Defining a Gentleman.

The true gentleman Is the man whose conduct proceeds from good will and an acute sense of proprlety ana whose self control is equal to all emer- gencies; who does not make the poor man conscious of his poverty, the ob- scure man of his obscurity or any man of his inferlority or deformity; who is himself humbled if necessity compels him to humble another; who does not hatter wealth, cringe before power or boast of his own possessions or achievements; who speaks with frankness, but always with sincerity and sympathy, and whose deed follows his word; who thinks of the rights and feelings of others rather than of his own; who appears well in any cont pany and who k at home what he seems to be abrond-a man with whom honor is sacred and virtue safe.-Dr. Wayland.

MENTAL STRAIN IN BASEBALL
Considerable Nerve Required to Face
Pitcher With Fast Ball, Says
Former Varsity Guard.

A group of former varsity football
players were arguing the interesting
point as to which requires more nerve
on the part of participants, football or
baseball? One would think there
would not be dissenting voice to the
opinion that the gridiron sport re-
quires far more nerve. Yet there were
several who strenuously debated this
contention, holding that the mentaN
strain was greater upon the man who
plays baseball.
81 played varsity baseball and varsity
football" said one man of the group,
"and l want to tell you that the only
time ever felt inward tremors was
when | stood at the plate facing a
pitcher who had fast ball. There is
something about the situation-or all
WAYS was to me-which made me feel
my helplessness, made me feel at the
mercy of the pitcher, or rather at the
mercy of his possible bad aim. In foot
ball you were fighting against one man
and he had nothing to throw at you.f
81 feel the same way" chimed in q
former varsity guard. when came
from prep school / had reputation
as a pitcher, but l never tried for the
team because I hadn't the nerve 70
face the shoots of varsity pitchers
The curious thing is that this man was
in his day one of the most daring ana
resourceful backs playing the game.

OUTLOOK FOR 1915 is DARK
Program of Sporting Events for Year
Seems Rather Flat Compared
With Last Season.

Compared with the prospects of
year ago the program Of sporting
events for the coming year seems
rather fiat and tame. There will be
no Davis Cup tennis, no internation-
al polo, little international golf, no
return of the Harvard university crew
to defend the laurels won in English
rowing, and there is little prospect Of
a race for the Americas Cup.
1t is true that a sudden cessation
Of hostilities would make possible the
resumption of Sir Thomas Lipton's
campaign on comparatively short no
tice, and that the National Lawn Ten
mis- association has taken the prelim-
mary steps necessary to insure its
right to challenge i'll case the war sud.
denly ceases; but there is little pros
pect that 1t will cease.
The high lights of the 1914 athletic
season emphasized such spectacular
happenings on the international hori.
zon as Ouimet's visit to France and
England, Lord Wimborne's spectacu-
lar polo campaign, and the gathering
of the tennis cracks of all nations to
play in the U. S., which will not be
repeated for many day. Never
theless, there is every reason to ex-
pect a year of development in active
outdoor life, the greatest which has
been recorded in this country.

QUIT MEAT IF KIDNEYS
BOTHER AND USE SALTS
Take a Glass of Salts Before Break.
fast II Your Back Is Hurting or
Bladder Is lrritated.

If you must have your meat every
day, eat it, but flush your kidneys with
salts occasionally, says a noted author
ity who tells us that meat forms uric
acid which almost paraly2es the kid
neys in their efforts to expel it from
the blood. They become sluggish and
weaken, then you suffer with a duh
misery in the kidney region, sharp
pains in the back or sick headache,
dizziness, your stomach sours, tongue
is coated and when the weather is bad
you have rheumatic twinges. The
urine gets cloudy, full of sediment, the
channels often get sore and irritated,
obliging you to seek relief two or
three times during the night
To neutralize these irritating acids,
to cleanse the kidneys and flush off
the body's urinous waste get four
ounces of Jad Salts from any phar-
macy here; take a tablespoonful in a
glass of water before breakfast for a
few days and your kidneys will then
act fine. This famous salts is made
from the acids of grapes and lemon
juice, combined with lithia, and has
been used for generations to flush and
stimulate sluggish kidneys also to
neutralize the acids in urine, so it no
longer irritates, thus ending bladder
weakness.
Jad Salts is inexpensive: cannot in
jure, and makes a delightful efferves'
cent Whitewater drink.-Adv.

BEAUTY is POCKETBOOK DEEP
Fussing Ability, Not Looks, Will De-
termine Kansas University
Queens.

There is really nothing to girls
credit" Mrs. Eustace Brown, adviser
of women says, "if she is elected as
one of the five beauties in the Jay
hawkers beauty contest. 1t simply
means that the man with whom she
goes most has a great deal Of power
among his friends and fraternity
brothers, and can buy them off to vote
for his girl.
THE girl may not even be espe-
cially pretty, but that is only a trife.
If she is electioneered for hard enough,
who knows. She might get the place
above some far prettier girl.
"It is the same old question of poll
tics over again-buying votes, run
ming the political machine. and so
forth"
The 975 girls who were not elected,
therefore, should not feel badly. They
may be just as pretty, but the power
behind the throne was lacking, ac-
cording to Mrs. Brown.-University

Increase In Salaries.

Has anyone ever stopped to con-
slider how baseball salaries have
grown? Noted authorities here have
taken the trouble to point out that
Walter Johnson's salary next year will
aggregate the total salary paid to the
Philadelphia inf1eld and outfield play
ers some fifteen years ago. 1t is
shown by statistics that the sum OF
$4,000 was paid to Douglas, Lajoie,
Cross, Lauder, Delehanty, Cooley and
Thomas. Eddie Collins and Ty Cobb
will get an even greater salary than
Johnson according to the dope.
