Are Diseases increasingly
From the Practitioner.

There can be no question that the preva-
lence of certain diseases has increased dur
ting the last half century. Conspicuous
among these are diabetes and insomnia,
both of which are largely due to the men,
tai stress of harder struggle for exist
ence. The Increased consumption of alcohol
and the free use OF narcotics are also re-
sponsible for many morbid conditions un-
known to aur harder forbears.
But, In comparing the present prevalence
OF diseases with that of the past, there are
several factors for which due allowance Is
often not made. One Of these Is that our
forefathers died, az q rule, at a consider
ably younger age than their descendants;
II they did not perish by the sword. thsy
were moved DOWN from time to time by
the plague or other devastating epidemics.
In this way they escaped many of the dis
eases not only OF old age, but OF advanced
middle life.

NEW YORK, December 5.-Like Kansas

What promised to be a lively winter has
developed into a peaceful off-season. The

win cause but a ripple in base ball circles, for
there isn't much politics in the old league
now. The managers OF New York's two big

POTOMAC PARK
FOR FOOT BALL

Potomac Park has been suggested as the
place for the next Army-Nayy game by
Col. Charles 8. BromweH, superintendent
Of public buildings and grounds who says:
z'"While the White House ellipse Is being
prominently mentioned as the best place
for the big game. 1t seems to me that the
new athletic field at the Potomac Park
would be far more desirable Since last
June we have graded this place and put 1T
Into such shape that there would be plenty
of room for the gridiron and seats for fully
100000 people. Should the White Lot be
chosen. the stands could only be tempo
rary, but at Potomac Park permanent
stands could be erected that could be used
for the crowds that will attend base ball
games and other sports at this field. A
stadium such as Harvard has would give
sports a great stimulus In Washington"
The playing of the game on a govern
n1ent reservation would do away with tho
sale Of seats. as admission would be free.
the idea being either to get Congress to APP
propriate enough money to build the stands
or raise the necessary sum by public sub
scription.

Grant is to investigate and rule upon It.

dence in DR.. Grant
Duggan Is youngster Of eighteen
years. He was from early boyhood a
natural base ball player. When sixteen
years old he went to Indianapolis on
trlai with the professional ball club:
there He played one exhibition game
and did not do well enough to suit the
management, and returned home. 1t is
said he claims that he got only his actual
expenses. but proof must be secured as
to this. II he got more than his ex-
penses he will doubtless be declared Il
professional; otherwise his offense will
be only technical II he signed a con-
tract with the Indianapolis club his
chance to be reinstated in amateur ranks
will be slim. Duggan is at Georgetown
College, and is anxious to play on the
base ball team there. He has been out
or amateur ranks two years.

STILL DISCUSSING
ARMY-NAvY GAME

PHILADELPHIA, December 1.-The fact
that the Arpay-Navy game at Princeton on
Saturday was handled so poorly has once
more directed the attention OF the two acad-
emies and those who are interested In the
success of the game to Franklin Field, OF
the University of Pennsylvania. Whether
the game will be played here next year or
not. remains to be seen. Certainly 1t will
not be played at Princeton.
Besides FRANKLIN Field Washington is the
only other place that has been suggested.
But it Is doubtful II the government thinks
enough of the game to go to the expense
that would be necessary to get grounds IN
shape at the national capital The erection
of stands and the construction of we'll
drained grfdiron cost thousands of dollars
and the government certainly would not go
to this expense, when there are college fields
on which the game could be played.
II the game il played at Franklin Field 1t
will be only after request by the Army
and Navy. Although no one in authority
at the University of Pennsylvania Will say
so for publication, 1t Is q certainty that
and invite the academies to come here. But
IL they request the use of Franklin Field,
it is not unlikely that Pennsylvania will ex-
tend that courtesy once more.
The reason announced for the transfer
ence OF the game from Pennsylvania to
Princeton was that the cadet bodies could
secure about q thousand more seats each
than on Franklin Field. But since the
transference Of the game caused reduc-
ton in the attendance figures, the two acad-
emies were not benefited by the change.
II the authorities thought that Franklin
Field did not contain enough seats, it would
be an easy matter to construct tempo
rary stand in front of the gymnasium and
also to build out the south stand several
tiers over South street. This would increase
the seating capacity of FRANKLIN Field by
several thousand.

has not yet resulted officially and until
this is settled he is entitled to considera-

not. he Is the best guard in the west, not
even excepting Graham OF Michigan, who
Is likewise certain of his position. Graham
and Schultz have something on every OPP
ponent in this section. Graham's tremen-
dous weight, he being the heaviest man of
any OF the big western aggregation makes
him an fmmoyable obstacle to the enemy.
Schultz also of Michigan, is almost equal

veteran Remp, who has been named on

Schultz had better assistance from his
guards this season. but he certainly showed
to advantage. He is entitled to the edge.

kicker in the country and the most re-
