Johnson Sore on Spalding.

Since then Brush has not overlooked an
opportunity to say nice things about John
son. and, incidentally. Johnson has taken
occasion to declare himself that unless
the National League patched up its diff
ferences at once. he would take hand
and settle the fight. The most effective
Johnson to accept Brush's proposition.
Ihat would virtually kill the National
League. though 1t would still have a six
club circuit. unless there should be q con-
solidation OF the American and National
League clubs In Boston and ST. Louis.
which Is, by no means, out of the uues-
ton.
1t Is no secret that Mr. johnson does not
like the manner In which A. G. Spaldins
has conducted his campaign against Freed
man. Mr.. Johnson believes that there
should be two healthy major league organi-
cations in base ball. He thinks that Spald-
ing has prevented q settlement OF the trou-
bles In the National League and thereby
hurt the game in general. He sees q chance
OF benehttdng his own league by accentins
New York and Cincinnati, two of the best
base ball towns In the country. He has no
reason for fearing Brush and Freedman.
Tor In the American League they would be
In the minority. and, furthermore. there
are reasons for believing that they would
behave and do his bidding. for both have
the greatest respect for him since he has
shown his wonderful ability as an organiz-
er and general base ball man.
Freedman and Brush do not propose to
give IN to Spalding. They see no chance
for victory in the present fight which
threatens to remain deadlock Their base
ball holdings are valuable. and IL they can
place them in the American League they
would be greatly benefited. It would boom

WANTS TO END THE WAR

The following from the Cincinnati Com
mercial-Tribune is interesting. owing to the
close relations between President Ban john
son, John T. Brush and that paper:
There are reason for believing that Gin
cinna1 and New York will be members Of
the American League next season.
Ban Johnson's declaration that his
league might consist of ten clubs next sea-
son, together with the statement that New
York might be member Of his organiza-
tion next season. leads to the belief that
the Napoleon of base ball has about decided
to accept the offer made him by President
John T. Brush few weeks ago to place
Cincinnati and New York In the American
League.
THE Commercial-Tribune printed the ex-
elusive story some days ago that Brush
had held a conference with Johnson and
offered to place the local club. as well as
the New York club, in the American
League. This was denied at the time but
the Commercial-Tribune had the facts Of
the case
Brush. Comiskey and johnson were
closeted in a Chicago hotel for several
hours Brush said he had authority to
speak for Freedman, and he laid his
scheme bare. He pointed out that the
American League could improve its cir
cult by taking Cincinnati and New York
under Its wing. He received no definite an
swer from Johnson but the promise was
made to let him know definitely at some
future time.

Young Plants

Every farmer knows that some plants grow better than others. Soil may be the same and seed may seem the same but some plants are weak and others strong.
 And that's the way with children. They are like young plants. Same food, same home, same care but some grow big and strong while others stay small and weak.
 Scott's Emulsion offers an easy way out of the difficulty. Child weakness often means starvation, not because of lack of food, but because the food does not feed.
 Scott's Emulsion really feeds and gives the child growing strength.
 Whatever the cause of w eak- ness and failure to grow Scott's Emulsion seems 60 find it and set the matter right. Scott & DoWne, Chemists, 4oo Pearl St., New York

LIGHT SEASON FOR BOARDERS AT LAKE WARAMAUG.
 The Wilson hotel has lessened in guests perceptibly since Labor day, and probably before another week goes by other hotels and boarding places will show the same. Norris house, last week, witnessed several de- partureS which materially shortened the season there. The entire summer has been so exceptional in cool and damp weather that at no time has it been manifest that Lake Waramaug was enjoying its liveliest season. Loo the most successful. Carter house has been full during August, likewise Hotel Villa Lucerne, but one month season seems very short and we truly regret to find ourselves in September and obliged to announce the departure of the summer guests, who bring so much cheer and life, but this year have stayed so little time.

But They Declined to Act Upon tho
 Warning.


 Warning.
 Once Vesuvius destroyed two Italian cities in few hours. The people saw the smoke from the volcano but failed to escape in time.
 Where there is smoke there is fire and where there are symptoms of one of the most dangerous of diseases. A feeling of languor, sense of weakness and weariness, drowsiness, giddiness and mental discom- fort. A bad taste in the mouth-the old "coppery" taste. An offensive breath, headache, neuralgia, heartburn, 8 feeling of dullness and weight in the stomach, nausea, dry and feverish skin, constipation, rising of nasty gas into the throat, tongue furred like the moss on 8 tree, irritability. disgust with food.
 Have you any of these symptoms? Either now or sometimes? "Yes," you say, "but don't think they are dangerous" They are signs of danger. They show that the eruption is coming.
 Now what lies at the bottom of all these symptoms? Indigestion, dyspepsia, and an overworked liver. There is but one help, one remedy. Slow up, and for the mis- chief already done, tone up the digestive organs and liver with the new medicine, Calcura Solvent, discovered by Dr. David Kennedy, Kennedy Row, Kingston, N. Y.
