APPETIZING AND
WHOLESOME DISHES
For the Sick and Convalescing.

One of the greatest problems in car
ing for the sick and convalescing is
the preparation of dishes which will
he both appetlzing and nutritious.
OF great value in this connection is
that wonderful food product known as
matted milk. \ good matted milk gives
comfort and a feeling of restfulness
to the invalid by supplying the weak
or diseased parts with the very food
they require. 1t contains in their Just
proportions the elements that supply
and rebuild wastes of tissue and nerve
force.
There is, however a great differ
ence in matted mllkS, and inferior
brands naturally cannot he depended
upon for the desired results.
1t will interest every user of matted
milk to know that The Grand Prize"
the highest possible award-at the
San Francisco Exposition has been
bestowed upon that famous brand
known the world over as "Borden's
Matted Milk in The Square Package
Furthermore. Borden'S is the only
matted milk disnensed at the soda
fountain concessions of both exposi-
tions.
Ncu cannot SO wrong, therefore. in
insisting upon Borden's. 1t can be
obtained al all coed druggists and

Thus the combined armies of Aus
tria and Germany pounded their way
toward Warsaw from the north and
south. Before this vast movement
the armies of Grand Duke Nicholas
were forced to give way.
BY July - the Germans had pushed
the Russians back to the inc OF tne
Narew river and were within 20
miles of Warsaw The forterss of
Ostrolenka was taken and the Novo
Georgievsk Notifications, the key to
Warsaw on the north. were ap-
preached. In the south the Russian
lines of communication in the Lublin
region were threatened.
Finally the Teutons forced then
way past the Blonie line, southwest
of the city, pushed across the river
Narrow below Ostrolenka and began
the great assault on Warsaw, which
fell into their hands August >.
Germany now made an offer of a
separate peace, but the Gar spurned
it, while the Grand Duke Nicholas
continued his magnificent retreat
across Poland.

their north and sout hforces together
like the jaws of some giant plncher.
/ So far Nicholas, by mastery re-
treats. has managed to cvade getting
caught in the mouth of the German
machine. but in doing SO has ben
forced to let important strongholds
fall to the Germans.
First Ivangorod and now Brest-
Litovsk across the Bug river, have
fallen, while further north Bielstok,
Ossowotz and kovno have been cap
turned, until now the Germans are
learing down on the Nieman river
and Grodno, the huge field headquar-
terS of the Russian army.
Germanys disastrous attempt to
storm the Gulf of Riga and land land
troops to back up her most northerly
line in Poland, which caused the loss
of II warships, may have some effect
on the continuance of the drive.
But it is more a question now
whether German efficiency will enable
her to face successfully the still long
drive across Poland and the rigors of
a winter campaign probably necessary
before she can pour troops into Pet
rograd and Moscow, or will the Rus
SLAMS, leading the enemy into a trap,
be able with the help of winter to
cut off and wipe out Ilindenburg's
armies.
The latter was the fate of Napol-
con in his campaign in 1872, which
strikingly resembles th5> of the Ger
mans today, even to the offering cp
peace terms after he had gained Rsu-
sian soil.
In May, los years ago, his negoti-
atio1S with Russia for an embargo on
England having failed, Napoleon be-
San his drive or Moscow He had
an army Of 100000, comparatively
small nowadays, but huge then, and
1900 cannon and $4,000 horses with
siege trains.
With his force divided into 5 groups
Napoleon operating from konigsberg
and kovno began pushing across Po-
, land while down in Galcia he was
assisted by an Austrian army. He
planned to march on Wilma and from
that point divide and demoralize the
Russian armies. but the Russians, out
numbered, frustrated his plan by re
treating.
The Russian generals of that day,
as Nicholas Is doing now, left nothing
behind them. Crops and towns were
turned and Napo!eons huge army,
unable to live on the country. had
to face the great problem of bring
ing up its own supplies.
Again and again the Russians re
fused to stand and give battle. and
meanwhile, as Napoleon got further
and further from his base, his army
suffered. Starving, sick and worm
out, his men died off 10y the thou
sand.
Finally Napoleon and his now bad
ly decimated army reached Moscow,
to find the city in flames. The Car
refused to treat with him. Winter
was approaching, there was danger
of his being cut off and finally to-
wards the end Of October Napoleon
was forced to begin the retreat from
Moscow that, between the rigors of
winter and the harassing attacks of
the Russians. practically wiped cut
his army and sent him in disguise to
Paris.

Rice received twelve votes and Albert Sheppard coralled ten.

 Rice, who is the youngest son of Mayor Rice is junior in the cont- mercial course in the school. He has since his entrance taken a deep inc terest in the athletic welfare of the school, taking an active part in foot ball and basketball work. Rice is . member of the Alpha Delta sigma fraternity and during the past season played at tackle for the football teepi.
 The following players voted: Bx- Capt. Oed, Capt.-elect Rice. Cronsn Cusanelli, Bartlett. Allen, Kligerinan. Ptte, McNamars, Hitchcock, sullivan, Ritchie, Cellantino. Fuller, McCnbs, Slayton, Jolinson, Fraser. Longenech- CT Malloy, Dow and Manager BoeDe.

Which was tipped yesterday through some remarks by former manager Tn the Eastern association. The plan
 IS to nave O'ROurke resign as presi- oent or the league, have Clarkin and
 carey relnstated in organized baseball and revive the old Eastern associa- tion with new leader. They argue that to allow this merger is unfair to Pittsfield, New London and Bridge port interests; that, by having O'Rourke resign. Carey and Clarkin should be satisfied winning that much of their fight, remains to president of the league and that no injury would be done to anybody. But they would entirely ignore the New England league, which now has been the most potent factor in bringing the merger proposition to head. All the signs point to decision in favor of the mer- ger at some time or other, but the merger decision will probably be made before the end of the week.
 If peace OVerturcs fail it may be q month or more before the mergerites can get decision, but in the end it is expected to be favorable to them. Hugh Duffy yesterday said that he did not see how the committee could do otherwise. The people in both cir cults have been clamoring for 1ner- ger, and if it does not go through all that is left for them to do is to fol- low in the footsteps of the Twin State league to play independent ball 1 and pick their players from the sand lots, as the public no longer has any faith in the Eastern association or the New England league. The investiga- l tion committee did not call in the mergerites, nor Jack Zeller at yes- 1 terday's meeting as they have heard | all sides of that story. Murnane Bar" row and Farrell, one after the other, l have held conferences with everyone l interested and know both sides of the case. They have not heard Jim
 O'Rourke's views, however, but it is expected that they will be able to lis- | ten to them at today's meeting. James
 H. Clarkin of Hartford, left for that
 city yesterday noon, and William F.. | Carey of Springfield left here late last
 night. Peiper and Duffy are still
 here, as are Zeller and McCann, and
 Joe Burns of Lewiston and they will
 all remain over until today's meeting

BOWLING IS KING
 OF WINTER SPORTS
Manager Rogers Has Put Hie Into
 Game in This City

The inclement weather of the past few days has had no tendency to les sen the interest in bowling, which has grown to be one of tine most popular winter sports in the city. Several years ago there was but one alley in the city, and but few participated in the games, but since Manager Rogers of the Aetna Alleys has taken hold Of the sport, it's rise has been meteoric. Clubs, factories, fraternal organiza- tions, churches, scribes and printers have become interested in the game and, any evening in the vicinity Of Church street a pedestrian may hear the steady crash of pins from early evening until late at night. Manager Rogers has proven to be the right man in the right place, and much Of the success of bowling is due to his efforts.
 The results of last evenings games in the Nut league and the Baraca Class league are as follows:

MERGER QUESTION
 DISCUSSED TO-DAY
Plan For Consolidation of N. E. League and Eastern Association
 May Go Through.

New York, Dec. 16.-Everything in baseball here is at a standstill, pend ing the receipt from Chicago of some word as to the view which the Ameri- can league will take toward the peace proposals of the National league and Federal league. Even the proposed merger of the New England league and Eastern association cities has been held up to see whether the dove of peace will actually alight, though that is not the reason which has been given out for a further postponement of the meeting. The investigation l committee, composed of Murnane, , Farrell and Barrow, got together late 1 yesterday afternoon and held a short session. They then decided to adjourn until this afternoon at 2:3O o'clock when it is expected that Jim O'Rourke president of the Eastern association, will be on hand and be heard by this ! committee.
 The committee stated that the post ponement was taken in order to give | O'ROurke a chance to be heard though 1 whether he really cares to give his 1 views to the committee is doubtful. He was wired Tuesday evening by Jack Zeller to come on to yesterday S meeting, and replied that it was inn possible, as the signals were all down, though people have been arriving here all hours yesterday from points as 1 far north as Boston. A further re- quest has been made of O'Rourke by Teller to attend today's meeting and the opponents of the merger hope to see him here today though he will l have to pay his own expenses for the 1 trip. However, it is really the ques~ tion of whether peace will be de- clared that is holding up the decision of the investigation committee. In the event that peace could not be affected the International league would still be in the position of seeking a city fof the Harrisburg club, and Barrow therefore, wants to keep his hold or the New England territory so as to be able to get Worcester, or ever Bridgeport, in such an event. But 2
 declaration of peace from Chicago
 will free Barrow from this position and there is not the slightest doub
 but that he will then be found 1T | back of the mergerites.
 Zeller and the opponents to the,
 merger have a plan up their sleeves

WILD BILL" HAS BIG
 CORPS OF TWIRLERS
They're Long and short, Fat and Thin, But Give Much Promise of
 Development.

New York, Dec. 16.-If size and number counts for anything, Manager Donovan of the Tanks will have the greatest pitching staff in the country next season. To date the High flanders have signed 22 pitchers. Six teen of them stand over six feet in their stocking feet. The tallest of the lot is "Slim" Love, a southpaw, who was drafted from the Los Angeles team of the Pacific Coast league. Love stands 6 feet7 1-2 inches, and is even taller than Carl Wellman, the portside finger of the St. Louis Browns. The smallest pitcher that Will be taken South by the High flanders next season is Ensign Cottrell, the southpaw who started the season with the Tanks last year, but was later loaned to Richmond. He is 5 feet, 9 1-2 inches.
 The other "midgets' of the Tanks pitching squad are: Bob Shawkey, , feet 10 inches; Ray Heating, feet II inches; Allen Russell, the spitball ar tist from the Richmond club, 5 feet II inches; Urban Shocker, a young ster drafted from the Ottawa club of the Canadian league, feet II inches, and Cliff Markle of the Waco club of the Texas league, 5 feet II inches. It can be seen from the list of pitchers that the Tanks have corraled for next season that Scout Joe Kelly did lot off work for his salary last year. The pitchers signed for next season come from all parts of the country, and even from across the Canadian border. The scouting net of the Tanks reached as far as the Pacific coast. Kelly made a trip out there just before the season closed end was greatly impressed by the ork of Love. The Los Angeles club wanted too much draft money for Love at that time, so draft was put in for him and he was finally awarded to the Highlanders. The following is a list of the pitchers signed for next

Was Charley Herzog," inquires Felix, "a better third baseman or Letter shortstop ' Herzog was the best third baseman in the game two years ago. For all-around value he had no equal. Last season he took his place as one of the best shortstops. The atmosphere was rife with praise for Bancroft and Maranville as won der workers, but Herzog was a more valuable man than either, for he was as good a fielder, better hitter and a better base runner. Certainly no man has ever played two positions with any better effect, unless it be Jack Barry.
