Johnny Verbout to Join
the New York Giants

NEW YORK, September I4.-In
an effort to strengthen his un-
steady pitching staff John J. Me-
GraN has just purchased Johnny
yerbOut, the star rlght-handed
twirler Of the Jersey City skeet-
ers. VerbOut will report to Me-
Graw Wednesday.
The newcomer is rated as one
of the. best pitchers In thu. Bar
row circuit, hut his work during
the last couple of weeks has been
far below his standard. This, mo-
doubt, Is due to the fact that the
Jersey City team is badly on for
pitchers. and yerbOut has been
much Ovcrw0rlcd. With proper
handling, however, he may de-
develop into = winner for Nc

the Nationals will visit all the cities in
the west

If the pennant fight between the Giants
and Braves continues to be as close as
at present until the end of this month,
all attendance records in the history of
base bail are apt to be broken on the
Polo grounds Beginning September 80.
the Braves have five games in four days
to play with the Giants in New York.
If the race at that time is such that the
pennant is still in doubt these games will
draw capacity crowds every day
Willie Mitchell. the Maps southpaw
twirler, is showing by far the best form
of his career this fall. Mitchell is seldom
scored ~ by opposing teams and he is
winning his games with regularity.
If the national commission makes good
its reported intention to have the wor d S
series open October 10, the contesting
teams will have plenty of time to prepare
themselves for the series, for both major
league campaigns close October Z, and
that will be three days before the series
opens. This should give both teams an
equal chance SO far as condition is con-
cerned. The team which may be forced
to go at top speed to land its pennant at
the finish, will be able to get the needed
rest before going into the big series.
Emil Meusel, the hard-hitting younester
whom Griffith sent to Elnlira to help
Wild Conroy win the pennant, returned
here today and reported to Manager
Griffith. Johnny Mumford and Buck Bar
ton. two of the locals pitching recruits,
also made their appearance.

Life is Best After Fifty

From The House We Live In, by
DR. William Elliot Griffs. :,
Neither the beauty of spring flow
ers, nor the splendor of summers
harvests, equal the mellow aff1uence
of autumn's glory. For personal en-
joyment and exercise of the nobler
powers. human life is at its best af-
ter so; and, If personal experience
be the criterion, the writer would
say, after 60.
Not for command, or for executive
initiation, neither for animal pleas
ures, nor for worldly amasements,
nor for easy conformity to the tyran-
ny of social custom, but for pure de-
| light in the higher realms Of happi-
ness, no previous period of life, no
April, May, or even June or July of
existence can compare with its glori-
Gus October.
Then are at their best the treas
ures of memory and of hope, the rich
fruitage of intellectual, culture, the
satisfying pleasures of faith. From
these resources is spread the table of
| life as never before, and for the daily
hbanquet at which sits as guest. the in
FINITE friend of man.
| Life, as it lengthens in perspective
becomes more interesting, and its out
look grander. There is ever more
that one wishes to live for, here OF
thereafter. If one has cultivated his
mind and taken wider view of his.
tory and humanity, then for him the
drudgery of text books, the grammar
and dictionary are largely over. He
sees with clear vision where he once
CROPPED to find clue. He enters in
to his intellectual inheritance. Where
was the sowing is now the reaping-
sheaves borne where once tears fell
He is no longer the heir, under tutor,
and governors, but the possessor O
riches, of which no slump in the mar
ket, no panics or national conyul
sions can rob him.

RAVAGES OF PELLAGRA

The report of the federal public
health service. commission which has
been investigating the pellagra prob
lem of the south fails to make plain the
cause Of that mysterious disease
once it was generally accepted that
pellagra was brought on by the eating
of unfit cornmeal and that it was a
communicable disease Its ravages
were so great a century ago that in
certain parts of Italy it caused one
fifth of the deaths and onethird of the
lunacy cases It's danger to this country.
where it was confined almost entirely
to the south, has been considered very
grave.
The commission draws the important
conclusion that pellagra is not COM
municable. AS to the cause, it believes
it comes from some undetermined fault
in diet, principally the absence of
enough animal and leguminOus food.
Milk, eggs and meat are recommended
for those suffering from the disease,
but as a large number of the victims
are very poor, the suggestion is also
made that the common legumes, peas
and beans, be used to supply the neces-
sary protein.
Evidently the poorer people in the
south have not been able to afford. or
have not been educated to find. the
simplest sort of balanced diet-NeW
