PressHLuis Angel F4rpo's only
chance to win the heavyweight
championship from Jack Dempsey
rests in his superior strength, his
size and in the natural fighting in,
stinct with which he has been en-.
dowed.
Firpo fas many bad faults as a
boxer. many glaring defects as a
technician and it remains to be
seen II brute force can be made &c
exert its Utmost vita crude meant

The South American is a tremen'
dous hitter with his right hand. II
is almost safe to SAL that he will
knock out any fighter who leave.

Of his powerful right. Had Fir

punches and hitting short, he
might become a ons.punch winner.
Tut as loig as he swings he must

SILK KNOWN IN MIDDLE AGES
Vital Factor in Artistic and CONNER
cIai Life Of Great Cities
Of Italy

In the Twelfth century Norman
Roger, the outlaw king of Sicily,
kidnapped Corinthian weayers and
brought them to Palermo.
Later on one reads Of the bishop
of Evreux purchasing vestment Of
Sicilian texture. Silk played vital
part in the artistic and commercial
life Of the great Italian cities Of the
Middle ages.
To the Alps Italy owed desir-
able isolation from barbarous north
ern Europe. She retained remnants
of classical culture and was sub
jected to the stimulation Of Oriental
commerce, and it was commerce that
encouraged art. There is a RECORD
that Venice knew silk as early as
the Sixth century, but it is certain
that in the Tenth century there was
in that city fourishing trade in
silk.

PLANTS or ANCIENT GARDEN
Five Hundred Years Ago Man Could
Support Himself From
It's Products.

Five hundred years ago man
could support himself by using the
products of his garden. He made
his own mustard from the nastur-
tium, his own pepper from saxifrage,
He grew club-moss to restore his
wine, scurvy grass to improve his
beer, and rue for use in picking
But of cucnmbers and tomatoes
there were none.
The ancient garden was probably
never fenced in, unless by the walls
of a monastery. Often it was deyas
tated during the incessant warfare,
or neglected while its owner was
away fighting. 1t never bore the
signs of any such care as is bestowed
even upon the modern allotment
Many wild plants were allowed to
grow in it because of their medicinal
or other uses. Thus, even nettles and
dandelions were not scorned, and if
the ancient garden was on the coast
it probably produced wild asparagus,
wild mint, wild beet, the radish, sea
kale, and, in some of the salt
marshes, celery.

MEAT-EATERs ARE DOMINANT
History Shows Nations That Consume
Animal Flesh to Be Leaders
In Progress.

Go where you win, search the
Fital records and statistics of all ma
ions, what do you find ? The meat
eating nations are dominant. They
are the builders and doors, the
progressive, victorious, healthiest,
happiest, longest-lived people on the
face Of the globe.
The eating of good meat in mod
grafton is conducive to good habits
and vitality. Some day we shall ar
rive at point where we can dis
pense with animal food, but for the
present continue to eat your roast
beef or your broiled fish at least once
each day.
There is no proyable evidence that
the consumption of meat is detri-
mental to health, says Thomas r.
Gaines in Psychology. On the con-
trary the weight of all evidence is
that meat is the most healthful and
best possible food procurable. But
if meat does not agree with you as
an individual, either from an
aesthetic sense or from a health
standpoint, then dispense with it
and use fish, milk or protein vege-
tables as a substitute Even eggs,
if found compatible, may be sub
stituted for meat. But meat or fish
is infinitely superior to eggs as
healthful food. 1t is a matter of
record that the Eskimos have little
or no tooth troubles on diet of
meat.

ANIMALS TASTES ARE QUEER
Polar Bear Likes Cod Liver Oil; DoGs
Dote on Chocolates; Birds
Love Hemp.

You can hardly imagine any
creature really liking cod liver oil,
even though it is said to be richer in
vitamines than any other food. Yet
Sam, the zoos polar bear, considers
it the greatest delicacy imaginable,
and it is used to lure him from one
cage to another.
Horses, of course, are fond Of
sugar, but that is not half so strange
as the delight which nearly all dogs
take in chocolate. Terriers, in par
ticular, will 90 frantic with excite
ment when chocolate box is
opened. The writer also once knew
red setter that liked ripe goose
berries. She was so fond of them
that she would bite them off the
bushes. regardless of thorns, accord
ing to London Answers.
Many birds have tastes that are
difficult to account for. All, the seed
eating birds delight in hemp seed,
and if given an unlimited amount,
will actually kill themselves by over
indulgence. The tits are devoted to
suet, although this is a food which
they can only obtain through the
agency Of man.

by the grand jury on three counts
charging first degree murder in con-

Tabert died three days after he had
been whipped by Higginbotham, Feb

one OF whom stated that he counted
1O7 blows at one flogging of the youth
Higginbotham was released on bail

Judge Horne announced that Higgin-
botham probably would be tried at a
special term OF court, May 16, at Cross
City, Fla, the county seat OF Dixie
county, where the whipping is said to
have been administered.
Higginbotham's attorney said they
would admit that the lash was used on
Tabert, but that the blows were not
hard enough to have inflicted severe
injuries
Attorneys here, representing the
Tabert family. intimated that imme-

would file suit in United States dis
trict court in Florida, or Wisconsin
seeking $4,000 damage against the

Introducing modern fireproof office

bathtubs and other luxuries of west

just about as il did at the time OF the

Upward of $1,000 100000 in Ameri-

and where farmers still plow with a

This is the real significance OF the
Chester concession, Just approved by
the Turkish national assembly at An
CORA. 1t marks the end OF a long in
ternational scramble which started
under President Roosevelt in 1908.
Wars, intrigues, international con-

agreed to share their rights with
British interests.
Turkeys action is a testimonial TO
her confidence in the United States
British, French and Italian business
men, backed by their governments,
have fought hard, but they were turn
ed away because the Turks suspected
that handing over economic rights
might lead to political domination.
