LABOR AND RECREATION.
All Work and No Play Produces the
Fatigue That Poisons.

All Work and No Play Produces the
Fatigue That Poisons.
Men and women come In the morn
ing to their tasks with a spring Of
fresh energy within them. Little by
little during the hours Of labor they
empty that spring. When it Is dry
they must draw from forces which
should be untouched. By some strange
chemistry which no one understands
too well these intrusions on the phys
ical forces which should be inviolate
produce in the human system a true
toxic condition-fatigue poison, auto
poison the scientists call it.
If this fatigue poison passes a point
where the period Of rest following is
not equal to the task Of throwing it of
and filing afresh the spring Of energy,
the man goes back to his toll little
unit; the longer he goes on the more
unfit he becomes. Slowly the poison
invades his system. The repairing
forces-food, relaxation, pleasures and
sleep-become less and less equal to
the task. The man becomes more and
more open to the attack Of disease;
less and less able to do his work; un-
fit to improve upon it; unable to grow.
He is an unsafe man, too. one not to be
trusted among machines in dangerous
places. The man has been poisoned
into unfltness by the slow accumula-
tion Of fatigue poison which he could
not throw of.
1t was not work which did this. 1t
was too much work. He needed the
work to keep him 1T Without it or its
equivalent, a regular physical exercise.
tlis spring Of energy would have as
surely deteriorated as it did from over
work. The spring Of energy standing
idle would have soured within him.

PETROGRAD.i march 11.-Eyents in
Poland during the past twenty-four
hours have assumed quite different
complexion as the result of German
troop movements directed against
Urzasnysz, where a recent offensive eff
fort met decided defeat, and attention

Won Hindenburg has again been heav-

movement of greater proportions than
that so definitely checked during last
week has been inaugurated by the
German commander.
An important battle is under way
this morning in the vicinity of Pilica,
the battle line stretching for miles
along the Narew river, where engage
ments Of more or less consequence
have been reported, with neither army
scoring important success. The Rus
sian positions before Pilica are report

That is if the fans will live up to
the confidence placed in them by the
board of directors of the Americas
club
Yesterday the board refused to sur
render its franchise, despite the fact
that interest in baseball seemed to be
at low ebb. Incidentally, they sign
ed John Wagnon to manage the 1915
club.
John has already gotten busy send
ing out contracts to ball players. For
the newly elected manager wants
winner. When the season opens he
expects to have club on hand that
will make the other teams hustle for
the rag.
Despite pessimistic bowls that the
fans would not contribute to fund to
start the ball rolling the directors have
gotten busy and are circulating
contribution list. They have met with
success so far and up to noon today
had $500 in sight. With this as a
nest egg, they hope to be able to raise
the remainder and have things ready
for the first of the season.
So again it's up to the fans. The
directors believe the fans will help.
They have notified President Jemison
that they will not allow the sale of the
franchise.
Americas is in the league to stick.
That means it's up to every fan to
help by contributing.

the area of operations this morning.
and airmen attached to the attacking
squadron have been unable to def
nitely ascertain the damage sustained
by the forts.
During last night, the Turkish gun
ners replied briskly to the fire of the
warships, without inflicting serious
damage, this return fire continuing
until early morning when several of
the batteries became noticeably weak,
and it is believed numerous large
calibre guns have been so badly dam
aged as to make them useless. Turk
ish troops occupying positions upon
the peninsula of Gelipoli continue to
be bombarded by warships stationed
in the Gulf of Xeros, as we'll as those
within the narrows of the Dardanelles.
The withdrawal of English vessels
heretofore leading the attack upon the
Turkish defenses is not taken to indi-
cate any relaxation on the part Of the
allied forces in their effort to reduce
the Dardanelles Notifications, and is
most probably explained by the neces-
sity of securing fresh supplies of am
munition and other stores. The Brit
ish naval base at Malta is well stocked
with such shells and ammunition as
is being used by both French and En-
glish warships in the present opera
tions, and the British vessels, it is
believed, have proceeded there to re-
plenish their depleted stores.
