Bat the BIunder VIII he Overlooked

IL by winning Today's
Game.

Mr.. Rain shu-out Omaha and Wichita at
one 'fell swoop'' yesterday. The two teams
will try II again today, however. and when
they have finished Topeka will come for
four games with the Rourkes, beginning
Sunday.
lust because Wichita had beaten Omaha
twice on the home grounds it must not
be assumed that Omaha got scared and
importuned Weather Forecaster Welsh TO
save it from a third defeat by sending the
rain yesterday. Nothing like that. AS a
matter OF fact, Omaha was itching to play
that game yesterday; it had everything
cut and dried to win it. 1t wasn't going 10
give the Kansans a look-in. And that
isn't all-Weather Forecaster Welsh. him
self a redhot fan. had conspired with War
Sanders to put a crimp in Wichita, but
one of his assistants made a mistake and
pulled the wrong rope.
1t was like this: War Sanders was 10
pitch for Omaha. Colonel Welsh was going
to view the game from the top of the
federal building. Sanders was TO pitch
'em so Wichita couldn't see 'em, let alone
hit 'em up to the last half of the fifth

several runs. Just at that time Colonel
Welsh was 10 open tne air urall next 10

flooding those Sunflowers and giving the
game to Omaha. but this assistant spoiled
1t all by his blunder.
So you see. It was not a case of cold
feet on Omaha's part.
And that isn't all. Omaha's going out
there today and win that game. What?
All rigt, you'u see.
For the present. at least, King will be
kept on second base to fill the place va
Gated by Graham's loss. Belden will cover
center and the team will get down to bust
ness, crippled as it is, and do it's best to
hit the winning trail.

CLAPP's BUNCH MEETS GOPHERs
Nebraska Athletes Expect 90 Win at
Minneapolis Today.

LINCOLN, May ~l4.-(Special THE Ne
braska track team. accompanied by Coach
DR.. Clamp, left Lincoln this afternoon for
Minneapolis. where tomorrow afternoon
they will meet the University of Mime
sofa representatives in the annual dutl
meet between the two schools on North
rup field. Fifteen Cornhusker athletes
made the trip, They were: Captain Nc
Donald, Anderson, S. Collins, George,
Burke, Reed, Hummell. Hamel. Russell,
Wildman, Perry, Gable, Ham, ond Campbell
and Asbury.
All the men. excepting Perry, were in
fine condition. Perry has been sick for
the past three weeks and has not yet re-
covered sufficient strength to make him
self a factor In the games. He is NebrHs-
ka's best broad jumper and II he were in
fit shape would be able to win first in this
event against the Gophers
or the whole, though, the Cornhuskers
are stronger than they were last Saturday
when they met Morningside at Sioux CITY.
Russell this week became eligible. and will
be one of the best men for Nebraska in
the hurdles and the high jump. Last spring
he was the leading Cornhusker vaulter.
and should make a high mark at Mime
apolis.
DR.. Clapp expects his team 10 win by
about twenty points. He said, before leav-
ing Lincoln, that his men should take a
big majority of the points I'm the field
events, besides winning both hurdles and
probably the sprtnts. He had hopes that
his pupils would be able to get several
points in the longer runs, but he did not
figure on this in predicting the result of
the games.

VEGETABLES AS MEDICINE

Watercress is an excellent blood prlri
fer.
Tomatoes are good for torpid liver,
but should be avoided by equity people.
Lettuce has a soothing effect on the
nerves, and is excellent for sufferers
from insomnia. 1t also acts as seda
tive upon the human frame, owing to the
opium it contains.
Celery is nerve tonic; so are onions.
Spinach has great aperient qualities
and is far better than medicine for suf
ferers from constipation.
Beets are fattening, and good for peo-
pie who want to put on flesh; so are
potatoes. Asparagus stimulates the kid
neys.
Bananas are good for sufferers from
chest complaints.
Cranberries are astringent, and correct
the liver when it is suffering from mac
tion caused by overeating.
Cabbage is good for pulmonary COM
plants.
Dates are exceedingly nourishing, and
also prevent constipation.
The Florida agriculturist., 1909-10-01
Care of Clothing.

On taking off gown do not hang or
lay it away until it has been properly
aired, cleansed and repaired. Place the
bodice across the back of chair in a
current of air; pull the shields out with
the sleeves, and leave the garment thus
until there is no longer hint of the
dampness or ordor of perspiration. Also
air the skirt thoroughly, and the next
morning give it good beating, shaking
and brushing to drive out every particle
of dust. This cleansing will be more
beneficial if done as soon as the skirt
is taken off, but it is generally more
convenient to postpone it until morning,
especially when the gown is removed
just before retiring. After the gown
has been aired and busted, any spot that
may have been incurred should be at
tended to, and loose buttons or hooks
and eyes should be reinforced and miss
ing ones replaced.
The Florida agriculturist., 1909-10-01
The Most Nutritive Meats.

Fresh meats are highly nutritious;
but if they are cooked too long some of
the nutritive properties will be lost.
Fresh beef, mutton and breast of
chicken are among the most easily di-
gested of the solid foods. Rare meats
are more easily digested than well done
meats. Veal, pork and all fried foods
are very difficult to digest. Steak should
be broiled; never fried.
A roast should be done in a quick
oven, so that all albumen will rapidly
coagulate on the surface and prevent the
escape of the nutritive juices. Or if the
meat is boiled, it should, for the same
reason, be plunged into boiling water.
The Florida agriculturist., 1909-10-01
Danger of Over-Eating.

The process of digestion continues
from four to five hours; by the end of
that time the stomach is empty. This
gives us very useful hint as to the
length of time that must elapse between
meals. If a fresh meal is introduced
into the stomach before it has had time
to empty itself, the process of digestion
is started afresh, and the stomach is
robbed of the necessary rest between
two periods of activity. The. perfectly
healthy women should never take any
thing between meals.
AS rule, three meals day has been
found to be the best arrangement, and
there should be an interval of about five
hours between the meals. If possible,
dinner, which is the principal meal of
the day, should be taken after the days
work is over, so that comparative repose
may be enjoyed after it. The meals
must be served at the same hour every
day.
Gentle exercise may aid digestion.
The whole problem is one of blood-sup
ply Severe exercise, by diverting a
great deal of the blood and nervous
energy to the muscles, would have an
