TENNIS is STRENUOUS GAME
puts 5iouer Strain on the Players
Than Football, Says Wrenn, VINO
Has Played Both Games.

There was once United States ten
mis- champion named Robert D. Wrenn.
Wrenn was also at one time famous
football player, in the days when there
were 35-minute halves to that game.
And in speaking Of the two, Wrenn
said:
There is no comparison in the
strain the two games put upon the
body. 1t is much easier to go through
two 35-minute halves Of football than
to play a fiye-set championship match
of tennis.
ITO be sure, the game can be played
in lazy, lackadaisical manner. But
it isn't really tennis.
MANY young players begin too
strenuously. The first spring day on
the courts calls invitingly for good,
long afternoons sport. Result-get-
ting overtired.
Now the overtired boy goes right
at the game the second day. He won't
rest. He won't give his torndown tbs
sues a chance. Result, poor game OF
tennis, not only then, but for weeks az
terward!
"The right way to play tennis Is tc
start in easily. Don't play more than
two sets of singles and one Of doubles

USE FOOTBALL IN BASEBALL
New Winter Game Invented by Penn.
sylvania Professor Pas Unique
Features-AccIdents Few.

Baseball may soon be an all-year-
round sport, for you can now play it
with football. The new friend OF
the magnate and the professional
players nemesis is Professor Bensco-
ter Of the Wilkesbarre high school.
AS inventor of the new game, he ex-
plains it as follows:
"A baseball can not be easily held
by players in cold weather, hence the
need of a game with the larger, clum-
sier football It is played on baseball
diamond. with the same number OF
players on q side, the most notable
difference being that there is no pitch
er; this player occupies the position
of another shortstop-'right shortstop'
between first and second.
"The ball is put into play by being
kicked from home plate and the rum
ner hikes for first, as in baseball, and
is put out by the passing of the ball
to first ahead OF him, as in baseball
or being touched by it in the hands OF
a player.
THE runner may not advance from
a base when the ball has been passed
to the baseman who touches the base
while the runner is there; this debars
the runner from advancing from the
base until it has been again kicked
out. It likewise debars any runner
back Of him. The kick may be OF
any sort-place, punt or drop kick.
nv ! -. ,,-ewsFo 1ooIarpd ont If he
advances from the base before the
BAH is kicked out If the ball is kicked
foul or the kicker is out; he is also
out if he fails in an attempt to kick.
THE game is very lively, being full
Of constant kicking, running, catching
and passing. 1t develops strength
speed, accuracy, skill and with less
liability to accidents even than IN
baseball on account Of the freedom
from the chance of being injured by
a pitched or batted ball"

Four rooms, with the front and
back stairs on the ground floor, and
four rooms, with good. comfortable
bathroom, on the second floor. briefly
describes the house-plan here shown.
The house is "a feet inches wide and
A feet long, without measuring the
porch. and can be built, under favor
able conditions of the market for ma
terial and labor, for about $2,750. A
distinctive feature is the front hall
with its pretty, open, winding stair
way with a closet underneath for
hats and coats, and three doorways
which give access to three different
rooms-an unusual feature in house
construction. OF course, there are
many long, winding halls that reach
away back and communicate every
where, but they are not economical
of room. In this case the hall occu-
pies very little space; but the con-
venience and artistic effect are much
greater than in most halls, although
others may be much more pretentious.
1t is great thing, in building, to utilize
space to the best advantage. Measure
ments are arbitrary. In given
ground space, the fact must be rec
ognized that the enlargement of one
room means that the next one must
be smaller. This hall is large enough
for all practical purposes, and it
leaves plenty Of room for the parlor,
dining room and sitting room.
The parlor is the smallest of the
three, and rightly so. Parlors are fast
going out of date. Their principal use
has been for weddings and funerals,
and the way some of them are fur
nished leaves a funeral flavor all the
time. The conventional parlor is the
house. The children must be exclud-
ed, and the men folks are afraid Of
disarranging the chair tides or get
ting a chair an inch or two out Of its
proper place. The chairs usually are
stiff-backed and uncomfortable, and
too nice for chair, as their principal
occupation is looking prim and unin-

hall. parlor and sitting room almost
like one big room
Another interesting feature of this
plan is the side entrance to the sit
ting room. This is the most sociable
room in the house. Taken in connec-
tion with the dining room, 1t offers
a very comfortable proposition, the
doors and windows being carefully
placed for light and ventilation; and
the proportions are such that the
furniture is easily arranged to look
right.
There Is also back entrance TO
the sitting room, opening onto the
back porch. This back porch, com
municating with the main part OF the
house, is almost part Of the sitting
room in summer time. A small table
OF books and a sewing machine are
often found In just such places during
the warm months. It is much better
to read or sew In the open air, when
conditions are favorable. II the sloe

Too Enthusiastic.

Congressman James P. Maher of
New York told one which demon
strates that a man can be altogether
too enthusiastic in following his pro-
fession. Some time ago, so relates
the congressman, two men met in
New York town, and after the cordial
clutch, began to inquire after each 9TH
er's family. BY the way" said one
of the pair, show is your son making
out, the one who went to Texas 2"

sigh. AS matter of fact, they have

surprised voice. you don't really
mean it, What in the world was the
trouble?" "It was this way" explained
the second. ''He studied law and got

quick growth for screens, but they
are not well calculated for the front
of the house. Vines that climb to the
roof, leaving stalks bare and bunch
of foliage at the top, should be avoid
ed on the front porch. This is pc
culiarity of the Virginia creeper, but
it may be corrected by proper prun-
ing.
In selecting a house-plan, the direc-
ton in which the house faces must
be taken into consideration. Any
frontage is good if the house is built
to suit. 1t is just as easy to select
a plan with the kitchen on one side
as to have it directly in the back.
The difference in comfort, extending
over a number Of years. will well re-
pay little careful consideration on
this point. There are great many
things to consider, and this is one
of the most important, but one that
often is overlooked BY all means

Wonderful Woodcraft.

During some army maneuvers two
officers of the Royal artillery were dis
putting about the classification of a
tree. One said it was a birch tree
and the other an oak tree. They could
not agree, so they. called a gunner who
was sitting nearby and asked him Il
he could tell them what kind of tree
it was.
The gunner looked up and down
the tree, walked all around it, drew
his sword and began cutting it. The
officers asked him what he meant By
his behavior, when he loked- up al
them and answered:
Il am trying to discover what kind
of tree it is"

because the leaves are large and

GRANDMA USED SAGE TEA
TO DARKEN HER GRAY HAIR
She Made Up a Mixture of Sage Tea
and Sulphur to Bring Back Color,
Gloss, Thickness.

Almost everyone knows that Sage
Tea and Sulphur, properly compound
ed, brings back the natural color and
lustre to the hair when faded, streaked
or gray; also ends dandruff, itching
scalp and stops falling hair. Years
ago the only way to get this mixture
was to make it at home, which is
mussy and troublesome. Nowadays.
by asking at any store for "Wyeth's
Sage and Sulphur Hair Remedy" you
will get a large bottle of this famous
old recipe for about so cents.
Don't stay gray! Try it! No one
can possibly tell that you darkened
your hair, as 1t does it 30 naturally
and evenly. You dampen sponge or
soft brush with it and draw this
through your hair, taking one small
strand at time; by morning the gray
hair disappears, and after another ap-

VALUE OF PURE
POULTRY BREEDING
FORREST COUNTY FARMER SELLS
EIGHTEEN BARRED ROCK
PULLETS FOR $500.

The American hen has long been
recognized as one of the most vital
factors in the economics of everyday
life, and this fact has brought the
poultry business up to one of great
dignity and Importance.
In Forrest county there is noted a
constant growth of the poultry raising
business that brings out clearly the
value of pure breeding where the best
results are obtained. These facts sug-
gested reflectively, are mentioned as
a result of poultry sale this morning
decidedly out of the ordinary, when W.
S. Stapleton, farmer living four
miles from town and who every, year
realizes several hundred dollars on
his poultry, sold to a professional man
in the city a coop containing eighteen
young pullets of the barred rock va
riety which were all so true, to. type
that even trained eye would find
trouble in telling one fowl from the
other. Especial interest attaches to
this transaction when it is stated, as
was the case, that the eighteen chick
ems brought the farmer SIS.
