The "Cop,sv Home Rum.

Compulsory baseball is the latest or
der in the Duluth CAIinn) police de-
partment. The patrolmen are to re-
port for baseball the same as for target
practice or drill. This outdoor exercise
is expected to keep the officers in fine
physical trim, working off surplus
flesh, hardening the muscles and Incl
dentally teaching them to catch what
ever comes their way.
One veteran of the department OBJ
jected very strenuously to the new or
der. He had never been I'm a game in
his life, vet he performed feat ut the
preliminary game that probably had
never been equaled in the history Of
the great national game. There were
three men on bases and two strikes on
him. Then he cleared the bases and
brought I'm four runs without so much
as touching the ball.
he got his base on balls and, not
having played before, started to steal
second. despite the fact that there was
a man on that base and another at
third. Tire opposing team of police got
so excited trying to get him out that
every man on the patch was able to
cross the plate, and the kicking veteran
was informed that he had made n home
run without hitting the ball.

CHOICE MISCELLANY
Great violin. Scarce.

Taking the fact that Joseph Joachim,
the violinist. has used up Stradivari-
us violin in his career,as an artist as a
text, an English writer sees the danger
in the not very distant future that the
great instruments of the past will soon
er or later either go to pieces or enter
the cabinets of millionaires. where the
artists cannot use them.
Not only will the masterpieces of
Stradivarius, Amati, Guarnerius and
their pupils go into oblivion, but there
will be no adequate instruments to
take their places. Thirty years ago a
good Strad could be bought for at most
50, 500, whereas now the same instru-
ment cannot be bought under $4,000.
The remark by Joachim that those
who could not afford Strads should buy
Guadagnini violins has driven the price
of the instruments of this maker up
from $3.50 to $500. The Strads and
Cremonas seem to be the particular
hobby of the rich collectors. while
many of the artists prefer the stronger
modern Guarnerius. Paganini, Nieux-
temps and Ysaye have by preference
used the violins of this maker, being
stronger players, while Joachim and
Sarasate prefer the sweeter toned

TRUE FLEsH-FORMING FOOD
If MI-o-na Don't Build Up Good, Healthy
Flesh T. III. Thomas Will Re
turn Your Money.

OF all the remedies in T. II. Thomas
popular drug store there are very
few he is willing to sell with guar
antee to refund the money if they do
not give satisfaction.
Mi-o-na, the famous fiesh-forming
food, has done such wonders among
his customers that Il. IL. Thomas is
now advertising. IF Mi-o-no does not
give a noticeable gain in weight, if it
fails to cure indigestion and all stom-
ach troubles, come back to his store
and get your money
Anyone who has been losing flesh
or who has always been too thin,
should use Mona. Thinness and
emaciation are signs that the food is
not properly assimilated and that you
do not get the nourishment you
should.
Mi-o-na mingles with the food you
eat. aids it's assimilation, tones up
and strengthens the digestive organs,
and puts the whole system in proper
physical condition; it saves the diges-
tive organs from exhaustive work.
BY its use the elements needed to put
flesh on your bones will be selected
from the food, and eacLssex will show
noticeable gain in Weigh
L. II. Thomas has sold hundreds of
boxes of Mi-o-na in the last few weeks
and has yet to hear the first COM
plaint. Such record is simply mar
velous and speaks volumes for the
wonderful merit of the preparation.
Do not suffer a day longer from an
noying thinness or scrawniness; do
not allow Indigestion to make your
life miserable. Commence the use of
Mi-o-na today at Il. III. Thomas risk.
If it increases your weight and cures
you of Indigestion, it will cost you sc
cents; if it does not, L. II. Thomas
will pay for the treatment himself
and return your money to you.
