NO REASON FOR IT
When Lexington Citizens Show
the Certain WAY Out.

There can be no Just reason
why any reader of this will con-
tinue to suffer the tOrtures of an
aching back, the annoyance Of
urinary disorders, the dangers of
diabetes of any kidney ills when
relief is so near at hand and the
most positive proof given that
they can be cured. Read what a
Lexington citizen says:
Mrs. Mary Weedin, Railroad
Street, Lexington, Mo-, says: Il
was so bad off with kidney COM
plant about three years ago chat
| did not expect to get well. /
had severe pains through my
back and | was often so lame
and stiff that I could scarcely
bend over. Headaches and diz-
zy spells annoyed me and my
ankles were badly swollen, as if
| had dropsy. Finally someone
told me about Doan's Kidney
Pills and procuring a box at
Crenshaw & Young's Drug Store,
| began their use. The first few
doses of Doan's Kidney Pill,
gave me relief and in a short
time, was free from kidney com
plant. Doan's Kidney Pills
cured me and thus earned my
endorsement.

Triumph of a New Idea.

About the quantity Of reading
matter furnished in the average
Sunday newspaper there is no
reason to- complain-unless it be
on the score of too-muchnesS-
but the quality often caves much
to be desired. The only shining
and unqualified exception to this
rule is found in the unique Sun
day Magazine Of THE CHICAGO
RECORD-HERALD. There is
nothing else like it in the whole
range Of American journalism.
Ii is a real magazine that is reg
ularly issued as a part OF the
Sunday paper. 1t is filled with
first class fiction, able articles,
choice pictures and a wide range
of good miscellany, all by popular
Or really famous authors and ar
lists. When writers such as
Conan Doyle, Anthony Hope, Jack
London. Sewell Ford and Cyrus
Townsend Brady are counted a.
mong the contributors to a
Sunday paper its triumph can no
longer be doubted.

by tuberculosis.
Jacob Schaefer, surnamed THE Wiz
ard" without dispute was the greatest
of all billiard players, and did more
for the development of the game than
any other man, living or dead. To him
belongs the credit for the modern sci
entific game. He led the way, and there
Is scarcely a large city in the world
where Schaefer's wonderful skill in the
manipulation of the balls was not ad-
mired at some time in his lifelong ca
reer az a billiard expert.
Jacob Schaefer was born of German
parents in Milwaukee, Wis, on Feb. 2,
1855. Before he had reached his 10th
year his parents moved to Leaven-
worth. Kan, and there the boy at the
age of IA, first became interested in
the game. He progressed rapidly and
at the age of Is he was the acknowl-
edged champion of Leavenworth In

Klessler, the champion of Wisconsin

defeated Lew Shaw, now in Mime

pert finger billiardist 100 to 500 FOR

Who Will LEAD
BASEBALL HOSTS

What Is Fargo going to do about
baseball this season?
Two propositions have been sug-
gested through the columns Of The
Forum during the past, week, either of
which is worthy of consideration.
A four-team International league
meets with favor at Brandon and
Winnipeg, With all due respect to
the true sportsmen in both of these
points, tit is to their ardoc to cop pen
nants, that can be attributed to the
failure of the former Northern league.
The Peg magnates remember the SAL
airy limit clause until the opening of
the season. II the Canadian metro
polls can't have championship team
1t is because money can't secure the
players h .
That's alright for. the Peg. but for
smaller cities. IL tolls the death knell
for the national sport Baseball en-
thusiasts want to see evenly matched
games, between teams at least in the
same class.
If Winnipeg and Brandon, too could
be coupled with an agreement that was
worth the paper 1t Is written on as to
salary limit, there is little doubt that
baseball could be made to prosper.
There are many Fargoans, however,
who favor instead. valley or state
league and 1t is likely that some action
may be taken along these lines within
a short time.
Fargo wants baseball and from
present indications all that is neces-
sary is first class manager. Some
one please step forward.

races, which will be held March %, %

training with the big league ball p.

pion's eye is keen and clear.
Oldfield's Benz will be given its first
work out on the beach the early par,

will send the car at record speed before
many days go by. Barney says, how
ever that he will not let the big car
out until he has determined how a 900
horsepower Juggernaut acts at a 1876
miles an hour clip.
The timing for all the events will be
done under the direction of Official
Timer Warner, of Beloit, Wis. The
Warner device which was used at In

Room Struck by Bolt.
Southern Pines S. c., March a.
Four of the Phillies had a narrow es-
cape from death this morning when a
bolt OF lightning shattered the flag pole
and cupola OF the Piney Woods Inn
and shot through the roof into the room
where James p. Moroney, Louis Schet-
tier. John Bates and Harry Welchonce
were sleeping.
The men apparently owe their lives
to an iron gas fixture. The bolt tore
a hole through the ceiling two feet
across, directly over the bed in which
Moroney was sleeping. The southpaw
pitcher was stunned by the shock He
sat I'D in bed, his hair full OF sand
and plaster. and inquired of his terrified
room mates what had happened. The
gas fixture was torn down and thrown
on Moroney's bed
The lightning bolt ran along the gas
fixture and down the pipe along the
hall ceiling, throwing the guests into
panic. In many places paper was
ripped off the walls. The shades from
the windows near the south corner Of
the building where the bolt fell were
blackened. There was a panic at the
hotel, but aside from Moroney, no one
was hurt.

HARD LUCK. ADAM

In the Nashville Tenuessean, Grant

Adam had no Easter hat to buy for
Mrs. Eve:
Adam had no cost of living troubles
to aggrieve;
Adam had no job to hold by shaving
day or night,
Adding columns-beating carpets
planning stuff to write;
Adam had a hectic cinch-played
across the boards,
Everything that Nature and an idle
life Affords
And yet / wouldn't change with him
or trade my bitter cross
He never saw triple drive the win
ming run across.
Adam had no dress to buy to calm his
spouses grief
CAll that Adam had to do was go and
pull q leaf)-
Back in Father Adams day-long and
long ago,
There was not an Aldrich nor crusty
Uncle Joe;
Raving politicians never roamed about
the land,
But with it all poor Adam never had
a chance to dream
OF bold three-hundred hitters and a
pennant- winning team.
Adam living on Easy street-dream-
ing in the sun;
Never a policeman there to cut in on
his fun;
Never had cook around threatening
to leave
Bridge was not invented in the days
of Mrs. Eve:
Take 1t up and down the line. in those
golden days,
For poor old Father Adam never saw
Adam had it on US in a hundred diff
ferent ways;
And yet with all his blessings what a
dull and massive pail
For poor old Father Adam necer saw
