No ball player got fame and fortune
as quickly as Napoleon Lajoie, second
baseman and captain Of the Clevelands
From the time he entered the big
league" he has been a wonder, taking
lrst place as a heavy batter, and he
is today the best paid and greatest ball
player IN the world.
The hard work OF last season threw
him into an illness which lasted all
winter and spring. His magnificent
frame was so reduced that it was stat
ed in the newspapers that he could
never again appear on the field. But
10 the delight of the lovers Of the game
he appeared with his club, looking
stronger. hitting harder and playing a
better game than ever.
OF his recovery from shattered
health to perfect form, Lajoie says
During my illness / did not begin TO
improve till l took Father Johns
Medicine. 1t quickly built up my body
to its former strength and made me
active as at any time in my career.
Now l carry a bottle of the medicine
with me on the trips with my club and
it keeps me well all the time"

nasketbaII Manaaers Q Meet.

A special meeting OF the National
basketball League has been called for
Sunday to discuss the situation that has
arisen through the expressed detcrmi-
nation of the star members Of the
Camden team TO jump their contracts
with Manager Morgenweck, and play
with the Pittsheld, Mass. team. All
the club owners are considerably
wrought up over the probability Of the
League being disrupted IL Camden was
to drop out ana yesterday the mag
mates were in communication with
Manager Morgenweck suggesting plans
whereby they thought his team could
be strongly reconstructed and the
League kept intact. Mr. Murgenwecls
believes this can be done. and said last
night that If present plans do not mis-
carry he could place good team IN the
field. Among the schemes advanced is
one TO transfer the Burlington team to
Camden, but the terms set forth are
not az all acceptable to Mr.. Morgen-
week, and It Is not probable that any
thing VIII be accomplished ON this line

Get Your Products a Reputation.
Nearly all the apples on the market
have no ones name on the barrels. and
It is well for a great many Of them that
there is no name on them, for no one
would care TO be responsible for the
contents of many barrels we see, which
are topped Off at the ends with good
apples and stuffed with trash in the
middle. If the grower and packer had
put his name on these barrels it would
have simply answered a good purpose
10 prevent any one from buying them a
second time. But these dishonest pack
ers never put their names on the bar

Of the name of variety supposed to be

Of a barrel of apples which were so

them as Baldwins, they were so much

pie could we find in the barrel, and no
signs Of scab were on them, as is gen

ORIGIN.
OF a Famous Human Food,


The story of great discoveries or in
ventlons Is always OF interest
An active brain worker who found
himself hampered by lack OF bodily
strength and vigor and could not carry
out the plans ana enterprises he knew
how TO conduct was led "a study varl-
GUS foods and their effects upon the
human system. IN other words be-
fore he could carry out his plans he
had TO find a food that would carry
him along and renew his physical and
mental strength
He knew that q food that was q
brain and nerve builder. (rather than
a mere fat maSer). was universally
needed. He knew that meat with tho
average man does not accomplish the
desired results He knew that the soft
gray substance in brain and nerve cen-
tres Is made from Alhumen and Phos-
phate of Potash obtained from food
Then he started 10 solve the problem
Careful and extensive experiments
evolved Grape Nuts, the now famous
food. Grape Nuts contain the brain
and nerve building food elements in
condition for easy digestion. The re-
suit OF eating Grape-Nuts daily IS
easily seen IN q marked sturdiness ard
activity OF the brain and nervous sys-
tem making il q pleasure for ono ia
carry on the daily duties without a.
tigue or exhaustion. The food s. in
no sense a stimulant but - simply food
which renews and replaces tho dany
waste OF brain and nerves,
Its flavor Is charming and being fully
ana thoroughly cooked at the factory
O. is served instantly with cream.
The Signature of the brain worker

on each genuine package Of Grane-
Nuts.

Plant Food In soiI.


Every farmer knows that old plan of
testing soil by analysis is Of no great
practical use. There is plenty of plant
food locked up in almost any soil. The
trouble is to get 1t into the crop. 1t is
not in right condition for present use
because not soluble. The department
Of agriculture is now perfecting a new
plan to test soils by finding the amount
of plant food in the soil moisture. This
Is the only part Of the plant food which
the crop can use. The plan looks sen
sible and is in line with the experience
Of farmers. 1t may soon become possi-
bic to test and compare soils in a cor
rect and reliable way If the depart
ment's new plan fulhlls expectations

said to Grim's credit that very few

MISS eRIScoM BEATEN
Defeated at Golf by Mrs. 7. w. Rsath
Jr, Of RlVerton.

Golf surprises were the least Of the
notable features surrounding the Sec
ond days play in the individual cham
pionship tournament of the Womens
Golf Association Of Philadelphia. at
Noble. yesterday. That Miss Frances
H.. Griscom, the former national and
local title holder, who had led the field
in the qualifying round should be put
out Of the contest by Mrs. r. w. Reath,
Jr, Of Riverton, "a promising golfer
was surprise enough IN itself but this
was as nothing compared 20 the ex-
traordinary action Of the association
officials in changing the drawings for
the round preparatory to the start Of
the days play. Whatever the reason,
the fact remains that an entirely new
drawing was made and i'm this depar-
ture the local Womens Golf Associa-
tion has set a unique standard that
the golnng world i'm general viii be
more than dubious In following.
Instead of meeting Mrs. Fox. as
originally drawn. Miss Griscom tried
conclusions with Mrs. Reath. and 10
the general surprise met hoe defeat. 1t
was not that the Rlverton player was
responsible for anys particularly fast
golf Certainly she played good
game which was to be expected of her
after the recent tournament az EaVer
ford and in the previous days qualify
ing round. Miss Griscom had the ad.
vantage OF the oaddieing abilities OF
Miss Rhona Adair, Great Britain's lad,
golf champion, but there was apparent
ly no influence that could have borne
material benefit upon the former cham
pion's gQfie. She was apparently
hopel9ssly at sea in the heavy going
thrQngh the fair green, and failed ia
Geet any distance In the round. Mrs
kReath was steady while not brilliant
and after being 3 up at the turn. she
had no dimeylty in winning out by 8
