HERMANN 'FoRNINsT" MOUND
President of Cincinnati Nationals Calls
1t Thing of Past.

Cincinnati, Jan. 17.-That the turtle
back" diamond is soon to be a thing
Of the past in organized baseball is the
statement made by President Herr
mann of the Cincinnati Nationals. II
shall bring the matter to the attention
of the National League at the Febru-
airy meeting, and hope at that time to
secure their consent to allow us to en-
ploy an official surveyor and to have all
the diamonds perfectly smooth" said
Hermann. 1T is absolutely possible
for a pitcher to hold his pitching to a
safe degree of certainty when he is Is
inches above the batter.
when / came to Cincinnati I found
Bescher, Mitchell and Mclean batting
only fairly. 1 examined the grounds
and saw they were batting up hill
against the pitcher and that the twirler
always had an unfair advantage. There
fore 1 sent for a surveyor and we got
the diamond perfectly level. since
which time not only Bescher, Mitchell
and Mclean, but other players as well,
could hit much better.
1T shall see that we use the canvas
coverings and therefore there will be
no need to have the pitchers box high
er than the rest of the diamond in Or
der to shed the rain

HAD A COSTLY EXPERIMENT.
Olxlahoma'S Guaranty System and
What 1t Meant to Banks.

Guthrie, Ok, Jan. 1.-THE guaran-
tee of bank deposits has cost the banks
of Oklahoma $484,152. This is the re-
port of Governor Haskell The total
net collections from the banks have
been from the beginning of the opera
ton two years ago to January 1, $751;
74O. The total cash in the fund on
December 81 was $73,626, and other
cash items were $260,161. making in
the guarantee fund December 81, 1910,
$333,787. The net loss to the fund to
that date is therefore $484,952. To
cover this loss there remains on hand
about $500 of wrecked bank assets.
The failure of the Columbia institul
ton at Oklahoma City was the largest
drain on the fund and accounted for
more than half the total deficit. Many
state banks have been for several
months declining to pay the assess
ments, but the decision of the United
States supreme court UNFOLDING the
constitutionality of the guarantee law
makes it obligatory on them now to
meet the same
The probabilities are that the pres
ent session of the legislature will
make several amendments to the law,
among them regulating the number of
assessments that can be levied. About
twenty state banks have become ma
tionalized in order to avoid the oper-
atoms of the law, and 1t is probable
that others will do so. The deposits of
the state are at a high level. They
have held up we'll in the last six
months, about in the proportion with
other states of the middle west.

A LIFETIME OF
DISAGREEMENT
Mothers Should Realize What
Neglect Of Skin Troubles
May Mean to Children.

A lifetime of Disagreement and suffer-
ing often results from the neglect, in
infancy or childhood, of minor affec-
tons of the skin and scalp A mother
overlooks little rash or attempts some
simple treatment and in day, perhaps,
the little one is covered with severe
eczema or other distressing eruption.
Then the struggle for cure begins.
A multitude of remedies are tried,
doctor after doctor consulted and hos
pitfalls visited, but too often the suffering
extends, without substantial relief, from
days to weeks, weeks to months and
months to years. Added to this is the
ever-present fear that the itching, burn
ing and designation will become
chronic, marring future welfare and
making life miserable.
In the prevention of the simple skin
affections from which all this suffering
so often arises, and in establishing a
condition of skin health, mothers are
assured that nothing is purer, sweeter
or more effective than Cuticura soap,
assisted by Cuticura ointment. And
greater still, if possible, is the success
of these simple household remedies in
the treatment of the severer skin
troubles themselves. With the first
warm bath with Cuticura soap and
gentle application of Cuticura ONT
ment, the itching and burning usually
cease, the child falls into a refreshing
sleep, the mother rests and for the first
time, possibly, in many weeks peace
falls on distracted household Ere
quently single cake of Cuticura soap
and box of Cuticura ointment ara
sufficient

MAIL CLERKS DON'T LIKE IT.
Declare They Can Not stand Physical
Strain REQUIRED,

Chicago, Jan. 7.-Railway mail clerks
are in revolt over a new rule which the
postofice department has inaugurated, re-
curing them to work six and one-half
hours daily in road service. The rule is
part of the system of economy introduced
by Postmaster General Hitchcock and the
clerks assert that the result is more de-
lays mistakes and mishandling of mail
than ever was known in the service.
At meeting of the Chicago branch of
the Railway Mail association, represent
ing about 1000 clerks on railroads running
out of the city, resolutions were adopted
and sent to officials of the department
protesting that the clerks cannot stand
the physical strain and that the order
should be rescinded. Under the former
rules the clerks worked five and one-half
hours a day in road work, the rest of
their time being taken up in studying dis
tribution- schemes at their homes or at
the terminals.
Many of the older clerks are said to be
leaving the service. They declare that they
cover as large a mileage as the train
crews, besides putting in three four
hours a day in study. If the train crews
are required to do extra. work they are
paid for it, while the railway mail clerks
receive compensation for overtime,
though they are required to work sixteen
hours day.
Individual clerks say they are pro-
hibited by an executive order from ap-
pealing to congress and that if they pro-
test too strongly to the department Off
Gals they get discharged for insubordina-
ton.
