Barney Oldfieid has suggested that the
way to avoid accidents I'm track automobile

sides and to compel every club to oil the
course before allowing the races to start.
This was tried years ago. The trouble Hes
in the tremendous speed OF cars, which

The talk Of consolidation has dropped out
Of sight entirely. It Is very unlikely. too.
that there will be any change in circuits.
Doubtless Ban johnson would like to have
a club in Pittsburs. but Barney will have
that territory entirely to himself as he
has In the past. There is more money In
Philadelphia with two clubs than there ts
with one. and with but one club In city
all the rivalry and fun in games between
the teams Is done away with. With the
after season series In Philadelphia this fall
the Phirlies will lose their games with the
Athletics. which will cut them out OF q
very nice bit Of money, but the interest
will be revived with renewed vigor In. the
spring. Owner Dom of the Boston Nation

The game has been very much married by
wretched umpfrfng this season. 1t is mani
testify impossible that neither Mr.. Johnson
nor Mr. Pullfam would have retained the
services of some Of their incompetents had
they given the work Of these men the care
full scrutiny that the welfare of the game
and the requirements Of their positions de-
manded. Players have been complaining
ali season of the work of the umpfres. yet
rot thing has been done to help matters.
So long as umpires are inefficient. SO long
will the players have trouble with them,
and IT Is manifestly unfair to discipline
players when it Is not they, but the UNI
pires, who are at fault.
OF the new faces Mr.. Bauswine has easily
done the best work. He has splendid size

THE PACE THAT KILLS OR LEADS
TO INSANITY.

Not long ago the press OF the coun
startling statistics OF insanity in our
large cities. According to a Chicago
investigator in New York one person
in every $40 is insane; in Boston one
In 80, and in the western metropolis
one in 400.
As 10 the causes OF insanity there
is little difference Of opinion. Noise
is VIGOROUSLY one OF them, as Rider
Haggard pointed out on the occasion
of his recent visit to the United
States. The rush and excitement and
restlessness OF the strenuous chase
after the dollar are another factor,
and the principal one no doubt. In
fact, the noise is by-product of the
storm and stress of our existence.
Just now New York physicians and
health officials are explaining an
alarming increase in the recorded
deaths from heart disease. We gave
the figures recently in letter from
New York. and they could not fail to
challenge attention.
We are living too fast and work
ing too hard" says DIR. Darlington,
and the worst Of it is that the pace
entails anxieties, worries, struggles
that are not necessarily associated
with mere hard work. 1t leaves no
time and no mental tendency for re
Election and the realization of the
truth that there are higher. nobler.
more satisfying things in life than
wealth and social success. The true.
the elevated pleasures are sacrificed
to those which yield no real gratifica-
ton. no recreation and invigoration.
Is there any large city in the coun-
try that can say. hand on heart that
II is without sin in this respect. and
that it knows not the pace that kills?
The disease. alas. is general and IL
YOU will consult Chicago physicians
they will say precisely what the Goth.
am specialists say. Organic heaN
trouble is very common, and stomach
affections due to rapid eating and Ave.
minute luncheons OF our busy men"
with telephones attached to the ia
blesl are even more so.
Bishop Potter once advocated the
formation of7spcieties and groups in
our cities for the purpose not merely
of preaching but of exemplifying the
sane, simple and dignitied life. He
wanted as members men VINO put
good health, a clear conscience. ap-
probation of whatever Is lovely and
OF good repute and permanent worth
in life, above superfuous wealth and
vain ambition Will the distinguish
ed prelate renew his suggestion? II
was never more in order than now
