elegant than ever, by reason of the
new china service which Mrs. Roose-
welt lately ordered, and which Is prom

Jan. 1. OF course, there is already a
vast store of rare and beautiful china

remembers the hand-painted service
which Mrs. Hayes ordered, the equally
celebrated additions made by Mrs
Harrison, and the much-criticised al
terations of the historic silver (in-
Guiding the melting and undermining
of Dolly Madison's spoons) made by
Mrs Cleveland. Yet in spite of all of
these, there is not enough china in the
White House of kinds that are suit

dinners-like that to Prince Henry, for
example. The newest design. chosen
by Mrs. Roosevelt. goes back to the
days of our grandmothers. 1t is that

MINISTERS FIGHT
SUNDAY BASEBALL
Report That Montgomery is TO
be Sunday Town Starts Row
MATTERIN CONTEMPLATION
Pickett Springs is the Place Selected
to Have the Game, and 1t Is
Said the Charter Is Very
Broad.
MATTERIN CONTEMPLATION

Montgomery, December 2e.-(Speeial.)-
The announcement in a Memphis paper
that the schedule of the Southern league
Is being arranged with Montgomery as
a Sunday ball town, caused great sur
prise here. The local managers say they
are not yet prepared to discuss the ques-
ton, but 1t is ascertained that the project
is really in contemplation. The franchise
here was awarded to Mr.. Semmes. gen.
eral manager of the old street railway,
which has park of its own near the city.
Still announcement was promptly made
that the park of the new street railway
company out at Pickett Springs will be
used.
Pickett Springs was Incorporated sew
eral years ago and is controlled by the
street railway interests Its charter Is
very broad and the charge was made
at the time that the power was hidden in
it to sell pools on horse racing in spite
of the state law hence the suburban
town can have Sunday ball If it likes I'M
der its own laws.
A prominent minister interviewed to-
night. said that he would bring the mat
ter before the Ministers union next Mon
day, and undoubtedly a strong organized
fight will be made against Sunday ball
in Montgomery and it will be carried to
the legislature, which meets in January.

BASEBALL PEACE
ALL OVER COUNTRY
President PuIIiam of National
League Sees Bright Prospects
ALL WARS WILL BE SETTLED
An Agreement With the American
League Would Put Baseball On Its
Old roofing and Give the
Game New Life.

Nashville. December %. = President
Harry Pulliam of the National League
of Baseball Clubs is in the city, and says
he believes the fight between the Ma
tlonal and American leagues will be ami
cably adjusted next week in Cincinnati.
An agreement just at this time would
have the effect of restoring the old order
of things, says Mr.. Pulliam, and If base
ball were again on its old footing, 1t
would be an immense lift to the game
all over the country. Franchises would
increase in value and the investment of
money in baseball would have the assur-
anee of permanent dividend. It would
give the clubs stability and would encour-
age the managers of the minor leagues
to develop talent
1t is also assured that players salaries
would be reduced, but that would be so
gradual that it would amount to prae-
tically nothing. The great thing would be
the stability which 1t would give fran
chises and which Mr. Pulliam says he
feels assured they will have after the
Cincinnati meeting
Mr.. Pulliam says that the baseball war
is surely approaching an end, and that
the whole country will operate with an
amicable understanding next seasor.

Hired him for his exclusive attendance
by the year and considered the large SAL
)ary paid for such service as part of his
business investment. He did not do this
because he was a hypochondriac, in con-
slant fear Of illness and death; on the
contrary he was an exceptionally robust
man, but he realized that the principal
asset in his enormous business was his
own personal health, and to keep physi-
cally and mentally well and strong was
a business proposition, pure and simple.
1t is so with every business man and
woman. A slight cold in the head or throat
may pass off in a few days, or It may de-

its departure should be FASTENED by
