game of the New York and Brooklyn
Clubs at the Polo Grounds here. The
leagues president was in an Optimis-
tic mood.
81 feel that this race will be the
closest we have ever fought" he
said. 'tOur strength is well matched.
Boston and New York, of course, have
fine clubs, while st. Louis and Chica

take defeats without giving their op-
pOnents. great battle. The Philles
have the greatest pitcher in America
in Grover Alexander and that counts.
Cincinnati will fool lot Of folks.
Herzog has those boys out there hust
ling and will put up quite a fight to
get in the first division. -
New York fans figured that with
four teams in this city, including
Brooklyn with its Federal League
club, there ought to be fair chance
of winning one of the three big pen
nants.
Locally the pomp, and ceremony
which formerly signalled the opening
games had been abandoned. There
were to be no speeches, nor parades.
JEFF TesreaG, for the Giants, and JEFF
Pfeffer, for the Brooklyn, were the
opposing pitchers selected for the
opening game of the season.

Eating Between Meals.

The habit of allowing children
to eat between meals at will con-
not be too strongly condemned.
1t breaks up all habits Of regu-
larity and takes away the child S
appetite for the food which is
best for it. From infancy chill
dren should be trained to satisfy
their hunger at their meals. This
gives the stomach an opportunity
for digestive processes and needed
rest. Constant "piecing" means
constant work for the stomach,
and irrita bility is sure to follow.
Children who eat regularly are
better nourished than those who
piece" between meals, for the
stomach is given a chance to as
simulate the food taken. The
habit of eating about the house is
untidy in the extreme and should
not be tolerated. The kindest
thing to do for any child is that
which will make it strong, heal
thy, and agreeable.

Worth Knowing.

In the main. disease germs are
carried by food, fingers, and flies
Raw foods are easily contami
nated-water and milk especially
This is the reason that health
officers in time of an epidemic OF
typhoid fever ask that all water
be boiled and milk also, before
being used.
In measles. scarlet fever,
whooping cough, diptheria, tuber-
culosis, and many other diseases,
germs are present in the nose and
throat and may be spread from
one person to another by the
fingers. Drinking cups, spoons,
towels. and other articles also
carry these little bodies, and by
this means the infectious disease
is transmitted. Germs Of typhoid
fever are also carried by unclean
hands.
Flies gather all kinds Of filth on
their hairy bodies and legs and
deposit this dirty material on ev-
they touch so they are
dangerous things to have around.

THE PRIMARY BILL.

The general criticism which
Senator E'crke's primary bill has
drawn is encouraging. 1t means
that Democrats are not gong tt
n be satisfied with a measure OF
milk and water variety to meet
the conditions created by The
bull Moose victory of last year
in the Third District.
Mr.. Burke, after the election OF
Judge Martin, spoke in no uncer-
tain language of the necessity OF
proper legislation to preserve the
integrity of Democratic primaries
His experience in the management
of Mr.. Gueydan s campaign re-
moved from his mind any doubt
that the Democratic opposition
meant to use the existing laws to
accomplish the party's ruin in the
Third District. But the Iberia
senator's plan Of checkmatin :
these designs is too crude to de-
serve consideration.
| The way to put ban on party
perfidy is of course to compel all
Parties to nominate by primary
on the same day. But to print
the candidates of all parties on a
single ballot under different en-
blems would be simply to make
more aggravated the evil which
Democrats are seeking to correct.
Several other bills have been
prepared which more nearly APP
proach the sort Of legislation we
ought to have if we are going to
solve this important political
POLLEN in the way it ought to be
solved. Each of them may have
objections. But by using them as
basis and taking counsel with
each other there is no reason why
a joint committee of the two
houses with the assistance of the
Governor can not evolve a bill
that will be all milk and no
water.
The General Assembly is not
asked to pass law that will take
single privilege away from the
opposition or that will give excuse
Sor any mnfairness in our prima-
ries. But in no State is the dom
inant party expected to be so
generous in framing its election
laws as to give all the advant-
ages to theminority.
Bull Moose Mugwumps, Re-
public ans, Socialists and indie
pendents of course do not favor
any legislation at this time which
will deprive them Of the opportun-
tiles they have under the present
laws of throwing the harpoon into
the Democratic party of Louisi-
ana. But Democratic legislators
are under no obligations to take
advice of what they should do to
protect the interests of the Dem
ocratic party from such success.
