FOR HOW LONG

Prescott Raises A Pertinent Question. When a neighbor tells us that he has recovered from a serious illness, the first question that naturally arises is, How long will he keep we'll? Tenn porary relief is one thing, but lasting cure is altogether different There is nothing temporary about the work of Deans Kidney Pills as the following evidence proves beyond bouqt.

Say, do you know the kind of fellow who's just to the worlds mind? The kind the world can't lose? The kind that folks en- thuse over and take off their hats to? Why it's the man-who- does. He's the fellow! Not the fellow whose grandpa got there; not the fellow who would if he could not the gentleman who's going to some day; but the man-who-does, now, today. No sitting around waiting, about him; no expect ing something to happen; no looking for something to turn up. No sir! He calls the turn and turns lem; he takes off his coat and doesn't care if he starts a a little sweat: he doesn't peed a big, brass-buttoned copper to tell him to move on; he keeps the procession humping to keep up with him; he is hustle from his feet up and from his head down; he is not only in the push, but he is the push = the whole thing; and say, the way he makes things come and business hum is a cau- tion: the way the world takes that fellow up and is good to him makes your heart glad; he's all right. he is; he greases the wheels of progress and keeps the world spinning round.

APRIL THE FIGHTING MONTH
 FOR UNCLE SAM

U iliICh oLdItS. Aptil Al, AiaS conspicuous place. Today the United States began operations against General Huerta, the die tator at the Mexican capital. April 21, 1898, war was declared i between United States and Spain; April 21, 1886, General Sam Illus ton and a force of 800 Texans fought, defeated and captured Santa Ana, Mexican general, and won Texas independence from Mexico; April 21, 1881, the Black Hawk Indian war was begun. April has been a month which stands out most prominent in ot- her warfares of this country. The American Revolution was be- gun April 19, 1765, and on April 2, 1846, the war between Mexic and the United States began.
 Going back to the first of the several wars beginning in April, the American Revolution stands out most prominent, for it mark. ed the beginning of the develop ment in the New World. Dur ing the American Revolution, there were 309, ,78l American sol diers in the field. April II, 1783 the war was brought to a close
 The Black Hawk Indian war. beginning April 21, 1881, was fought until peace was establish, ed on September 30, 1882. The United States troops employed in the Indian war numbered 6, 465 Though this number comparative ly was small, the loss of life, es- pecially to the Indian forces. was heavy.
 Texas, striking for independ- ence from the Mexican govern ment, had been fighting bloody battles for months, and had suf- fered defeats and won victories, without finally getting a decisive victory until April 21, 1885. Santa Ana, the Mexican general, at the head of $500 Mexican troops, the cream of the Mexican army, met General Sam Huston, commanding 800 Texas rangers at San Jacinto, near where the city of Houston, Texas, now stands. The battle, which gave Texas her freedom. was waged through the day. ending with the capture of General Santa Ana by Generrl Houston. The gal lant band of 800 Texas fighters led by their heroic and beloved general. killed 630 Mexicans, wounded POS and made 730, in- cluding Santa Ana and many of his officers prisoners.
 The number of prisoners was larger than the Texas force, be, cause of death and injuries in the Texas ranks. It is notable that there were only POS Mexlcans wounded, and 630 killed; it was a fight to death. Bowie knives, in close fighting, inflicted havoc in the Mexican ranks.
 April 24, l840, the war between Mexico and United States began. It ended July 4, 1848, and United States had total of ll2, 230 men in the field.
 Then came the short but bitter fight between United States and Spain, which was begun l6 years ago today, April 21. 1868. The United States had 274. TIT men in service for the contest, though only 60, 900 were actually engag- ed.
 The activities against Huerta beginning today. may end in a few weeks and may continue for months. Only a comparatively small force of men as now inAhe 1 zone where fighting is apt to oc- cur. though powerful navy will ! be on hand to assist in the fight ing.

BOXING NOTES

Ade eWoIgast proposes to have a busy season, providing his arm holds out. Ad has had much trouble with his hands and arm and has, lost many hundreds of dollars as a result, but he thinks now that he is in for a good season and wants to meet the best lightweights the market affords. He is anxious to tackle Charlie White, Freddy Welsh and Willie Ritehie, his three greatest rivals, but first he will meet Joe Mandot before the Mil waukee club, Sept. 18th. Joe and Ad met before in a ten-round contest at New Orleans, in 1912, no decision. Nandot was at Jfis best then and gave Ad a splendid battle. Should Joe happen to hand it to the Michi- gan bearcat it would stop a lot ot Ads plans for the season and natur- ally boost the F'renchman's game.

THE SNOW BABY

 Now drawing their semi monthly stfuend from the Boston National League club are nine players who have at some time during their ca reer. the majority of them within me last two years, battled in the Interna- tional League
 Here they are: Catcher Hank Gowdy. Catcher and Chief Coach Fred Mitchell. Outf1elder Leslie Mann, Outflelder Joe Connolly, iOuthelder Josh Devore, Third Basenan Charley Deal, First Baseman Charley Schmide, Pitcher Dick Rudolph and outneloer Herb Moran, the newcomer.
 The three first named have been Bisons, Devore, Gowdy and Rudolph. who played such a prominent part Tn the recent series with the Giants. are ! New York National discards- It cer- tainly must have been a bitter pill for John McGraw to watch that trio he formerly had under his wing play big role in the defeat of the Giants Deyore has been shunted about the I National League until STaI1ngS areacn- ed out and grabbed him.
 Charley Deal was with Providence part of the season of 1912. He was sent there from Detroit
 Charley Schrndde was originally Q pitcher with Baltimore, and because of his size and great batting ability Dunn decided to try him out at first base and he has been playing that position ever since He was with Rochester last year.
 .-Hank" Gowdy is one player who will long be remembered by Buffa- To fans Big, and always good na- -t1red. Henry played a wonderful game as member of the Bisons last year.
 Then there is Catcher Fred Mitch ell, whom Stallings took from Buff fado. Like Charley Schmide, Fred was also a pitcher, and when he took on weight so fast that he Scouldns t rid himself of it he donned the mask and pad. Rochester got him from the Htgh1anders and he went to Buff falo.
 And now about Dick Rudolph, the 7 little hurler who grew so sore against Toronto that he threatened to jump 3 to the Federals if Joe Kelley didn't release him. I StaIlings heard of it, and made an offer that was accepted. Dick was a. whirIwind in the Interna- tional League.
 To begin with Joe Connolly was with Montreal in 1912, part of which season he was forced to sit on the bench He later got in the game and stuck Washington took him over but Griffith thought he wasn't good enough and sold Toe to Boston.
 Leslie Mann was a Bison for a part of the season of 1913, but was sold to StaIlings before Buffalo had . chance to look the player over. H. did play in the exehibition game thu Herd trimmed the Braves

YOUNG JOE sHUGRUE, 20
 TO-DAY, A PROMISING
 LIGHTWEIGHT CONTENDER

Young Joe Shugrue, the Jersey City
 lightweight who has lately been per forming in Australia, is one of the most promising of the American con-
 tenders for the crown which now dec
 crates the dome of Freddie Welsh.
 Joe suffered his first serious reverse
 in his sensational upward climb when ne was outpointed by Young Saylor, the Indianapolis lightweight, in twenty-rot1nd bout at Snowy Bakers
 stadium at Sydney last month. Ac' lccrding to all reports il was a sizzling butt, with Saylor having the Shade. Saylor, Kentuckian by birth and F1oOsier by adoption, has the a1van- tage in experience as he is twenty l five, while Shugrue will pass his 20th milestone today Joe was born in Jersey City on Sept. H. 1894, Of Irish parents. He is five feet Six in height, and until recently travelled .n the featherw eight division. He is ;l speedy and aggressive Hibsrnian, with g. od punch in either paw and plenty of ring skill. He started his
 boxing career in 1910, and in the next
 three years he met and held his own with many of the, best of the nttte l llds, including Johnnie Dundee, Char 1 lie White. Louis De Ponthied and
 many others

 surprise of thefGotham fans, he held fLeach to a draw, although the He
 brew had an advantage in weight over 1 the aggressive Irishrnan. Shugrue then fought Johnny Lore, and nearly put him out. and put a crimp in the | championship aspirations of Sam 1 Robideau. Shugrue,s first defeat was
 at the hands of AIatty Baldwin, who l outpointed him in a fifteen-round
 scrap in New Haven. Joe then went
 West and fought a draw with Dick I Hyland in Denver. He celebrated
 New Year, 1914. at Troy by outpoint- ing Willie Beecher, and a little Iater Idefeated Owen Moran in New York, making the English veteran quit in I seven rounds. Last Spring Joe fol- | lowed the exodus to Australia. and
 in his first bout he. knocked out Herb Mccoy, the Australian lightweight champion Joe struck a snag when he tackled Kid Lewis, the clever English feath erweight, and lost the decision on points. He was then matched with Saylor, and the Hoosier also had the best of it, although not by any wide margin.

Look Yourself In the Face.

The reaper of death sweeping over
Europe brings to our mind thought
worth more than casual consideration.
Let us look ourselves in the face,
and think-think for the benefit of
humanity, for the veal of posterity.
In all parts of the country schools
are opening for the fall and winter
terms, and much of the future will
depend upon the training Of the youth
Of today.
Never in our history was there a
time when it was more imperative
that hasty passions and vindictive
temperaments be curbed and eradi-
Gated.
Never was there time when the in
culcation of brotherly love and con-
sideration for others was more ur-
gently required.
The youth of today will be the men
of tomorrow, and as we train them
now so will they be then.
The burden rests heavily upon us.
We expect the teacher in the school
to transform our child into man of
learning and honor and integrity, but
do we stop to consider that more de-
ponds upon the parent than upon the
educator?
The one cannot succeed without the
cooperation of the other, but the two
working earnestly and Jointly will ac-
complish wonderful results.
We should think before speaking
Harsh words and family jars in the
presence of Il child gives it's first les
son in unruliness and puts SHARP
edge to an awakening temper. 1t is
