Whether the orchard Is infested

A WIDOWS LUCK
Quit the Thing That Was Slowly In
juring Her.

A woman tells how coffee kept her
from insuring her life:
u suffered for many years chiefly
from trouble with my heart, with
severe nervous headaches and neu-
ralgia; but although incapacitated
at times for my housework, did not
realize the gravity Of my condition till
was rejected for life insurance, be-
cause. the examining physician said,
my heart was so bad be could not pass
me.
This distressed me very much, as
was a widow and had q child de-
pendent upon me. It was to protect
her future that wanted to insure
my life.
Fortunately for me- happened to
read an advertisement containing q
testimonial from man who had been
affected In the same way that was
with heart trouble, and who was beue-
flied By leaving Oh coffee and using
Postum. grasped at the hope this
held oak, and made the change at
once
MY health began to improve imme
diately. The headaches and neuralgia
disappeared, gained In flesh, and my
appetite came back to me. Greatest
OF all, my heart was strengthened
from the beginning, and soon all the
distressing symptoms passed away. No
more waking up in the night with my
heart trying to hy out OF my mouth!
Then again made application for
life insurance, and had no trouble In
passing the medical examination.

gan to use Postum and am using 1t

EARTH SLIDE NILE LONG.
Canal Construction in Panama Oh
structed hY Tons of Dirt.

Another great earth slide a mile long
has started to move in the Culebra cut
in the Panama canal and has already
completely covered the tsirty-fve-foot
bernie (bank of the canal opposite the
towpath) with 100000 cubic yards of ma
teria'. The slide began January Is, ac-
cording to the Canal Record, on the west
bank Of the canal opposite the Culebra
Hotel. Up to the 25th of January the
earth had not encroached on the railroad
tracks In the lower part of the cut to
any extent and the regular operations
there We're not interfered with. Some
hasty shifting Of frame houses became
necessary to save them from the earth
slide.
This movement was not unexpected and
the engineers had calculated for the re-
moval of the material in their original
estimated. n fact, another slip is ex-
pected at any time in a section of the
bank south of the recent break, and to
diminish the danger immediate excava-
ton has been ordered along the upper
level from Cuebra to Rio Grande. 1t is
estimated that over 5000 cubic yards
of earth will have to be removed at this
point.

| What is undoubtedly the most novel
| plan for rewarding earnest efforts on the
part OF ball players in the two major
| lea CUES comes with the proposition to
give two automobiles to the two players
!, of the two leagues who in the opinion
of a committee of newspaper men are
most deserving. regardless of their ar
ristic records during tho season.
Iuasmuch as department is to be one
of the things to be considered, the plan
might bring about the Improvement OF
conduct on the field. 1t would also pre-
vent the manipulation of averages such
as was attempted in Lajoie's case in st.
Louis last year.
It was the Lajoie scandal which caused
the edict to be issued that in the future
no prizes would be accepted for players
who accomplished any sort of feat. 1t
was found that in many instances the
fact that there was a prize interfered
with the players work, and the Lajoie
scandal was the climax which brought
the issue to an end.
The new plan, however. is quite differ
emf since artistic performances are only
to be a part of the things to be con-
sidered in naming the winner of the au-
tomobile.
1t is a rather pleasant proposition for
going to be a rather difficult matter for
the members Of the proposed committee.
When Hal Chase reaches New York
next week it is believed he will sanction
a trade of Jimmy Austin and Frank La
porte for Roy Hartzell of st. Louis.
Judging from the opinions that are being
expressed OF Laporte and Austin, this
pair is through so far as the Highlanders
are concerned. yet would help to plug up
the weak Browns.
Chase has SO many infielders on hand
that there is much speculation as to how
questionable If Knight will be played at
short though it would seem that player
who virtually led all rivals last season
would not be switched to a new position.
But that is apt to take place, according
to New York writer's, the short field be-
ing turned over to one of the numerous
new men. If Chase secures HartzelI he
may play him at third, a position for
which the player is hardly fit. Hartzell
was never cut out for an inflelder In fast
company. At least he has never made a
success of it in st. Louis, though he has
shOne in the Outfleld.
It is to be hoped for Chases sake that
many of the plans which are credited to
have hard time making as good a show
ing as did his predecessor.
Just why Corridor, the third baseman,
who was on duty the day IIajoie made his
eight hits on the st. Louis gronds last
fall, is subjected to severe criticism for
his part In the scandal Is hard to under
stand. Corridor had just Joined the team
and If he played back so that Lajoie
could bunt he did so under instructions
from his manager. 1t is not to be sup
posed that a kid Just out of the minors
anxious to make good would concoct a
scheme whereby some individual could
strengthen his batting average.
Corridor did what he was told beyond

NEW YORK, February 3.-Lawn tennis
players assembled In this city for the
thirtieth annual meeting of the United
States National Lawn Tennis Associa-
ton, which is to be held tonight at the
Waldorf storia. expressed doubt as to
the success of the movement to take the
national championship away from New
port. The impression has gained ground
during the past few days that Karl il.
Behr and those associated with him fail
ed to exhibit the determination of purpose
that their first utterances indicated.
Conrad H. Young Of the Omaha Field
Club arrived In the city during the day.
He said that the prevailing opinion In the
west was against Newport. He hoped
that the matter might be brought to a
successful issue, but while he was in a
measure unfamiliar with the situation as
e whole, he was doubtful as to a change
being brought about from what he had
been able to learn.
