 The county has set apart five acres of land at Woodlawn to be used for this purpose and the work has already been begun on the first building Twenty thousand dollars is needed and the com mittee feels that it only has to call the attention of the generous public to this lauda ble enterprise to secure the financial help that is necessary.

 No worthier cause has ever appealed to a generous citizenship.

 The Lord Listers of Chicago had the best score in the first squad of lives. with 2709 which placed them in sixth position.
 According to the officials, J. Edlich of East St. Louiss was discovered putting rosin on a runway in the singles and the schedule was delayed more than half an hour while the boards were cleaned. No official action will be taken but the bowlers have been warned against a repe- tition of the practice.
 While there were many scores over the 6OO mark in the individuals, fourth place was the best that could be seized by any member of the nine squads.
 Frank F,rohnauer of Columbus was the leader of the day. with s32. after having an excellent chance to go into the lead. George Oakley of Madison, Wis, Is still on top with a score of 62.
 FTohnauer. however, is now in the lead for the grand average prize, with a total of 1895 for nine games.

DIETZ EXPLAINS CASE
Had Cashed Check for Empioye Who
 Was Found Was Short in Funds

The many friends of John c. Dietz, the former postoffice clerk, are much inter- ested in the hearing of his case which comes up in the federal court next Tues day.
 The reports of my case have done me an injustice" said MT. Dietz. "as 1t was at the most mere technicality It will be recalled that cashed a check for an em- ploye of the postofflce at the time was handling funds. This was not unusual. for we are constantly cashing checks. but my indiscretion in this case consisted In holding over the check for my friend and not having 1t cashed until tho following day Tho inspector appeared in the mean time, and in going over the cash invesl- gated and found that the man for whom I had cashed the check had not sufficient funds in the bank to cover it.
 That there was no reel culpablity in my case is shown by the fact that 1 was retained In my position for three weeks following the incident"

 Manager Molesworth stated last night that he is mighty busy these days. He is keeping his eye skinned all the time and he declares that there may be more live dope to come. He declares that the local association will make every effort to assemble a first division team this season and states that If the men already signed are not satisfactory the association will be able to secure later four or five men with big league experience and that this step will be taken if found at all neces- sary.
 MT. Woodward is actively interested, being an ardent admirer of the sport, and he is on the lookout for good men.

 Manager Molesworth has four men from which to pick his third baseman Larson was here last season and was used as utility man. Then there is Emory from the Texas league, Smith from Peorla, lh the Three T. league, and Harriss, who played independent ball in New York state last season All four of these men are considered fast and capable inhelders, and the one who wieds the heftiest stick will probably land the berth.
 In the outfield Mcbride, New fork state man. will in all probability cultivate the gun garden in left field Molesworth will play center field again and McGil- vray. one of last seasons heaviest hitters, will chase the flies driven to the right garden.
 Molesworth is not satisfied with his staff of catchers. While the men who have been signed may develop into good and valuable men, the manager is still scout ing for another good man, and he wants a big one. It is understood that he Is negotiating for McMurray. with Atlanta last season. who was drafted by Chicago, although the outcome of his efforts Is still uncertain. Kane will return Paddy made q reliable man last season while he was in trim, but he seemed to have been unfortunate in the way of being laid ouL- Manager Molesworth has signed Boyle Of the Lowell New England league. team oe last season. and Elliott of the Central association last year. Both of these men come well recommended
 Outlook for Stick Work
 To figure out how the Barons will show up with the stick this season is a hard proposition. Little Is expected of the pitchers in the way of stick work, al- though 1t Is said that Wagner one of the new men. has an eye sharper than a squirrel Gygli made a fair average with his stick last year and for a long time McGilvray led the Southern league, although when the season wound up averages of 300 per cent were as scarce as hens teeth. While no one of the new men has knocked down more than thousand yards of regulation fence they come with the backing of the official dope book and will doubtless develop the aver age strength at the bat if they don't do better.
 New Ball Park Hereabouts Well, it would seem that before the ap- preaching season closes a new ball park will have been acquired hereabouts. and that the old one at West End will be turned over to the grazing cattle. When Rick Woodward acquired controlling interest in the local association he prom ised the fans that he would give them ball park without equal in the south l and it is stated that within the next few | days he will give a definite announce ment of his planc At present he is un- ready to make any statement whatever l Manager Molesworth was busy at the old park practically all day yesterday supervising repair work which is In pro gress there.

Spanish Girl: Yes. short sleeves and
low necks will be worn this summer
probably to a greater extent than ever
before. But don't worry about your
red hands and dark neck: neither pin
your hopes to face or talcum powders.
Try this recipe now and see what 1t

four ounces of spurmaX, dissolve 1t in
half pint of hot water and add two
teaspoonfuls of glycerine. Apply this
inexpensive lotion to your face, neck

A. G.: Your hairdresser did not over
charge you when she asked 70 cents for
a canthrox shampoo. Remember that
rent and many other items pile up eX-
penses for a beauty parlor. You can
take a canthrox shampoo at home at
cost Of two or three cents. All you
need do is put a teaspoonfur of can

stir until dissolved. | agree with you
when you say there is nothing else that

the scalp so thoroughly. 1t certainly
removes dandrum and relieves trrita-

dries so quickly and makes the hair
soft and fluffy, besides doing away
completely with the "streakiness" that
follows a soap shampoo.
J. r.: If you feel handicapped in So

pimples and botches you should try to
get rid of them instead of foolishly en-
deavoring to cover them up with cos
metics. l will give you a recipe that
you can depend upon to purify your
blood Get from your druggist one
ounce of kardene and half pint of al
cohol. Dissolve the kardene and half
teacupful of sugar in the alcohol and
add enough boiling water to make
full quart of tonic. Take a tablespoon
full before each meal and before retir-
ing This old-fashioned remedy cleanses
the blood, arouses a torpid liver and
aids digestion. When your blood Is in
good condition you will be free from
pimples, blotches and skin eruptions-
and instead of a sckly, sallow COM
plexion you will have the rosy glow or
health in your cheeks. When you are
stronger your dull and tired OUT feel
ing will disappear.

Do you know whether or not you're
getting full weight ice?
Have you any means of determining
this easily and quickly?
Our customers do know the weight of
the ice they receive. We place in their
hands a simple, easy way of definitely
determining it.
This does not mean that they are
obliged to weigh the heavy, slippery
block of ice in the ordinary way. We
send then, upon request, a free Meas
uring Rule and Table of Weights, by
means of which they can figure the
exact amount of ice delivered, by mere
ly measuring the cake. The process is
quick, simple and easy. A child can do
the work.
Another great advantage which we
have introduced this season is Coupon
Books.

How Many Women
Destroy Their Hair ?

(From the London Saturday Relew
One of the best known hairdressers
in London-much patronized by roy
alty-has the following to say: Ere
quent washing of the head with soap
and water or prepared shampoOs
makes the hair brittle and causes it to
lose its color and split at the ends.
ANY person desiring abundant, lus-
trous hair should use a dry shampoo
frequently. Mix ounces Of orris root
with A ounces of theroX. Sprinkle a
tablespoonful of this mixture evenly
upon the head; then brush the powder
thoroughly through the hair.
"Therox and orris root keep the hair
light and fluffy and beautifully lus-
trous-it heightens but does not change
the natural color of the hair. Therox
is the only thing 1 know that will pro-
duce a prowth Of hair"
