DICK SMITH PALS DOWN.

Because of the sad showing made
by his Scranton, Pa, team in the
New York State league race, Dick
Smith, the former Decatur manager
is slated for release. Scranton is now
at the bottom of the league and the
fans have lost so much interest in tie
game that the scores are no longer
published in the home newspapers.
When Smith leaves Scranton it IS
probable that he will become mana
ger OF the Irouton, Ohio, club in the
Ohio State league. Ironton is Smiths
home town and the fans there are
aware of what he accomplished under
Dick Kinsella in Springfield and they
have much confidence IN him--Deeatur

HOW THE BOYS LOOK.

The fielding of the Blue Sox was
brilliant and only one error was chalk
ed up against them. FIaharty dropped
a fly after Koepping and Neer be-
came mixed up over the high one that
Flanagan polled in the right garden.
Crouch had the locals eating out of
his hand all during the fray. Several
times he grew unsteady, but always

Decatur, ILL.,, July 1S.-With Roddy

Reeds men we're completely at his

the second game of the series by
score of 3 to 2. It's an awful thing
to stand on first base and see your
kid brother getting the stuffing whaled
out Of him without being able TO land
a hand, but that was the unpleasant
experience of Mister L. Duggan, De
catur first sacker. j. DUggan, kins-
man, made his DEBUT on the slab and
was roughly handled by the Blue Hose,
who denied him for nine bingles in
six and two-thirds innings. At the end
of that time Harper was trotted out
of the stable 10 essay the life saving
role. but as a life saver he was
blank. Decatur grabbed two runs off
Roddy in the opening chapter, but af
ter that II was a lovely row of goose
eggs all the way. The Sox grabbed
one in the second, and then it was
an uphill battle until the sixth, when
one bread winner was showed over
the gu'ta percha, which knotted the
count.

For the first time in the history of
Presbyterianism the four principal di-
visions of the church joined in union
communion service at Atlanta.
The Southern Baptist Convention
chose Nashville as the meeting place for
the 1914 convention and asked the States
of the convention TO raise $4,000 that
he Louisville Seminary owes for educa-
ting ministers.
The Southern Presbyterian Assembly
accepted the statement of belief submit
ted by special committee and the Nor
thern branch postponed action on the
relations with the Union Theological
Seminary until next year.
Five persons were consecrated to mis-
sion work in foreign fields at a meeting

which is in session at Bowling Green in
connection with the Cumberland Pres
byterian General Assembly.
Eighteen persons were baptized last
evening at the First Baptist church. DIR.

A Big COncern

Not all of our people know what alarge
and up-to date enterprise we have in the
Normal City Laundry. In fact we did
not know ourselves what big thing the
laundry is until we visited the busy
place the other day. Equipped with
the most modern machinery and manag-
ed by people who know their business.
work is turned out at this laundry that
compares most favorably with that of
any other concern of its kind in the
country. Some twenty five people are
employed and things in general run like
clock work. We found Messrs. Joe J.
Embry and III. r. Tavis, the genial
proprietors, making hand and a half
each, but not too busy to show the
Climax the many modern machines
they have in operation. Some of these
days this Normal City Laundry will be
seen operating its extensive business in
big brick business house on Main or
some other prominent thoroughfare of
the city. The business justifies better
building and more prominent location.
Watch out for a change.

Blackhead in Turkeys.

In many localities the growing Of tur-
keys has become almost extinct as the
result of malignant parasitic disease
knwn as blackhead. This disease is not
only extremely contagious, but it is
very much aggravated through inbreed-
ing, which depletes the vitality of the
stock of breeding turkeys and makes it
possible for the germs to gain destruc-
tive foothold. 1t is called "blackhead"
because the heads of those affected turn
yellow or black, but this is only symp-
tom, as the seat of the disease is in the
liver and intestines. 1t is usually con-
tracted from other fowls, but is prima-
rily caused by the absence or deficiency
of mineral elements in the feed, which,
owing TO the semi-domestic nature of the
turkey. are an essential aid TO proper
food digestion. In It's wild state the
turkey was accustomed to supply itself
with these elements, which are found in
minute portions in various grains, seeds
and grasses, and this disease is unknown
TO the wild turkey. Ii has been claim
ed that there is no known specific for
this destructive disease, but a prepara-
tion that is being marketed under the
name Of Bourbon Poultry Cure has now
proven most eflicacious remedy for the
cure and prevention of this ailment, and
large turkey raisers are using it with
great success, many saying they have
saved their birds with it after having
lost half their focks. The disease is
most preva ent in the summer months
and at the beginning of cold weather in
the fall
