LIME BURNERS
PLAYING ASHLAND
Three Days of Rest Has
Done Marion Good.
Thursday Mansfield Comes to Our
City for One Game
Local Baseball4s.

Rain and W ct grounds prevented
the games with Mansfield sched-
uled for Saturday and Sunday
which makes nnc games i'm all that
the Lime Burners have been unable
to play during the first month of
the season. Today is an open date
and an exhibition game is being
played at Ashland against the In
dependent team representing that
place. The Lime Burners left at
noon over the Erie. Either Wilhelm
or I4ncas will pitch the game.
Tomorrow the Marion team will
60 TO Mansfield for two games
against the Collar champions. and
on Thursday Mansfield will accom-
pany the Lime Burners home for
a single game. This win he the
only appearance of the team here
for over week.
On Friday the locals go 10 New
ark for Urec games. On next Mon
day they return here for three
games with Lancaster and then
dropping back 30 Lancaster, will
play three games at that place.
Akron WILL commence thrce-game
series here u week from Sunday.
The rest Of three days has prob
ably been n good thing for the To-
Gals, as they were badly crippled
MP during the series at Akron. Lus-
key probably will be able to play
tomorrow. The boys are anxious to
have long stretch of good weather
as they are confident they will be
able TO get back into second posi-
tion within short time.
II is the concensus of opinion
that Marion has only one team TO
beat il ont for second place in the
race, namely. Akron. The Youngs-
town bunch Mas good siaut but it
is not believed that the team will
hold the first place during the en-
tire season. About the time that
four or five Of the teams go to
playing in form and strike Youngs-
town at the right time. the Champs
wdl drop peg on two.

There Is a theory among a good

stands close to the plate, holds his
bat about third Of the way up from
the end, and takes short swing at
the ball is pretty sure to be a good
hitter, while batter who stands far
back from the plate, holds his club by
the extreme end and takes a long
swing will never make a success at

)sition works out pretty Well Willie
Keller probably the cleverest batter
In the country, has a little short bat
that he grips about the middle, and
chops sayagely. Dozens of other
good hitters stand close to the plate

Since his retirement Mr.. Edison
has devoted good deal of attention to
the investigation OF dictetc reform and
has arrived at the conclusion that we
cat and sleep altogether too much.
quite recently he committed himself as
follows:
Let me impress one all important
thing upon your mind--that rs, that
you observe most rigidly the rule OF
hygiene regarding careful and mod e
crate eating. Fully so per cent of the
illness OF mankind comes from eating
improper food or too much food. Peo-
pie are inclined to ovcrndulge them
selves in this respect when they are
spending their holidays. ] have al
ways been a light eater, and fully APP
preciate the fact that the sole purpose
of food Is to preserve the chemical
energies and keep the human machine
going
"Whcrc there Is no drain on the sys-
tenn the minimum amount Of food will
do, Even the Italian laborers are able
TO preserve their muscular tissue on
small amount Of bread and cheese and
they certainly work hard.
Then why is it necessary for the
business man to eat great quantities Of
food when there Is no drain on his sys-
tenn? Elaborate dinners are curse.
Many business men eat enough food TO
supply regiment. They are clogglng
up their boilers by doing so and will
live to regret it.
Another important rule to observe II
this: Get out Of bed as soon as you
open your eyes in the morning. Don't
lie in bed and wait to see II you can
not go to sleep again. That is a fool
ish thing to do. Jump out of bed and
do something, anything, BE active and
alert, get your blood in circulation leap
right into the activities Of life the first
thing and you will soon see that your
brain works better.
There is absolutely no reason why
we should sleep. except that our pre-
historic ancestors got into the habit Of
sleeping. and we have never broken
Of IT. There is no need Of
sleep now We can turn the darkness
Of night into the light Of day by our
electric lights, so why should people
sleep? ] believe that IL we had per-
Tetual sunlight we would. in few
generations, get over this bad habit of
sleeping.
Beware Of Much Sleep.

would not sleep so long we would de

lcctuaI race. Il H. wen known that the

Thomas a. Edison and His Recent investigations 81

~ n his SlXtieth birthday, which
was Feb. II last, Thomas \,
" Edison announced that he
had abandoned the career of a
money making inventor and had adopt
I'd that of scientific Investigator on
original lines, The only inference to be
lrawn from such a statement was that
he Wizard had arrived al that stage

night afford to pursue scientific re-
iearch merely for the love OF ii and on
account Of the service he would be able
% render mankind. That Is the way
IN which II was interpreted by the pub
lie. and II seems to have been perfectly
correct.
Now he admits that he has been hard
# work at a problem the solving Of
which will confer inestimablo benefit
Oh future generations. When he was
president of the British Association For
the Advancement Of Science, Sir VIII
liam Crookcs prophesied that in an
other quarter of century the earth
woGld be so drained OF nitrogen that
famine would be certain to follow in
many Of the older parts Of the globe
The eminent scientist declared that
nitrogen is being driven from the soil
with such rapidity that no means
known to man will suffice to supply in
sufficient quantities to restore fertility
to the earth.
