ONE OFF,; ONE ON
Catcher Gleason Is Released by
Local Ball Club.
RidgeWay Says He Will Come
Back Into Fold.

The ak that chops off heads fell for
the first time in the camp of the To-
cal baseball club this morning when
owner Savage announced the uncon-
ditional release of Catcher Bill GIea-
son, one of the men who drew sal
airy from the old Kaws during the lat
ter part of last season.
1T is probable that one or two oth-
err releases will be made before re-
porting time" Mr.. Savage announced:
From the showing Gleason made last
season, 1 did not think it worth Whlle
to have him come here all the way
from Portland, Ore. With the three
catchers we already have. L don
think he could have held down a po-
sition: so, IN fairness to him, L
thought it best to allow him to become
a free agent and dispose of his serv-
ices elsewhere if he can.
Gleason came to Topeka during the
latter part of last season from the
Helena club IN the Union Association.
His work with Helena was most
promising and he batted .2S6 IN add1-
ton to making a good fielding record
ton after coming here, and was very
weak when It came to handling the
turned stick.
Ridgeway Comes In.
Mr. Savage spent the greater part
of Wednesday notifying the players to
be ready to begin eating at the ex-
pense of the club on the 29th. Yes
terday afternoon, word was received
that Jack Ridgeway, the only hold
out on the list, had accepted terms
and would report here on time
Ridgeway is conceded to be a pitch
err of ability and many fans will con-
slider the team materially strength
ened by retaining him. During last
season he won and lost 10 games.
He was faced by 525 batters, allowed
124 hits and 81 earned runs.
With the exception of an Infelder
and an outfielder whom he expects to
sign Mr. Savage now has his roster
complete. All of the holdouts have
been brought back into the fold, and
a very promising lot of new men has
been signed.
jackson Here Monday.
Jimmy Jackson, the player man
aoer has written Mr.. Savage that he
will leave Philadelphia on the morn
ing of the goth, and it is expected that
he will arrive in Topeka some time
Monday.
games will be arranged for Saturday
and Sunday, April and 4, with the
St Paul team of the American AS
ISOLATION. Games with the Saints
have been scheduled for the 9Th and
10th, but Mr.. Savage is anxious TO
have these dates changed to the 3rd
and 4th and if he cannot do this, Will
trv to have them here both times
I'VE want to start the team off in
as fast company possible the new
owner said 1--WE want them to
realize that we will expect them to
play real baseball from the jump, and
even if an A A. team does show them
up pretty badly, it cannot do any
harm However, I don't see any rea-
son why they can't make as good
showing on the 4th and 9Th as they
could on the 9th and 10TH.

The surest way to protect any Civ

to destroy it, and so the most certain
way to stop the killing of gulls for the
millinery trade is to prohibit the sale
of gulls wings and plumage, so that
the plume hunter can find no market
for his spoils. To California belongs
the credit of Incorporating in the
game law of 1895 the first law in this
country prohibiting the sale of gulls'
plumage for millinary purposes. Many
States followed this lead until, in
1910, New York enacted the most
drastic law of all, prohibiting not only

The Pellagra Experiment

s.. .
must ever rank with the greatest dis
covers OF modern times in medical an
nails While his experiment can not be
said to prove conclusively that pella-
gra is caused by an unbalanced dietet-
ic regimen, he has shown that this
dreadful disease is largely due 10
dietetic errors.
Eleven conyicts volunteered for this
dramatic and terrifying ordeal. The
men suffered the tortures OF the
damned and often begged piteously to
be released. Their diet was an unbal-
anced one, consisting of collards, grits,
corn bread, fried mush and coffee.
The most wretched symptoms devel-
cped in consequence of the expert
ment
We have no doubt that the ordeal
through which the men passed had
much to do with the fact that eight
of these subjects developed pellagra in
it's worst form. For many months the
minds of these men were saturated
with the thought of pellagra. They
lived in an atmosphere of disease and
their vivid imaginations and fears
brought up before them a picture that
was outlined on their bodies as clear
~ as any physical action could have
done Add to this the anxiety through
which the men passed-the dread of
the disease that was pictured upon
their mental Visions the uncertainty,
the doubt. Can one deny that the
mental ordeal through which these
men passed had much to do with the
results Of the experiment?
The pellagra experiment. therefore,
brings UP questions of a psychological
as well as a physiological and patho-
Logical nature. 1t by no means fully
answers the question as to the cause
of disease, even that of pellagra.
But it is beyond doubt the start,
ing point for vast and important dis
coveries in the most important bust
ness in the world-the question OF
healing mems diseases.
Pellagra has been puzzle to scien-
lists for ten years or more. It's origin
or proper method of treatment was
unknown until DR.. Goldbergcr began
his experiments The disease has for
a number of years been spreading
with terrifying persistence, particular
ly true of the poorer classes who were
unable to obtain food suitable for use.
In Mississippi alone it has caused not
less than 5000 deaths
DR.. Goldbergers cure is astounding
ly simple, but such is the case in all
matters pertaining to health, when one
has studied deeply the underlying
principles OF Nature. 1t is the use OF
a balanced diet like milk, peas, beans,
eggs, etc, something that will remove
the prep0nderance Of starchy elements
or carbohydrates such as are to be
found in corn products like meal and
grits.

Every soldier in the trenches and
hospitals in Europe Will be given an
apple in the near future, if plans now
being worked out by committee OF
the apple trade throughout the United
States are successful.
1t is proposed to have vessel take
over a big cargo of apples to be dis
trituted free under the auspices OF
the Red Cross, and efforts will be
made to GET President Wilson and
Secretary of State Lansing to have
the several warning governments per-
nit safe passage for portions OF the
big consignment to the various fronts
and hospitals where the fruit can be
placed in the hands of the Red Cross
for distribution. especially among the
sick and wounded.
Apple growers and dealers who are
endeayoring to send over the big con
signment have learned that many OF
the fighting men are suffering be-
cause of lack of fruit juices, giving
rise to scurvy and other disorders.
Returning surgeons who have seen
service in the European hospitals, are
said to approve heartily the plan to
provide more fruit juices not only
among the wounded but also for the
men in the trenches.
we are working on this under
taking purely from humanitarian mo-
tiyes,' said one of the committee
who is a leading wholesale apple dis
tri5utor today It's going to cost a
lot of money for the fruit alone. and
we shall call upon all the people en-
gagged in the apple industry to con-
tribute a portion OF the expense. At
first the trade did not take kindly to
the plan, as it was feared that vessels
could not be found to carry over the
apples. Then the idea was conceived
of chartaring a ship which would take
nothing but apples, and We believe
that when the purpose is disclosed
TO foreign governments, none will op.
pose free passage of our ship, for it
will go on mission of charity.
