to be followed as well. which Is never
hit and run when the pitcher is wild.
as base on balls is much more to be-
desired than the chance Of poking
ball through vacated territory.
Il have known Instances where
there was wild pitcher In the box,
and the team at bat hung out the
hit.and.run sign SO that It could be
read by blind man. Why? They
wanted the catcher to see the sign
and to call for pitch-outs, knowing It
was hard job for the pitcher to get
II over as II was. and that q few
waste balls would have him up in the
air completely. and either passing the
batters or growing the ball for them.

When should a catcher call for Q

These two questions we're shot at
Hugh Jennings. His reply was:
There is only one out.and.out re-
liable hit-andrm batter IN the Amer.

the Washington cWb. With only one
such consistent hit and runner why
should catchers be so prone to call
for pitch.outs?
Two of the best catchers who ever
lived were Duke Farrell and Wilbert
Robinson. Seldom did either call for
q pitch.ou. except when Willie Keeler
was at bat, for he could hit to any
field.

Mournful Industry.

One French industry that has grown
apace since the beginning of August
is the making of those funeral wreaths
with which the cemeteries in France
are always so primly decorated. Many
a soldiers grave is marked today only
by cross and cheap little tricolor
waving gloriously in the transient sun
shine. but there is a big demand
among those who may bring their lost
ones nearer home to rest for the con-
ventional mourning wreaths. The
shop windows are filed with these
things and with promises that orders
will be instantly fulfilled at the work
shops.
One imagines that the very tinicky
work must keep a large number of
girls employed. for all those elaborate
ly twisted designs of flowers and foil
age are made of wire strung with the
tiniest of beads, and enormous guam
titles must be used for every wreath.
The designs do not seem to have
varied. The favorite is still the wreath
of heartsease worked out in melan-
choly livid shades of purple, blue and
gray-green, but the words in running
script across the design are Mort
pour la Patrie."

Dog That Saved His Master.

l must write you just one story that
came to me at the ambulance just be-
fore Christmas, even though it is a
little late. We had a French soldier
brought in frightfully wounded. He
came from the region around st. Mi
hiel. One leg had to be amputated,
and, besides that, he had half a dozen
other wounds. His dog came with
him-a hunting dog of some kind. The
dog had saved his masters life. They
were in the trenches together, when a
shell burst in such way as to col
lapse the whole trench. Everyone in
it was killed or buried in the collapse,
and this dog dug and dug until he got
his masters face free, so that he
could breathe, and then he sat by him
until some re-enforcements came and
dug them all out. Everyone was dead
but this man.
Isn't that a beautiful little story
We have both the dog and the man
with us. The dog has little house
all to himself in the court, and he has
blankets and lots of petting, and ev-
cry day he is allowed to be with mis-
master for little while-Letter from
DR.. Mary Merritt Crawford, in Paris,

OUR COAST DEFENSE

In these modern days of heavy armament
and scientific war equipment, much thought
has been given to our coast defense. The
question Of preparedness is one that con-
Germs all patriotic Americans for it is always
The unexpected attack that causes conster-
nation.
This is also true in matters pertaining to
health. That great enemy of health -
stomach trouble--may spring an unexpected
attack at any time and it is well to be pre-
pared by always keeping a bottle of Hos
tetter's Stomach Bitters in the house. 1t is
your bulwark in time of distress.
Be on guard at all times, and as soon as
YOU notice the appetite failing, digestion
becoming impaired, the liver inactive and
the bowels refuse to perform their daily
functions commence taking the Bitters.
Prompt action, together with the aid of
this medicine, has been the means of pre-
venting much suffering from Sick Headache,
Nausea, Poor Appetite, Indigestion, Con-
stipation and Biliousness.
Don't trife with your health, but rather
help Nature when weakness is manifested.
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters is Natures ally,
and these together, form a combination that
is sure to result to your welfare. Try it
today but be sure you get Hostetter's.
