Pitts, a baseball player whose home il
between Tea and Lennox, dropped dead
yesterday afternoon on the ball field at
Volga. A game was scheduled to be
played between the Volga and Bruce
teams, and Pitts was playing second
base for the Bruce boys. The Bruce
boys were out practicine and Pitts had
thrown three balls back to the catcher
or to other basemen when he was
seen to collapse. Members of both
teams ran to his side and medical
aid was summoned, but he was dead
before the doctors arrived. Death
was caused from heart failure,
In taking soil moisture samples at
the South Dakota experiment station
this spring some striking differences
were found in the amount of water in
tie land which grew corn ia 1919 as
compared with the land which grew
wheat. For example, one plot which
grew IL bushels Of wheat in 1912 CON
tains 10 per cent of water now, while
the plot adjoining, only separated by
a road twenty feet wide which grew
lS bushels of corr in 1912 now con
tains "a per cent of water, Just twice
as much. This is due to conservation
of moisture by ~cultivating and by
catching snow which lodged in the corn
stalks. This shows one reason why
wheat yields better after corn.

All our plates are circular in shape.
Now. a square or oval plate would be
just as convenient. Is there any reason
why plates should be of their present
shape? 1t seems that If we dip into
the far past we may discover the
cause. Our remote ancestors ate their
food or fat pieces of wood cut from
a tree trunk. The tree trunk being
cylindrical in shape. the earliest plates
were therefore roughly circular. and
the shape has been used ever since.

Durability of Steel,

1t has been shown that nearly all
the failures of steel occur very early
in it's history. If plate or bar OF
mild steel lasts for a year in service
it may be trusted to last for many
years. The most injurious thing is
continual bending backward and for
ward, as in what is called the pant
ing" of a boiler end. AS one author
ity puts it. steel has somewhat ''tu-
multuous youth" but "in middle age
it is trustworthy and in old age be-
yond reproach." In regard to corro-
sion there is difference Of opinion,
some holding that steel corrodes more
readily than iron.

WALKING.
~DWIN 4. NYH.

WALKING.
! have Just read two human docu-
ments Of value.
One is by Frederic Harrison, the au-
thor, aged eighty-one, and the other by
Lord Strathmore, ninety-two years Of
age.
These young old men, both active and
hearty, give some golden rules con-
corning health, and both lay especial
emphasis on the benefits Of walking as
an exercise.
Harrison says every one should walk
ut the least two hours each day.
Why walk?
Well, in the first place, walking raises
the temperature of the body. 1t is like
putting fuel in the furnace and open
ing the draft. There's something doing
inside. Waste is being carried off.
You breathe deeply.
And that is important. Most persons
use only half their lungs, ordinarily,
for breathing purposes. Deep breathing
puts large quantities of oxygen into the
blood. Muscle and nerve get their vi
tally from the blood. Besides. in deep
breathing waste is carried off by ex-
halation.
And there's the skin.
Millions of pores are opened up by
the perspiration. and waste material
Is eliminated.
And digestion:
Walking helps that important func-
ton. The exercise puts an edge on ap-
petite. And good digestion waits on
appetite.
Moreover
Here is an important item seldom
considered, but of great Importance:
The doctors will tell you about the dia-
phragm. The diaphragm is a sort of
movable stage floor between the chest
and the abdomen. 1t ia raised or low
cred by the contraction and swelling of
the lungs.
Now:
When the lungs are deeply filed by
walking the diaphragm goes down and
presses upon the liver and stomach and
spleen. 1t is like a massage of these
organs and keeps them in good order
The best way to stir up your liver is
to stir your legs.
And. moreover
Nothing is here said of the mental
benefits Of walking. the EXPLANATION of
The open air, the joy Of we'll fabricated
movement.
Habituate your legs.
