Virginia colony.

conflict. AS / lived in Richmond the

Sunday Baseball
while I have never been a strong ad-
vocate of Sunday baseball l have taken
some interest in the discussion in New
York city over the Sunday baseball ques-
tion,' said lover of the game
Il have always thought it strange that
New York, with all its worldliness, did
not have baseball on Sunday. There is u
large element of respectable people in
New York state that is now advocating a
relaxing or an amendment of the present
law. Golfers doubtless voices large
part of the New York population in this
editorial:
Probably Mayor O'Neill of Auburn had
amateur play in mind when he told the
recent conference of New York state
mayors that Sunday baseball was what
his town needed above everything else
There are two views at least about sport
on the seventh day; frankly, we agree
With the mayor. So Adoes Mr.. Gaynor of
New York, and has the courage of his
conviction, for In New York parks it is
no offense for lad to knock out a two
Dagger or catch a fly some time between
church time and bedtime. Mayor O'Neill
has probably observed that there is lit
tie less illegal drinking, a little less
patronage of commercialzed vice, less
loafing on street corners, in towns and
cities where physical exercise in one of
its cleanest and cleverest forms is not
tahooed. Some one has declared that
baseball is a strong force in America
against the relaxation in manners and
morals-that is one of the present-day
menaces. BY this view the game takes the
place of war In cIuder civilization OF
course baseball, like war, may be asso-
ciated with certain indulgences or vices.
But we would rather see Youngsters we
know play ball, Sundays or week days,
than see them line the curb before the
town drug store, or suspect them of en-
tering certain doors after cautiously peer
ing up and down the Sunday street Let
us be honest, all of us, and perhaps our
towns will be pleasanter to live in, and
We shall have to listen to less preaching

PROSPERITY ON THE FARM,

The final estimate Of the depart.
ment of agriculture on the value of the
nation g fourteen principal farm crops
is 1890, ,30l 900, which is an increase
of SlS2,95s,0 900 over the value Of the
same crops last year and $780, ,772 900
over those Of 1911, based on the prices
paid 10 farmers on December l.
Owing TO the dry weather in the
great corn belt, the figures show an
enormous falling off in the production
OF that cereal, but the prices are higher
and the value of the crop is the largest
in the history Of the country. The
wheat crop was a record d-breaker, so in
the western states, where these great
staples flourish, the farmer has done
fairly well. the acreage planted to
other crops having yielded more or less
abundantly.
For the crops as whole the aver-
age production per acre was valued at
about $l6.50 per acre. The corn crop
averaged s15.96 per acre; cotton,
$22i9; sugar beets, $59e4; wheat,
sl1.14; oats, s1l.44; sweet potatoes,
s6s.6o; rice, s266s; potatoes, s62lO;
tobacco, $l00.39, and rye, sle.s4.

during the coming winter months

!. NEW TUBERCULOSIS CURE.

Admittedly the grave concern OF the
nation is tuberculosis. Many eminent
men and women look upon the "white
plague rs a menace. and therefore
thousands of earnest students, medical
and otherwise, have given their closest
attention to the problem in which they
see so great q peril Unguestionably
much has been accomplished by various
societies whose aim is the prevention of
tuberculosis and its cure wherever pos
aid is eagerly seized upon. Ofttimes
the cure does not stand the test, in
deed, so many do not fulfill expccta-
tions that the laboratory workers, dis
couragcd with the result. only cast
them aside 10 devote time and effort TO
exploring ne1T fields.
According to more or less exhaustive
accounts ~ eastern newspapers, recent
experiments have brought to light the
value of the humble garlic bulb as an
elf'icacious wea pom IN combating tuber-
culoss In the treatment of one
thousand patients in the Metropolitan
hospital, on Blackwell's Island, New
York, garlic was pronounced the su-
pcrior over 6fty-one other medicines.
The list of remedies included the
various vaocines and serums, forms of
mercury and plants Of many kinds.
Phosphorus was gwen the high rating
second to garlic. The explanation of
this is that the garlic, which is often
vegetable sulphur, liberstcs phosphorus
from the bones of the human body in
such form that 1T cures or helps the
tubercular patient. The inorganic
sulphur cannot he assimilated in this
manner.
In the experiments conducted al the
Metropolitan. garlic. in the form of
ointment, was declared to be highly
eficscious in the treatment of tuber
culosis of the joints bones aud glands.
The physicians were grstified that the
malady yielded in a large majority of
cases. In administering for tubercu
losis of the lungs the patient was
given the juice of garlic through the
stomach, in teaspoonful doses thrice a
day. and also was treated by inhala
ton. The latter method was to place
the juice on handful Of absorbent
cotton in an open jar, the patient In
haling deeply. The value of the treat.
ment at once became apparent and
coughs diminished. In not few in
stances an increase IN the red cor
puscles of the blood was noted.
IL was pointed out by tho Metro
politan hospital physicians that those
peoples that use garlic as n food arc
practically free from consumption.
Among these the Italians offer per,
haps the more prominent illustration.
The medical world will await with
not little eagcrness the detailed re.
port Of the physicians who conducted
the Metropolitan hospital tests, and if
present hopes are realized another
