What Would Be Best?

Some days ago we heard of a
farmer who with others were dis
cussing the bright prospects for a
humber crop of corn, and when one
of the company made the remark
that this years crop would be the
biggest yet if conditions continued
favorable from now on, this fellow
remarked, Yes, but it will only be
worth 40 cents" Wonder if it
wouldd't be better to have corn to
sell at 90 cents than have to buy
it for feed at rs cents as has been
the case the past year. Savannah

NEW TENNIS COURTS
AT kAPl0LANl PARK
NOW OPEN TO PUBLIC

Bertram G. Risenburgh. superintend-
ent of Kapiolani Park, announced yes
terday afternoon that the new tennis
courts which have been under con.
struction at the park for the past sew
eraI weeks, now are completed and are
open to the public.
Persons desiring to use the courts,
says the superintendent, must observe
certain rules which, however, are not
stringent. The players must furnish
their own racquets and balls and,
whts1 on the courts, will be required
to wear tennis or other rubber-soled
shoes. Two persons may not play
more than an hour at any one time.
Owing to the expected heavy demand
for the courts, it is thought that this
time limit may have to be reduced to
half an hour.

GOLF-THEN AND NOW
NOW.

NOW. D.. .--. 49,
Today golf. beginning as a society
fad in the United States, has become
a pastime at which a vast fortune, es-
timated as high as s5O.O00.O0O, is spent
every year in the United States. There
are said to be more than 100000 act
i've players who are driving the gutta
percha balls over links whose combined
acreage in the United States is nearly
twice as large as the District OF Co
lumbia. Some Of the American club
houses are yeritable mansions; one In
the middle west has cost to date over
$750,000 for the golfing course, the
club house and the equipment The
exact amount Of money reaped annu-
ally by the American caddies is not
definitely known, but it probably
equals the amount paid in Great Brit
ain, which is estimated at $12,500,-
600. Other items. that go to make up
the annual tribute to golf are clubs
and balls. The value Of the clubs in
use is estimated at nearly $1,000.000
while the balls are valued at over S..
100000. Golf has spread throughout
the world. In Europe there is scarce
" a country without it's golf links and
players Japan has one Of the finest
courses in the world. Mexico Is rap
idly becoming known for its links.
While all classes have taken to the
sport with enthusiasm, kings and
queens. not to mention the lesser
lights of royalty and the nobility, are
ardent devotees. King Alfonso has
his private links in Spain and has
taught his English-born queen to play
the game. The German emperor, pro-
hibited by physical ailment from par
ticipating in the sport, nevertheless is
an enthusiast and frequently follows
his son, the crown prince, about the
links at Potsdam. President Wilson,
and his predecessor, Mr.. Taft, are de-
voted to the game.

WHITE-RITCH|E J.
Go WOULD BE A
TOP NOTCH Gard

Charley White made himself bet
ter card as an opponent for Willie
Richie in San FRANCISCO by the more
or less indifferent manner in which
tile~-whfpped doe Akevedo than he
would have been had he knocked the
Sacramentan cold That's rather
odd thing to say, We know, but such
nevertheless is the case. ss =. +.
Here is the explanation. Had White
stopped Azevedo with well-placed
wallop on the chin, Wei say in ten or
twelve rounds, the idea would have
been created that the Chicagoan was
so good fighter that a return match
with Richie would merely mean a
REPETITION of the beating that the Chica-
goan is alleged to have given the for
mer champion in Milwaukee.
Didn't Have WaIlop.
But the failure Of White to land a
decisive wallop has started the Anvil
Chorus to work.
''How did that fellow whip Richie
If he can fight no better than he did
with Azevedo?" Is being asked.
And invariably there is q shaking
of heads and a struggling of shoulders
in response. There is an inclination
now to credit the statement of Ritchie
that his poor showing with White was
due to q blow he received in the first
round and which almost blinded him.
Two indictments have been found
against White at the bar of public
opinion.
The first and more serious one is
that he showed no real knockout
punch. -.
The second is that he is not suffi-
GENTLY aggressive. The charge is
made that though White was boxing
a boy whom he had already whipped,
and who possessed 20 more than one
quarter his experience in the prize
ring, he was backward about going
after him-that he invariably allowed
Azevedo to lead in order that he might
counter.
Should be Aggressive. ....>
Now, here's the idea as to the sec
ond Indictment. A challenger LAS
every right to force the other fellow
to lead He is the under dog" and
as such might be expected to avail
himself of every little trick that will
help him in sticking the limit g.
But worlds champion, such as
| White claims to be, is expected to
be aggressive. II the other fellow is
backward or declines to bring the
fight to him, he should go out and
get" his man. r. g.. -.
White, of course, offers excuses for
his delinquencies. He explains his
failure to go after Azeyedo in the first
half of the fight with the statement
that he knew the Sacramentan to be
strong fellow and he did not care
to tussle about with him and thus tire
himself out for the finish. ri
As to that he may have been right.
But If he should undertake to argue
the point with every man who thinks
he should have gone after Azevedo
!, from the jump he will have busy
time.
As to his failure to land knock
out, he explains that he hurt his right
hand in the second round. And yet
every man about the ring, Utmost
700e of them, saw him using his right
toward the end OF the contest as free
ly as he did his left hand.
Should Meet Again. ~--:.. -.

 Mothers Who Care
Seasonable Advice on the Health
 of Children in Hot Weather.

It is we'll that mothers be advised not to over-feed the children during the hot months. No one requires as much food in summer as in winter. Feed the children the lighter and more easily digested foods. See that the milk is cool and kept away from flies. Be careful that the fruit is ripe, and If the child begins to scratch the skin, indicating too much acid in the blood. deprive 1t of fruit for several days.
 It is quite natural that under these conditions there will be some diges- tive disturbance, such as constipation indigestion or summer diarrhoea. It may be accompanied by a cold or by eruptions of the skin. The timely remedy, and one which you can rely on for results, is a small dose of pr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin on retiring, and by morning the bowels will move and the trouble will vanish. The ex- ceptional tonic ingredients in this remedy will tone the stomach and en- rich the blood, and the child will feel its usual self again.
