Bobby Wallace. great little shortstop and manager of the St. Louis Browns-a portrait and two action pictures showing him in sensational plays. The upper one shows Wallace sliding home on Catcher Ira Thomas of the Athletics. It has been said that Wallace lacks aggressive ness. The exact fact is that he performs leisurely except when there is something immediately to be gained by strenuos- ity, and then he Is there with rush. as is shown in this fearless slide that won one of the few victories chalked up by the Browns this year. The lower picture illustrates his catlike swiftness in slapping the ball onto the runner. Ty Cobb is the man sliding, on an att

Some Antique MUGS,

Can't Get Away From 1t

phoric Acid combined" and Potash 73.44 per
cent from total of 10107
Considerable more than onehaf Of Phos-
plate of Potash.
Analysis of Grape-Nuts shows: Potassium
and Phosphorus (which join and make Phos-
phate of Potash) is considerable more thap
one-half of all the mineral salts in the food.
DR.. Geo. W. Carey an authority on the
constituent elements Of the body, says: The
gray matter of the brain is controlled entirely
by the inorganic cellsalt, Potassium Phos-
phate phosphate of Potash). This salt unites
with albumen and by the addition of oxygen
creates nerve fluid or the gray matter OF the
brain Of course, there is trace OF other
salts and other organic matter in nerve fluid,
and has the power within itself to attract by
its own law of affinity, all things needed to
manufacture the elixir of life"
Further on he says: 1.-THE beginning and end
of the matter is to supply the lacking principle,
and in molecular form, exactly as nature fur
nishes it in vegetables, fruits and grain. To
supply defciencies-this is the only law OF
cure"
The natural conclusion is that II Phosphate
of Potash is the needed mineral element in
brain and you use food which does not contain
1t, you have brain flag because its daily loss is
not supplied.
On the contrary, if you eat food known to
be rich in this element, you place before the
life forces that which nature demands for
brainbuilding.

LOST FAITH IN WHITE MAN
Eskimo Tested Efficacy of Telephone
Scheme, and Realized He Had
Been Deceived.

An interesting story Is told regard
ing the efforts of an Eskimo to con-
struct telephone line. The Eskimo
came into possession of piece of wire
of considerable length and never hav-
ing seen wire before he asked Profess
sor Mcmillan of the Peary north pole
expedition what it was and what it
was used for He was told that the white
man strung it on poles stuck in the
ground and voice talking to an in
strument at one end could be heard at
the other end. After some search the
next morning the Eskimo was found
to be engaged in telephone construc-
tion work of his own. He stuck some
sticks in the ground and hung his
wire on them. He held one end of
the wire to his mouth and talked to
it at the top Of his voice. Then he
ran as fast as he could to the other
end and held the wire to his ear with
the expectation of hearing his own
words repeated.
When he failed to hear any sounds
the expression on his face revealed
his opinion of his white friend.

In his ruling Judge Carpenter de-.

Under Surveillance in Connection

of John J. Mcnamara, secretary of the
International Association of Bridge
and Structural Iron Workers, and his
brother James B. Mcnamara, charg-
ed with a series of murders by the

The prosecution considers, that 1t
has made a great gain in partly sub
stimulating the alleged confession Of
Ortia NcManigal by the location Of
a photograph of him which he said
v"s taken while he was here in De-
cember, prior to the explosion of the

Laundry work at ho1ae would be
much more satisfactory if the right
Starch were used. In order to get the
desired stiffness, it is usually neces-
sary to use so much starch that the
beauty and fineness of the fabric is
hidden behind a paste Of varying
thickness, which not only destroys the
appearance, but also affects the wear
ing quality Of the goods. This trou-
BILE can be entirely overcome by using
Defiance Starch, as it can be applied
much more thinly because of its great
er strength than other makes.

Is II possible to nourish, strengthen and Re-

If he builds back little more each day, the
brain grows stronger and more capable That
also is sure Where does man get the material
to rebuild his brain? Is it from air, sky or the
ice of the Arctic sea? When you come to
think about it, the rebuilding material must
be in the food and drink

MILITARY LEADERS.
He DISPLAYS GREAT HERO|SM
Dares Orozco's Men to Shoot Him,
At Own Risk He Saves General
Navarro, Whose Life Had
Been Dema 1ded by

Juarez, Mex.-The supreme test
the clash between the military and
political authorities, was experienced
by the provisional government OF
Mexico today, and Provision Presi.
dent Francisco |. Madero, Jr tonight
is complete master of the situation.
After day of thrilling incidents,
during which the lives of Madero and
his chiefs were in danger, General
Drozoco, in a moment of passion, or.
dered the arrest of the little rebel
leader and demanded the resignation
of the provisional cabinet.
The capital of the provisional gov,
eminent is quiet. General Navarro.
q. the defeated federal commander,
whose life was threatened early today
by an angry mob of insurrectos, was
spirited away by Francisco |. Made
TO, Jr., himself, to the American side
of the Rio Grande, and tonight is
safely ensconsed in the home OF
friends in Ell Paso
A plot, quiet, deeply laid, is sus-
pected by the rebel leaders as the
cause of the near-riot in front of the
Madefo headquarters today and some
of the Madero sympathizers freely
venture the opinion that it was
sinister scheme on the part of those
who are trying to break up the or
ganization of the revolution to foster
opinion throughout Mexico that the
movement is one of bandittery and
anarchy.
Provisional President Madero in a
statement issued tonight charged that
General Orozoco's actions were incit.
ed "by. persons interested in bringing
about disunion among us"
Early today General Orozoco called
on Provisional President Madero, and
the two men talked alone for some
time. Suddenly their voices were
raised and the other rebel political
chiefs rushed into the room, only to
find themselves held back by some of
Orozoco's men. A throng of soldiers
had gathered outside the building and
Senior Madero determined to appeal
to them. Six shooters had been
drawn and rifles were leveled, but
Senior Madero stood bravely before
the crowd, and shaping his breast
shouted, shoot me, shoot me, if you
dare"
General Orozoco was at his side.
His men has ostensily been summon
ed to take part in the coup etat, but
as Madero stepped forth among them
and talked in his calm, reassuring
way, the affection which has been
rpening among his men since the rev.
olution began, crystalized in a mighty
shout, viva MaderO."
There are all sorts of stories in re.
gard to the clash today, but at the
bottom it was apparent that dissen-
sion among the military chiefs was
the basic cause of the disturbance
Colonel Villa was said to have insist
ed on General Navarro's life, while
General Orozoco was said to have
been displeased with the naming of
a civilian as minister of war. Tonight
all is harmony. Senior Madero has
impressed upon General Orozco that
the choosing of a cabinet and the
management of a government is quite
outside the function of the military.

"kickinu the Bucket"

When we speak facetiously of some
one for whom we have no reverence
as having kicked the bucket" We
employ a phrase that would seem to
be a piece of latter-day slang, but, as
a matter of fact, it dates back to old
England, when, about the year 1925,
one Bolsover hung himself to beam
while standing on the bottom Of a
bucket and then kicked the bucket
away. Although at first used only in
cases of suicide, it has been applied
in the course of years to any death,
without distinction.
