Louisville Times: Olson is right smart
as second baseman. He fields in eX-
cellent form, and does not neglect to
make his little one and two hits each
game. First thing the fans know,
somebody up east'll be making over
lures. That's the language of the dip
lomatic corps. but the fans know a
tongue more vigorous. Cy Landreth
keeps coming with his hit every time
It's needed, nearly. Man can do no more.
Landreth has the hearts of the fans
for his easy and apparently unconcern-
ed fashion of making hits when he
wants to. Looks like Cy will go a
BIT higher another season.

some serious sickness or ailment.
This disturbed and disor-
dered condition of health is the
result of impure accumulations
in the system due to an inactive
winter life. The bodily waste and
refuse matter is not properly ex-
PEELED in cold weather, because
those members whose duty it is
to perform this work of drainage
do not receive sufficient stimula-
ton from outdoor bodily exercise;
they therefore become dull and
sluggish in their action; nor is
the skin as active in eliminating
impurities in cold weather.
These Winter accumulations
pollute the blood and destroy its
rich, red corpuScles to such an
extent that when Spring comes,
and everything takes on new life,
the circulation is so weakened
that it is unable to supply the
increased demands of the system,
and we suffer in consequence.

Growth Of School Gardens.

Not only in well known centers, but
in remoter localities, the school garden
movement is taking root, and this sug-
gests a satisfactory outcome, the result
Of which will be not only the higher
culture Of our future citizens, for there
is nothing like an understanding and
appreciation of nature to impart this
culture, but it may also lead to a bet
ter distribution of our population.
Once impart to the child q love of
flowers and field, and the city cannot
hold him unless 1T can give him a gar
den spot. Reports from the principals
and teachers where school gardening
is in vogue have been most gratifying.
They declare that without exception
the influence Of this work is refining
and uplifting. 1t brings teachers and
pupils into closer and more sympathet-
ic touch by their mutual love Of the
