BABY'S SKIN TORTURE

when our baby was seven weeks
old he broke out with what we
thought was heat, but which gradually
grew worse. We called in doctor.
He said it was eczema and from that
time we doctored six months with
three of the best doctors in Atchison
but he only got worse. His face, head
and hands were a solid sore. There
was no end to the suffering for him.
We had to tie his little hands to
keep him from scratching. He never
knew what it was to sleep well from
the time he took the disease until he
was cured. He kept us awake all
hours of the night and his health
wasn't what you would call good. We
tried everything but the right thing.
Finally got set of the Cuticura
Remedies and I am pleased to say
we did not use all of them until he
was cured. We have waited a year
and a half to see if it would return
but 1t never has and to-day his skin
is clear and fair as it possibly could
be. hope Cuticura may save some
one else's little ones suffering and
also their pocket-books. John Leason,

BILL" LANCE PRAISES
ANSON FOR GAMENESS

Bill Lange, one of the greatest slug
gers baseball has ever known. tells
the following tale on old Cap. Arson:
THE old Cap was one of the gamest
fellows you ever met. l remember one
he put over on Bad Bill Dahlen that
was classic. Toward the end of the
season one year we were on our way
to play Cincinnati a series of four
games.
There was a good deal of rivalry
between us and the boys were all
keyed up for the coming struggle. But
there was rule that helped put us
out OF business. I'll bring that in
later.
"Dahlen boarded the train in rather
high spirits and made a Decline for
his berth. He fell asleep Immediately
and the train started for the home of
the Reds Now. Arson had this
rule, that every player must get his
ticket from him. It was one way An
son had of keeping track of his men.
Dahlen, of course, pitched into bunk
and never thought to ask the captain
for the piece of pasteboard. When
the conductor made his rounds he
gathered in all the fares but one. Bad
Bill didn't possess the co,or of q
ticket.
Then the conductor sought out An
son. but the captain just pointed to
the rule and said that the ticketless
sleeper would have to get off the
train. Arson had $1,000 bet on the
proposition that he would come out
on the long end of the series. But he
was game. The train was brought to
halt. Dahlen was hustled out of his
comfortable slumber and set down at
milk station 40 miles or so out of
Chicago.
Cincinnati beat us that series.
They won two games and the fourth

In Germany has proved powerful fac
tor in combating tuberculosis. No less
powerful have been the public sana-
toria, the number of beds in which
have increased during the past Is
years from 243 to S,422. OF the 200
tuberculosis sanatoria and hospitals
in Germany, 35 are supported by the
carriers of sickness insurance. The
statistics of the imperial insurance
department show that as many as AZ
per cent. of the number of persons
treated in these institutions remained
in good working health five years
after being dismissed from the sana-
forum.

SAYS CATCHER Is REAL
LEADER ON BALL FIELD

The appointment of Charley Doom
as manager of the Phillies is another
point in favor of the argument that
the catcher's position is the most i'm.
portant of all on the baseball dia.
mond
Some time ago at a hotel corridor
tanning bee the relative merits of the
various positions were being dis.
cussed. Harry Davis, captain and
first baseman of the Athletics, held
out that the catcher's position was
the most important of all, notwith-
standing the value attached to a good
shortstop, a clever second sacker, a
heady first baseman or an alert man
on third, besides the good eye and
strong arms needed in the outfield.
Connie Mack, who, as everybody
knows, was himself a star backstop,
seconded the argument by Davis and
his side won
The principal argument used by the
Athletics captain was that the man
behind the plate was the pivot on
which the workings of the team re-
volved.
"All eyes are on the catcher" ex-
planned the White Elephant leader
He tips off the pitcher what kind of
ball to put and in like manner
tells rs all in the field what is about
to come off so we can be prepared for
it.
Then, again, the catcher has to
look after his share of battery work,
catching every ball put over and at
the same time has to keep an eye and
ready arm to head off the man on
the base who tries to steal
IF that is not something of a posi-
ton, I'd like to know!"
According to all this, along with
having a star catcher as leader of the
team, the Phillies have manager
who will be able to direct" his team
in every sense of the word from his
position back of the plate.
