We all know that the air passages III the
head were made TO heat and dry the air
before il reaches the bronchial tubes and
lungs. We ali know that one single drop
of water in the windpipe will almost
cause strangulation, and that moisture of
ANY KIND cannot enter the bronchial
tubes and lungs How, then, can you
expect TO cure diseases OF these passages
with liquid medicines, which are simply
forced through the nostrils into the mouth,
and are prevented by nature itself from
going farther This attempt 10 drown
the bacilli of catarrh, which thrive and
grow on moisture, would be amusing, If
it were not for the serious injury which
often results from the use OF strong liquid
medicines forced into the delicate air
pa ssages by powerful sprays, doucbes and
atomiZers. The difference between the
old and new method of treating Catarrh,
Bronchitis and Consumption is so great
that anyone can readily understand why

Pops EARLY DAYS.
Sralding Saw Anson When He Played
ut Marshalltown, Iowa.


ut was when I was playing with Rock
ford,'' said 4. G.. Spalding the other day, in
Chicago, that l first met Anson. We took
a trip out in Iowa and among our games
was one at Marshalltown. The Ansons
were the athletes of the town; they prac-
ticaIlyownedft, too. Anson'sfather pla yed
center field on the team, and Pop was
the second baseman. l can remember ms
as ne appeared to me then. He was big,
aw-boned, loose Jointed fellow, but as
lively as greyhound. One of our players
smashed a long hit away into deep center.
Ans turned around and yelled to his father:
. Go 1T, dad! Ketch that ball!'
but his father couldn't reach it, and got
a sharp call-down from his son. / was
pitching in that game, and when l acci-
dentally hit Ans with the ball he walked
down from the plate and said:
Young man, did you mean to hit me a
purpose?'
There was so much In his demeanor that
1 kept the ball away from she plate every
time he came up to bat afterward. We
played two games In Marshalltown and won
both. The Iowa boys lost lots Of money on
the contests. but they were beaten fairly.
Anson played such good ball that we didn't
forget him in a hurry, and the next year
he was member of our team"

1T WAS NOT CONSUMPTION.

We present this week the case of Mr.
y. A. Dunning, of Hyattsville, Maryland,
City address, Maltby Building
Mr.. Dunning is well known in Washington,
having been ensIgeslin newspaper work in
this vicinity for years. He was formerly
editor of the National Economist and Ma
tional watchman.
The treatment of his case shows the i'm
portance of correct diagnosis. The
doctors Were mistak en- as to the nature of
his disease and never would have cured
him. But here is the story as told by
himself:
Just what caused my asthma I'm the first

THE REDs-coLoNELs DEAL.

IH1nS Coming 0f IT.
There is Yet chance of a deal being
made between the Cincinnati and Louisville
clubs. There has been q great deal of dis
c,ssion about tins deal, and 1t is claimed
by a Louisville man that, had not the st.
Louis club been put on the market it
would have gone through long ago. The
Sporting Life snys in this weeks issue OF
the paper:

1t is Understood that the proposal for
this trade came from Mr. Brush himself,

all explained now, aud, so far as Louisville

ARIzoSA's pETRIFIED FOREST.
Proposition to Protect 1t Wit h
the Law.

Land Commissioner Hermann is now
at work on a special report to the
Secretary of the Interior, recommend
ing that forest reserve be made out
of the petrified forest of Arizona. Re
cent reports received by the Interior
Department about the condition of this
forest indicate that it is rapidly being
used up for commercial purposes, and,
unless the Government steps in to stop
the despoilment, the whole forest,
which is one of the greatest natural
curiosities in the world, will disappear.
There is now building in Denver a
hotel, all the walls of which are to be
faced with the silicified wood taken
from the forest, and all the tables for
the hotel are also to be made of it. At
this rate of consumption it would not
be long before all the petrified wood
would be used up. Commissioner Her
mann thinks that there is immediate
necessity for action on the part of the
department. In his opinion the best
way in which the forest can be pre-
served is to make it forest reserve.
The forest is located near Holbrook.
in Apache county, Ariz. The largest
and finest specimens of silicified wood
trunks of trees and stumps with por-
tionS of the roots are found there, con-
verted into stone as dense and hard as
the finest agate. Every cell and every
fiber of the former wood is preserved in
stone A forest of trees appears TO
have been entombed in the rocks and
to have been preserved by a slow pro-
cess of replacement by silica from solu-
tions permeating the bed. Subse-
quently the surrounding sediments
were washed away, but the enduring
fossils of the trees remained.
Tons upon tons of specimens have
been taken away by collectors and
dealers. A company has been formed
in South Dakota for cutting and polish
ing the stone for architectural and dec
orative work. Sections of these trees,
four feet in diameter and large enough
for the tops of tables, have been cut
and polished. Many specimens were
shown at the Paris Exposition. where
they were greatly admired for the per-
feet preservation of every detail OF
structure of the wood, for the very
high polish, and for the exquisite in

Jack has said repeatedly that unless
the inducements to play here were suf-
ficienily attractive he would enter busi-

either President Wagner or Manager Brown
might run over 10 Baltimore and talk
business with their new first baseman, but
neither did. Ted Sullivan turned up In
