Evers Is now tbirty- four years old. but is still considered a great player. Willard Wins Court Fight. Justice Hendrick of the supreme court of New York denied the applies- tlon of Jack Curley for an injunction against Jess 'Willard, champion prize fighter. Curley wanted him enjoined from appearing with the Jess Willard .Wild West show until the expiration of Curley'* contract with Willard In September. Justice Hendrick aald Willard la responsible in an action at law for damages, and there would be no profit to Curley In keeping the champion from earning additional money this summer. Star Runner In Army. Don M. Scott of the Mississippi Ag ricultural college, the national half mile champion, is now an officer in the Tnited States army. In the big meet at Newark last year Scott spread- eagled his field In 1 minute 54 sec onds, and the performance was note worthy as being the fastest half ever run for the American championship. Various W ays of Using Cornmeal In the Diet * * « * * * * * « * # # * * # * * * * # „ Include cornmeal in the diet and learn to like I t The qualities of corn meal bare been underestimated. In the opinion of Mrs. Mary P. Van Zile, dean of the division of home economics in the Kansas State Agricultural college. Bolted cornmeal Is now cheap as compared with other cereals. It costs about half as much as wheat flour, only a third as much as rolled oats and a fourth a t much aa rolled w heat Cornmeal has a high food value Although the bolted meal does not sup- ply so much tissue building material as wheat flour, it does supply more starch and fat. The unbolted cornmeal, which is of good flavor and is prefer red by many, has more tissue building material as well as more starch and fat than the wheat flour. For a long time pellagra was sup posed to be contracted through eating cornmeal. Scientific investigation has proved that this is false, and there is no danger from eating ordinary quan tities. Cornmeal can be used successfully In a variety of ways. As a breakfast ce- rtal, fried mush, corn bread or as corn griddlecakes it is a success from a notrtttve as w#n as an economic stand point. A satisfactory bread may be made by using one-half wheat flour and one-half cornmeal. * « « * * * » * » * « * * * » * £ * FROM THE PERSIAN.
