it would be quite possible to attain a high -protefd diet on vegetable food alone.
 There has also been much con fusion in the nse of the terms strength" and endurance. En- durance is a factor which has been very little defined and is entirely distinct from that of strength NO tests of strength were made in con nection with the investigation, t9@ tests being confined entirely to en- durance. The importance of the auestion of endurance is obvious. The tests were of representative muscles, one of the tests being deep knee-bendng" or stopping in succession.
 Professor Fisher is not himself vegetarian and has no theories b prove. but he is making a study or different dietary systems from the standpoint of an economist.
 This report is the second of a series of studies Professor Fisher has been making on the subject of endurance. The first report was of an experiment with nine Yale 'tu- dents on the effect of thorough mfs- tication on endurance. Tn this ex- pertinent the students were allowed anything to eat they wished, and the only rule followed was that Of thorough mastication and strict obedience to appetite and enjoy ment of food. During this experi- ment it was found that as the ef- feet of thorough mastication Ire men gradually reduced the amount of meat in their dietry, and grew to enjoy the low-proteid foods more than the high -proteid, with the re- covery of their normal appetite in stincts.

to take the substitute without question. No first baseman will be allowed to play any other position, and so with other members of the team. Walking delegates will have passes and they shall select the um- pire, who must have union card. If a game runs over eight innings, overtime will be put in and time and half for Sundays for holi- days. If at any time walking delegate becomes dissatisfied with the way things are going he can call all the men off the job. It can readily be seen that these vari- ous changes will greatly improve the game. Truly it will be great day for baseball when it is union ized.

WAY OF THE CIRCULATION
 LIAR.

The Atlanta Journal and The At lanta Georgian are having a not war over the matter of circulation. If the Atlanta newspapers would get their circulation down to paid basis none of them would have one-fourth what they are now claiming. Any Atlanta newspaper will be sent to anybody as long as he will take it out of the postoffice without the payment of a cent in the readers entire lifetime Spartanburg Journal.
 Everybody ought to know, as the business public already does, that there is circulation, and circulation and circulation. For practically all; purposes quality outweighs any ex- cept hugely preponderant numbers, even where the numbers are gen uine, as those that are shouted sel- dom or never are. The paid-clrcula- tion figures Gall intelligent people these days are supposed to know that no other kind counts) given out by the Atlanta newspapers are undoubtedly padded to a large ex- tent, though our Spartanburg con- temporary has, of course, overstated the proportion. Any one who fol- lowed the recent controversy be- tween The Journal and The Georgian must have seen that each clearly convinced the others profess sional circulation claimer of being what David said in his haste all men are-Charlotte Observer.
 If a National Association of Cir culation Romancers is ever organ ized. however, the circulation artist of the Pine Bluff Commercial ought by all means to be made it's presi- dent.

CAMPHOR IN THE SOUTH.

The United States, like several oth- CT large nations, is taking a decided interest in camphor culture, or grow ing, just at present.
 Practically the entire supply of camphor now comes from Japan. As campbor forms an important ingredi- ent in the manufacture of modern explosives used in high power guns are not disposed to rest satisfied with a condition which gives Japan the control of the worlds supply of this essential of war. Indeed, under ex- isting conditions, it is by no means certain that camphor could be obtain ed in the desired quantities at all times, therefore to provide against a contingency which might prove most damaging Uncle Sam has set about starting a camphor farm of his own. The scene of this farm is in Texas, and from all reports it is thriving and will soon be in a condition ready to yield as much of the valuable mater ial as the government would care to use.
 Incidentally the Texas experiment has taught the people of that state an other use for their lands, and cam phor growing it is believed will be-
 come another Southern industry Commercial Appeal.

 ARKANSAS
J. E. Diamond, Associate Editor the Lumber Review, Believes Arkan- sas One of the Greatest States in the Union But it
 Lacks Publicity.

J. E. Diamond, associate editor of the Lumber Review of Kansas City, is in the city visiting D. A. Kendall, of the Sawyer & Austin Lumber company. This is his first visist to this section and he is highly elated over the excellent advantages offered in this state. In an interview today he said:
 T believe is the least known of any state in the Union. I visit the cities of your state and I see circu- lars tackled up calling attention to different points North and East as summer resorts and desirable places to live-but I never see this state mentioned in the North or East ex- cept in ridicule. Why? Because you don't understand the value of publicity-the great value of an im- migration bureau that does things that calls the attention of Ger man and Norwegian farmers to the fact that here in Arkansas are great opportunities with thousands of acres of cheap land that will produce anything and climate as healthful as any in the United States. That's all you need. Co., operative spirit among you that will bring 5O,O00 German farmers and they will make what you call your poor hill lands and your worthless swamp lands blossom like a great rose bush. Do you doubt it? Look at western Kansas or or Oklahoma, Minnesota and the Dakotas. Don't underrate publicity. Let the man who is looking for home know what you have, and now is the time.'

FlOD AND ENDURANCE TESTS.

The attempt has been made to use the report by Professor irving Fisher, published in the Yale Medl- cal Journal. in regard to the rela- tive endurance of flesh-eaters and flesh h-abstainers, as vindieation or vegetarianism. A more careful study of the report. the full text of which is now available. shows that the results of Professor Fish CTS experiments do not indicate that a strictly vegetarian diet is necessary in order that person may possess the maximum endnr- ance, but that loW-proteid diet is necessary. There was no evi dence that strict vegetarians pos sessed greater endurance than those who used eggs and milk nor the latter than those who ate meat in very small quantities, but the facts did show that those who were ac- customed to a low-proteid diet pos sessed greater endurance than those who were accustomed to eating meat three times a day.
 In order to reach a low-proteid diet. it is almost absolutely neces- sary to eat meat very sparingly, as the foods high in proteid are chiefly meat and eggs. On the other hand

MISS MAY
 AT THE MAJESTIC

Ethel May, who is appearing at the Majestic summer theater this week, has devoted many years to the study of psychic phenomena, and for the last 3 years has been appearing in public with her read ings. She is very enthusiastic on all branches of psychic research, and has added to her natural gift many years of study and develop ment.
 When appearing before an audi ence," says Miss May, 'I am not always successful in demonstrating my ability. This is especially true on opening nights. First night audi ences are generally very slow to write questions and when they do they are such foolish simple ques- tions that they are not worth while taxing ones brain with. The more intelligent the question, the more satisfaction I can give. Then again it is hard to establish thought vibrations between two people when one is antagonistic or even skeptical-in that case it is almost impossible for we to receive im- pressions from the questioner. Those who posses intense natures or who have high degree of mental activity, can reach more quickly and read the best
 Miss May claims nothing what ever. There are so many skep- tically inclined, she says, 'sthat it would be useles for me to do so. I love my work and do my best to give bright, amusing and mys- terious entertainment, without fraud or impropriety, and I leave my audiences to draw their own conclusions as to the method em- ployed. It would be useless to attempt to convince one and all! that I am sincere in my work.

UNIONIZED BASEBALL.

From Haverhill, Mass, chlues the first faint but unmistakable warning of an impending revolu- tion in that foremost American in- stitution, baseball Thus far the national game has grown and de- veloped amazingly, unrestrained by arbitrary enactments. We have luxuriated in baseball as something almost sacred to American tfad1- tions, uncontaminated by politics and international complications. But there is to be change, accord ing to the Kansas City Journal. Baseball is to become nnionized and placed under the conditions and nominations of that "fairness' which recognizes no competition Of ability or superiority of ohe man over another. The trouble arose in quite the usual way. One Harry Williams, first baseman of the Hav- erhill team, alternates groping for the festive grounders at shortsto? with blowing the tuba in band during the winter. But one night without considering the heinous- ness of his offense he played in a skating rink band which was un- organized. The Musicians union heard about it and at once branded him with the mark of Cain. He was forced out of the Haverhill baseball club because of his treason.
 Now that the matter has come up there is prospect that baseball will be changed and unionized. Ac- cordingly the New York Evening Post has proposed few rules in recognition of the change. Here they are:
 CD All batting averages shall be standardized at .250. Any play CT making more than one safe hit out of four chances will forfeit his card for one week. Any player hitting over 300 will be expelled. All pitchers in good standing are required, under the same penalty, to allow poor batters to make the same average
 (2N Three errors shall be al- lowed to every player per game to be used in whatever inning he may choose
 (3l All hits for more than one base to be charged as overtime.
 Whenever there are three men on bases each infielder shall be entitled to a helper.
 (5l A baserunner when sliding may require the baseman to show union card before touching him oU:.
 (6) The eight-inning game to be established.
 Besides, there will be other changes. For instance, no player will be permitted to practice more than so many hours a day If he wants to Hay off" at any time al he has to do will be to telephone headauarters for substitute ane the manager of the team will have

HOW 10 Have q Clean kitchen.

If tiles arc out of the question for n kitchen, it remains to get the next best thing. oil paint is the only available wall covering for kitchen and should be finished with a coat of enamel, says tho Boston Traveller. The kitchen walls will require washing quite as much and almost as frequent. ..S as the floor White tiles make the finest possible covering, not only be cause they show dirt, but because they can be easily cleaned. This require ment must be met with any other sub. stitute, and this, to considerable ex' tent, is given in a very good way by oil paint finished with enamel. Soma kitchen designers have recommended several successive coats of oil miXe,l with varnlsh, method that is said t. give excellent results and doubtless does so. It gives the walls a somewhat dark tone, while with paint lighter shade may be used. Whatever color is selected 1t should not be chosen be cause 1t conceals dirt. No room ac- cumulates dust and dirt as rapidly as the kitchen, partly because in the sum mer the windows are generally open all day, admitting clouds of outside dust; partly because of the unavoidable dust from the range and partly because more or less dirt is produced in cook ing operations. The housekeeper who magines her kitchen clean because she sees no dirt on her walls Is most had- lS aeluded person. If the walls are so dark as to show no dirt, one may be assured the dirt is there. and 1t is likely to remain there until 1t becomes so of. fensive that q complete renovation of the room is necessary.

How to Care For sponses.

Sponges that are not properly cared for soon become disagreeable and slimy. Soap should never be put on n sponge.
 After 1t has been used a sponge should be thoroughly rinsed In clear. cold water, squeezed very dry and hung, if possible, in the srn and air Never allow a sponge to dry in bag It should not be put there till thorough " dry. Every little while sponge should have n thorough cleaning. The best way is to soak 1t in strong soda and water or borax and water for some hours, pressing and squeezing 1t occasionally while doing so. After be- Ing cleaned in this way a sponge may be laid for awhile in mixture made of one glass of muriatlc acid and three pints Of water. This. however. Is only for extreme cases. As rule the soda treatment will prove effective.

TRUE GRANGE SPIhI1.

The spirit of the grange is not will o'-the-wisp, says Miss Jennie Buell.. secretary of the Michigan state grange, writing to the Fruit Belt It is tangible and can be grasped and comprehended. The trouble is we too often look for the. spirit of the grange in the wrong places. We run across some carping, dyspeptic Patron or visit some weak kneed, disheartened little grange, anl we say, Behold the grange-what frazzled out, dispirited thing 1t iSr' We look for the bow of promise in the storm and fail to find it, for it is above and beyond. So the true spirit of the grange is not to be searched for in the thick of the fight nor i'll single in- stances. If present at all it shines out after the smoke of battle has risen. It is what predominates i'll majority of granges and Is not the absence'of spirit in any solitary one.
 "The Lord was not i'll the earthquake or fire, but in the still small voice" The spirit of the grange is calm second thought, uniting all in essentials. giving all fullest liberty in noucssentials ano striving to nurture in all that charity that persuades how wondrously alike and human we all are.
 Looked at, the grange may disclose nothing to you. Hold it as telescope to your eye, and, To, long years of con- sistent endeavor unfold, longest in time and widest in extent of any kindred movement, during which time multi- tude of men and women, united by the strong and faithful tie of agriculture" have labored for the good of their Order, their country and mankind. The hand of purpose has been laid in their random lives and their latent capabil tiles touched to activity and accom- plishment. It has been a great thing. A tremendous work is being wrought.
