THE KING OF BEVERAGES.
Water To-Day as Ever, the Chief
Staple Of Human Life.

Water is the king of beverages; II
is the beverage to which all turn
when they would cure themselves of
the injurious habit of consuming other
beverages. But water that is not pure
may bs more harmful than the most
harmful of other drinks, says writer
in What to Eat. Every health depart
ment should emphasize the dangers
of impure water and urge upon the
public the necessity of giving this
matter first consideration. There are
at my command numerous health re
ports bearing on this subject, and 1t
Is not difficult to prove that the death
rate would be enormously lowered by
greater care with regard TO the con
sumption of pure water.
Water is the basis of all other bev
erages. All beverages of mans man
ufacture are water that has been adul
terated by admixtures and chemical
treatment.
Pure water is the one beverage
which has stood the test of science
and come down to us unscathed
through continuous use for countless
ages. 1t is natures chiefest blessing
to man. Other beverages undergo
many changes with time. Each age
brings them forth in new styles, new
methods of manufacture, new proc.
esses of chemical treatment, aging
and keeping. Foods change with each
successive generation. We eat differ
ent kinds of foods from time to time
each generation prepares them diff
ferently; there are different methods
OF compounding them, different meth.
ods o, cooking them. Pure water is
the same yesterday, to-day, and for,
ever. From long before the time
of the Pool of Sloan, mentioned In
Holy Writ, to the present time, pure
water has undergone no change and
people have never lost a taste for II.
Other tastes come and go; the taste
for water never varies. SO long as
man and beast inhabit the earth, the
practice of drinking water will
never cease.

GOSSIP.

They usually beat us playing golf,
as the fate of Byers revealed at the
amateur championship, but the Brit
ishers are taking up one by one the
methods of America in conducting
tournaments. Only the so who quail
fed in a preceding 36-hole round could
start in the recent open championship
at Holyoke, the innovation being based
ON American ideas, and now the fve
clubs that rule the game and the anna
teur championship abroad have taken
steps to weed out the starters In that
competition. The delegates were In
structed> at ST. Andrews to get the
opinion of their clubs on two sugges-
tlons. One is to limit the amateur
championship to scratch players; the
other to have a qualifying medal play
round. The delegates will come to the
next annual meeting, which Will be
held at Sandwich during the amateur
championship, prepared to vote on the
two propositions. The action they
take will influence the amateur cham.
pionship of 1909. for they do not rush
things over there There were 200
entries at st. Andrews, and there will
be as many at Sandwich next May, so
that the necessity of wedding out Is
apparent. TO permit only the scratch
players of clubs to enter will hardly
be feasible, for the bane of champion.
ships is the puffed.up scratch players
from small and easy links, who would
get six or eight strokes at q good
course. The qualifying round dis
poses of these misguided candidates
and leaves 1t quota of golfers com
petent to wage a good fight for the
title. To adopt a qualifying round
will take the wind from the sails of
certain leaders in American golf legis-
lation who have fought the prelim-
mary score play as bad and pernicious.
In 1903 they prevailed, and our ANA.
teur championship of that year was
at match play alone, and a dreary
tournament II was for the first two
days The many changes in our
method-for hardly year has passed
without some different plan being
tried-have been due to the efforts of
these match play enthusiasts to kill
off the qualifying play round. S. Y.
Heebner, of Philadelphia, has done
more than any other committeeman
to have the qualifying round retained.
He has supported 1t through thick and
thin for ten years as the most prac
tical way of wedding out cumber
some number of entrants. The argu'
ment that they arrange matters bet
ter abroad" will be lost to the Ameri-
can malcontents should the Britishers
take up qualifying round.

NEW RUBBER SUIT
FOR BEN CAFFYN

Manager East of Akron is hav-
ing an inflated rubber suit made
for ball players which will enable
them 10 stand up to the plate and
get hit with a pitched ball. As
Ben Caffyn is always trying to get
hit and has been put ont of the
game several times this season by
jumping into a fast one, Manager
East is trying to discover some way
to keep the pitched balls from hurt
ing Caffyn and has arranged with
the Akron Rubber company to
make a rubber suit for Ben.

Cap East was one of the most i'm

Yesterdays game He certainly fig
ured a lot in the loss Of the game the
day before.
1t is a noticeable fact that the
Lime Burners always fail to hit the

We have now won five and lost
four Of the series at home.
New Castle will be here Sunday and
Monday, after which the Lime Burn

1903 Buffalo carried him as a substi-
tute and farmed him out part of the
season. His rapid development made
him regular member of the Buffalo
team for 1904 from which club he was
purchased by the Pittsburg club In
the fall of 1904. In Manager Stalllngs'
opinion young Clymer was the best
outflelder developed in the season of
1904. That fall he was sold to the
Pittsburg club for which club he
played good ball throughout the 1905
season. In 1906 he broke leg In the

most OF the season. This season he
has been in his former fine condition
