Medical treatment almost wholly
confined to the daytime is thought by
DR.. Lauder, u French physician, to be
a serious mistake. Disease Is most
active at night-asthma. epilepsy and
other attacks coming then almost en-,
drely-and observations have shown
that medicine administered In the
night hours, or both night and day,
acts better and with greater effect
than an equal dose all given In the
daytime. It is explained that in the
nocturnal fasting state the body ab
serbs remedies with greater energy
while they are eliminated less quickly
In many instances disease has resist
ed medication by day, but has yielded
to night treatment.

POOR CONNIE MACK!

PHILADELPHIA, Aug 3.-Connie
Mack, manager of the Athletics, has had
another problem added to his already

carefully avoided letting anybody know
what has become of him.

become a strong factor in the American

was sternly sensitive on many points
and when he requested that more eX-
uberant players refrain from making
comments about him they were perfectly
willing to take that view Of it That is
the reason you have heard so little com
ment about Anderson and his alleged
closeness. For my part. 1 liked the big
fellow and am sorry he has left the
team.
Although he said he had no kick COM
ing. q is more than probable that II was
an indirect kick that caused him TO ef-

He had been long in the major leagues
and was tired Of baseball He played it
because it paid well for six months
