ing live oak in its stead. There are
managers and managers, but Herzog
is the ultra modern manager of them
all, adopting the best ideas of Chance,
of McGraw and of others, and on top
of them he is placing his own ideas,
and he is full of them.
If Herzog's nerves can stand the
strain of the continual hammering
that he must endure, can withstand
the efforts of certain elements that
have for years moled under all Red
managers, in other words if the direc-
tors will let him, he will give Cincin-
natl first-division baseball club this
season-and a pennant contender
next.
He has a team which today is at
least three weeks in advance of any
other in training that have seen. He
has found a lot of promising material,
and found it himself-men of his own
type and men who will play baseball
his way.
Herzog has made the old men work
and he is keeping them working. The
old timers accustomed to loafng, to
carelessness, and to playing only to
draw their salaries and find an alibi,
are out there working and wondering.
They are working faithfully, too. Her
zog has them alarmed
Herzog has theories concerning
what a ballplayer should be. He
wants clean men and intelligent men.
He has found one young star who,
with the possible exception of Collins
of the Braves, is the most brilliant
find of the year. That fellow is Won
Kolnitz
The type of player he is assembling
shows what he wants. He wants to
rid Cincinnati of the old loafng,
booze fighting, sporting player and
get in decent, hustling, ambitious
men.

CREDITORS DOUBT EPNER YARN

New York, March 17.-Doubting 4.
$4,000 robbery story told in Chicago
by Daniel Epner, and believing that
it was a subterfuge to cover up BUSH
ness losses, creditors of S. .Epner,
a diamond dealer, threw him into
bankruptcy in U. S. court here. .Ep-
ner, who claimed to have been rob-
bed of the gems on Blue Island car
in Chicago last Friday, was sales
man for S. Epner here.
Chicago police who worked on the
story told by Epner are of the opin-
ion that Epner's creditors are right,
at least, in their doubt that the rob-
berry occurred.
Epner was found last Friday at
Milwaukee and Grand avenues. He
said that two men had followed him
on the street car from 18th and Hal
sted streets, thrown red pepper in his
eyes. and then had grabbed the jewel
cases.

The stomach and bowels are lined
with a mucous membrane. They are
therefore subject to catarrh. the same
as the nose and throat. Catarrh of
the stomach and bowels will derange
the functions OF these organs. The
stomach can no longer digest food.
The food lying in the stomach. even

Immediately sours. The souring pro-
duces gas and irritation.
Food Sours In the Stomach
A portion of the undigested meal Is
absorbed into the system by the blood
vessels Of the stomach. This poisons
the whole system. producing a condi-
tion now known as autointoxication:
self poisoning. The fermenting, irri-
tating mass, as Ii passes down into
the bowels irritates the bowels. pro-
ducins sometimes a chronic diarrhea,
sometimes producing the very oppo-
I
site. constipation.
The average dyspepsia medicine
helps to artifcially digest the food.
Even when such medicine does its
work II Is only temporary. A perma-
ment relief can only be expected when
the catarrh Is overcome.
Symptoms Of catarrh Of the Stomach.
The symptoms of catarrh of the
stomach are: First. heartburn. Sec

and carries a bursting charge of no
less than s9o pounds. The range is
1900 yards, and the explosive in
the head is known as trinitro

Warning Against Dan yerous Presery.

Used By the House Vile.

tSSu Dt tHs uuuSS WNC.
Washington, ID. C.. May Ia
The attention of the Department OF
Agriculture has recently been called
u the widespread use, especially in
rural communities, of salicylic atId
in putting up preserves. The head
of large drug and chemical supply
house states that people living in
Southwes: Virginia, North and South
Carolina, Kentucky, Tennessee,
and Western Georgia, have been
purchasing salicylic acid 10 = lb.
packages for a number of years and
that this practice has grown to an
enormous ex,ent. This dealer
states further that only few weeks
wholesale grocer for fifty gross of
these good.
The department is aware that
this practice is nt confined to
sa!icylic acid under its own name
alone, but that large quantities Of
this acid, and boric acid as well,
are sold under fauci.ul names as
preserving poa ders or canning
compounds at pnces which are
much in excess of their re- Al value.
In the directions fer use, The
house wife Is told to fill the jar with
the fruit or vegetables, cover with
wafer AID add a ,easpoonful of the
powder. II is true that these pow
ders may prevent the decay of fruit
or vegetables, but they also en-

aud their excessive use may be at

upon the health. Salicvlic acid Is

tain other diseases. Ii Is vel
known as a poisonous substance
and one Of the evils which may ac
company its use is de angement o.
the digestion. 1t is therefore plair
that its extensive use in food ma,

bonnet is shaped by reeds u through

this exhibition. The coat is cut on
easy lines with wide border Of fur at
the bottom extended into points on
the seams. An ample turnover collar
provides comfort about the neck. cut
to fit close about the throat when the

piece as warm and luxurious as any

The immense cuffs of fur with
which the plain sleeves are finished
are so unusual in size and shape that
they are easily the most striking item
in the makeup of the garment. They
form a fairly large muff in which the
hands might be encased, but manage
to be not too large as cuffs at the

The coat is made Of velvet lined
with satin. 1t is a refined and ex-
quisite model which might be copied

rich than velvet, without losing its
elegance.

tied several gowns embodying the

left no doubt in the mind as to the
ability of the several designers.

Why Indians Are Red.

A German doctor has evolved q
queer theory about the coloring Of the
human race--that the tint Of the skin
is determined by the food eaten.
Originally. he declares. the human
species was black, because our print.
tive forefathers subsisted on fruits and
roots containing manganese. The
American redskins owe their color to
the consumption Of raw flesh. The
Mongols are yellow because Of their
descent from ! tribe which consumed
great quantities Of herbs rich in
chloride. and the Caucasians have to
thank the salt, for which they have SO
great a liking, for their dainty pink and
white or delicate brunette complex.

never experienced the feeling of being
under the rule of an emperor, king or
president. They are independent. gov.

exhaust.
