COULDN'T CORNER THE QUACk
Very Evident He Was Used to Getting

A correspondent of the Lancet tells
of a man who, when he went to a
"quack" and complained of a sharp
pain in the loins after sitting on damp
grass for some hours, during which
he frequently sucked the point of the
lead pencil with which he was writ
ing, was told that he was suffering
from "plumbism," and given some
pills. The next day he returned to
the "quack" and said:
you told me l had 'plumbism,
which is lead poisoning, and l now
find there is no lead in lead pencils,
only graphite of plumbago."
oh" replied the "quack," airily,
did l say plumbism is the cause of
your lumbism? l meant to have said
plumbago is the cause of your lum-
bago."
oh" said the man, but anyhow
your pills are only bread"
"Of course" replied the "quack."

MIXING PROS AND AMATEURS
Former President of Amateur Athletic
Union of United States Is Very
Much Opposed to Plan.

Walter L. Liginger, former presi.
dent of the Amateur Athletic Union
of the United States, in an interview
today voiced his protest against q
suggestion of President G. T. Kirby
of the A. A. u. that amateurs and
professionals be allowed to compete
against each other in certain athletic
events.
Year after year." said Mr.. Ligin-
ger, athletic organizations of the Unit
ed States have met at the annual
meeting of the A. A. u, held at New
York city. to discuss and amend the
rules In such way as to strengthen
and safeguard the definition of an
amateur, and place amateur sports
on a sound basis"
Mr.. Liginger offered as a suggestion
that action to be taken by the A. A.
u, making the line separating the
amateur and professional in competi-
ton shade deeper, so that mo mas
euerader, be he ever so good, will
ever be successful In beating his way

INCREASED VALUE OF CANDY
Gain of SIS Per Cent. in United States
During Period Population In
creased Per Cent.

In five years, according to the cen
sus of 1910, there was an increase of
SAT TOO 900 in the value Of the candy
produced in the United States. This
was a gain of 55 per cent during a
period in which the population of this
country had grown probably not more
than per cent.
These figures show the enormous
increase in the consumption of candy
by Americans. Children will be
pleased tc learn that eminent med
ical authorities are now satisfied that
pure candies are not injurious to the
health If eaten in moderation. 1t ap-
pears that the drawback in permitting
the child TO eat unlimited candy lies
in the absence of fat. IF" says
Prof Robert Hutchinson, the parent
is warned to introduce sufficient
quantities of the carbohydrates by
insisting upon the use of butter and
oils in the diet, the child may gener-
ally eat pure candy without detriment
and even with distinct advantage.

ents should still beware of the cheap,

MODESTY AND MODERN GIRLS
Few Years Ago Public Speaking by
Young Women and Athletics
Would Have Been Tabooed.

Addressing an audience of girls at
the charities conference, Miss Beulah
Kennard made this declaration:
Twentieth century girls are less
modest than any since the days of
Louis XVI"
Not many years ago the modesty of
the shrinking violet, which was asso-
ciated with tinidity and expressed by
demurely downcast eyes, was model
followed by young women of that pc
riod. They were expected to faint at
moments Of stress, and it S to be pre-
sumed that they did.
Painting has gone out of fashion.
The telephone girl in the Austin food
who stuck to her switchboard. sending
out warnings to the people of the town
while she herself faced death, was no
exception to the rule Of these times
The level gaze of the unafraid has
displaced downward glances of timid
modesty. A few years ago public
speaking by girls at public gatherings
and the sort of athletics now common
in colleges for women would have
been thought immodest.
It may be. as Miss Kennard says,
that girls show less modesty than
their sisters of other times, but who
is there who says that twentieth
century girls" and their standards are
less admired and less worthy OF ad-
miration ?-Cleveland Plain Dealer.

CONTROL OF THE BASEBALL
First Requisite of Pitcher Cannot Be
Too Strongly Emphasized, Says
Chrlsty Mathewson.

The first necessity for a pitcher is
to have control of the ball, says
Christy Mathewson in St Nicholas.
That can't be emphasized too strong
ly A boy may be able to throw all
the curves imaginable. but if he
can't put the ball where he wants it,
the batter keeps walking around the
bases, and he will never win any ball
games. Therefore. I would, first of
all, advise my young readers to prac-
tice accuracy. until they can place
the ball just where they want to send
it. Let them pitch to another boy,
with a barn OF a fence as a backstop,
and try to put one high, over the IN
side, and then high over the outside,
and again low over the outside, and
keep up this practice patiently until
mastery of the control of the ball is
obtained. A 10y will find that even
if he can't pitch a curve. but has
good control. he will be able to win
many more ball games than If ne has
a lot of benders. but no ability to put
the ball where he wants it.
