the whole outfit for a long jaunt through
the country. The party penetrated a
wilderness several miles beyond French
Lick Spring. The trip took up an entire
morning. From French Lick back to
West Baden Hurst sprinted his men

game. Though an outfielder, he put up
a game at second base that would be hard
TO beat, beside which hedemonstrated his
prowess with the bat by knocking a home

A dispatch from Waycross, Ga, has the
following TO say: Baseball practice un-
der the Burns regime has departed some
what from the Ansonian formula. one
week Of field work at West Baden and
another at Waycross have shown that the
Chicago team is not 10 be driven to the
same arduous conditioning as in previous
wears The effect of the new plan Is
shown in the improved temper OF the
men. Whether or not ii will put them in
better shape to win games remains 10 be
seen.
The noticeable feature Of this years
spring practice has been the tightening Of
the actual work done. Anson was a great
believer in the taking of Of flesh. He
was a heavyweight himself. and worked
hard every year TO take off a few pounds
The same reduction theory he was in
clined to apply to the other players. AT
any rate ne kept them at pretty con-
stant practice.
II is Burns notion that many players
need building up instead Of tearing down
lie thinks they viii be stronger II not
trained down too fine. So he relaNes the
work as much as possible, and leaves
much liberty to the individual players.
About an hour each forenoon, besides the
daily bah game. is the sum of what Is
required Some Of the players who feel
the burden Of superfuous flesh, work
longer if they see fit.
Arson believed he could get the best re-
suits by pushing mis- men. Some OF the
players called 1t nagging. Burns rarely
interferes while the practice is in prog
ress He has started out on the assump-
ton that each man on the team has 1t in
his heart TO win, and he relies on him to
work to thai end. He is not Indifferent to
the play. and occasionally shouts sug-
geStion when fielder has planted hlm-
self in the wrong spot for batsman or
when some pitcher is warming up too Wig
orously. But no player has been called
down. except jokingly, for any misplay
whatever.

Every class of people has sick kidneys. The
busy business man rushing through life on

daily puts upon the kidneys. The mechanic,
forced to assume unnatural positions, stoop-
ing and straining at his work, does not know
that his backache is simply kidney ache. The
clerk on his feet continually, leaning over a
counter or desk railroaders, conductors, en-
gineers, street car men subject to Earring, all
have backsche from the kidneys. Women at
their household duties, boys and girls at play
overtax the kidneys and give them more

the kidneys warn you when in trouble, that
they cry out for help. Don't neglect the
warning; don't neglect bad back. weak,

A Queens Lovely Hands.

"You are quite right in your surmise
that Her Majesty possesses wonderful
ly beautiful hands; though they are by
no means small for her height, they
are plump, white and unwrinkled.
Would you like to know the reason?
asked the manicure of P w.
"Well, as you are doubtless aware,
Her Majesty is great knitter; indeed.
she is invariably at work with her
needles either at scarfs or mittens for
the poor, little vests for her great
grandchildren, OF cot and bed quilts.
The mere exercise induced by knitting,
and the positions assumed by the
hands tend to whiten, refine and keep
them in good shape, while in the same
way the hands never look more attrac-
tive than when so employed.
Cooks have prettily shaped hands and
arms, because they do so much with
them. Kneading bread is one of the
best beautifiers the hands can have.
Why women who work much in the
house usually fail to secure pretty
hands is by not drying them we'll after
each washing, and by not wearing
gloves for rough labor, such as the
cleaning of CRATES.
aOf course, it Is a bit of trouble al
ways to put ON gloves, but smooth, I'M
wrinkled hands are worth a good deal
to every woman, or should be, think. >

UNSEEN HEROES.
FAITHFUL STEWARDS IN THE STOKE
HOLES.

They Suffer Below Decks While the NIer
Above DO the Fighting and Get AL
GIory-A Part of the Log Of the
Oregon.
At Manila, off Havana, before San
tiago, in storm or in quiet seas, the
true heroes are those in the stokehole
With matches battened, far down be-
low the water line, knowing nothing OF
what is going on, it may be to go down
with the boat without hope of an es-
cape, with death in horrible forms
threatening on all sides, the men in the
fire and engine rooms serve their
country and serve it WELL On the deck
behind the guns, the comparative free
dom and openness of the conflict stimu-
late; down below it is the grimness of
duty with nothing to relieve the ten
sion and with surroundings that make
for physical depression if not mental
despair.
Here is bit of the log of the Ore
gon:
Con the morning of April 80, wealth
er was scorching hot; down in the
fire and engine rooms the temperature
reached $50 degrees Fahrenheit. The
Oregon plunged ahead at a speed of
fourteen and half knots, with only
natural draught. For ten hours she
ran at this speed. In this run James
McGaragle, first fireman, was prostrat-
ed by heat, but in a few minutes re-
covered and insisted on being taken
back to his post. At no time, it is said,
during the entire voyage was the tenn
perature in the engine room below 125
degrees"
This but family pictures the facts.
They can with difficulty be realized by
those who find temperature Of min
ety-eight in the free air, and with the
breeze in their face, oppressive and
maddening. And yet the heroes of the
stokehole stand this and more; even
when the body gives way the mind still
remains steadfast to its indomitable
purpose to do and dare all. With the
names Of those who, on deck or in tur-
ret, on fair field, riding rough, charg-
ing with set face meet glory, should
be set on high above them the heroes
OF the stokehole.-Philadelp Press
