The New, World Power.

Judging from the apparent outcome
OF the long anticipated sea battle in
the waters of the Pacific. Japan has
cinched her triumph over Russia. and
established her prestige as mistress of
the seas in the far east. at least so far
as the belligeTent powers are concern
ed Whether by heroic patriotism. or
skill in warfare or the decree of des-
tiny. Japan has already fairly over
come and whipped her enemy. and in
doing so has established herself in
place among the great nations of
earth.
The rise of these island people from a
primitive. mi-barbaric state to world
power all within third of a century
is one of the maryels of the world ;
history. There is one great lesson at
least to be gained from such an
achievement. II is that people quick of
instinct alert to make the best of the
talents their Creator gives them. brave
OF heart and with mind progressive.
will not only develop the resources to
defend themselves where they are
right but will establish a supremacy
which the greatest of peoples must
recognize.
Let US hope that Japan will draw
the line at seeking To be a conquering
nation. that she may bear her lSurels
gracefully, and that her victories in
war may be to the glory of civilization.

more sane celebration of the Fourth
Of July.
These two holidays. radically differ
ent in origin and spirit, are now cele-
brated in much the same fashion.
which in the case of Memorial day is
unbecoming and little short of sacri-
legious. Only a small portion of the
population now observe Memorial day
in the spirit in which it was originally
set apart. AS a rule, it is given up to
sports, frivolity or dissipation of one
kind or another, and is observed in a
reverent and becoming manner only by
those TO whom the civil war. with its
suffering and sacrifice, is a living, ever
present memory.
1t was perhaps inevitable that this
should be so. but the fact is not the
less deplorable.

Mrs. Alma Potts

Frequent backache and distressing
pains, accompanied by offensive dis
charges and generally by irregular
and scanty menStruation indicate dis
placement or nerve degeneration of
the womb and surrounding organs.
The question that troubles women
is how can a woman who has some fe-
male trouble bear healthy children?
Mrs. Anna Potts. of $40 Park Avenue,

The Lessons to Be Gained From the
National Game.

/
| II has been said that there are ser
mons in stones. There are object les
sons to be gained from the national
game of baseball. Success in this
most popular of all sports depends
upon concentrated as well as individ-
ual action. Reliance must be placed
upon vital conditions as well as vital
plays and players in the attainment
of results. The most skilled player is
not essentially an element of success.
An all-star team can not always be de-
pended upon TO win. Victory as a rule
comes only through the exercise of
judgment and the work of the whole
team. II is the combination of play
ing strength that gets there. II is
team work. That is the unit. That is
what the team representing Rock ISL
and in the ThTeeEye league is getting
down to at the present time under the
capable generalship of its manager. a
baseball team can no more expect to
succeed in following the dictations OF
the fans than a municipality can be
run through a town meeting Leave
the direction TO the manager, and hold
him responsible. Apply the principles
of life to the ball team that you do to
other pursuits. 1t is a mistake
to think that a crowd of excited peo-
pie in the grand stand or bleachers
know more about how a game should
be played than the men on the field.
Palpable mistakes are made on the dia-
mOndA just as they are made in every
walk and station of life. but the man
who condemns them too hastily is
very apt TO be the least capable of fair
judgment If a ball team of average
strength in its component parts works
together and works hard. and is direct
ed by a man who knows his business.
il is affording a creditable exhibition
despite the fact that reverses or even
a series of reverses may overtake it.
In the long run il is bound 10 be near
the top.
All lines of business and all kinds
of employment and industrial and com
mercial work require first that men
keep themselves in condition by so
briefly and by physical as well as
mental health. Then the man who
succeeds lets himself out to the
limit of his ability, striving conscien
tiously to earn more than he is paid,
knowing that such conscientious APP
plication will some day reward him
with more pay than he earns. and re-
ward him with the reward of honest
endeavor and honest ambition.
The heads of departments and the
captains of industry are the umpires
who are watching your work. True.
the umpires sometimes make rank de-
cisions' even in business, but these
are exceptions. and in the end it will
be found that the hard hitters' and
hard workers" win out. The consci-
entious. the honest and the sincerely
ambitious get the plums and I'LL the
bases" for home runs to success as
the victorious procession of industry
marches on. You've got to work to
win, whether in baseball or in business.
