The dance reignS supreme at Poll s,
the first half of the weekk, where Mr.
Ernest Evans and his society Circus
and Ballroom Ballet head a very at
tractive program. The headllne Yea
ture overshadows anything that has
ever been presented here in the way
of dance advertisements, for it is ar
tistic in the extreme and has the add
ed asset of being absolutely UNIQUE:
Mr. Evans, who is a most graceful
dancer himself, has surrounded MINI
self by a big company of tw1nklng
feminity who fairly shine in a. select

DOWD TO
Be STAR Of REDS
STAFF NEXT YEAR

Jim tsSkip'' Dowd of Holyoke, one
of the leading pitchers in the 1nterna-
tiona1 league last season, and former
Holy Cross star, is counted upon to do
some great work in Cincinnati the
coming season. During the recent sea-
son in the International league Dowd
acted as secretary Of the Montreal
club, and several times his persuasion
was effective, in keeping players from
making the jump to the Federal
league. Dowd himself was in receipt
of fine offer from the outlaws, but
preferred to hold his place in the
ranks of organized baseball, feeling a
big future would be much better as
sured-
Dowd was a5sstar sehooIboy pitcher.
at HoIyoke, but when he went to Holy
Cross he learned some real points
about the game. That was. in 1907,
and Dr. Carney, another former Holy
oker, then coached Holy Cross. Car
ney, himself a pitcher and outf1elder,
once with the Boston Nationals, really
brought Dowd out. At that time Jack
Barry of. the Red Sox was shortstop
for Holy Cross.
The Cincinnati Inquirer talks as
follows about the acquisition of the
Holyoke boy by the Reds: Baseball
fans who followed the fortunes of the
international league last season seem
to think that the Reds have picked
up a first class right-hand pitcher in

from the Montreal club just before the

shy of first class hur1ers for the
greater part of the year. Dowd won
more than his share of games for

last two weeks of the season. Dowd
led all the International league
twirlers. with Ia victories in 1T~starts,

Getting, Back to Nature: The scrap
that is going on among our brothers
across the big pond is helping the doc
tors to unlearn a great many things
about the treatment of wounds and
it has also brought out some very val
liable information about the spread of
preventable diseases that will be
worldwide in benefits.
When was about 20 years old was
one day helping in the digging of a
well at the home of my mothers sis
ter. My part of the job was to ope-
rate the windIasS in hosting the dirt,
the man down in the hole did all of
the work 60 One morning as was
about to let the empty bucket down to
be filled my attention was called sud-
denly to- something else, the bucket
was knocked over and went flynn g
downward. In my attempt to stop it
and prevent hurting the man below I
was struck terrible blow just above
the eye by the protruding end of an
immense iron spike that had been
driven part way into the windlass to
hold the rope.
L stopped the bucket in time to save
the man below, but I was so stunned
by the blow that I would probably
have fallen in myself had it not been
for my aunt who was standing nearby.
She Immediately examined the cut
telling me to keep my hands away
from it and let the blood flow freely.
She quickly returned with a spoon
full of brown sugar and a bottle of
camphor with clean cloths or rags for
bandages. She placed the sugar on a
piece of cloth folded to several thick
nesses and little larger than the
wound, then she saturated the sugar
and cloth with camphor and bound
it on the wound.

the cut was deep and perhaps an inch

of a scar left when it healed >The

SEES In many other cases where
dressings of any kind were impossible
to obtain, it has been found that
the sunshine and fresh air was a
splendid healing agent while the
blood that flows out of wound is
as good an antiseptic as can be made
by man. IF a wound bIeeds freely
and is bound up in clean cloths with
out the loss of too much blood, the
chance of infection is small.
In the case Of old sores that have
resisted all efforts of the doctors, we
find that exposure to sunlight for an
hour or SO daily and then a liberal

with a little powdered boracic acid
will bring about surprisingly satisfac-
tory results. After applying this dry
dressing t1le~sore should be covered
with sterile absorbent cotton which
may be kept in place by bandages or

be applied twice daily.

Families Flee In
Fright As Firemen
Are Fighting Flames

Fire in a four-story building at SOL
Pembroke street about 1890 this morn
ing caused four families to flee into
the cold night air in their night attire,
but it was later shown that the fright
was unca1led for.
The blaze was in a meat market
owned by Charles Raider and the
grocery store Of Giuseppe Del Vecchio
on the main floor. The fire had a good
start but it was confined to the stores.
Wrapped in blankets the families
watched the hrepen fight the flames.
No one was injured. The first floor is
Of brick and the other three of wood.
The damages will amount to about
$500.

The stomach trouble also needs at
tention. You should use the Com

before going to bed, two tumblerfuls
of hot milk. First heat the milk to
blood heat by placing the milk in a
double boiler, then add a little sca1ding
water, say about one-fourth its guam
tity. Sip it slowly with a, teaspoon.
Do this every night Do not eat in
the morning before 9 or 10 O'Clock
and make it a light meal; no meat
should be taken at this time, but eggs
cereals and fruits are all right, then
eat a good, hearty meal about
o'clock in the afternoon and the milk

Dear Doctor: Allow me 40 tSk you
If there is any virtue in a mixture of
sulphur and cream of tartar as a
blood purifier and a remedy for
Rheumatism. How proportion the
9wo ingredients? In which does the
most virtue lie? Can the sulphuV be
as effectua1 without the cream of tar
tar? What the effect, or is there any
evil effect if the mixture is taken con-
tnually once day for four months?
Sulphur and cream Of tartar are
of the oldest known home remedies
and have always been considered very
good blood medicines, especially the
sulphur. The sulphur is the most
effective and is really the blood puri-
fer, while the cream of tartar is the
eliminant. When taken, at one time
they should be used in the proper
ton of one part cream of tartar to two
of sulphur. I believe however, a

teaspoonfu1 of sulphur in one table
spoonful of syrup mo1asses at
night before going to bed, and in the
morning taking teaspoonful of
cream of.tartar in a glassful of water.
These should be taken for consecu-
tive days when you should rest from
it for 8 days, after which take 8 more
doses and so for about months.
Anything that increases the activity
of the organs of digestion and e1irnin-

keep tab on it. February. 1915, will
pass without having full moon, a
thing that has not happened since

until $500, 900 years from Febru-

on the LIST and 30th. In March it
will be fully on the 1st and 81 and
that cuts off any possibility of
having a full moon. 1t is an
odd combination of circum-
stances. If there is anything in

Session Will Die With Demo-

Bill.
APPROPRIATIONS RUSHED
And Both Houses Are Prepar.
ing For All Night
Sessions.
APPROPRIATIONS RUSHED

Washington, Mar. with three
and half days left in the life of the
sixty third congress, both houses are
prepared to sit almost continuously
until noon Thursday, March 4, to
complete necessary business, and, if
possible, to enact a few important
measures INSTRUCTED by the ship pur.
chase bill fight.
Beginning today the senate and
house will consider conference reports
on the great supply bill, approxima'
ting 81 900, 900 600. to defray gov
eminent expenses for the next fiscal
year. The senate has yet to dispose
of the $11, 100000 Indian bill and the
rivers and harbors bill. That it will
be impossible to pass the senate
river and harbor measure, carrying
$38, 000, 900, has been conceded fol-
several days. A joint resolution ap
propriating a lump sum of 100000,
600 probably will be substituted
War department officials have esti
mated that it will require this amour
to take care of existing projects.
The renewed fight for the ship bill
will occupy attention of the nous
today. 1t is planned to rush the cor
ference agreement through and sen
lit to the senate tonight. There
probably will be held back until al
preparation conference reports al
disposed of. If this is done the la'
stand of the ship purchase champion
probably cannot be made until lat
Wednesday night or toward the en-
of the session Thursday morning.
That both houses will be in a
night session Wednesday is virtual
certain.
