LIVELY BOUTS AI SEVENTH COMPANY EXCTNG SMOKER The Seventh com pan), at It arm or) last night, prosented a program of athletic events, undor the rulos ot amateur sports, that proved n suc roiilon of thrills to tlio 300 attend ants. It was probably tho most ox citing smoker, from start to finish, tho company linn yet put on. Fans from Central Point ami Hold Hill wera numerous mul rntliuslaatlc. In fact, the athletic clubs of those places supplied n number of the most In teresting feature of the bill. Too evening of sport was oponcil with a tabloid boxing contest, be tween two Central Point lads about 12 years of age that was a huuunor. Tho bantles didn't loaf a minute dur ing tho four speedy rounds. Neither was afraid of punishment and each showed considerable knowledge of tho science, of the manly art. Ii. (1. Worthlngton. tho referee of the events, decided It a draw. The paper decision wont to I.) on, on a smnll mnrgiu. I". of O. rlmtnplon Won The. main event In tho wrestling class was between Harold Prostel, champion lightweight wrestler of the l'nl erally of Oregon, and W. ('. Kd- mttiid of Hold Hill, champion In that division for southern Oregon. The coutost was for the championship of western Orogon. I'reslel won on ag gressiveness, neither being able to scoro a fall. Tboy went two stren uous rounds of six minutes each. It was a clean, skilful contest, the Oold Hill bov surprising many by his clev er escapo from mnny dangerous sit uations. Preslol's iiggroslvonoss thinughout tho contest guvo him the derision by a light shade. Tim Indian style of wrestling, an demonstrated by Illg Chief l.aldloy and Running Wolf Powell was won by tho latter In a match replete with merriment. The "hear scratch' con test followed closely between Hone and Maddov at one end of tho blan ket and Mug and Stacy at the other. It was n full minute full of fun, when tribal relations woro severed by Hose's roleasc of tho blanket. mother's Classy Contest Tlio wrestling bout between Will Ileverldgo and his brothor, I.cland lleveildge, for tho lightweight cham pionship of Seventh company, was won by tho former with two falls In throe. It was probably tho fastest wrestling bout of tho evening. It was a case of notion every minute. Will welKhod 183; l.eland 18. It was a good exhibition of cleverness and endurauro. The principal glove contest was the bout between Joss Ingram of Central Point and (ioorgo Peart of Seventh company. A spurt of ele mentary scientific work cullvaned tho mill, which was fast and earnest. Penrt was tho nggrossor In the first, but Ingram was faster and a little moi o certain in his aim, employing body blows to nIow Peart up consid erably. At the and of n fast on fuiv.cme.nt It was called a draw, but the paper derision would have gone to Ingram on points. Tho jlii Jltsu style of wrestling was demonstrated by a clever coutost between N'Mkalanl, graduate of the national school of Toklo, and l.e land Deverldge, the only man In Sev enth company who would volunteer to tackle the muscular Japanese In the bout. There are no points In this stylo of contest except endurance. Neither has won until the othor gives up. l.eland ijeld Prof. Nakatanl to several pretty plays in the demonstra tion, but hod to give up finally. Kach threw tho other over his head a time or two In a flash of spectacular exer tion, but of courso the Japanese was waster of the situation at all times. 'Tjie middleweight wrestling cham pionship of southern Oregon - was won by Clark of Central Point, against Jacobs of Oold Hill, In a fast and close contest. Uoth men showed development ot strength and consid erable knowledge of the real sclonoe of the gamo. They are both eoniors in that line of technical athletics. The log-wrestling exhibition bo tween Maddox and Ling was won by Maddox In less than two minute. The Japanose anklo wiostling be tween Will Ilevortdge and Laldly was wan b the former. Serxt. Purdin quickly demonstrat ed that he could pull with greater strength with his hands than Archie Parker could with his teeth. Altogether, the smoker covered two and a half hours of royal sport. SHIELDS WATER BILL PASSED BY U. S. SENATE WASHINGTON. Mar. 8 Tho Hn ate last night after four wks of de bate, passed the Shields bill to pro vide for development of water power In navigable waters by prhate cap ital The vote was 10 to :':' Con-w-ratinn 1 h impious fought hard to a'D'-n 1 ti r h r .18 ire l"it without iGOOD PROGRESS T In spite of the fact that the cnim . orator' nHirt last fall showed the I school census fo bo about 12.1 pupils of school npe lew than the preceding your, the ttnl enrollment in the high) school this vcn i 370, which is a Kitiii ot llo students over Inst rar. ' Inasmuch us tlie present high echoed ' faeilities are cleat ly inadequate to' meet tlie present enrollment, the mi-J peiintemlent uuil hoard of education' are in n quandary ns to how the mu III it" of about 12,1 freshmen shall be. nceqmmodnted next fall, t'nles-, the taxpayers insist on tlie erection of a now high m'IiooI building in the ncari future the lioaiil will ptobablv lie J forced either to rent or erect n tem pornry structure in which to house1 the surplus .students. ' Progress III Departments lYoni the time of opening school I last fall special emphasis' has been placed on the work of the viuimm de partments. The commercial depatt iiitmt has been leorgunizcd and Hticngthened, thus making it more nt Iraetive to students. An effoit has been made to fit student., graduating trom this depaitment, tor life. AI ready .students are working extra hours in downtown ofliees, while oth ers have already positions engiiKcd at graduation time. Six new typewrit ers nud a new lidding machine were recently added to the department. The commercial room has been equip- ped with regular commercial- senls. Office piaetice has been installed and ute being initiated into the inMctics of correspondence, bunking, letter nud card filing. .Manual Training Work The manual training depaitment is now under a new head. The work is being reorganized. A new assistant is heinjr added and tho work of me chanical drawing will he closely cor related with this department. The students are just completing the con struction of twenty-fivo or more large rustic seats and tables which are lo be placed in tho city park. The more advanced studcntH have made several nrtieloH of furniture, aiii'li as filing cases ami tables for the principal's and superintendent's offices. Mnikcd aptitude is shown in this work by many of the students. The special interest they manifest in it nud the faithful care they exert show pructiial capacity in rapid de velopment mid a sense of the wiluo of precision. Domestic Science Popular The school management desenes congratulation on the manner in which it has inspired special interest in the domestic science department. A visit to this deparli'leut at lunch hour will pioe a sui prising i evolu tion to those who have not interested themselves in it sufficiently to ascer tain what it is really accomplishing. For the first time it has worked out' the problem of hot lunches for the students without a loss. From forty to titty of the students take advan tage of this opportunity. A full meal is now served and not a dish of anything: costs over I cents. The girl students aie ortrunixed into groups of two ami llnoe. The gioitp is icnpniiHihlc for the buying, cook ing, -erviug and the Mi.Miieut of all bills. They plan the menu for the tiny and are sent to the markets to bargain for the foodstuffs, later my iug for the Mime, thus connecting (w duties of the home very closely with those of that department. Domestic Ait Itcpui Uncut The depaitment of domestic aits has been much strengthened. Ilesides garment -making, the work of home management, millinery, designing and cutting and lilting are now taught the! advanced students; although much empiiasir, placed upon skill in hand-sewing and needlework, the older pupils use the sewing machines to gieat advantage. Thus tho fund nmentHU in the subdivisions of this department aro not only taught the oretically, hut they aro put to prac tical application, us thev are in the manual tiaiuiug and domestic science dojwrtments. This intensified inter est in tho theory and fidelity in the work of applying it practically. The value of (be lessons thus taufrht may not bo easily overostininted when ear ned into tho work of tho home life.

Stay off the damp ground, avoid ex posure, keep feet dry, est lm meat, drink lots of water and above all take a sjKxiiifiil of salts occasionally to keep duwu uric acid. Khctitustlsui is caused by poisonous toxin, called uric acid, which it gene rated in the bowels and absorbed into the blood. It is the function of tho kidneys to filter this arid from the blood and cast it out in the urine. The pores of the sk:n arc aUo a means of freeing the blood of this impurity. In damp and chilly, cold weather the skin pores are closed, thus forcing the kid neys to do double wotk, they become weak and slugffUh and fail to eliminate this uric acid which keens accumulating and circulating througli the system, eventually settling in the joints and muscles causing stiffness, soreness ami pain called rheumatism.
