ANOTHER COFFEE WRECK
What's the Use When There's an Easy
Way Out?

Along with the coffee habit has
grown the prevalent American Dis
ease prostration.
The following letter shows the way
out of the trouble:
Five years ago / was a great cot
fee drinker and from its use / be-
came so neUous / could scarcely
sleep at all nights. MY condition grew
worse and worse until finally the ply
sician consulted declared my trou-
bles were due to coffee.
But being so welded to the bev-
erage I did not see how ] could do
without 1t, especially at breakfast,
as that meal seemed incomplete with
out coffee.
"On a visit, my friends deprived me
OF coffee to prove that it was harm
full. AT the end Of about eight days
i was less nervous, but the craving
for coffee was intense, so / went back
to the old habit as soon as got home
and the old sleepless nights came
near making a wreck Of me,

1T had a soothing effect on my
nerves, and none Of the bad effects
that coffee had. SO bade farewell to

There can be no dispute over the

With the addition of the I'd Bat

The recent battery series, so sur

n URING the middle ages chess was
u the favorite indoor game Of the
nobility, tables or backgammon and
merels and various forms of diceing
being its only rivals longo interVallo.
From A. D. 100 onward literary ref
erences to it's popularity became more
and more numerous, and by the mid
die of the thirteenth century ignor-
ance of chess was regarded as social
disability. Among knights and ladies
chess was a necessary part of chew
a1erie, we read In an interesting ar
ticle in the Times Nondon), skill in
its mimic warfare being looked upon
as sufficient proof of noble descent
In monasteries and nunneries it was
accepted as a welcome alienation Of
the monotony of convent life. From
the communities of religions, centers
of all medieval culture as they were,
chess reached the wealthy burgesses
and merchants of the. towns; it was
also a favorite diversion in the ghet-
toes. though the Jews penned therein
may have derived their knowledge of
so ccnsolatory an art directly from
the sympathetic cast. The romances
of the age are full of illusions to

more senses than one, and not the
least significant of the proofs that our
ballad poetry was the work of the
common folk" is the curious fact
that chess is only mentioned in one
stanZa of Tamlane:
Four and twenty ladies fair
We're playing at the chess,
And out there came the fair Janet,
AS green as any grass.
Other texts of the ballad thus mod
ernized by Sir Walter have "ba" for
Chess" so it is doubtful after all
whether the green vestured Janet and
her companions were playing at the
chess.

century, when the medieval form OF

as large amount of leisure had to be

THIRD BATTALION
WINS THE TITLE
IN 18TH INFANTRY

Especial StarBulletin Correspondence
SCHOFIELD BARRACKS, April 20.
The Third Battalion cinched the
championship of the 2Cth Infantry
Battalion League here yesterday, by
defeating the Second Battalion of
same regiment IA.
The Third Battalion has now won
eight games and lost two. The Sec
ond has won five and lost four, while
the First has won one and lost eight
The two last named teams will
clash in the near future in the final
game of the series.
One of the pleasantest features of
this series has been the gameness of
the uphill fight of the First Battalion,
in spite of the fact of their being COM
posed largely of recruits they have
fought every game to a finish-and
no game was lost until the end of the
last inning.
The game yesterday was a triumph,
for the Third Battalion played error
less ball-and hit the ball when hits
were needed.
Smith who twirled for this team al
lowed six hits and four runs.
Three of these hits and the four
runs came in the eighth inning when
WaterhOUse singled, Dunlap doubled,
Amos was safe on felder's choice, and
Cullens tripled and scored on Rhode S
sacrifice fly
The Third Battalion scored one run
in the second one in the third, four
in the fifth and one in the eighth off
Waterhouse, on whom they got eight
hits.
Waterhouse was poorly supported
and the eight hits assisted by nine
errors caused his downfall
The features of the game were the
batting of Slaughter who in four times
up got two hits. and the all around
fielding OF the Third Battalion team
The trophy for which the battalions
have been struggling is a loving cup
