ATHLETES SHOULD
BE CAREFUL
Timely Advice as to Training
al This Time OF
Year

Baseball players should not work
too hard in getting into shape unn
outdoor practice is permissible. In
door pitching is bad, as the arm is apt
to get strained or overworked, and,
as a rule. the old players pass up all
am indoor work Here's a little advice
and youngsters would do we'll to bear
it in mind.
"First-Take enough exercise Of a
general nature to cause you to eat and
sleep wen, and, in general. retain good
sound health, without however, being
IN training.
"Second-Do not dict or refrain from
the use OF any healthful food which
agrees with you and which you en-
joy
'Third-Loaf enough to get a little
fat on your muscles. which win pro-
vide something to work off in the

MADNESS OR DEATH.
The Inevitable Fate That Awaits thl
Absinth Tippler.

ne lneNitaplc FaNc NAT Awaits tnb
Absinth Tippler.
What is absinth? II is prepared by
pounding the leaves and Towering tops
Of various species of wOrmwood, star
anise root. sweetfag root, leaves Of
dittany and other aromatic plants, and
sleeping them In alcohol After eight
or ten days the mixture IS distilled,
aud oil Of aniseed or some similar es.
sentlal oil is added. This Is the method
Of producing the genuine absinth, but
It varies usually In the direction Of
chcapening production and increasing
profits. Poisonous wood alcohol is
used for macerating the vegetable in
gradients, and inferior and often in
furious herbs are employed. These do
not always produce the much desired
greenish opalescence. and turmerlc, in
digo. sulphate of copper and other col
oring matters are employed The con.
sequences Of regularly drinking even
carefully prepared absinth are in the
end ruinOus to mind and body. The
main difference between the various
qualities Of the nQuor Is the rapldity
with which deleterious effects are pro.
duced. A man can go on drinking the
better qualities a little longer before
he becomes a mental and physical
wreck; that is all And, whether one
drinks to excess or only takes a reg.
ular daily dose the end is the same.
The sequence Of events and their du.
ration only are different. In the first
case the large doses Of the liquor nee
essary to produce any effect speedily
render the victim unable TO eat food
He IS tortured by an unquenchabie
thirst Hallucinations speedily follow,
and the grave or the madhouse is the
Inevitable end The abslnth tippler
goes TO ruin down an easier slope His
earliest symptoms are loss OF weight
and strength. followed by the develop.
ment OF muscular twitchings and a
tottering gait. somewhat similar TO
that OF locomotor ataxia Then hallu.
