Must Handle Ice with longs.

DR.. S. J. Crumbine is being aided
and abetted in his campaign to clean
up things in Kansas by the state
board of railroad commissioners The
board of health beat the railroad com
mission to it when it came to ordering
the discontinuance of common drink
ing cups on the trains, but now the
railroad board has put one over on
the board of health-all good natured,
understand. The board has ordered
the railroads to clean up their water
coolers and to change their system
of handling ice.

Danger in Splitting on Sidewalks.

In order to show that splitting on the
sidewalks is dangerous to health, AN in
vestigation has been made by DR.. John
Robertson, medical health officer of
Birmingham, England, which shows
that seven per cent. of the "spits" col
lected in public places contained con-
sumption germs. On the other hand
the dust collected from the floors of
the cottages of the Adirondack Cottage
sanitarium has been found to be free
of tuberculosis germs, showing that
careful consumptive is not dangerous.

Was Remarkable Journey.

Col. Roosevelt's arrival at Khartum
completed one of the most notable
journeys since the days of Livingstone
and Stanley. The visit to the dark
continent and the invasion of the lair
of the lion, tiger. elephant and rhinoc-
eros has been remarkable because of
the escape of Col. Roosevelt and his
aides from the deadly contagious dis
eases that haunt the jungles. Up to
the time of his arrival there had been
no serious accidents
The town of Khartum is a mass of
color. Flags of Egypt. England and
America are everywhere. and the ex-
president has probably appreciated
nothing more than the opportunity of
visiting this historical spot.

Certainly the gentleman who under
take to explain the cause of high
prices of necessaries of life should
reach some sort of agreement and har-
monte their views before they try
to enlighten the public. For weeks
the big packers and others have been
saying that meat is so dear because
the people eat so. much and the supply
is not equal to the demand. But here
come the shoe manufacturers declar-
ing that the people are turning vege-
tarians, and that with so few animals
killed for food there is a shortage in
skins and hides. Here are two radical
ly different stories. Which is the

He was dressed in stylish clothes
and his regular teeth showed no signs

and we'll manicured hands show any
evidence OF prize fighting experience.
Moreover. he did not even display

ST LOUIS CLUB
NOW FOR SALE
Livingston Is Reported as Saying
That Hedges Will Sell 1t
for $4,000.

New York, September 11.--Conflict.
American League club are in circula-
tion just now. jefferson Livingston
of Cincinnati. one Of the disappointed
promoters of the proposed all-star
that Robert Lee Hedges will sell the
st, Louis club for s250,000. John e.
Bruce. secretary Of the national com.
mission and a stakeholder of ths club.
while President Hedges refuses to
talk. The st. Louis Browns have fall
ed utterly this year. President Hedges
has spent money right and left to Sc
cure new material, but his team is last
in the American League race, and is
hopelessly weak. In American League
circles the St Louis problem is caus-
ing much discussion and 1T is said on
pretty fair authority that If Hedges
should decide to sell there would NOT
be much opposition on the part of
President Johnson, provided. of course,
the purchaser was suitable.
Two years ago Comiskey, owner OF
the Chicago White Sox and the biggest
man In his league, had personl run
in with Hedges at a local hotel, the
subject being baseball. Hedges at that
time was enjoying success, ss his
Browns. under McAleer. had Just made
strong fight for the pennant, though
losing FIST honors by only a few
games Comiskey and Hedges ex-
changed hot verbal knocks before
No ,oI TIT
But enough was said to create the
impression that the st. Louis man was
not member of the inside circle which
is in control of the league.
When Hedges, therefore, decided to
turn McAleer loose in response to
general clamor at the end of last sea-
son. 1t is said that Johnson, Comskey
and other club owners protested
against the move, attempting to show
that the slump OF the Browns was
! not due to managerial mistakes, but to
a series of unfortunate accidents. But
Hedges stuck TO his plan. and when
McAleer was released Johnson prompt
ly recommended him to the Washing
ton club.
The result of this change has worked
wonders in Washington. Never in the
history of baseball has there been so
much interest in the Nauonal Capl'
tai The crowds this year have bro
ken all records, and the Nationals have
assumed higher position in the race
than any former team representing
that city in the big leagues. The
Washington club has made big money
and the stockholders attribute the en-
tire success to McAleer's methods. In
view of these facts, it Is reported that
Hedges has become discouraged, ana
that the American League leaders will
welcome change in the ownership
and management of the st. Louis club.
