing when its com
mission decided recently against
the draw decision.
Judges and referees of Hightone-
vile have been instructed by the
Boston commission that in future
there shall be no draw decisions.
There must be a winner and q
loser in every fight, no matter how
tight the battling may be or how
closely the men may finish.
This action revives the much
mooted question: Is there really
such a thing as a draw?
Were the question to be put to
vote, it IS probable that the major
ity would be unfayorable to the
draw on general principles, at least.
The fans pay their money for any
sporting event for the sole pur-
pose Of seeing a winner and a
loser. No one would spend five
cents TO see a fight If he knew It
would result in a draw.
We have our own convictions
against the draw as an absurd YER
dict in boxing match. To earn
a draw a battler would have to
score as many points as his oppo
neIt.
Maybe he would, but who among
the critics could distinguish and
tabulate an equal distribution OF
points in all fairness?
Many times the human eye is not
quick enough to see EVERY blow
that is dealt with scoring effect.
Neither are the human fingers agile
enough to jot down EVERY blow.
Boston has taken the logical
stand in abolishing the draw as i'm
practicable and unsatisfactory.
The action is interpreted to mean
that a boxing bout can not be too
close to preclude victory or de-
feat.
Remember, you could do q boxer
great injustice by missing only
one good punch. Then would you
feel like deciding q draw against
him?

There is constancy and certain

This appeals to the farmer with
small capital as readily as to the
man of larger means. Dairying
is not a speculative business.
The returns are constant and eau

price varies less than any other
farm product. 1t is what might
be termed a money crop" because
the cow is constantly converting
all crops into marketable product
For this reason dairying should be
given more attention by the far
mers of Tennessee. No State in

No person caring for a typhoid
patient should prepare food for
others. And such person should
wash her hands carefully and dis.

after waiting upon the patient and
before she eats her meals.
All water used for bathing a ty-
phoid patient should be disinfected
by adding solution of carbolic
acid or other disinfectant before
the water is thrown out. The
dishes and utensils used in caring
for the sick person should be boil
ed after use and kept apart from
the family dishes and utensils,
The urine and bowel matter from
the patient should be boiled or
thoroughly mixed with 5 per cent

charges should then be emptied

thrown upon the ground or where
flies can have access to it. All tow

the patient should be boiled before
being mixed with the household
linen.
Every home should be provided
with fyproof sanitary privy and
safe water supply, aud there
should be no breeding places for
flies about the home. In addition
to this, every member of the fam
lily should be immunized (vacci-

Talks to Farmers
BY T. F. PECK
COMMISSIONER OF AGRICULTURE

"Facts for Dairymen," by W. T
Magruder, State Dairy Commits
sioner, is the title of the following
article circulated this week by T
+. Peck, State Commissioner OF
Agriculture:
Itisgenerally known by the dai
ry farmers of Tennessee that the
General Assembly of 1919 passed a
law requiring all dairy products
used in the manufacture of ice
cream to be pasteurized, and that
a license fee of $40 a year was
charged all persons manufacturing
ice cream for sale. This bill is
known as chapter ITS, acts of 1919
and was passed st the request of
most of the ice cream manufacture
ers of the State. The enforceme Mt
OF this law was entrusted to the De.
partment of Agriculture under the
State Dairy Commissioner.
From the first this law was un-
popular among the very small ice
cream manufacturers who did not
have pasteurizing equipment, be-
cause it made it necessary for them
to either buy this equipment or
TO buy pasteurized milk and cream
from a plant which had it to sell.
Many dairymen selling their milk
to these small plants did not like
this law because where the small
manufacturer purchased his equip
ment the dairyman had to find
other places where he could dis
pose of his milk.
During the last week Of the Gen
eral Assembly bill was introduced
by Mr.. Cummins of Shelby, repeal
ing subsection 5 of section 2 of
of chapter IT'S of the acts of 1919
which rquired all dairy products
used in the manufacture of ice
cream to be pasteurized. This bill
amending the acts of 1919 is en-
bodied in chapter 126, acts of 1921,
Since this amendment by the
last General Assembly, ice cream
manufactured in Tennessee does
not have to be pasteurized, and
farmers may now sell their raw milk
to an ice cream factory not equip.
ped to pasteurize, which they could
not do under the law as it formerly
read.
AS result of this amendment,
several small plants and drugstores
have started the manufacture of
ice cream in small towns instead of
having it shipped in, as present ex-
press rates made the cost of ship
ment almost prohibitive. Thus
demand for milk and cream has
been created in these localities, and
the dairy industry thereby stimu-
lated.
1t is interesting to note that
plants which either, or installed,
pasteurizing machinery when the
compulsory pasteurization law was
passed are still pasteurizing their
milk for ice cream since the law
has been amended. They have
continued to pasteurize because
they know that pasteurization gives
them a better product and is the
only sure way of always having
pure milk and cream, thus always
guaranteeing their customers pure
ice cream.
Dairy farming is one of the most
profitable forms of live stock farm
ng, and with all conditions of soil,
climate, etc, so well suited to the
\
levelopement of the industry in
his State, should receive more at
ention from farmers.
