Whooping Cough

This Is a more dankerous disease
than is generally presumed. 1t Will
be a surprise to many to learn that
more deaths result from 1t than from
scarlet fever. Pneumonia often re-
suits from It. Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy has been used in many cpl
denies of whooping cough, and always
with the best results. Delbert Nc
Keig, of Harlan, Iowa, says OF It: my
boy took whooping cough when nine
months old. He had It in the winter.
I got a bottle of Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy which proved good. l can
not recommend 1t too highly" For

is able to demand as much as four or
five thousand dollars for five or six
months work sounds like falry
tale. The average person imagines
that if he could realize half that sum
by working every day in the year, he
would be supremely content. But
the student of baseball does not con-
slider the matter in this light. He
knows that ball players do not grow
on every bush, but are almost as
scarce as the proverbial hens teeth.
The people must have baseball. 1t

It is the same way with a baseball
magnate. He goes out after star,
and he will not be satisfied until he
has landed him. But then he tries to
get the public to consider him
wronged if that star tries to better his
lot The manager knows what a
strong effect the opinion Of the pub
lie has on a ball player, and he tries
to work on this fact to keep that
player in his ranks. And as a gener-
al rule, the public fall for the mana
gers bluff just as he imagined they
would and the player has to stand for
the abuse and the knocks. From
what 1 know Of them, ball players
are honest and upright, and would
not stoop to dishonest means. But
they know, as the public does not, just
what their value is, and they are not
to be blamed for trying to get what
is coming to them.

(By Patrick Dougherty, Left Fielder
Chicago Americans.)
We hear and read a lot these days
about the trials and troubles Oh the
managers and magnates of the Dig
Ieague teams. We see that they are
worn out with the worry OF Trying
TO get their players TO sign up. De-
mands for higher salaries and KICKS
from disgruntled players are pictured
as eating away their very lives and
reducing them TO mere skeletons
This all sounds very well, and the
manager or magnate has come 10 DC
a much pitied individual. But the
people who read the papers do not
give the players side Of the question
the proper, if any, consideration
They set down the man who plays
the game as a narrow-minded, sell
fish sort of a person, who, not con-
tented with a prlncely salary, wants
TO take away all the profits of the
man who enables him to live.
Players Worth the Price.
The club-owners can well stand the
expense of remunerating players as
thew should be rewarded. 1t is a
common thing TO pick up paper any
time after the season is, we VIII say
half over, and to read such notices as

thinking that perhaps the players

As said before, he is a business man

direct cause of the sacrifice was years
of drouth and misfortune for the
tribe. But its immediate reason. as
set forth in the report, was the death
of the husbands of two women OF the
tribe-the same who were later SEN
fenced to mprisonment-and the
fact that the widows could find no
successors for them. 1t was to salts
fly the spirits of their departed ones
that the sacrafice was deemed neces-
sary.
A deaf and half-blind cripple lad
a slave who had been a wedding gift
was picked out for the sacrifice, and
