safety. scoring on a hit by Brown
Flaherty cracked out n clean 2-bag-
ger in the seventh, and was brought
in out OF the wet by O'Connor, who
died in the effort. In the eighth
singles were made by Feenan,
McQuaid and Elsie. Feenan was the
only man to reach the happy spot.
In the ninth Rock Island rallied.
O'Rourke received polthog in the
slaves and was passed to first Brott
flew out. Botenus was allowed to
touch palms with Flaherty through an
error by Elsie at second. Bay sacri-
feed successfully. A high ball
wound up Chosen. O'Rourke came
under the wire. Then Doonin sent a
hummer over into the grass patch,
clearing the bases. and adding two
more tallies and tieing the score. In
the 18th Rothermel hit to center, the
fielder fumbled, and Bobby cinched
second. and marched across the plate
while O'Rourke and Brott were roll
ing up their little balls of yarn. After
two men were gone Botenus put one
over to short and the ball was
dropped and Botenus reached the
first post safely. Bay singled and
Botenus scored. Here our old friend
Mr.. Dooin-the spectators were now
singing his name-once more brought
into play his hittatorial abilities.
There was n smash. The answer was
two scores-Clossen and Bay. Then
Doom fell by the wayside attempting
to reach the third sack. The 1owaus
made another dash, but they landed
no game. 1t was all over. Here s
how it happened:

The aucients believed that rheuma-
tism was the work of demon within
n man. ANY one who has had an at
tack of sciatic or inflammatory rheu-
matism will agree that the iniliction
is demoniac enough to warrant the
belief. 1t has never been claimed
that Cham berlain's Pain Balm would
cast out demons, but it will cure
rheumatism. and hundreds bear testi-
mony to the truth of this statement.

this quick relief which it affords is

A BABY TRAVELS

One That Suits.

A well known ply stefan states in an

seems no reason why any child should
not have the exact food necessary for
its individual requirements. Yet we
have cases which 90 from one food to

right food could be found. all would
be well with the child. That this is
true we know, for many cases that
have been given up as hopeless, re-
cover on certain food.
The difficulty in feeding artificial
baby foods is that too many of them
are prepared with some form of pep
sin or other drug which does not
agree with the child. Good cows
milk is one of the best foods for
cases the child is unable to digest

cATARRH OF THE STOMACH
a Pleasant, Simple but Safe and EfrectuaI
Cure for 1t.


Catarrh of the stomach has long
been considered the next thing to in
durable. The usual symptoms are a
full or bloating sensation after eating,
accompanied with sour or waterv ris-
ings, n formation of gases causing y
pressure on the heart and lungs, an
difficult breathing; headaches, tickle
appetite, nervousness and a general
played out, languid feeling
There is often foul taste in the
mouth, coated tongue and if the in
terror of the stomach could be seen
| it would show Shiny, inilamed con-
dition.
The cure for this common and OBJ
stinate troI BILE is found in treat
ment which causes the food to be
readily, thoroughly digested before it
has has time to ferment and irritate
the delicate mucous surface of the
stomach. To secure prompt and
healthy digestionis the one necessary
thing to do and when normal diges-
ton is secured the catarrhal conditions
will have disappeared.
According to DIR. Harlanson the
safest and best treatment is To use
after each meal a tablet, composed of
diastase, aseptic. pepsin, a little nuX.
golden seal and fruit acids. These
tablets can now be found ut all drug
stores under the name of Stuart 5
Dyspepsia Tablets, and not being 4
patent medicine can be used with per-
feet safety and assurance that healthy
appetite will follow their regular use
after meals.
n. j. Booher, of 2710 Dearborn
street, Chicago, ILL.,, says: .'Catarrh
| is a local condition resulting from
a neglected cold in the head,
whereby the lining membrane of the
nose becomes inilamed, and the pois-
onous discharge therefrom passing
| backward into the throat reaches the
stomach, thus producing cattarrh of
the stomach. Medical authorities
prescribed for me for three years for
catarrh of the stomach without cure,
but today 1 am the happiest of men
after using only one box of Stuart s
Dyspepsia Tablets. l cannot find APP
propriate words to express my good
feeling l have flesh, appetite and
sound rest from their use.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets is the
safest as well as the simplest and
most convenient remedy for any
form of Indigestion, catarrh of the

GA History of Japanese Literature
is in the series of "Literatures of the
World edited by Edmund Gosse and
published by D. Appleton & Co. The
volume deals with the history of Jap
anese literature, which has been so
imperfectly explained by students in
oul own language. A work of this
kind is fraught with serious difficult
les, because of the differences not only
in language but in thought and senti-
ment also. The author has followed
mainly the great movement of Japan
csc literature, treating the more inn
portant writer's at length. Through
the whole book the interest is strong
ly held by tracing the influence of
China, because this nation bears the
same relation to Japanese thought and
life as Rome and Greece bear to Eu-
rope. The other potent influence has
been that of Buddhism. The book is
of great value to the student of this
fascinating people. Pub
lished by D. Appleton & Co. $3.50

day evening with such hattering sue
cess that they were. easily induced to
repeat it Tuesday night. Those who
saw the last performance say it was
even better than the first. The plot is
unique and affords opportunity for
the display OF the talent of each ac-
tress in the line for which she is hest
adapted. and the grace and finish with
which each part was represented sug-
gests the idea that Kinsley has an ex-

ed their knowledge of parliamentary
law by all talking at once on every
available occasion. The great trans
formation scene produced results that
captured the house and the ladies must |
certainly feel gratified to know that |
their efforts were so fully appreciated
for the applause was fattering and
resulted in the boquet being brought
