Ills of Little Ones.

Hives. that hundreds of little ones
suffer from, especially during the sum-
mer, should be treated both internally
and externally, for they come usually
from disordered stomach. The best
thing is to give a dose of castor oil, the
amount of the oil given to depend upon
the age of the child
For relieving the intolerable itching
of the red spots called hives" that
generally cover the body, baths of BIZ
carbonate of soda are best, though
they may be soothed with the constant
application of cold cream or oil.
One of the skin troubles easiest to
cure is "ringworm." 1t comes in two
forms, one on the scalp, the other on
the skin of small babies. The best
treatment for it is iodine. If the skin
where the ring exists is painted two or
three times the scales will disappear
entirely, while if the same plan is fol-
lowed in caring for a ring on the scalp,
1t, too. will come off, leaving the skin
free and clean.
Inf1amed eyelids cause much suffering
among little children and one of the
best ways of treating this trouble is
by bathing the tender flesh with So
luton of boric acid, strength about 4
per cent.

golden in the morning and leaden at
night. AS matter of fact, it may be
gold at both times, but then it should
be eaten on an empty stomach and not
as a dessert, when the appetite is sat
lsfied and digestion Is already suff1-
Gent taxed. Fruit taken in the morn
ing before the fast of the night has
been broken is very refreshing, and it
serves as a stimulus to the digestive
organs. A ripe apple or an orange may
be taken at this time with good effect.
Fruit, to be really valuable as an arti-
Gle of diet, should be ripe, sound and in
every way of good quality, and, If
possible, it should be eaten raw. In
stead of eating a plate of ham and eggs
or bacon for breakfast, most people
would do far better if they took some
grapes, pears or apples-fresh fruit,
when it is to be had-and after that
they can fall back on stewed prunes,
figs, etc. If only fruit of some sort
formed an important item in their
breakfast, women would generally feel
brighter and stronger and would have
far better compilations than is the rule

PANIC UNEARTHS
A GREAT PLAYER
HOW FIELDER JONES, CAPTAIN
OF WHITE sox, BROKE INTO
PROFESSIONAL GAME.
A CIVIL ENGINEER AT TIME
Working in Far-oH British Columbia
When Financial Depression of 1891
Threw Him Out Of a Job--Led
Eastern League In Batting Four
Years Later.

One big panic cost the world an

line and other equipment of his pro.

wastes Of British Columbia.
Expenses were small and salary lib

a fortune, as the field seemed unlim.
tied. Then came the turbulent hnan-
cial depression of that year.
Capitalists withdrew their support
from various enterprises in that coun-
try, and one day the young Pennsyl-
yanian found himself minus job and
thousands of miles away from home.
Something had to be done. The
young man had an athletic build SO
he did what most husky chaps do
when everything else fails-play base
ball.
This young chap was Fielder Jones,
the manager and center fielder OF the
White SoX, and had not the panic
taken place he might now be merely
the greatest engineer in the world, In.
stead of the field marshal of the
worlds champions.
After the Canadian bubble burst,
Jones returned to his home at Shingle
House, Potter county, Pennsylvania.
In 1892 and 1898 he-was playing base
ball sporadically with small teams.
He had learned the game while a stu.
dent at Alfred university, one of the
smaller institutions OF learning In New
York state.

big colleges copied after little Alfred"

How did Alfred manage It? Why,

Jones went in little stronger for
base ball in 1894, when he played on

real experience began with the Spring

From that period on Jones stand

Russla,s National Anthem.

Russia's present national anthem is
probably the only one that was ever
adopted as the result of an open com
petition. The musical committee ap
pointed to do the frst rough work OF
selection, rejected all the anthems
sent in except two, the respective mer
its Of which were left for the emperor
himself to determine. One was by
Glinka, the renowned composer OF
Life for the Czar;" the other was by
LyOf. Glinka's anthem was thorough
ly Russian in character, and in the
form of march; Lvoff's was more
solemn, but much less original lie
I knew, however that highly military
style of instrumentalization would ap
peal to the imperial ear, and his
drums and trumpets decided Nicholas
in favor of it.

OLD-TIME BASEBALL
GREAT GAME PLAYED AT AN
NAPoLIs IN '6e.
When the Jeffersons Met the Monitors
and Had to Work to Win-Doings
of Men Who Are Since
Famous.

I'm the early days of baseball II was
a wonderful thing for our local teams
to make visits to other towns and
cities, and our embryo tourists regard
ed the trip down to Annapolis, where
they met the future rulers of the sea,
as a top notcher," said old Musty Rec
ord as he scanned the copy at the
sporting editors desk, according to
the Washington Star,
1T was a pretty long trip in those
times You had to get up with the
sun II you wanted to reach Annapolis
the same day, as the then fast going
Baltimore e Ohio only had one train
out that connected with that air line
that worked its way from the juno
tions and stopped at every signal, like
our old-time horse cars.
THE first team to visit Annapolis
from Washington, and, indeed, per-
haps the first from any place, was
that lively bunch of amateurs called
the Jeffersons, who were just coming
to the front in 1868 as the leading ex.
ponents of their class of ball tossers
This visit took place on Thanksgiving
day so you can see here also that on
that national holiday baseball was the
real thing, though at this progressive
period II is football In honor of the
visit great preparations were made by
our gallant naval officers to make the
affair notable.
The naval academy chaps called
themselves the Monitors, in honor,
perhaps, of the then new craft the
navy had made historic, and their uni
form consisted Of white flannel shirts
and knickerbockers trimmed with
blue, and blue stockings, quite a sur
plise for the visitors, as the Jeffer-
sons at that time, as most of the clubs
elsewhere, except the famous Red
Stockings, were still wearing long
trousers as part of their uniform.
"The game was exceptionally brill
liant for those days. Some of the
fielding catches of the midshipmen
would reflect credit on the best pro-
fessionals now before the public and
would warrant extra space in to.day's
writeups as phenomenal.
Midshipman Calhoun, afterward Ad-
miral Calhoun, played his position like
a Lajoie, as he went after and cap.
tured everything that came his way
with the ease and elegance of sea
soned player, while the backstop work
of Dillingham; was as good as Dug Al
lison showed with the famous Red
Legs of Cincinnati Wainwright. at

She will Have a Team in the

YEAR NOT AT ALL BAD
Plans Laid for a Winning
Team.
Fans are Jubilant Over the Prospects
and Lock for Prosperity and VIC
tory.

The question, win Marion be rep
resented in the O.-P league next
season is already beginning to dis
iturb the mental workings Of the local
fans. The directors of the Marion
club say they are not worried BIT
about the prospects for next year,
for they believe that there is scarcely
a possibility Of this city being
dropped off the baseball map
I'VE are already starting to plan
for next year and feel confident in as
suring the fans that we will have a
team that will be a real peanut chas-
err stated one of the directors today.
As far as the team itself is con-
cerned, the present season has not
been a brilliant success and has
brought little If any joy to the hearts
of the loyal ones who have dolelully
watched the Lime Burners on their
spectacular slide. Financially, de-
spite the poor showing of the team
the season has not been at all bad
and it is thought that by playing a
few exhibitions after the schedule is

Had the team played winning
ball, there would be a nice chunk of
money in the treasury right now"
is what practically all of the fans
say.
