R,,l pIavina and Christianity.


David L. Fultz, center fielder or the
New York American league baseball
team, is living refutation OF the IDEA
that a man can not be professional
athlete and consistent Christian at
the same time. He recently led Sun
dav afternoon meeting in the Harlem
branch of the New York Y. M. c. A.
Mr. Fultz holds that playing the ma
tional game promotes moral as we'll as
physical development, because II
teaches the player to be fair, to con
troll his temper and above all obedl
ence to discipline. He is graduate
of Brown university, has been adsllt

ed by Advertisers.
The per capita consumption OF pa
per in the United States is the highest
in the world and of this amount the
bulk is for daily newspapers. More
than $4,000 tons of newspapers were
printed in 1904, the total value of the
paper being about $23,O00,OOO. In 1890
less than $4,000 tons, at a cost OF
about $13,0O0,000, supplied the de-
mand. In 1890 we were the greatest
newspaper-reading people on EARTH
and today we read three or four times
as much. The greater part of adver-
Using is done on paper, and the great
er part of the paper consumed IS by
newspapers. The conclusion is oDVl'
ous-the advertiser has found the
newspaper the most profitable held
