PEANUTS COST cRIGER JOB.

Munching peanuts cost Lou Cri-
ger, the veteran catcher, his job as
coach of the ST. Louis Browns.
Early in the 1913 campaign the
Browns were playing New York
and Frank Chance went to bat out
of turn. The Yankee manager sim
gled, starting a rally which beat
st. Louis. Meanwhile Criger was
munching peanuts on the Brown
bench and when the official scorer
at Hedges! park tried to attract his
attention Lou resisted and con-
tinued to eat his peanuts That vic
tory helped New York nose out the
Browns for seventh place, and in
cidentally cost Criger his berth
with Rickey's team.

Where Stars Come From.

Baseball stars, that is, the real shin
ing lights of our national pastime,
come from points far remote to the
big cities. The boys in the country
have more space for practice and are
not affected by the glare of night
life, so, consequently develop a higher
grade of material than the city lads.
Ty Cobb comes from Royston. Ga;
Frank Baker put Trappe, Md, on the
map; Hans Wagner, when at home,
eats at Carnegie, Pa; Rucker Is also
from Georgia; Walter johnson calls
q small town in Idaho home.

Fiohters Sail for Australia.

Ray Bronson, Eddie McGoorty and
young Saylor have departed for Aus
tralia to fight the rising stars of that
island. 1t is a recognized fact that
fighters take on weight very fast in
the Antipodes, SO it will not be re-
markable if these fighters come back
as heavyweights. The most striking
example of this occurred to Cyclone
Johnny Thompson. A lightweight on
leaving, but after staying away for
two years, came back to the United
States and fought Bob Moha, Papke
and other light heavyweights.

INVESTORS HAVE COLD FEET
English Economists View of Business
Conditions.

London, July Sir George Parish
economist of European fame and edl'
tor of the London Statist gave his
views on business conditions and the
outlook in the United States. He
said
What is happening is not peculiar
to the United States. but incidental to
the business situation generally. we
expected this reaction would come In
1915, but it has come earlier, and !
believe the crisis is near.
"As to the United States, the short
age of the corn crop is one of the
contributing causes. Such a short
age inevitably is followed by a shrink
age in trade. A more immediate
cause is the delay of the decision oi
the interstate commerce commission
on the rate raise.
"The main cause of the existing
situation is that the continental anc
American investors have lost theil
nerve"

THINGS ABOUT GUINEA FOWL
Birds Make Excellent Substitute for
Game and Many Big Hotels Seye
Them as Paeasants.
az LIS. q. JOsEPH0

The demand for guinea fowls grows
stronger every year and is increasing
as people become acquainted with the
good qualities Of their flesh. Those
who have learned to appreciate the
flavor of the flesh OF a plump guinea
are not slow to express surprise at
the fact that the excellent qualities
of this bird have not been more wide
ly recognized.
It is true that the cook book fails
to refer to them at all and yet there
is not the least question but that
they are superior eating to either the
duck or the goose
The young fowl are best broiled,
while the older birds may be cooked
by any recipe devised for the cooking
Of chickens, and in any case the re-
suit is far more palatable.
The flesh Of the guinea is rather
dark, but is finely grained, possessing
a gamey favor. For this reason the
fowl makes an excellent substitute for
game and many hotels in the larger
cities serve it for pheasant. The eggs
are also much relished on account Of
their rich flavor
Every family In the country should
keep a few guineas, if for no other
purpose than for a watch" for the

Every year I pack a great many

win keep eggs longer than anything

I pack them in half barrels and use
plenty OF oats. first place a layer
OF oats about three inches en- the bot
tom, and then a layer Of eggs, never
allowing one to touch the other, or
the sides of the barrel. And then fol-
low with another layer of oats until
within about six inches from the top,
when I ill up the barrel with oats.
If the barrel containing the eggs is

If allowed to become damp they win
