@ENEItAL OF the crack batters OF

use IA new bat with "A new wrinkle
to II e season. and II their line OF
thought proves correct there will be a
decided revolution In the styles OF hit
ting. These bats are curved and some
what fattened near the end. The crook
starts about eight inches from the end
OF the stick and extends to within two
inches OF the end where II Is rounded
on. This stick was invented by an old
player who lives In Chicago and sam
pies have been ordered by Larry Doyle,
Eddie Collins, Ty Cobb. Josh Devore
and others. They will try the new bat
out In the spring practice. and II they
learn to do things that are promised
with this pat the solution OF the hitting
problem may be at hand.
The supposed advantage OF this hat
Is that IL makes IL possible for the hit
ter. by manipulating his wrist. Ia pull
the ball into left or right field or to hit
1t straight out TO centre. The inner
surface OF the curve Is so natteneG
that II is comparatively easy to hit the
ball solid. BY hitting the ball quickly
"A r~ight-hand batter can give IL "A swing
and pull the ball over third base. by
slowing up the stroke the ball can be
shovel into right field.
The new bat is based On the principle

ROSE GRATING REQUIRES
ATTENTION TO DETAILS
Work. Much Care Must
o Little Thin8s-Three Good
illustrated.

Grating, like lots Of other green
house work, must be started properly
and much attention must be paid to
every detail of the work. To start
with, good manetti stocks must be
procured and we much prefer the Eng
aish manetti to any other. principally
because the stocks are better rooted
and the wood is much frmer than the
French stock. although we have had
excellent results using the latter. The
stocks should be potted into 2kinch
pots. care being taken to pot firmly.
using a compost of good rose soil. the
same as one would use for potting on
rooted cuttings. says Gardening Mag
azine. Soil three parts. manure one
part and. II the soil is rather heavy. a
little sharp sand to quicken the root
action will be suitable. II the stocks
are extra we'll rooted. it may be ad-
! visable to snip OF the tips Of the roots.
nbut the potting will be rather slow
any way and 1t is best to pot them
with all the roots that can be left on
them: never chop them on short.
After potting, place the plants In q
cool house at a temperature OF 80 de-
grees, or at least enough Of them to
fill the grating case-the others can
be heeled In a cold frame or house
that is free from frost and potted up
when needed. Give the plants thor
ough watering and syringe the tops
twice a day.
1t is a good plan to have two knives
for the work. one to shape the scions
and one to cut the manetti with. Both
should be very sharp. SO as to leave a
perfectly smooth cut. The manetti
stocks should have the eyes swelled

along and saw man standing on the
running board and little three-year-
old child occupying an end seat near
him. he said confbatively: You'll
have to give me a fare for that little
girl"
I'm sorry" said the man calmly.
"but ] refuse to do it."
A heated argument followed. during
which the conductor demanded his
rights and the man calmly refused. At
last the latter said. with a laugh: "Ona
reason why I won't pay for the child
Is that she Is not mine and she is

Of 1t was enough to set my nerves

health but I used to say Nonsense. II
don't hurt me-
Slowly I was forced to admit tho
truth and the final result was that my
whole nervous force was shattered
MY heart became weak and uncer.
tain in its action and that frightened
me. Finally my physician told me.
about a year ago. that I must stop
drinking coffee or I could never ex.
pect to be well again.
II was in despair. for the very
thought of the medicines had tried
so many times nauseated me. I
thought Of Postum but could hardly
bring myself to give up the coffee.
FINALLY I concluded that I owed II
to myself to give Postum a trial. So
got q package and carefully followed
the directions. and what a delicious.
nourishing. rich drink It was! Do you
know I found It very easy to shift
from coffee to Postum and not mind
the change at all?
almost Immediately after I made
the change I found myself better. and
as the days went by kept on improv.
ing. My nerves grew sound and
steady, I slept well and felt strong
and well.balanced all the time.
Now I am completely cured, with
