A National Success.

While for England cricket made a
success Of a titanic war, In America a
titanic var made baseball a national
success. It was the soldiers of the
civil war who learned and played the
game in their camps, who, returning to
their homes, formed teams and thus
scattered baseball from ocean to ocean.
Baseball today, in the sixty-third
year Of its career as a regularly de-
fined pastime, has attained not only
national and international but world
wide sway. 1t is the worlds greatest
game. played in this country alone by
upward of 10000 600 men and boys,
whose contests are viewed by over
100000 people yearly. In England

hands he becomes mere and more completely absorbed by it, working from twelve to sixteen hours a day. until. with the completion of the story his fingers are covered with callous marks from holding the pencil and he is completely exhausted. His work re- ceives very little revision. If a chapter does not suit him when he has written it he tears it up and begins over again In writing The Young Set he found after writing sixty thousand words that he had just got to the beginning of his story as he then saw it. These sixty thousand words promptly went into the waste basket. It was the same way with The Fighting Chance and with his new book. The Firing Line Whole chapters were written only to be torn up and thrown away When one of his books is finished he has to lay pencil and paper aside for month or two and take to the woods and fields to recuperate from the in- tense strain.
 "One of the questions oftenest asked me by persons to whom the writing Of books is more or less a mystery is whether authors do not run out of ideas. The fact is. so far as my o1- seravtiOn goes. that really successful writers have far more ideas for stories than they can ever hope to reduce to written form. When a man has ob- tained sufficient grasp of life to be a successful novelist his task becomes one of selection among the number less themes Ghat force themselves upon his mind. I think you will find that authors themselves agree with me That reminds me of a remark that I heard Mir. Chambers make tO an ac- Quaintance who asked him what field he intended to take up when he had exhausted fashionable New York life.

Beauty and
 Bad Breath
Cannot Go Together No Matter How a Woman May Try to Make Them.

It does not matter how beautiful woman may be, if she is afflicted with bad breath she will be summed and pitied by men and even women will studiously avoid her.
 If any woman doubts this state mentslet her make a point of asking a friend in whom she may confide, a man friend or relative. If he be honest he will tell her that foul breath from the mouth of a woman will drive men from her more rapidly than any other personal affliction
 Foul breath arouses in man disgust and where this quality is brought into play no amount of self-denial or reasoning can overcome the nat ural repugnaDce which comes to man when he is in company with such a woman.
 What is true of bad breath in wo- man is not true in so great a degree in men. Women are looked upon as the incarnation of sweetness. breed ing, virtue and refinement Foul breath will sicken a man so that he can not feel for such a woman companionship necessary to make him desire to be in her company.
 There is absolutely no occasion for bad breath in either men or women. Charcoal, the strongest absorbent known, when taken into the stomach will prevent this repugnant tendency or afflictiOn.
 Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges are sold in tremendous quantities all over America and Canada They cure and have cured all forms of bad breath. A single box will convince you of this fact. One should eat some of these loZenges after each meal and upon retiring. You might eat fifty of them without harm. They are not medicine. but pure willow char coal mixed with sweet honey. to make them palatable and Compressed into lozenge to preserFe their peculiar and lasting strengthg
 The next time you wish to go into company and don't want your foul breath to humiliate you, eat several of Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges and your breath will be pure and sweet.
 Every druggist carries them. price 25 cents, or send us your name and address and we will send you a trial package by mail free. Address F. A. Stuart Co.. 200 Stuart Bldg, Mar shall, Mich.

NEW PRfSIDfNT
 Or THE N. f. A.
He Is Strong Advocate of Industrial
 Education.

Industrial education is likely to re- ceive strong impetus by the recent election. at Cleveland, of Lorenzo Dow Harvey, superintendent of public schools of Menomonie, Wis, as presi- dent of the national education associa- tion. It is due to Mir. Harvey's efforts that the Stout training school of Memo monie holds such a high rank among industrial schools. He believes that the first aim of the public school sys- tenn is to provide such a variety of schools as shall furnish opportunity for the initial preparation necessary to earn living. The importance of this idea will be seen when we realize that more than 90 per cent of the pupils who complete the elementary course of instruction in our public school sys- tenn earn living through some form of manual labor
 Industrial education has for it's pur- pose said Pr. Harvey in a recent ad- dress before the national society for the promotion of industrial education. The acquiring of a body of useable knowledge relating to industrial con- ditions. processes, organization, and administration: the gaining of skill: and of mental. aesthetic, and ethical training through the acquisition and use of the knowledge indicated In general way it may be said that the following things are essential for in Atrg faI .fF F,,
 Habits of close observation; a high ideal as to what constitutes honesty in workmanship; habits of accuracy in work; comprehension of what is good in design as related to use in con nectiOn with the work in hand knowI- edge of materials best adapted to diff ferent forms and types of construction; knowledge of construction processes in the treatment of materials skill in the care of tools and in their use in in- dustrial processes; Knowledge of ma chine processes and skill in using ma chinery; skill in freehand and mechan- ical drawing.
 With a modification of the elemen- tary and secondary courses. we should hold pupils in school longer than we do under existing condition and I be- lieve all will agree with me that with the proper organization of instructionaI work as to matter and method, the longer the pupil can be kept in the public schools, the better for him."
 Mir. Harvey also called attention to the necessity for a modification of ex-. isting educational ideals to meet the needs of the girls in elementary and secondary schools, both for an increase of efficiency and earning capacity in the industrial field and for the proper discharge of their duties and responsi- bilities in the home. There is no ques- tion among employers but that a bat tering of conditions in the home life of their employees would increase their productive capacity, lessen crime among them, decrease their craving for stimulants, arouse their ambition for themselves and their families, en- courage thrift, and in other ways prove a blessing. This improvement in home life and in the earning capacity of girls who must become wage earners; can be brought about in a large degree by furnishing facilities for proper train ing in the elementary public schools and on special schools.
