BUSY BALL PLAYERS.
Washburn Team Is Working Hard
for Coming Season.

Washburn is now working out its
baseball players for the first game on
April 49, The fine weather Of the past
few days has brought out the enthus-
lasts in force and about twenty prospec-
tive first team men have engaged in
good practice every afternoon. There
are contests for various place on the
team and it seems that Washburn will
have as good a nine on the diamond as
has represented the blue for a number
of seasons
Only four of last years players have
appeared at practice but these fill re-
sponsible positions and the competition
indicates that capable men will get the
other places. The old players in school
this term are Moss, Coidren, Mehl and
Pierre Anderson, of whom the latter has
been chosen to captain the team.
Worsely also is back but the athletic
committee Of the various colleges de-
cided during the last football season
that he was not eligible 10 engage in
cision was made on the charge that he
had played professional ball with the
Seneca team last summer.
There seems to be a shOrta &c at only
one spot in the diamond, namely. in the
box. Gill and Coldren are the only
twirlers who have so far appeared far
slab duty However, both have good
curves and speed and unless the games
arc too frequent there ought to be no
difficulty, Melll who has so often fig
ured in athletic contests. will be the
receiving end o. the battery, and Moss
has sure thing at first. There is u
fight for second base honors between
Miller. Pressy and Donahue. and it is
a knotty problem to decide on their re-
spectiNe merits. Mohler seems to have
a -cinch" on third. Gill will be at
shOrtstop while not doing duty in the
box. and there is no dearth Of outfeId-
ers who can be depended on to take
care of the close-range drives in his
absence
The list Of out-feld candidates is
large. Of these Pierre Anderson is
about the only one sure of a place
Others in the race are De Lay. Snyder,
Kearney and Willis, and Coldren at
spare times. Dadisman, the veteran
who is to lead next years football
team. came on the neld Wednesday for
the first time and is making a good
showing. He also wants a field posi-
ton.
The first game of the season will
probably be played at Baldwin against
Baker after which Washburn will take
a swing around the circuit among the
southern and southwestern colleges of
the state.

A EAR TEST.
See il coffee is really the cause of aiIs.

Some coffee drinkers think they can
get on without being sick by limiting
the allowance to just one cup a day
and some people can stand this all right
but others cannot
There are many people where the
poison of coffee is so marked and direct
that one cup per day, if followed up
steadily. will surely and certainly put
the patient in bed, or produce chronic.
fixed disease OF one or more organs OF
the body.
When a person suspects coffee to be
the cause of his or her stomach. liver
kidney. bowel. heart or eye disturbance.
it is well to test the case by leaving OFF
coffee for ten days and using Postum
Food Coffee in its place. If there is an
Improvement in health the proof is abb

guide anyone who values comfort. ease.
content and ability to do things, to

coffee, for it means that life is worth

and such persons will continue to use
articles of food and drink that they
know do not agree with them
In this land of liberty let every one
choose his own course. but one great
staring, pertinent, absolute fact stands
out that coffee does cause misery and
distress to thousands of people who do
not suspect the cause, and the quitting
of coffee and taking on Postum Food
Coffee will return the average person to

Maintain It to the End.

Washington, March 20.-Civil Service
Commissioner Foulke today sent a let
ter to Senator Spooner Of Wisconsin in

ten to individual senators by Mr. Foullxe
regarding certain Inaccuracies in state
ments made on the floor during con-
sideration of a resolution calling for in
formation from the commission regard
from the surveyor generals Office of
Idaho. Mr.. Foulke says:
Thus the paradox is presented that
although the charge was untrue | had
no right to point the particulars in
which it was untrue. even in letters to
Individual senators. If this position is
sound it would be the duty of executive
officers to submit in absolute silence to
the gravest charges of misconduct or
even of crime, uttered in the most pub
lie place in the nation. No self respect
ing man could hold an administrative
Office under such conditions. 1 submit
that it IS not to smy letter that the
epithet of supreme effrontery' can most

tor or representative who Will receive it,
