ing is habit that is universally in

injurious. Have you tried Grain-O?

Questions and Answers.

FREMONT. March 24.-To the Sporting
Editor of The Bee: / suppose you get nu-
merous inquiries regarding the game laws.

If those of our readers who reside In
the most highly favored sections of this
country, where the climate is healthy and
invigorating with a dry and tonic atmos-
phere, will look about them they will see
greater or less number of their friends and
neghbors dying of consumption, while
many others have all eady been carried on
by that dread malady.
These deaths have occurred from time to
time amid the refreshing prairie breezes of
summer; in fair and mellow days of au-
tumn, and also in the dry and sunny
seasons of a southern winter.
Such deaths amid such favorable sur
roundngs afford positive and convincing
proof that climate alone will not cure con-
sumption; that neither pine laden breezes
nor bracing mountain air will restore weak
lungs on build up constitution that Is
being undermined and broken down by the
insidious germs of n fatal disease.
But, on the other hand many thousands
of testimonials from grateful people all
over this country, who have been cured by
tho DR.. Slocum system of treatment, and
are today in the enjoyment of perfectly
restored health and strength afford the most
convincing, evidence that this treatment
aided by favorable climatic conditions and
surroundings, is a positive cure for con-
sumption and all other chronic diseases of
the throat, chest and lungs
Therefore, those who go to the noun
tains, the seHshore or to southern climates,
as well as those who already reside in such
favored localities, should not fail to take
the DR.. Slocum system of treatment II they
wish to derive the full benefits of favorable
climatic conditions and scientific medica-
tion.
The DR.. Slocum System of Treatment
Consisting of Four Preparations) is both
medicine and food The medicines used in
it allay the cough and lung irritation, heal
the soreness and subdue the pains in the
throat, overcome shortness of breath, i'm
prove the appetite and digestion, and
bring comfort, rest and refreshing sleep,
while its food properties are building up the
constitution, enrching the blood and infus-
ing the sufferer with new life and vigor.
No single remedy will accomplish all
this but the Four Remedies embodied in the

TIMELY CHAT FOR THE FANS
Items of Interest in the Realm of the
Sport that Will Soon he
All the Go.

There was never such a muddle in upper
base ball circles as exists at the present
time. The nabobs are scrapping like so
many felines and CANNES with every indica-
tion that they propose to keep it up. The
schedule that was adopted last week indi-
Gates that the big league will at least start
the season with dozen clubs and may
continue through the year with the same
number Of stations, but the strife that is
now tearing the ranks of the magnates
asunder is nothing more than a premonition
CT the dissolution that is bound to come
when the ten years agreement expires in
1901. The hotbed of dissenson just now is
Louisville, which is very much dissatis
fed with its place on the schedule and ap-
plies such pet terms to the men that made
it up as worse than midnight assassins,
robbers of a more delicate caliber than
etc, ETC." The schedule gives
Rourbonville but six Sunday games at home
instead OF the usual seventeen or eighteen.
AS Louisville is a poor ball town and gets
all its receitps from the Sunday games, this
schedule has given rise to the cry that the
magnates, such as Hart, Brush and Soden,
have conspired to freeze out Louisville and
the other clubs which refused to gracefully
withdraw from the league or to sell out at
reasonable figure. This Is but a speci-
men Of the wrangling that is going on and
shows how the wind is blowing.

Weekly Grist Of the Things Athletic that
Interest the Redhots,
SOME PALAvER OF THE PUGlLlSTS
Gossip About the Men Who VIII soon
Fight for Championship OF the
worId-Other News of the
Squared Circle.

The world OF the glovemen is in a state
OF unusual quietude just now, sort OF
reaction after the prosperous winter OF the
game that has just closed. Some OF the
topnotchers are indulging in little dinky
ARRAYS but the big majority are taking
a much needed rest. About the only battle
that looms up above the fstic horizon OF
the near future Is the coming struggle be-
tween Fitzsimmons and the burly Jeffries,
the articles for which we're signed by the
principals and the Coney Island Athletic
club last week, a $2,5OO forfeit being posted
by each Of the parties at the same time.
This is to be another daylight battle as it
is slated to take place between noon and
2 p. m. on the afternoon Of May 20. This
is to enable the moving picture men to
get shot at the men, for the club that
pulls off the affair and the two principals
expect to get the biggest profits from the
fight in this way. Dan Stuart is said to
have cleared up a mint of money over his
moving picture representation of the Cor
bett- Fltzsmmons fight, but the thing was
a novelty then, and it is very questionable
whether the views of the forthcoming fight
will take as well unless Jeffries succeeds
in grasping the last chance by pulling
away from the wasp wasted blacksmith q
winner
That the big Californian is eager to meet
the champion was well shown in the spirit
with which he accepted the articles of
agreement In no clause is this better in
dicated than the one in which George Siler
is named as the referee of the bout. Fitz
and Siler are as close as peas in a pod and
when the Chicago sporting writer's name
was first mentioned Jeffries demurred He
did not question Sier's honesty or com
potency, but he did intimate that he had
too friendly a Feeling for Red Robert.
No other name was mentioned by the
champion for the refereeship, however, and
rather than have the meeting postponed or
perchance declared off altogether the
boilermaker gracefully acquiesced to the
wishes of the blacksmith.
In talking about the coming battle JEFF
fries Is more free from the petty jealousles
that poison the judgment and warp the hard
common sense thal the average boxer He
does not seem to be sweled up like most
of the glovemen upon whom Dame Fortune
smiles Fighting is a business PROPOSE
