body and head, and seemed to penetrate my

suffering. lasting about eight hours each
spell.

but none gave relief. finally used b. b, b.
As an experiment, and tn my utter astOniSh-
ment, all pain and suffering vanished after
using three doses. I" the present time |

matter, neither could my physician name
the complaint. The Il. b. b. acted finely

Some Wise Points for Business Men Who
TippIe at Wrong Hours.
Moderate drinkers engaged in pursuits call
ing for judgment and acumen, and who use
liquors during business hours, end, with
scarcely an exception, as financial wrecks,
however successful they may be in withstand
ing the physical consequence Of their indul-
gence. ThouSa.aiS who retain their health
and are never ranked Us victims Of intemper-
ance lose their property, wreck their business
and are thrown into bankruptcy because Of
tipping habits during business hours. These
men are not drunkaris, and only close OBJ
servers can detect the influence Of strong
drink in their department; but nevertheless
liquor gives them false nerve, makes them
reckless, clouds the Judgment and soon in
wolves them in bad purchases, worse sales
and ruinous contracts. Sooner or later it is
shown that the habit of tippling during bust
ness hours Is forerunner Of bankruptcy.
Let every such drinker review his business
transactions for series of years, and answer
whether this statement is not true.

stimulation which effects cool thought, fol

toned to take while at work, even very
slight whifrs Of ether, cloroform or laughing
gas and keep himself all the time, more or

a man, even if able to preserve his health,
would grow reckless, loquacious, and soon
prove no match for a clear-hcaded rival
Liquor is an Indispensable ally wherever vic
tins are systematically fieeced, and its effects
are seen also in the rivalries Of legitimate
business.
The professional gambler keeps free bar,
but never drinks himself when at the table;
and, while n sober, clear-headed, honorable
merchant, dealer or operator would not en-
deavor TO ply his -ival with liquor, he would
gain great advan- ages from the latter's self

not only in saloons and gambling dens but
about boards of trade and stock exchanges
and in every line of business requiring a
clear, cool head. Moderate drinkers who at

The Devil and the Deep Sea"

The old story of the poor soul who was
caught between The devil and the deep
sea, gets a new Illustration from the deal
ing of doctors and drugs with malaria. The
story is soon told: My daughter" said a
lady, had been struggling with malaria for
four years. She was all the time out of
health-pOOr appetite, disordered digestion,
pale earthly color, pain in the head, limbs
and back, and every now and then a right
hard chill. followed by fever. Then we
would send for our doctor and he would
prescribe quinine, just as he did from the
frSt-and 50 kept doing all along until the
name of quinine sounds like the tOlling of
the bell. Clearly between the two, her
health was being ruined and her very life in
peril. She was really between The devil
and the deep sea Sometimes the name is
varied. and it Is called some other inc in
place of quinine, bat it is all the Same-the
old firm with new sign. In this dilema a
lady friend said: Why not try Humph-

Anglican missionaries in the diocese Of

work is done falls on the shoulders Of the
women, and they don't work three months out
of the twelve. When the people are not oil

the sun, idling their time away. They don't,
it seems, like to go to church any better than

PLAYERS HARD TO PLEASE
An Umpire Tells What He Knows Abou
Chronic Baseball Kickers.

Chronic Baseball Kickers.
Now the science Of pitching curved balls
has been carried 50 far that it Is often diff
cult to decide whether tho ball has actually
gone over the plato or not. As it leaves the
pitchers hands the hall may look as IL it was
going many inches to one side or the other
But Just before it reaches the plate it curves
inward or outward, as the case may be
and shoots over the plate just where the
batter wanted it. 1t may deceive the batter
until too late, it may even deceive the umpire,
but it is almost certain to deceive the out
siders who are not so close to the plate and
have not the same opportunity OF judging
Suppose you call this strike. IL the batter
be one Of the visiting team, the crowd re-
oeives your decision with noisy delight He
kicks, and the crowd hisses him. But II he
belongs to the home club the crowd desire to

first base after hit The ball is fielded and
thrown TO the haseman. Ii is difficult to say
which gets there first, ball or runner One
impartial man might think the ball was first,
another might think the runner. But the
crowd is not impartial It makes up its mind
according to its preferences, and if your de-

to stand the kicking Of the nine who lose by
your decision
Indeed, one Of the worst enemies of the um-
pire is the kicking player. In most instances
it is he who gives the audience the cue for
kicking. There are players, Of course, who
never say a word or make a move that would
lead the audience 70 believe they were dis
satisfied with the umpire's rulings But 1
know others who recognize the fact that an
umpire may be ratified" by the hooting of
spectators, and so deliberately raise a dis
turbance with that object in view
Others, again, are chronic kickers, who can
not help giving vent to their feelings in the
excitement of the moment, and who, after the
game, are repentant and beg the umpire's
pardon for their conduct. have often been
asked: why don't you fine such menr Well,
an Old ball player doesn't ike to be hard on
his former brethren. Besides, even il he does
overcome his reluctance, he cannot be sure
that the fine will be paid The club to which

usually, take the part Of the umpire. Instead
Of e1acting the penalty, they often do their
