EAGER TO WORK.
Health Regained by Right Food.

The average healthy man or woman
Is usually eager to be busy at some
useful task or employment.
But let dyspepsia or indigestion get

burden.
"a year ago, after recovering from
an operation" writes Michigan lady,
my stomach and nerves began to give
me much trouble.
"At times my appetite was vora-
cious, but when INDUCED, indigestion
followed. Other times I had no appe-
tite whatever. The food took did not
nourish me and grew weaker than
ever.
81 lost interest In everything and
wanted to be alone. had always had
good nerves, but now the merest trifle
would upset me and bring on a violent
headache. Walking across the room
was an effort and prescribed exercise
was out of the question.

but did not believe what l read at the

Grape-Nuts.

year, but now after two months on

Does Your Cat Couqh2

Poor pussy! AS If the immemorial
charges against her of keeping us
awake O. nights and of eating canary
birds whenever she gets the chance
were not enough, the doctors have
just discovered that for years she has
been responsible for the spread of
diphtherla. DR.. G. J. Awburn of
Manchester, England, having traced
an epidemic of this disease in a sub
urb Of that city to a pet cat belonging
to one of his patients, has found, after
much clever investigation, that all
cats are peculiarly susceptible to
diphtheritic affections of the throat
He has therefore recently been warn
ing all families who own cats to
watch them carefully, and, II they de-
velop coughs, to forbid their being
Rugged and petted. DR.. Awburn fur
Their recommends that II the cough
persists and the cat begins to grow
thin to have the animal destroyed at
once. The only really safe way, he
says, is to let the first wheeze be
pussy's death warrant.

Of the lot. A great many young play
ers make the mistake of swinging too
hard. Notice how many batters have
two strikes called and then hit the
third solidly.
Then begin the study of pitchers.
No man ought to go into game with
out some knowledge of the style OF
the opposing pitcher, whether he IL
slow or fast, straight or curve or spit
ball, and the more he knows about the
other pitchers the better he ought to
hit. II a batter knows what the pitch
er Is likely to do, he is much more
likely to hit. The fact Is that ma
jority of hits made in the finished
game are made when the pitcher is in
the hole and the batter is almost GER
tain what Is to be pitched.
1t is question for each batter to
study out for himself, btu perhaps q
hint or two may help. Keep cool.
watch closely and study all the time
and you may hit-if you are lucky.

SAVED OLD LADY'S HAIR

my mother used to have a very bad
humor on her head which the doctors
called an eczema, and for it had two
different doctors. Her head was very
sore and her hair nearly all fell out
In spite Of what they both did. One
day her niece came in and they were
speaking of how her hair was falling
out and the doctors did it no good
She says. Aunt, why don't you try
Cuticura Soap and Cuticura Oint
mentr Mother did and they helped
her. In six months time the itching
burning and scalding of her head wai
over and her hair began growing. To
day she feels much in debt to Cutt
cura Soap and Ointment for the fine
head of hair she has for an old lady
of seventy-four.
MY own case was an eczema in my
feet. AS soon as the cold weather
came my feet would itch and burn and
then they would crack open and bleed.
Then I thought l would fee to my
mothers friends, Cuticura Soap and
Cuticura Ointment. l did for four or
Ave winters, and now my feet are az

Luck think is the biggest element

because luck broke against them dur
Ing their early careers and they new

chance.
Scoring runs wins, hitting scores
runs and luck is the best part of hit
ting, which is why reason that luck
wins. There are mysteries in batting
that even the batters do not under

hitters standing up well, hitting the
Dali hard and squarely, who, to watch
them hit you would think were in the
800 class, and yet they are standing
away down in the averages. Hitting
runs In streaks, too. Often a man will
hit hard and steadily without getting
safe hits for weeks and then suddenly
the luck will turn and everything he
hits will 60 safe.
There is no way for a man to learn
to bat. take that back. I think left
handed batters who are extremely
fast actually can be taught to bat
whether they are natural hitters or
not. They can learn to poke and
push the ball, and chop at 1t, mixing
1t up with their swings and by prse-
tice become pretty good hitters wheth-
er they were so at the start or not
But with the great majority hitting
the ball is natural and Is the result
of quick eye and steady drive at the
ball. Boys just starting the game.
however, can cultivate their natural
ability to bat. They ought to study
themselves to observe how they stand
at the plate, how they hold their bats
and how they move when the ball is
pitched. They may be natural hitters
who have not learned to handle them
selves. Try to keep q steady footing.

Why women like the baldheaded
man 1t Is somewhat difficult to define.
1t may be because he appears to be:
Thoughtful and kind.
Trustworthy and conflding. Whim.
steal. Past the follies and frivolities
Of youth.
Usually successful.
A man Of property.
Opinions why women like the bald
headed man obtained by the Daily
Mirror are as follows:
He is not silly like young men.
He accepts refusals Of marriage SC
nicely that one is sorry one did not
accept him.
The bald patch looks so clean and
nice. One would like to kiss 1t.
A doctor welcomes badness when II

a summary of the proceedings of the
two houses of congress yesterday,
taken from the official records:
SENATE-The nationality and mother
tongue of all persons enumerated for the
next census was provided for in bill
passed by the senate. The provision
for recording the race of persons emu
merated was left out of the present law,
but upon demand of a large number If
citizens of foreign birth its reinstate-
ment was decided upon. The senate
also passed bill providing for an cleo
tion by the people of Hawaii on the sub
ject of prohibition for the islands. Ad-
journed until today.
HOUSE - The consideration of local
bills affecting the District of Colum-
bia consumed the entire time of the

hope the editorial association
would stand by the repubh can
congress and administration in
it's attitude toward the tariff

egram follows:
II sincerely hope you will
have a full meeting, that there
will be harmony and that the
editors of Illinois
will stand by the action of the
administration in
reference to the tariff bill and
other progressive legislation.
The expression of a meeting
like the one you have called
arising from a normal, sane

for good in Illinois and the rest
of the country.
