TO FIGHT IT OUT.
Manager Riddell Intends to Keep New Britain Team
 in the Race.
ONLY HAD FOUR BOWLERS
Telephoned to Johnson, But the Lat ter Would Not Postpone State
 League Game.

Manager Glen Riddell of the New Britain State league bowling team. owing to its inability to appear at Swift & Huber's alleys Tuesday night, was forced by Charlie Johnson to lose three games has taken the blow with an unexpected calmness.
 Riddell was able to get but four bowlers to go to New Haven for the scheduled league game on Tuesday night, so he telephoned to Charlie John son stating his unfortunate condition, He told the New Haven manager that t would be useless to go to the Elm City with four men. the other failing to show up on account of the heavy storm, and requested that the game be postponed until Thursday or some other evening this week. New Haven would not accept his postponement and as Riddell says the team in this city were only too glad of the non-appear- ance of the New Britain team, as they feared they might lose one game of the series.
 Charlie Johnson and Young Rlddell had ID to that game about the same number Of marks, the reward for which the man having the most at the close Of the season gets s15. There is . ru- nor about that Johnson did not wish 10 postpone the game, as he could thus gain a considerable and sufficient lead over RiGde.l in marks. Whether this Is true or not is a question, but il Is true that as Johnson rolled and Rlddell didn't. the former gained considerably on the New Britain youngster.
 The New Haven team. of course, had the light to call the games forfeited and as the team is just bordering on the best side of the honor line. they need every point that can be possibly strained from their encounters with the other state league teams during the remainder of the season. It would have, however, under the circum- stances, been more appropriate for tho local team to have pitied the New Brit ain quartet in their distress and to have given them a chance to reap up another seed and form the necessary quintet. Riddell. being unable to in, crease his number of marks this week he is now almost too far behind John son to attempt to overtake him and seek revenge.
 When asked if there was any trutl in the rumor that the New Britain team would drop out of the league Manager Riddell said there was nont whatever. He declared that the team would finish the season in the league and be ready to enter team agair next winter. He said that 1t would be impossible to get another city in the State to enter a team. because the expenses are so heavy.

TO COUGH PROPERLY.

Few people know how to cough properly. It never occurs to the or dinary individual that there Is right way and a wrong way of doing It. Yet 1t is a matter of no small import ance.
 If every sigh means drop of blood out of the heart. as people say, every cough means some greater or less pro- portion of time knocked off ones life
 Most people cough as loudly and forci- blv as they can. But it is rather costly noise. for the single reason that if tears and inharnes the lungs. The lungs consist of an extraordinarily delicate sponeelike tissue. which sometime gets unframed and choked with rhleen1 When we try to get rid of this suh= stance we cough. but obviously. if we remove it violently. we must necessar- ilv iniure the delicate lung tissue Therefore, train yourself to cough as gently as possible.-Frnr' Health.

sEATTJE's WAR ON RATS.

We have begun arresting people in Seattle who fail to comply with a re- gently passed ordinance relating. to rats" said Dr. S. J. Fowler of the State of Washington. Just before I lief: home two butchers were haled in to court for violating the law. in that they had failed to make their prem ises retproof.
 After the law was passed the po- lice went about informing all market men, grocers and dealers in food pro- ducts that they must fortify their houses against the rodents or else be liable to arrest The purpose was to cut off the rats from their sources of sustenance, and thereby make easier their extermination. The butchers ar rested did not try to make their places of business secure against the entrance of the pests, and they will no doubt have to suffer.
 We have slain tens of thousands of the rats since the campaign of de- struction began and are beginning to breathe more freely, for at one time | was the fear of our medical men | hat they might spread the bubonic plague that had appeared in San francisco and cause a frightful sacri-
 ice of human lives.-Baltimorc | American.
