No trouble is more common nor more
misunderstood than nervous dyspepsia
People having it think that their nerves
are to blame. and are surprised that they
are not cured by nerve medicines ana
spring remedies; the real seat Of the mis-
chief is lost sight of. the stomach is the
organ TO be looked after.
Nervous dyspeptics often do not have
any pain whatever in the stomach, nor
perhaps any Of the usual symptoms OF
stomach weakness. Nervous hyspepsia
shows Itself not BOO the stomach so much
as i'm nearly every other organ; in some
cases the heart pilpifltes and is irregu-
lar. in Others the kidneys are affected.
in others the bowels arc constipated, Win
headaches. stiil others are troubled WIN

ton Of gas. sour risInes and heartburn.

frinceyille, 'saIl the sense to these National
League playing rules. In fact, can I quite
understand the game as these fellers pla II.
When was here a couple Of weeks ago,
went TO see the Chicagos play the Balti'
mores and tlley didn 'tseemtO donothin' but
argy ike a set OF pesky lawyers.

ment of the good old sport, There was
game down there last Tuesday bet ween the
hoys from the west of the Alton tracks and
those livir' to the east. 1t was red hot,
Iemme tell you, an tf' eastsiders won-32
% 90.
Nov, we got along all right, an finished
the game most peaceable, butstillthere was
one question that sorter puzzled US, an
we've written to Nick Young { decide the
matter 1t was this way: In tn eighth in
min with two out, an the bases full OF tn
eastsde boys, Deacon 81 Warner goes 20
tine bat Now the deacon has speshul bat
that he's monstrous proud OF. IL weighs
five an half pounds, an the businesseend
g. fun of long nails to give it balance an
swingin power. One of these nails, Ireckon,
got showed out by reason OF tn deaoon's
poundin' the bat on the home plate. When
the deacon swings at the ban, that derned
nail sticks in the cover Of the ball, and il
STAYS there Thedeac0n whirls clean around
from tn forceof his blow, an youneyer seen
a more surprised man than he was when he
gets msself together an sees the ball stuck
on the eelid of his bat
"He runs down to first base, carryin'
the bat. Jim Moseley, the first baseman.
takes the bat away from him and picks
the ball off the nail. Then he throws
bone, but by this time three runs had
crossed tn plate, an the game, as it
turned out, was won by that Gurus acci-
dent Now, the boys are all good-natured.
an there wasn't no riot but still they'd
like to have the question settled. Has a
man tn right TO stick the ball on the end
OF his bat an run bases with it? Can he
go as far as first, or can he 30 round an
make it d homer? Can the fielders stop
him an take the ball off his bat? or must
he lay the bat down an let the catcher
get the ball? Or is it foul ball?
1--WE expect TO git an answer from Nick
Youngin cs.y or two. If he decides that
ft Were a foIl ball, of course well pla;

LONDON, July 9.-Turkish affairs ap-
appear to be re.entering an interesting
stage. During the day the porte dis.
patched a circular to its representatives
abroad containing a full defense Of the
Turkish case and declining to consider
any frontier line in Thessaly north Of
the river Penios, which it regards as
the natural boundary. It appears that
the sultan has convinced himself tina
the powers will not resort to coercion
and has decided to test the alleged con.
cert Of Europe to the utmost.
The minister of war has sent tele.
grams to Edhem Pasha announcing the
decision. This accords with all the
news received for the last 10 days. The
Turks are rapidly strengthening their
positions in Thessaly, massing troops a,
Dhomiki and in other ways intrenchine
themselves more firmly. -
