All Need the Earth.

There is an Antaeus in every one
of us and in the whole of us which
needs the EARTH" says Henry Dem
Arrest Lloyd in his posthumous book.
"a grandmother was spreading before
the vision of beloved child picture
of the beauties of heaven with it's
gates Of pearl and it's pavements of
gold. What said the scornful boy,
unpactivated, mo mud? There spoke
the real philosopher. We are earth
animals, and we need contact with
all the aspects Of nature, human ma.
ture, and other nature. They who
feed wholly on white bread and the
tenderloin and the sweetness and
light Of the best people, art for the
arts sake, cannot get phosphates
enough and soon develop the ricketts,.
The man I heard say he liked to eat
with the common people once in a

she thought it was her duty to as

the approach of extinction. They are
losing touch with the source Of all per-

Our Voices.

as sometimes overheard in the cars,
arising from group of young persons
who have taken the train at one Of
our great Industrial centers. for In
stance, young persons of the female
sex, we will say, who have hustled in
full dressed, engaged in loud, strident
speech, and who, after free discussion,
have fixed on two or more double
seats, which having secured, they pro-
coed to eat apples and hand round
daguerreotypes-I say, I think the
conversational soprano, heard under
these circumstances, would not be

would put in requisition were he get

There are sweet voices among us,

is at any other stage of the coz test.
The team that is rallying and sees
victory almost in hand always IL ex-
cited, and the base runners take more
liberties, longer leads and lose their
heads quicker than at any other time.
Excitement robs them of their natural
caution and the catcher who keeps
cool and keeps thinking can catch
runners off their bases frequently, and
perhaps break up winning rally and
save the game. The Cubs have done
that many times, and it helped them

Confidence in each other is one of
the big elements in winning games.
The catcher who does not have con-
fldence in his infield is afraid to throw,
and even when he does throw he
throws timidly. A bad first baseman
or one in whom the others have no
confidence makes bad throwers of all.

TRAVIS GREAT GOLF PLAYER
Makes Remarkable Record Under Ex-
tremely Unfavorable Weather
Conditions in East.

No one who is familiar with the hcr-
rible weather conditions which pre-
vailed at Atlantic City during it's fall
tournament can gainsay the fact that
the game played by Walter J. Travis
was the finest of playing ever recorded
in this country. 1t must be remem-
bered that there were three days of
almost constant downpour, driving
winds which swept the course from
all points of the compass, winds that
blew down the course and then veered
at right angles, winds that ranged at
one moment from a mild zephyr to q
veritable hurricane. The rain fell per.
sistently, the fair way was soaked and
at times the green's were leaden. On
some holes the green's were fast as
lightning, on others as slow as the ira
ditional molasses. Wet grips, soaked
shoes, heavy rain-soaked clothing were
the order of the tournament.
Despite these things which bothered
and interfered with the game of al.
most every other contestant, Travis
played golf that was unbeatable and
which could not have been beaten had
the days been fair and the air stilled.
When the weather conditions were
ideal, he cut the course record. held
by Fred Sherman, to 70. In driving
rainstorm he qualified with a magnifi.
cent rs.

Shackelford, Newton, Kemble or Bow.
ers went beyond the thirteenth green
In these four he played only forty-nine
holes. 1t is a question whether any
other golfer in the country, under sim.
liar weather conditions, could duplt
cate this feat.

'It must have been frightful," said
Mrs. Bossim to her husband, who was

swered Mr.. Bossim.

Yes. First thing knew, a vase off
the mantel caught me on the ear
then chair whirled in my direction,

Even after saying that, he affected
to wonder what made her so angry for

Exaqgeration.

On her arrival in New York Nine.
Sara Bernhard, replying to a compli.
ment on her youthful appearance,
said: "The secret of my youth? 1t
is the good God-and then, you know,
I work all the time. But 1 am a
great-grandmother," she continued,
thoughtfully, so how can these many
compliments be true? l am afraid my
friends are exaggerating."
Nine. Bernhardts laugh, spontane-
Gus as girls, prompted a chorus of
mo, mol"
YES" said the actress, "uncon-
scious exaggeration, like the French
nurse on the boulevard. Our boule-
wards are much more crowded than
your streets, you know, and, although
we have numerous accidents, things
aren't quite as bad as the nurse sug-
gested.
Her little charge, a boy of six
begged her to stop while in crowd
surrounding an automobile accident
Please wait the little boy said, Want
to see the man who was run over
No; hurry his nurse answered
There will be plenty more to see

ture the elixir of life"
Further on he says: '"The beginning and end
OF the matter is to supply the lacking princi-
pie, and in molecular form, exactly as nature
furnishes it in vegetables, fruits and grain.
To supply deficiencies is the only law of
cure"
The natural conclusion Is that If Phosphate
Of Potash is the needed mineral element in
brain and you use food which does not contain
it, you have brain flag because It's daily loss is
not supplied
On the contrary, II you eat food known to
be rich in this element, you place before the
life forces that which nature demands for
brain-building.
In the trial a sneer was uttered because Mr..
Post announced that he had made years of re-
search in this country and some clinics of
Europe, regarding the effect of the mind on
digestion of food
But we must be patient with those who
sheer at facts they know nothing about
Mind does not work well on brain that is
broken down by lack of nourishment
peaceful and evenly poised mind is neces-
sary to good digestion.
Worry, anxiety. fear, hate, &C., &C., directly
interfere with or stop the flow of Ptyalin, the
digestive juice of the mouth, and also inter-
fere with the flow of the digestive juices of
stomach and pancreas.
Therefore, the mental state Of the individual
has much to do (more than suspected) with
digestion.

Had Money in Lumps.

Charles H. Rosenberg of Bavaria
had Jumps on his shoulders, elbows,
and hips when he arrived here from
Hamburg on the Kaiserin Auguste Vic
toria In fact, there was a series of
smaller Jumps along his spine, much
like mountain range, as it is present
ed on a bas-relief map.
The Jumps were about the size Of
good Oregon apples, and as Rosen-
berg passed before the immigration
doctor for observation, the doctor said
softly to himself, "See that lump"
Then he asked Mr.. Rosenberg to step
aside.
You seem like healthy man."
said the doctor, "but cannot pass you
until I know the origin of those Jumps
on your body" "Ah, it is not sick
ness" laughed the man from Bavaria.
Those swellings is money"
Taking off his coat he broke open a
sample lump and showed that it con-
tanned $500 in American bank notes.
He informed the doctor that he had
$1,000 in all, with which he was go
ing to purchase an apple orchard in
Oregon.
He was admitted to the country

10. the Rich Indian,

The per capita wealth of the Indian
is approximately $3.50, that for other
Americans is only little more than
$1,000. The lands owned by the In
dams are rich in oil, timber and other
natural resources of all kinds. Some
of the best timber land in the United
States is owned by Indians.
The value of their agricultural lands
runs up in the millions. The ranges
which they possess support about $780,
900 sheep and cattle, owned by lessees,
bringing in a revenue Of more than
$272,000 to the various tribes besides
providing feed for more than 1,500,0 900
head of horses, cattle, sheep and goats
belonging to the Indians themselves.
Practically the only asphalt deposits
In the United States are on Indian

What About Brain Food?

TOO MUCH THROWING is BAD
John King, Premier Catcher for CHI
cugo Cubs. Tells How to Win
Let Umpires Alone,
BY JOHN Killing.

Copyright, 1910. by Joseph B. Bowies.>
When / was a pitcher in seml-profes-
sional teams around Kansas City
lost many games by trying to do too
much, by throwing too often, and oy
wearing myself out by wasted efforts.
l was a failure as ball player Ia
several towns before experience taught
me that one play at the right instant
is worth ten at any other time. II
was the old stitch in time saves nine
idea, but it did more for me than any
thing else to win games and to Drlng
me up in the profession.
When l began catching, one OF the
first things l learned was that the
catcher can break up team quicker
than any one else can. He need not
even make an error to do it. One OF
the easiest ways to lose game is Tor
the catcher to throw too much. he
may throw perfectly, and yet by keep
ing the infield moving and out OF po-
sition, expecting his throws and study
ing him instead of watching the Dat
ter, he may cause the game to be lost.
My idea has been to make plays When
they count and not to use too many
signals. The infielders have a lot TO
watch, and if the catcher keeps them
watching him all the time he takes
their minds off their other duties and
causes them to make plumbers. First
and foremost in Importance in winning
is that the catcher never shall make
or attempt to make any play, especlal
ly a throw, unless absolutely certain
that the other men in the play have
caught the signal, understand what Is
to be attempted, and are prepared to
make the play with him.
There comes time in almost every
ball game when the opposing team
has a good chance to win by scoring
a lot of runs in bunch. The inning
in which that happens is the one In
which the catcher ought to pull Oh
his play. In such situation, when
team is having a batting rally, it is
twice as easy for a catcher to catch

Add to Cost of Livinu,

The American Magazine reprints a
letter which was sent to the Massa-

'Tt seems to me that the elimination
Of waste is nearly impossible in house
holds where there are numerous serv-
ants; at least, l hare found it so,
with only one, and the waste rises in
geometrical progression with the num-
Der employed. I have now been doing
my own cooking for nearly year and
feed my family twice as well on
about two-thirds the cost. A large
part of the saving comes in the eco
nomical use of meat. 1 make a de-
licious dinner with a few scraps of
meat that a cook would give to the
dog.
"Then I depend a good deal on
soups, which I invent to suit my
larder. A few cold baked beans, with
little tomato and a bit of meat on
bone, or little left over gravy, make
a soup that all eat with much pleasure
and it is so nourishing that it goes far
to make the dinner Most people do
not understand how different soup
is when it has simmered a good many
hours. The soup that has been boiled
fast couple of hours will taste fiat
and uninteresting, whereas the same
soup five hours later will have such
delicious blend of flavors that all
you know is that it is nice without
being able to distinguish the ingre-
dents. Again it is time that counts.
Cooks waste the coffee and tea hor-
ribly. Mix the coffee with cold water
the night before with an eggshell
and bring it to boil in the morning
and you do not need a great deal for
a good cup of coffee. The tea in the
kitchen is piled into the teapot and
| thrown out with but little of the good
ness extracted. Another frightful
waste is the coal. I use less than
half as much as any girl ever had
and my stove bakes better. I never

MosIem Traditions.

Ramadan is the month exalted by
Moslems above all others. In that
month the Notwithstanding to Mos

Gabriel from heaven and delivered to
men in small sections. In that month,
Mohammed was accustomed to retire
from Mecca to the cave of Hira, for
prayer and meditation. In that month
Abraham, Moses and other prophets
received their divine revelations In
that month the doors of heaven are

Wisconsin will play seven games Of
football next season as the result Of
a systematic campaign which has been
carried on by the students, who de-
manded a longer schedule for the grid
iron squad. The decision granting the
extension of the schedule was handed
down by the faculty the other day
after the athletic council had voted in
favor of seven games.
Owing to the reform wave which
struck wisconsin four years ago the
schedule was cut from seven to five
games, but the student body vigorous

American gridiron team, than it has
been accorded for many seasons.
Three players were chosen as team

less than half the whole eleven, the
representation of the western section
is gratifying to followers of the game,
and incidentally accords Wells and
