THINGS WE
LIKE BEST
Why is it They so Seldom
Agree With Us?

What's the reason the things we like
best so seldom seem to agree with US?
Maybe it's because we Overeat of them.
Then follows a fit of indigestion.
Only lasts day or two perhaps. But
It's most uncomfortable day or two.
We don't mean to abuse our stomachs
but we all do it more or less. We see
things we want and can't resist
the longing for them. When it's too
late we regret our rashness. But
there's a way to escape the conse-
quenceS of such indiScretions. A dose
of good digestant like Kodol Dys-
pepsia Cure will relieve you at once.
Indigestion is always due to the
same cause. Your stomach is too weak
to digest what you eat. 1t needs rest.
You can't rest it by going without
food. That would mean starvation.
But Kodol Dyspepsia Cure will rest it.
1t does the stomach's work, In the
mean time the tired organ is gaining
fresh strength. Before long it will be
as strong as ever. You don't have to
diet. Kodol Dyspepsia Cure will di-
gest any kind of Wholesome food.

Scientific men do a. lot of playing with kites. They have taken the kite from the realm of toys and made it useful and thoroughly practical ad- junct of research. Old records tell of the use of kites in warfare, and there are all sorts of tales about the sport of kite fighting in China Kite flying as sport in the United States has made wonderful jumps. The possibili- ties of the kite in scientific lines are unlimited. The photographer relies on the well constructed flyer for pie lures that could only be obtained by costly and dangerous balloon ascen- sions.
 But in the department of transpor-. tation at the coming St. Louis fair kites will have a big place alongside the airships and balloons. At Bayonne. N. J., there is kite corps which has applied to the worlds fair authorities for permission to exhibit it's kites and take part in the Kite contest of the aerial tournament. Of course, the corps will be given the chance to do so. The secretary of the kite corps, ". H. Mitchell, writes as follows:

No one who has followed basel all 1 will deny .Ruben Waddell the distinc! tion of .beingfthe most eccentric play eI i in fast company. Since hea stopped pitching out on the Pacific slope. be- cause he was not given a suit of clothe es the regular reward for home run at Los gAngel les after earning it. this big, raw-boned, but exceedingly cley- CT twirler has once more pitched him- self intokaS niche with "Christy'' Mathewson, that other southpaw, Jesse Tannehill, and Noodles" Hahn.
 Waddell is a pitching marvel. From June 26 when he first appeared in a game for the Athletics of Philadel- phia, he has struck out 127 men, had 1o7 hits made off his delivery-once shutting out his opponents without d hit or run, and several times getting away without more than one or two hits being made, Forty-four runs were made on him in that time up to the middle of August and he earned nine victories in 14 full games pitched. Asshe pitched 147 Innings int tstfsue his. work was equal +o-lS- full games. And ssRube''gis scarcely und erstoodsby the baseball men. He is philosopher.
 It has been my privilege when Ed ward-that's his 'dressed-up" name- was dealing in some of his homilies to be listener. Swatting new fielding glove, for he always likes to break in his gloves off the field, ssRube'' would push his chair back -and make some observations. No one has copyrighted his aphorisms and no one has printed them I submit few:

 Every man struck out is so much saved on the wear and tear of the bodies of your teammates.
 It is not what a ball player ought to do that draws his salary.
 Every ball game ever played lasted no longer. than third of a second if it was close contest. Games are won and lost in that fraction of time, and the rest of the exhibition is sssfiller.'' ;
 Magnates have the trust microbe running bases for them. It won't be long before these microbes get all the ball players. .
 The big cities have too much of good baseball and the little towns have too little. If was the best player in the land I'd get away to play at my coun- try home Independence day
 My right hand does not know what my left is doing-else would not be a southpaw pitcher.
 Diamond heroes of to-day may be just plain farmers tomorrow. Keep close to the farmers; they last longer than ball players. When you hear a ball player telling how eccentric Rube is, set him down as a fellow can strike out
 Ball players overlook the versatil- ity. I can play the clown in a circus and eat glass in a sideshow. With training could cutcoupons.
 Opportunity only pitches them over the plate once for you in life. If you strike out, Despair strikes you into the bleachers of Oblivion.

 Two Years Work.

Dreyfuss Says Club is Not Owned by
 Andrew Carnegie and Offers 1000
 Yesterdays Rain Made State Ball
 News Scarce.
 Barney Dreyfuss is having trouble getting his champions into the fold. Yesterday morning MT Dreyfuss had a conference with Pitchers Chesbro and Tannehill with view of getting them to sign for next season. The demands of the two twirlers staggered j. burg president. q want two years contract calling for $17,000," said Chesbro. "I'll sign for the same fig ures,' chimed in Tannehill. Mir Drey- fuss gave long. low whistle. Is that all?v he said, softly. Yes, that's all, said Chesbro, who acted as spokesman for the pair, sand we'll get it or we Il jump to the Amerisan league.' MT Dreyfuss walked into the hotel bar To regain his composure, and to think 1t over. He was gone long time. When he came out he again jo1ned his artists of shoots and slants. Boys he said, 'sthe Pittsburg club is not owned by Andrew Carnegie, nor are we in husi- ness solely for your benefit. I'll give each of you $11,000 for two years, and if this isn't satisfactory you may jump to the Johnson crowd if you see fit. Will you accept. Both Chesbro and Tannehiil refused Mir Dreyfusss fatter- ing bid for their services, and said they would leave Pittsburg, although it is known that the offer made to them is $1 900 in excess of that promised by the American league. It is not be Iieved that they will carry out their threat.
