fielding is excellent, and the batting
Opportune and vicious. 1t may be
urged that the Reds are weak, but
they were strong enough to lam the
Giants, and have taken seven out of
their last eight games with the New
Workers.
There has been a batting revival
all along the line. Frank Schultz is
doing as much hitting as any of his
mates, and even Corriden has begun
to get the pill safe.
Unless Joe Tinker soon regains his
natural playing form, and is able to
hold up his end mechanically around
short for the Chifeds, the hackers of
the team may as well become recon-
ciled to the loss of the first pennant,
which seemed nailed up only a few
days ago.
Tinker isn't in shape to play his
best game, but he is better than any
Of the UnderstUdies. He emitted a
couple of wild throws yesterday, and
each of them cost a run. That was
just enough to down the locals,
though Rankin Johnson shouldn't
have been stung.
Beck knocked a homer with two on
in the eighth, but that left the locals
one short of a tie.
Opening a three-game series .
against the Maps in Cleveland today,
to be followed by three battles with
Detroit, the White SOX have an ex-
cellent chance of returning home
with an even break for their trip.
Even breaks don't win pennants, but
ifty-ffty is better than the yearly
percentage of the team to date.
Seventeen games have been play
ed. Seven of these were victories,
nine were defeats, and one, the last
in Washington, was a tie. Three
straight wins from the Nationals was
for the decent showing.

dyspeptic bons vivants have never

Doctor Prom expresses the opinion
that the oyster may be allowed,
therefore. to those dyspeptics whose
gastric functions are deficient, in
anorexla, gastric atony, ulcer and in.
cipient cancer, and to convalescents
from acute disease, as it is likely to
improve the appetite and to excite the
stomach to increased motor and chem.
ical activity.
But to the large number Of dyspep-
tics whose stomachs are hyperacid or

forbid the oyster as we'll as all other
stimulating foods. In many of these
dyspeptics the gastric secretion Is al
ready sufficient, and 1t is unnecessary
and unwise to increase 1t.

HIS PERIOD OF ENJOYMENT
Farmer Surely Had Earned Rest, But
He Waited Just a Little
Bit Too Long.

Once there lived a farmer who
worked so hard he was too tired to go
to church on Sunday, says Frank Tel
ford in Farm and Fireside. His hired
men refused to stand for the first
and last call to breakfast at 3:45 in
the morning and left before the end
Of the week. His wife MIXED the
cows and hoed the garden because
help was SO hard to keep. The farm
er voted against hard roads, and when
he was elected to the school board
hired for teacher young girl just out
OF high school, because she would
take the job for $50 month. In
short, he squeezed the dollars 80 hard
the eagle screamed. He would steal
acorns from blind pig.
When the farmer was fifty he had
a half section Of good black land in
the corn belt ard money in the bank.
He moved to town to enjoy a hard
earned rest. But his stomach was so
tired Of corn bread and bacon that It
went on strike and the farmer ate
milk toast. He could predict a storm
before the first cloud appeared, by
the creaking Of his joints, and he had
to call for help to turn over in bed.
One day his doctor said he had made
enough money to buy new touring
car and the farmer died Of heart dis.
ease.

NEED MEAT IN THEIR DIET
Scotch Specialists Make Assertion
That lt Should Be Supplied to
Young Children.

There Is prevalent misconception
that meat is not good for young chill
dren. Drs. A. Dingwell Fordyce and
o. w. Scott Carmichael, two famous
Scotch specialists in the diseases OF
children, In an article on "Glandular
tuberculosis in Children" published
In the Lancet, combat this old-fash-
ioned idea.. They write:
Constantly we see otherwise
healthy children suffering from indi-
gestion due to overfeeuing with bread,
porrtdge, potatoes, biscuits, cakes,
sweets. Comparatively rarely do we
see indigestion due to excessive meat
eating. Most certainly large amount
OF meat in the diet Of healthy young
child is likely to cause digestive trou-
BILE. But the point is that an adequate
supply Of flesh meat and fish in the
daily diet Is not only beneficial, but
Is, as rule, necessary to health.
During the first half of the Sec
ond year the chud should get this ami
NAL food In the form Of egg, bacon or
fish. Thereafter he should be given
daily at dinner a little chicken, rab-
bit or butchers meat. We consider
that deficiency of animal food-in the
shape of meat, fish and eggs-in the
diet, along with the common co-exist-
ent carbohydrate dyspepsia, is a wide
spread and important underlying fac
tor In the development of various in
fections5 and is more particularly one
OF the primary causes of cervical
glandular tuberculosis"

TECHNICALLY ONCE OF USE
UndoubtsSly Ssrved Good Purpose
When Criminal Laws Were so
Unreasonabiy Severe.

You remember the trial scene In
The Merchant of Venice" The "qual-
ity of mercy" has failed. The learned
Daniel Of judgment has refused the
plea to "wrest once the law to your
authority" Shylock is whetting his
knife for the pound Of flesh. And then
-"Tarry little. there is something
else. The bond doth give thee here
no jot Of blood"-a technicality. All
through the English law Of the period
am discussing, English criminal law
yers, with the connivance of humane
English judges, were playing the part
OF Portia, inventing ingenious excuses
by which humanity might triumph
over barbarism. Here is a man In
dicted for stealing a sheep-penalty,
death. The proof was that he stole
a eve, but the statute used the word
"ewe" as we'll as Sheep" ami the
prisoner escaped. He had not stolen
sheep.
In 1927, an indictment read that the
jurors "on their OATH" instead of ION
their oaths," charged a man with
crime and for this reason the indict.
ment was found defective and on this
technically the prisoner was dis
charged.
That these technicalities were in
their own time undesirable substitutes
for the law reform must be admitted.
But they had a reason for existence.

Canard a Fake.

Exchange: Discussing the origin of
the use of the French work for a
duck" to signify a piece Of fanciful
imagination, Sir Ray Lancaster says
he came across the statement in a
contemporary journal that it is prob
able that word is an allusion to the
story of the Matching Of geese Cor
ducks) from ships b~arnacles-a piece
of popular wonder lore of great anti
guilty, extending from the Orkneys to
the island Of Java, in the Far East.
It was a common belief on the
coasts Of Ireland and Scotland and
Brittany as far back as the eleventh
century, and was complicated by an
additional statement, namely, that the
ships barnacles were themselves pro-
duced as buds by trees growing near
the sea, and having their branches
hanging close to or into the water.
The bird so produced was called the
barnacle goose, and the species so
named was known to appear in hun
dreds on the coast, and yet never to
breed there in the ordinary way.
Grave writer's recorded their discov-
cry Of the ships barnacle "budding''
on the branches of trees, and Of the
existence within the barnacle's shell
Of a little creature like a young bird
with immature feathers Greatly the
featherlike legs of the barnacle, from
which it receives the name Cirrhi-
pede.)
Good churchmen ate the barnacle
goose on fast days, maintaining that 1t
was not a true bird, but half-fish and
half vegetable in origin. One Of the
popes (Tnnocent HI.) decided in A. D,
1915 against the legitimacy of this con-
t~ention, but ever in the last century
it was prevalent in Brittany.
In 1861 Sir Robert Moray, the first
president Of the British Royal society,
read a paper to the society at one OF
it's earliest meetings, in which he de-
scribed the bird-like creature which he
had observed within the shell of a
common ships barnacle, and favored
the belief tina the bird was really In
this way produced by a metamorphosis
of the barnacle.
The story, although it has staunch
believers, had always been ridiculed by
less credulous people, and it is not al
all improbable that the word 'can
ard" short for "rhistorie du can
ard" took root. at an early time, in Its
present sense OF a bHSefess Rancifu
story.
There has been much ingenuity ex'
pended in trying to account for thu
origin of the belief that geese were
produced by barnacles, and it a nov
been definitely shown that the stor!
originated in very ancient times by tn
misinterpretation Of decorative de
signs painted on earthenware plates
and dishes by the Mycenaen people O.

terranean as early as 1900 B. G.

Dam OUT AT
MUSkRAT LAKE
STORM FRIDAY EVENING WASH
ED OUT DAM AND RUSH OF
WATER DUG IMMENSE CHAM
MEL 49, PASSENGERS IN BOAT
HAD TO WADE ASHORE.

The tremendous fall Of water Fri
dav evening washed out the dam and
fshway on Muskrat lake between De
troit and Lake Sally. Coming so rap
idly. the rush Of water dug a channe
twelve feet deep and sixty feet broad
before it could be checked. It is
thought that fully two weeks will be
required to repair the damage. The
water was lowered to a considerable
extent in Detroit and CORRESPONDENCE
raised in Sally and Melissa. Muskrat
lake is commonly known as the a
mel which connects Detroit with Lake
Sally. ,
The dam went out just as the boat
was entering the channel loaded with
~assenge and so rapidly did the
water recede that the boa was
grounded and the passengers had to
wade ashore. A large force Of men
and teams are at work On the new
dam and hope to complete it n about
teWo weeks. A temporary dam has
been erected in order to keep the wat
err in Detroit lake from receding too
rapidly.
During the storm Charles Rowland,
who has a cottage On Lake Melissa,
was awakened by the immense roar
of the waves and looking out on the
shore saw a large number Of boats be-
ing dashed in a way that would soon
DESTROY them. In spite Of the storm,
Mr.. Rowland worked the remainder or
the night and succeeded In drawing
he boats above the danger line. Al
together he saved seven boats, some
of them quite valuable.

MILLER OF MINNEAPOLIS TOLD
OF PROGRESS OF PROHIBITION.

A union meeting was held at Grace
Methodist Episcopal church last night
and it was under the auspices of the
Anti Saloon league. There was a good
attendance and the speaker of the
evening, Rev. w. H. Miller Of Mime
apOlis, was introduced by Atty. F. H.
Peterson, nominee-elect for state SEN
ator.
The devotional exercises were con-
Quoted by Rev. C. H. Doolittle of the
Presbyterian church, and Rev. Francis
Boone of Grace church. The cho1rs OF
the two churches furnished excellent
musical numbers.
In the course of his address, Rev,
Mr.. Miller discussed the attitude OF
the saloon toward the individual. the
home, the state, the church, h Bible
and God, BY strong arguments and
Illustrations, which demonstrated
themselves, he went on to show that
the saloon is the destroyer Of man
hood. womanhood, religion and social
liberty, and is the greatest enemy the
church has to contend with. He ap-
peaIed to the men in the audience tc
vote for men who would honestly
represent them in local and state af-
fairs. Especially did he plead that
men who were right be sent to the
state legislature, men who would vote
for a county option measure, which
would mean that the people Of the
communities themselves would have
the elimination Of the saloons in thetl
own hands.
A goodly congregation greeted the
Rev. Mr.. Boone at Grace church yes
terday morning. The theme Of hi:
sermon was, The Joy of Christian
Living. During the service Mrs. Boom

THE SITUATION
IN IRELAND
Continued From Page Five.

Ava - oSS
from the membership Of the Order OF
Hibernians. @...
While the Ulster volunteers, with
more than q years training, form a
very efficient military force estimated
at $4,000 armed men, their home rule
imltators are yet a comparatively
crude body. The Covenanters OF
Ulster have modern rifles with bayo-
nets, a fair supply of ammunition, and
few gatling guns; their drill and
signalling methods are thorough and
up to date and even the regular army
desires the swiftness with which they
can be modified as displayed when
they took charge Of a good part Of
Ulster and distributed several thou
sand guns from The flibustertng shiE
Fanny" before the government reliz-
ed what was happening.
The drill Of the Home Rulers Is yet
that Of amateurs by comparison, but
they are working hard, with many Irish
men who have been non-commissioned
officers in British regiments as their
trainers. Their chief want is money
while the Covenanters have the richest
province in Ireland behind them, and
large subscriptions from English
sympathizers.
Half the young men of Belfast are
giving up their nights to drilling and
Sundays to reviews and speech-mak-
ing. The two factions keep strictly to
their w sections but when detach-
ments Of opposing forces meet they
exchange salutes with all the formal
ties of hostile armies during a truce.
The common saying Is that only q
spark is needed for q terrible ex-
ploslon. The very possibilities OF
lighting a spark amid such a powder
factory compel the leaders to sobriety
and caution.
