AudltOrlum Unknown winston.
Thomas is the best fighter now
in action, at any weight, whose home
is in Minnesota. He was born and
raised near Eagle Bend. He played
a little professional baseball-as a
catcher-drifted here and there and
finally into boxing.
He has done most of his fighting
in Chicago. His most important fight
was with Max Schmeling in New
York last month. Schmeling knocked
him out but not until Thomas had
shown rare qualities of courage and
| toughness.
He contends one of Schmeling's
punches paralyZed an optic nerve so
| that he could not see the knockdown
punches coming, says he got up eight
times without taking count because
he was not hurt. He is not a highly
skilled boxer but he is tough, game,
smart and carries heavy punch
He ranks with the six best heavy
weights Minnesota has ever produced.
The other five are Tommy Gibbons,
Billy Miske, Fred Fulton, Charley
Retzlaff, Art Lasky.
Thomas probably does not belong
at the top of that list. Neither does
he belong at the bottom. He is just
the type who would have had a
chance, and a good chance, against
Fulton, Retzlaff or Lasky. He is a
farm-bred Minnesota boy, strong, in
| telligent, tough and courageous.
His opponent is a thoroughly sea-
soned man. He has beaten a few
pretty good fighters and good many
third raters. He is a cunning work.
man and will be a hard man for
Thomas to handle.
However, Thomas is proper
favorite. He will probably win and
has chance to win by knockout
if they fight at fast enough pace.
The Big Show.
Baraboo, Wis, has just laid claim
to being the birthplace of the Big
Circus. The Ringing boys came from
Baraboo, started their first little show
there and went on to take complete
control of the circus business.
But Minnesota has a similar claim
to being the birthplace of the big
figure skating spectacles and, today,
figure skating shows are running Sec
ond only to the one big circus in
drawing power. Nothing else in show
business can match the attendance
and receipts of the Ice Follies or
ganized and managed by Eddie Ship
stad and Oscar Johnson of st. Paul.
Moreover, the big Ice Show is
heavily cast with Minnesota talent.
Bess Ehrhart, the star, lives in Super
ior, Wis, but learned her skating
from Roy Shipstad in Duluth. Roy,
the male star, lives in Forest Lake,
MINI.
There are so performers in the cast.
Thirty-five of them are Minnesota

boys and girls who have packed the
Chicago Stadium, New York's Madi-
son Square Garden, Detroit's Olym-
pia, and every other big arena in the
United States with wildly cheering
spectators.
Last year 100000 people saw this
show Minnesota's young people pre-
sented. In 1888 attendance will be
considerably higher.
To celebrate the success of these
home bred show people Minneapolis
has booked the Follies for the longest
single run any ice show ever had
in one city. The spectacle will run
from March 8 to II, giving II per-
formances in the Minneapolis Arena
and more than $4,000 spectators will
see it.

The Church And
The Community
By REV. jobs. KNUDSEN

A community like ours can be COM
pared to a shipyard where boats and
ships are built. Vessels are con-
tinually being completed, and the
moment they are launched keels are
laid for new bottoms. A few of the
ships remain to ply their trade in
local waters or to rest in local
wharves, but the majority sail off
for foreign shores. Some of these
rise to prominence through distin-
guished service and their names be-
come known; others serve faithfully
on routes of less renoWn. Most i'm
portant, however, in the eyes of the
builders is their seaworthiness, their
quality of construction. What counts
most in freighter or liner, tugboat or
yacht, is not its appearance or fame
but its ability to serve. When a boat
founders in a storm there is sorrow
among the builders.
In one way it is sad to see the
young people of a community leave
for other places when they have
reached maturity and are seeking an
independent place in life. The COM
munity has raised them, protected
and educated them, and when it
should profit from their young
strength, they depart. 1t is sad to
think that they cannot share with us
and we with them, that they cannot
build among us and grow with us
as we grow with them. And the sad
ness becomes great when we discover
that our community is weakened
through lack of replacement.
But we should not alone be sad.
We should take pride also in send
ing out into the world a group of
young people that acquit themselves
well. If they serve well and help
to build other communities or help
to improve the life of our people, we
should regard that as a contribution
from our community to the greater
group. We belong also in larger
fellowship, and if we can help build
a quality in the young people that
makes them better able to serve our
people, then our contribution is
worthwhile Then our loss is larger
gain.
We are constantly building anew.
The thought gives us concern and
satisfaction We have a privilege
and a responsibility.

Talk Assembly Hall.

The boards of directors of the Dan
ish Lutheran church and the Young
Peoples society held joint meet
ing at the Adolf Jensen home Mon
day evening for the purpose of dis
cussing the possibility of building q
new assembly hall. The meeting
was without authority to take any
definite action and was not called
for that purpose; rather merely to
discuss the matter jointly. After
viewing the matter from all angles II
was decided to select committee
of four who will go into the matter
in detail, such as the securing of a
different location, approximate cost
of various size buildings, and pos
sibly make some sort of survey for
securing the necessary funds for a
new building. This committee con-
sists of Miss Ruth Hansen, Arnold
Hede, Chr. Sandahl and Svend Peter
sen. AS soon as this committee has
something definite to offer it will be
presented before a joint meeting OF
the congregation and the Young Peo-
pies society.

I cd may be found in Forchheimer,s HTherapeusis of Internal Diseases" i" Vol. II, p. 59S-595.
 "At times drank to excess" says a reader, "because I felt the need of a stimulant or just wanted to feel better"
 ''Felt the need of stimulant," :" and "just wanted to feel better" may be interpreted as manifestations of vitamin deficiency, especially defi- ciency of daily intake of vitamin B complex and vitamin D. How much such vitamin deficiency, which is common in people whose diet is chiefly refined foods, has to do with | the craving for alcohol and tobacco, I do not know, but believe 1t may be common factor. Indeed the reader goes on to say:
 "But I have completely broken away from it now and no longer seem to need it since I have been taking a daily ration of vitamin B complex and vitamin D to supple ment my diet. My digestion and bowel action is better ." It is well established principle of medicine that alcoholic patients are almost certain to suffer from vitamin deficiency, in proportion with the steady or hard drinkers inability to take and retain ade- uuate food. In fact the cause of multiple neuritis, which paralyzes many chronic or periodic drinkers, open or secret tipples, is due to lack of vitamin B and large doses of vit- amin B injected into the veins at first, will most quickly cure it.
 Don't turn to booze, you poor goof, when you "feel the need of a stimulant' or want to feel better" Instead, try supplementnig your de- flcient diet with adequate daily ra- tiuns of vitamin B complex and vit- amin D. These vitamins do some- thing for you that alcohol never can do-they really pep you up or keep you feeling fine.
 Insulated
 My father and have an argu- ment. and we hope you will settle it. Father says it is dangerous, and I say 1t is harmless for one with earache to go out in the sunshine on a cold day for a while, with his ear stuffed with cotton. 0. R0 Answer-Father loses. think it would be better for one with ear- ache to take the cotton or other stufing out of the ear before he goes out. In fact such stuffing should not be kept in the ear, ex- cept to absorb discharge if the ear is running, and then it must be changed often enough to avoid in- tering with drainage or proper ven- tilation. It is usually mistake, and harmful, to keep the ear plugged. Let the air exert its natural healing action.

Yesterday I asked four question: about this hand. How many did you answer correctly? Par is 100; de- duct 10 for each incorrect answer, If you scored 80, you get good rating. Expert credits" are added for brilliant play.
 This hand illustrates correct bid- ding of powerful hand, as well as the value of trading one trick for two. The answers to yesterdays questions are:
 1. South should make an open- ing bid of two spades. His hand will almost surely produce game, so a forcing bid is proper.
 2. Though his spade suit is much stronger, South should also show his hearts-but only after he has bid spades twice. North, who must respond to the forcing bid and has no good suit, must continue bidding no trump.
 3. When forced to choose between spades and hearts, North returns to spades, through he has only two of them. South,S two spade bids be- fore showing hearts promised a six card spade suit, and North knows that the combined length will be eight cards.
 4. After cashing two high clubs, West leads the heart jack, hoping East can ruff. South wins, noting East must play the queen. South takes three spades, then cashes the diamond ace.
 Next South takes the heart ace. East refuses to trump, not wanting to lead diamonds toward dummy. Credit for an expert play is given for refusing to ruff with East's hand.
 But South promptly leads his three of spades, forcing East to win with the nine and lead a dia- mond. Another expert credit" is given for the low spade lead. Dum- my wins two diamond tricks, South discarding both losing hearts.
 1. Should South make an opening bid of one no trump?
 2. If South makes an opening bid, should West bid his spades? e
 3. What is the proper first bid for North? !
 4. What card should be led from East's hand against no trump contract?
 Can you make the expert play in this hand? s
