PLAYED RAGGED GAME
Local Aggregation Opens It's 1903 Sea-

Against the Visitors Two-Several
Costly Errors at Critical Moments
Local Players Could Improve.

Costly and numerous errors, and the
the odds in the shape of superior team
play and sharper fielding of the home
team, easily defeated the Cedar faiis
high school nine at the Finkle park
diamond Saturday afternoon. The H.
nal score was IL to 2, and both of the
| visitors runs were earned. A safe
hit, a sacrifice aided by an error, let
Belmer cross the plate for the visitors
in the second inning. Again in the
fourth, a base On balls and two safe
hits put Bangs across for the other.
After that the Falls players gained
only a distant shouting acquaintance
with home.
MCGOWAN, on second, played consid-
erably like a cigar sign, being charged
| with five errors, several of which were
responsible for scores. Bunched hits,
a stolen base, and a sprinkling OF er-
rors, allowed the locals to gain a lead
of six In the second inning. TO this
they added one in the third, one In
the fifth, one in the sixth and two In
the seventh. The Cedar Falls team
showed the lack Of team play, falling
to pieces badly at times when the
bases were full. The home team
started the season with progress, but
leaves considerable to be desired in the
base running and batting. In the lat
ter there are several Who are especially
weak. The team should make good
during the season. however. as there
is noticeable improvement in several
ways. Salisbury, behind the bat, is
steadier than last year, and is throw
Ing to second stronger. Kent has also
improved in his speed, but his delivery
is too open and his change of speed
rather apparent. Woods at short, Ans
drews at first, and Duncan in the field,
all played fast, snappy games. john
son, of Cedar Falls, and Lloyd Maxwell
acted as uinpires. The attendance was
about 100.

much as we would regret to set q
precedent Of a substantial increase III
wages, our regret is tempered by the
fact hat 1t mas been done almost every
where else, as any newspaper reader
will know, and this same thing is likely
to take place almost universally In the
country in the spring election of teach
ers. as has been shown by the offers
that u teachers a w already received.
Should we come in too late with our
offers we should lose IL present force
Of teachers. and on account OF the pre-
yailing increase, we shall have to pay
to novices the higher wages that would
have retained our experienced and eff
cient teachers.
"The example has been set In Mar
shalltown by the city council. which
has increased the salary of the clerk
from 5000 to $1,000 per year, or 33 1-3
per cent; and also III salary OF the
street commissioner from $3.50 to 5000
per year., or an increase of about Ia
per cent.

The report. states that 1t was based

might desire still more favorable re-

CURES WITH CALCIUM SALTS.
Or. Loeb Discovers New Remedy for
Nervous Diseases.

Chicago. Feb. 23.-Dr. Joseph H.
Loeb has discovered that diseases
such as st. Vitus' dance, locomotor
ataxia and sleeplessness can be cured
by administering calcium salts. that
is. such salts as are found in well
water and many foods. Announce
ment of this discovery in scientific re-
search by the. former head of the de-
partment OF physiology at the univer-
sity of Chicago has just been made.
Simply stated, the conclusion is that
the presence of calcium salts In the
muscles is what prevents their twich-
ing; that practically all nervous dis
eases are caused by the absence Of
the calcium and that. therefore, to re.
store normal conditions and effect a
cure Is to dose with calcium salts.
