Bowers Return Moline bowlerS in
the national tournament in Louisville
have arrived home happy over their
showing the five-man event. The tour
nament closed Monday evening, and
two more teams eclipsed the Moliners'
score of 2,6g7, forcing the local bunch
to 21st place, which gives them $45 in
prize money. The Moline men-StOuf-
fer, Donahoo. Kaeser, Wright, and
Graflund-rolled in great form in the
last game of the three and till the
seventh frame had an easy chance for
first place. Then came the unwelcome
splits which cut their score and gave
them but GA pins when more than
1 900 was in prospect. The Moline
Plow company contributed $40 toward
sending the team to Louisville, and
about $35 was added TO the sum by
business men about town. 1t cost the
squad SIS in entrance money in the
three events, and the players are in

less the S45 which they won. They
are well satisfied, however.

you are nursing chronic crouch the
rest of the time, and never. never go to
bed with your stomach filed.
These are scattering fragments of a
thirty-two inch shell of advice fired be-
fore the Chicago Medical society by DR..
Edwin B. Tuteur who lectured on
to Eat"
Soup" declared the doctor, sis SUI
perfiuous in a substantial dinner menu
So is tea and so is coffee and, in fact,
any moisture except that which is nat
urally contained in the foods. Soup in
the form Of beef broth, without eggs,
cereals or vegetables, would starve a
dog to death In ten days. Beef tea
made from the solid extract sold for
the use of invalids is mere stimulant,
a non-nutritious, queer tasting temper
ance drink. Tea and coffee are not
foods, but stimulants They retard di-

cooked with salt pork, are baneful.

THICK WITH DOMINOES.
A Feat That VIII Puzzle Those Not
In the Secret.

An interesting feat can be performed
with the dominoes, which the operator
announces as follows: Il will lay the
dominoes in a line, one beside another,
lying on their faces and making one
black line. Now will go into the next
room, with my eyes as closely covered
as you may desire. In my absence you
may take from the line any number of
dominoeS you please provided you take
them from that end which is now at
my right hand and place them at the
opposite end, so that, except for the
change in the places Of the piece. the
line is just the same as before. On my
return, without unbandaging my eyes,
I will tell you the number transported
from one end to the other | will do
more. From the midst of these domi-
noes, of which you have changed the
position, l will draw one which, by the
addition of its spots. Will tell you eX-
actly the number which you took from
right to left. After they have made the
change count with your fingers-if your
eyes are bandaged-the dominoes from
left to right as far as the thirteenth.
The spots on this thirteenth will inva-
riably represent the number of domi-
noes whose position has been altered.
But in forming the line originally you
must have arranged the first thirteen
dominoes, beginning at the left, so that
the spots on the first form the number
II, of the second IL, Of the third 10,
and so on up to double blank for the
last and thirteenth. You place the 9th
er dominocs afterward IN the order in
which they happen to present them
selves"
