Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1893-1920, 1906-08-09

The Decatur Herald tells it plainly
to the home fans in an interview with
member of the directory of the team in
which he says 1--WE have had an ele
CANT sufficiency of shouldering heavy
losses by reason of our attempt to give
the people of Decatur good baseball
and now we intend to pass II up to
somebody else or let it drop entirely
Some may think we are showing cold
feet because of the poor success of the
team this year, but this is far from
right When the fact is taken into con-
sideration that we few men are COM
PEELED to stand about $4,000 loss this
season, l think everyone will see
where we are justified in our decision
to give it up" The present officers
mean to quit at the end of the season.
large share of the blame for failing
to have winning team this year is
placed upon the heads of the players
who are said to be working solely for
their individual records and neglecting
team strategy.

FROM THE DOPE BOX

Two games without an error yester-
day That's going some, even if we
did lose.
The new battery, Howard and Ia
husky, will probably work tomorrow in
the first game here.
Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1893-1920, 1906-08-09

Springfield is here for the last time
this season. Tomorrow there will be
a double header, the first game being
called at 2:30. Decatur comes Sun
day and it will likewise be the last ap-
pearance of the Commodores on the
Rock Island diamond this year.
The Decatur lineup has been chang
ed by switching Swacina to first base
in place of Kuhn, who has not been
doing well with the stick this season.
and whose ginger has entirely disap-
peared. Fleming goes from right to
center and Syfert to right.
Rock Island players interviewed on
their return today. say that Umpire
Wheelock deliberately gave the second
game to Springfield yesterday. No
balls were called until the ninth in
ming, when. after Lakaff had held the
Senators without a run for 16 innings.
Wheelock, it is stated. called balls
on Lakaff until he forced the
winning run in.
Fair minded baseball fans every
where will rejoice that President Pull
liam of the National league sustained
his point in the controversy with New
York over the umpire question. If
Muggsy McGraw had won out it would
have been blow nigh fatal to organ

The Demon Milk,

According to the brewers of Texas.
who have been conducting investiga.
tons to strengthen their pure food
campaign, thousands of persons per-
ish annually from the use of impure
milk. Beer, they say, is infinitely
more wholesome than the ordinary
milk of commerce. It is to be hoped
that they will succeed in the laudable
business of having the public supplied
with pure milk, says the st. Louis
Globe-Democrat, but in the meantime
their figures have so alarmed US that
we look about for substitute. The
lid is on the COW. But there seems
to be nothing to take the place of
milk. Beer in coffee or on peaches
or in a cake does not serve. Be,
sides, it spoils the beer. and we can
not afford to waste it. And churn,
ing beer does not bring butter. Cheese
cannot be made from beer, though it.
Is a desirable concomitant. Milk seems
to have us on the hip. All uncon-
sciously we have permitted the milk,
habit to fasten itself upon us, and.
now we may not shake it off. Though
more deadly than intoxicants, 1t is ap1
parently Indispensable. We have es-
teemed it innocent while 1t was
really viper in our bosoms. We cry
"Stung!" We have even raised our
children on 1t, bringing them under it's
baleful influence from the very cradle.
Yet what is to be done? The milk
trust beholds our helplessness and
laughs. 1t does not need to purify it's
products; we must take it as it ia.
1t murders us, and we have no re.
course. We appreciate the efforts of
the breweries in our behalf, but We
fear they will not avail. The beef
trust, controlling the COW, has us at
Its mercy, and will retaliate for our
assault upon meat.

Dont's for Thin Women.

Don't walk to excess; short walk
will be beneficial, but long walks are
fesh-reducing.
Don't wear black; black has ten
dency to make anyone to look slender
Light clothes are most becoming.
Don't strive for long waisted effects;
the longer you make yourself look the
thinner you will appear.
Don't wear stripes; checks, plaids
and horizontal effects are better TO,
thin women. They should strive for
becoming deceiving effects II they study
art in dressing at all.
Don't stay up late at night; get al
least nine hours good sleep. A woman
needs more sleep than Il man. and
nothing keeps her in good condition
like lots of sleep.
Don't forget that a well-rounded fig.
ure makes you look younger and Ii
considered a mark of beauty. Starchy
foods, massage. moderate exercise. rest
and sleep should produce this.

Moro History.

The Filipinos are being analysed,
classified and described by ethnolo-
gists. Mindanao and Sulu were con-
quered in the middle ages by Moham-
medans, who established a new form
of government and introduced writ
ten code Of laws. Previous to this
there was no written history, but
Menceforth the dattos or chiefs kept
their genealogies, and these, brief
though they be, are the only sources
for Moro history. Prior to the Ameri-
can acquisition of the islands the tar
sila or genealogies we're rigidly kept
out of sight Of all foreigners and non
Mohammedans. but the chronological
survey has been successful in getting
copies Of them; these have now been
translated. The Moros comprise va
rious tribes, which widely differ. The
language is Malayan, but tho charac.
ters employed are Arabic, which
makes the work Of transliteration DIFF
ficult.
