Seeking 70 bring to the homes OF
the desolate and the poverty stricken
a little Of the cheer and brightness that
should surround everybody's Christmas
time, the members and officials of the
Society for the Prevention Of Cruelty
70 Children have issued an appeal to the
charitably inclined people OF Whining
ton asking for their support and help
in carrying on their usual Christmas
work.
The Society for the Prevention OF

a vast amount OF good in former years,
and while it works hard and does an
infinite amount of good all the year
round, it makes a speciality of helping
the poor every Christmas time.
A great deal OF the success of the
society's work is due to the efforts OF
its special agent, Frank Stout, who
probably knows the poor better than
any other resident of the city.

Protest Against the Interpretation OF

Sir: II beg a little space to notice

tained7

the druggists formulated the law. ana
the relations between physicians ana
druggists owing to the changes in the
times. are not. in many instances. as
mutually helpful and as cordial as
formerly. An analysis OF the prohi-
pltlon law shows that at least in
three instances. the law is made in
the direct interest OF the druggist.

II would by the way. seem an eIey-
enth hour repentance TO wish that
the prohibition amendment would be
declared unconstitutional. for the
people have been deceived. and the
state will be thrown into much con-
fusion upon the attempt TO enforce
the amendment.

still sore, but the Harp is game, and
will not give up unless he is hurt
again.
HargroVe and Needham can both
go behind the bat in pinch. Tom
is too slow and HargroVe is mex
perienced, but could learn the game
under fire.
Despite his bum thumb Bresnahan
was a factor in the Cub victory
against Brooklyn. One speeder tried
to steal, having heard that Roger
was not in shape. But perfect

the long expected shift in the infield,
Heating replacing CorTiden. Red and

Heating played good ball.. He had
but two fielding chances, both of
which were accepted. In batting he
soaked one slashing triple with none
out, but failed to score.
Heating had knocked his triple off
Rucker, a left-hander. In the ninth
he was facing Reulbach, a right
handler. That probably influenced
O'Day to use left-handed batsman.
AS it turned out the move brought no
results. Williams hit to second base
and man was tossed out at the plate
on the blow.
Williams, the way he is going this
year, can not pinch hit for any man
on the team with the prospect of i'm
proving on the work of the regular.
The pitchers have his number, and
put the ball where he can do nothing
with
