NO GREAT NEED FOR WORRY
London Magazine of High Repute
Points Out Weakness In Talk of
Human Decadence.

Most of the talk at conferences Of
doctors, sanitary experts" eugenic
enthusiasts, lunacy specialists and
others is wildly and obviously fabu-
lous, though rich in apparently I'M
Improbable figures. All these ap-
palling percentages as to the "physi-
cally detective" the morally ire
sponsible," the "feeble-minded"
what do they mean?
One must first have some definition
of physical defect, moral dightiness,
weakness of intellect, asserts the Lon
don Saturday Review. Almost every
great man one can think Of would be
condemned by some congress or other.
Johnson, Byron, Pope. Napoleon.
Caesar, Luxembourg. Give, Pitt, Peter
the Great-the list could be prolonged
Acknowledgements all defective In
some way. Few men or women go
through life without a sharp con-
seriousness of bodily imperfection.
They are either very happy or very
stupid who are perfectly satisfied with
tu6 QudllIy VI tHciI wis, anu INC
human being who has never felt him
self a sorry caitiff must assuredly be
one. OF course, figures come to the
aid Of the optimist just as efficiently
as they subserve the purpose of
settled gloom. Every one is familiar
with the formula: 'The statistics
might seem at first sight to provide
food for reflections Of a disquieting
character, but when it is remembered
that before 1902 it was not incum-
bent on practitioners to notify" etc.
In short, it is just as easy to prove
steady advance In physique, intel
lect and character as it is to satisfy
the nation that it is chiefly made up
of puny and vicious imbeciles.

class. They may be called con-
tact remedies
Apple trees are also attacked
by fungi: These are a low or
der of plants without chlorophyll
(green coloring :natter) and SC
cannot manufacture their own
food and as a consequence must
get their food from organic mat
ter in the soil, or from living
plants. Such plants instead OF
producing seeds produce spores.
These are distributed by the wind
and other agencies, and when
they light OH favorable place
they terminate and send out
little thread like branches known
as hyphae, which correspond to
roots stems and leaves of seed
plants. These hyphae when they
become thick and tangled are
known as mycelium.
There are two classes of para
site fungi: External-where
the mycelium grows entirely on
the surface of the fruit or leaves,
as powdery mildew OF grapes,
apple scab and grain rusts.
Internal--where the fungus
enters the skin and produces
within the tissues. as some Of
the grain smuts, dry rot of po-
tatoes and canker of apples. The
spores which are carried by the
wind, insects, birds and various
other agencies, get into wounds
and cause disease. Such dis
eases are preventable and not
durable. The remedy lies in
spraying the leaves and fruit
with some fungicide, which pre-
vents the spores from getting a
foothold. Lime-sulphur and
Bordeaux mixture are the two
best known fungicides and are
effective in controlling fungeus
diseases.

and each year has seen an increase
of both inha bitants and wealth.

FEDERALS FIRE THE FIRST LEGAL VOLLEY

GRAND RAPIDS. Mich. March 2l- The first legal shot of the baseball war of 1914 was fired here today cy the Federal league in filing a petition with the Unf.ed States district court for the Western District O. Michigan, asking for an injunction to restrain William !. Killifer, Jr., formerly the catcher of the Philadelphia Nationals from playing baseball with any club other than the Chicago Teierals. Killi- fer signed a three year contract Ylth the Chicago Fedsrals, but afterward was persuaded that the reserve clause in his old contract with the Philadei- phia club held him legally 70 Phil adelphia and joined his former team. The suit involves the legality of the reserve clause bong regarded as one of the bulwarks Of organized baseball. The suit was brought in the Western Michigan district because Killifer is resident of Paw Paw. Michigan.
 After reci.ing the organization of the Chicago Federal league baseball club for the purpose of maintaining a baseball club. the bill declared, that 1t was necessary to engage the ser vices of baseball players of unique and extraordinary skill and expert ness. among whom was the defend. ant" Bill Killifer.
 The complain. which was signed by Chas. Weeghman, president of the Chicago Federal League baseball club, told of the signing of the contract by Killifer in which he agreed to play for three years for the Chicago Fed. erals for total of Sl7,J00, or S5.- S33.33 a year. The contract, d copy of which was attached to the petition for an enjoining order expressly stip- ulated, the court was informed. that Kilifer agreed to devote his entire time and energy to the service of the Chicago Federals.
