WHITE SOX WIN
OPENING BATTLE

Chicago, October S.-The Chicago Ameri-
cans hammered a to victory out of
the Nationals in the first game in the
local championship series today. 1t was
a hard hitting contest, both pitching stars,
Cheney of the Nationals and Russell of
the SoX, undergoing punishment. Rus
sell was taken out in the eighth, Scott
finishing the game for the Americans
The game virtually was lost in the first
inning by Cheney who gave two passes
and allowed a triple in that session. The
Nationals made an uphill fight, but
despite home runs by Good and Safer they
could not win.
In the eighth Safer slammed the first
ball against the score board for a home
run, Good was out on close play, but
Weaver's tumble and Archer's double put
men on second and third with one out.
Evers sent Phean to bat in Cheney's
place. Callahan then withdrew Russell
and substituted Scott. In place of Phelan,
Evers then put in Williams and Scott
struck out Leach was an easy out.

short time This is a mistake. The
Christian life is not simply an i'm
provement of the old life, but diff
feTent kind of a life altogether, name
ly, life OF obedience to Christ. Sup
pose you had sour apple tree which
you wished to convert into a sweet
apple tree. What would you do?
Would you dig about it and prune it
and scrape the bark? No, indeed A
hundred years of such Improvement
would not make the tree bear sweet
apples, but the introduction of a graft.
from a. sweet apple tree would do it
very quickly. Even so a lifetime
spent in improving ones habits does
not make one Christian, but the en-
trance of Jesus Christ into the heart
by the surrender of the will, will do it
m a moment People do not become
Christians by improving their life,
but by accepting Jesus Christ. HE
that hath the Son hath life; and he
that hath not the Son of God hath not

The word convert means to turn
about" AS applied to spiritual things.
It means a turning of the soul unto
God. 'tAll we like sheep have gone
astray; we have turned every one to
his own way" The real essence of
sin is this, that the sinner is de-
termined to have his own way. 1t may
not be the worst way in the world. 1t
may not be an immoral way. or a VI
cious way, but it is his way and not
Gods way, which he ought to follow
The only course for the sinner to
pursue is to turn about. to abandon
his way, and to accept Gods way.
Let the wicked forsake his way. and
the unrighteous man his thoughts, and
let him return unto the Lord, and he

sion, then, is a turning of the soul
unto God, a surrender of the will to
the divine will. an acceptance of
Jesus Christ as our Lord and Master.
When the sinner, realizing the folly
of further resistance, finally surren-
ders his will to the Lord Jesus, then
occurs great change. God forgives
his sins, and so changes his heart that
henceforth he loves Gods way better
than his own way. "a new heart will

is settled. and henceforth his aim is
to know and do the will Of God. And

INCREASES EGG YIELD
Salt in Proper Quantities Of Ma
teriaI Benefit to Hens.
Food Prepared for Human Taste With
Mineral ls Not injurious or Repei-
lent to Poultry-Result New
York Station.

1t is tradition that salt is craved
by, and is beneficial, to all domestic
and many wild animals, with the ex-
ception of poultry, and that to these 1t
is poison. That In large quantities
this is true is an undoubted fact, as
has often been tested.
Some years ago the writer was quite
Mortified upon going to the barnyard
one afternoon to find dozen or
more fine hens lying about dead. In
looking for the cause of this sudden
mortality one of the cows messes
was found to be uneaten, and close
examination showed that the attend
ant, either through ignorance or care
lessness, had dumped upon it pint OF
salt-too much to be relished even
by bossy-and after the cattle had
been turned into the pasture. the
chickens, that had free range, discoy-
cred the bucket of bran, and ate from
it freely. and SO rapid was the action
of the salt that some hens died but
a few feet away. An examination OF
| the crops confirmed the supposition
| that it was the heavily sailed bran
that had proved fatal, says writer In
| the Farm Progress.
That food sailed to the human taste
is not however, injurious or repel-
lent to poultry of nearly all kinds
is proved by the avidity with which
the latter eat and thrive upon the
table scraps, which include, besides
bread and meat, all kinds of vege-
tables and bits of pastry. Close OBJ
servers contend that chickens, espe
ciaIly,- seem to need small quantities
of salt in their food, and when given
a chance, will prefer this to unsea
soned grain.
What the exact effects of the slight
Iy saIted ration might be on the gen
] eral health and productiveness Of hens
was made the subject of experiment
two or three years ago at the New
York experiment station.
The feeding trial was made upon
dozen mature hens, especially to as
certain the approximate limit Of thu
feeding. For one lot of hens salt wal
mixed in the food in increasing guam
titles, day after day, until it was feC
at somewhat more than six-hundredthl
of an ounce per fowl, or about one
half pint per day for 100 hens. More
than this produced diarrhoea In SONS
which disappeared when the excess o
salt was withdrawn.
The test was made at the unpro
ductive time Of the year, but an IN
expected and gratifying result wa
that double the number of eggs wer
laid by the hens fed on rather over
sailed food than by any other dozel
fowls fed on unseasoned grain AM
other rations.
