It is now over the news that Henry p
Bowie has decided that the reign of
dress and dinner suits is over and has
taken to the more comfortable oriental
costume-the kimono and zori
For the last few years Henry p
Bowie has deserted his native country
and has spent the greater portion of

and cherry blossoms A few short
months in each year he has occupied

Inc Bowie home at Burlingame is
surrounded by a veritable fairyland
OF luxurious Japanese plants and flow

lake that turns the scene into a sort of
enchanted garden. The luxurious effect
OF bamboo trellis covered with climb
ing roses is a fitting finish to the pretty
scene, and the teahouses that peep here

THE BODY's KITCHEN,

Dirty mouths are not only offensive and unsightly, but, according to the London Lancet, the worlds foremost | medical journal, a constant and seri- ous menace to the health of their owners. Indeed. that journal goes so far as to say. lon the condition of the | mouth much of the health of the na- tion depends Being the gateway to lung and stomach, through which all the food and drink and a portion of the air we consume must pass, it's sanitary condition is as important as that of the household kitchen.
 A very little care. in the form of two or three inexpensive daily scrubbings with a. good and reliable dentrifice. is all that is ordinarily necessary to keep this important entrance clean and sweet. Such a routine should be com menced early in the chi1d's life. and insisted upon until it has become a habit. The average reader may be in- clined to consider this a quite un- necessary warning, and decent care of the stomach certainly is much com moner than it used to be.
 Among a considerable portion of the community, however. and particularly in the case of children. there is still need of much oral missionary work. A little observation of one's neighbor's s mouths in street cars and other cos mopolitan public conveyances will amply justify this conclusion.
 How uninviting would be luncheon served on the soi1ed breakfast china, yet how much less cleanly is the prac-
 tice of not brushing the teeth after eating. Dr. Lyon's Perfect Tooth Pow
 der, made by an American Dentist
 since 1866 has met this need for whole
 some cleanliness and health preserva- tion and is used by people of refine
 ment in every part of the world where lthe use of the Tooth Brush is known.

8SDOTtS Of A Day -::- Told By The Farmers Experts -::::
DUTCH SHERWOOD
 FOR BROOKLYN
Bridgeport Boy Booked for Fast Career
 on Diamond.

Dutch" Sherwood for the big leagues. Last evening Owner Cam eron of the New Haven team received word from President Ebbets of the Brooklyn club that Sherwood and Andy Herbst had been drafted by that club. That the "Kid'' will make good in faster company there is little doubt. For the past two years he has put up an article of ball that is much faster than Connecticut league ball is sup posed to be. The "Kid'' is a Bridge port boy, born and bred, making his home with his parents in Colorado avenue. He began his baseball career on the lots of this city, early showing professional ranks. From the younger teams he graduated while still a kid into the ranks of the faster element. Visiting teams to this city used to poke great fun at the little man that used to cavort about shortstop, but they invariably realized that he was in the limeligfnt of every contest. Then came the city league, finding Sherwood with the St. Peters and finally the West ET6s.
 He was recommended to the New Haven owners and immediately jump ed into popularity. He was used as out in every position, even at pitch and behind the bat. Third base and short were his stellar roles, he playing them almost to perfection. The sea- son of 1909 found him at third contin- ual1y and breaking records. It was his work on this station that brought ris attention into the realms of faster baseball, and landed him with the Trolley Dodgers. '

PimpIy Rash Spread Until Head, Face and Body were Covered with Eczema - Hands Bandaged to Keep from Scratching Was a Fearful Sight and Defed Cure.
CUTICURA MADE SKIN
 CLEAR AND HEALTHY

"My baby's eczema came on when he was three months old, like 8 rash on his face and then spread over his head. Then there began to form lot of small pimples over his head from which Q watery substance came out and formed regular mass of crust all over his head, face and body. had to tie woolen cloths on his hands to keep him from scratching himself. He was fearful sight to look at. went to Q drug store and tried some of their remedies for eczema but they did not do him any good. l then called in one of our leading physioians and he tried several kinds of medicine and gave me prescriptions, but they only made him worse.
 At this stage a lady friend of mine came in and advised me to try the Cuti- cura Remedies. That afternoon sent for a cake of Cuticura Soap, box of Cuti- cura Ointment and one vial of Cuticura Pills, and in lees than a week could see a vast improvement in him. washed him all over every morning with the Cuticura Soap and gave him an appi- cation of the Cuticura Ointment after his bath. I kept on using the Cuticura Remedies until he was completely cured. They left his skin clear and healthy and I always have kept the Cuticura Reme- dies in the house ever since. highly recommend Cuticura to all persons sui fering from eczema.

Bates, Bowdoin, Williams, and Maine will be met early in the year to put the team in trim for the heavier games to come. Only one game, that with West Point, will be played away from Cambridge, for the Yale game takes place this season on Harvard grounds.
 The games with the Army and Brown will provide the first real test of the teams strength.
 Cornell will make it's first appear ance in the Stadium for seven years on Nov. 6.

AMERICAN AVIATOR WINS s60
 AND STARTS ON JOY RIDE

Brescia, Italy. Sept. 13.-Glenn H. Curtiss. with the Brescia grand prix of $6,oO0 to his credit, left here to-day in company with Cortlandt F. Bishop, President of the American Aero Club, for Milan. They are making the trip in an automobile. While in Milan, Cur tiss expects to conclude negotiations for his appearance in Frankfort and Berlin. though in the meantime. he will return to America.
 The Brescia aviation meeting was far from the anticipated success. Cur tiss won the grand prix with his flight of Saturday, when he covered the 50 kilometers 31.06 miles, in 49 minutes and A seconds. He won the quick starting event yesterday. getting his machine aloft in 8 1-5 seconds. He could have easily won every other event on the program but magnani- mously let some of the other competi- tors have a show.
 There was much disappointment that Bleriot did not contest in the Grand Prix. Second place. with $4,000 as the prize, went to Rougier. a F'renchman whose time was one hour,- 10 minutes, IS seconds.

YOST TEAM
 VICTOR OVER
 SOUTH ENDS

Before a crowd estimated at 4,0O0 the South Ends, who are to start their se- ries with the West Ends on Saturday for the city championship, went down to defeat at Yost field yesterday, 8-S. It was the magnificent pitching of Frank White of the late Industrial League leaders who held the South End sluggers at bay when hits meant scores that brought the game the ed is Tay tns fsd ssa, mag We i1v Regnery whose work was of a sensa- tional nature. Bill robbed both Bill Sawyer and, Dasher Kelly of sure hits by his clever work. The theft of Kelly's hit was the most sensational play of the day and marked the last out. It was line drive over Reg nery's head that Bill stuck out his un- gloved hand. This served only to stop the progress of the ball. Bill turning about raced backwards and caught the sphere as it was falling to the ground. It was the grand finish of a sensa- tional game.r
 Because Of the immense crowds that lined the outfield, ground rules had to be resorted to, a hit into the throng permitting of two bases. The short right field fence also gave two bases. A ball over the center field fence en- titled the runner to three bags. Bill Sawyer who had three hits, in the first inning made the longest drive ever re- corded on the field. His drive went over the center field fence and landed on the roof of the Graphophone Com pany's building at the corner of How ard avenue and Cherry street. The errors of the South Ends were costly the Yosts taking advantage of every misplay.
 Butch, Bowling led at bat with three safeties, including two double seekers. Sawyer also had three hits, out of five times up. Billy Dupee came off with the best batting average of the day with two singles in three times up Matty Mullin, pitcher for the No. 1 Crane team did well, but his support was quite discouraging. Mike Lucia, South End catcher got himself in wrong with the crowd by continu- ally trying to show his manager and umpire Pete Verrelle up before the throng.
 The team without a double is a pick Of the Industrial League, which is all the more creditable to the Yost's re- cord. The usual condemnations were poured upon Manager O'Brien of the South Ends for using Mullins in the box. In the opinion of those who know the game O'Brien used good judgement in bringing out Mullins, as the record of that youngster as a pitcher with the Crane No. team against the Yosts in the Industrial league was only bet terd by Pitcher Jakel of the A. & B. team. Tn the two contests that Null lins pitched against this club six hits were allowed in one and eight hits in the other contest. T he score:

 \ RACE ABROAD
(special from United Press.)

Paris. Sept. 13.-An aeroplane contest with financial rewards equalling thsl richest English turf prizes, will result from the match race between Louisl Bleriot and Hubert Latham when they meet in London the latter part of Ger tober. It was reported today thatl the two men have placed a big side bet on the outcome. Besides thisi there are two prizes of $15,0 900 and s. 900, the winner to take $12,O00 of thel former prize and the whole of the lat ter. These, with the side bets, will make the race worth close to $25. .000.
 There is intense rivalry between the two Frenchmen, owing to the fact that Bleriot was first to cross the English, channel in an aeropIane, after Latham had tried and failed.
