Serious Error In FIkton
Elkton Citizens Will Do Well To Profit
By The Following

Many fatal cases of kidney disease
have reached an incura3le stage be-
cause the patient did not understand
the symptoms. Even today in Elkton
there are many residents making the
same serious error. They attribute
their mysterious aches and pains to
overwork, or worry perhaps, when all
the time their rheumatic pains, back
ache and bladder irregularities are
most probably due to weak and ailing
kidneys. If you are i'll, if your kid
neys are out of order, profit by this

Comiskey Favors Early Start.
ing of Series for City
Championship.
RAISE LAST YEARS FLAG
Old Roman Promises Treat for White
Hose Fans-Teams Favor Start
ing Wednesday.

Chicago. Ill, Sept 24-Granting that
the Cubs will not cop the National
league pennant. the annual civil base
ball strife in Chicago will start on
Oct. Z, unless President Thomas or
Manager Hank O'Day OF the Cubs
should interpose some serious objec-
ton. President Comiskey of the Sox
is ready to start the series on Oct. 6,
but for various reasons that date is
hardly probable.
One week from Sunday the SoX will
wind up their American league scied-
ule on the south side. On the follow
ing day the Cubs will play their Ma
tional league farewell at St Louis, and
It is not likely that Boss Hank would
consent to starting the post-scason ar
gument after an all night ride from
tho Mound city.
Object to Double Headers,
Under ordinary conditions the Cubs
might double up on Oct. at St. Louis;
but they have two pOstponements wait
ing to be decided against the Cardi-
mails. and an arrangement of that sort
would mean three double headers IN
as many days. So much pastiming
would be quite a strain on the hurting
corps and Hank undoubtedly would re-
fuse to overwork his slabmen just be
fore tacklin the Galatians.
Another point in favor of Oct. as
the starting date is the little matter
Of the gate receipts. That date hap
pens on Wednesday, and even should
one team win four straight games, a
Saturday contest with its usual big
crowd would be absolutely necessary.
Also It is likely that the players would
kick strcnuously if the games were
started on Tuesday. They share in
only the first four battles. and unless
rain should make a postponement nee
essary they would not cut in on the
cash resulting from the half holiday
conflict.
Sox to Raise Flag.
Comiskey has reserved little treat,
which he will spring on the south side
fans the first time the Cubs invade
his park. The pennant won by the
Galatians in last years post-season
combats has never been raised, and
Commy plans to unfurl the banner in
the first city series clash on the south
side. The ceremony will give the SoX
followers a fine chance to remind the
Cubs of what happened year age.
and it also may serve to tnstill new
confidence into the Galatians.
That the world series in the east
will start not later than Oct. is the
opinion of President johnson of the
American league. 1t has been reported
that the big battles would begin one
day sooner, but such an arrangement
is possible only by playing double
headers and cutting the season short
one day. Braves. Giants and Athletics
do not finish their league work until
Oct. Z. and the flag winners Will want
at least one day to frame their final
plans for the big series.

WAR MAY CAUSE
A PEARL FAMINE
World Must Look to Mississippi
River for Its Supply in
Future.

Should the present European war
continue for any length OF time il is
possible that pearl famine will be
precIpitated and should such be the
case, the main source of supply viii
undoubtedly be the Mississippi river.
Pearls are reported scarce on account
of the IL terruption, in shipments from
the orient to London and Paris and
thence to New York. Experts state
that this will stimulate the demand
for the fresh water pearl found in the
mussels of the Mississippi and its
tributaries.
Manufacturers are also worried at
present over the supply of colored
stones and imitation gems received
chiefly from Germany and Austria in
the past. A suggestion has already
been made that the jewellers begin to
substitute colored stones that may be
obtained in various states of this
country and Mexico. A statement
may be started to make more popular
the stones that are mined and cut in
this country.
Germany and Austria have been the
sources from which have come great
quantities of the semi-precious or col
ored stones. and also of synthetic
and imitation gems of all kinds and |
jewelry novelties. especially in the
cheaper lines. Paris has sent this
country in the past much of the more
expansive and artistic jewelry. All
these supplies must now be provided
in one way or another by the domestic
manufacturers.
One of the sudden effects of the war
is that New York now has an easy OPP
portunity to become the chief city of
the world in the cutting and polishing
of diamonds. The principal competi-
tors of New York in this industry in
the past have been Antwerp and Am
sterdam, and reports received in the
Maiden lane district are OF the effec;
that the diamond factories OF those
cities are shut down because of the
disturbed conditions due to the war.
London and Paris have a few small
shops. and these are also closed.
So it is expected that If the war
continues the New York cutters will
be called upon to supply most OF the
world with diamonds. The world en-
ploys about 10000 men in cutting aid
polishing diamonds.
The rough diamonds are imported
from South Africa by way of London.
While production at the mines and
shipments to London have both been
checked by the disturbed business and
shipping conditions, yet the New York
cutters believe that they will get sup
plies enough for requirements. Unus-
ually heavy importations of diamonds.
both rough and cut, were made some
time ago in anticipation of tariff
changes, and some shipments were
rushed here about the time the war
opened.
These supplies have enabled the
importers and cutters to meet the
many of whom have been buying in
larger quantities than usual in fear
that the precious stones will be scare
er and higher priced as a result of
the war. The demand comes from the
manufacturers of rings, lockets, neck
laces, pins. bars and various other
kinds of jewelry.

Criminals Used a Textbook.

The late Sir Howard Vincent, M. p,
when head of the criminal investiga-
ton department of Scotland Yard.
wrote very comprehensive book for
the benefit of young constables. II
told them how to act on every possible
occasion, from capturing burglar to
consoling a lost child. But, unfortu-
nately, the information it contained as
to police methods was equally valuable
to criminals, who profited by its tips
to such an extent that the book was
suppressed, and thenceforth constables
were instructed by word of mouth

According to Nate Lewis, Whites

Il. divided as follows: Philadelphia
Chicago, 8; Washington, 4; New

To clinch another pennant the Macks
must win eight of their II games, pro-

The standing at the finish in that case
would be:
