Concession Given
Chicago. Jan. 2S.-The American
Association has taken another big
step-the biggest so far in its prog
ress towards the high places of
baseball according to President
Chiyington. who said today that
the association has gained from the
National commission tie promise
! that the major leagues power Of
draft over it will be given up.
In addition, the commission has
agreed to grant the association thu
right to enter certain cities now in
the American or National league and
will turn over number of players.
The concession. which was first
announced by President McGill. Of
the Indianapolis club, makes the
association practically major
league so far as draft is concerned.
Mr.. Chivington said What other
differences il will make in inter
league relations will be arranged BY

who at a breakfast party sat next

THE LAST SPECk.

There has always been a discus
sion among the wise ones as to
there being gold in the ocean; in
fact, there have been companies
formed to get it out of the ocean,
and there are companies that get
gold out Of passengers. There Is
one good thing about ocean travel
there is no dust.
After you get through tipping
everything from the rudder &c the
bowsprit, you are entirely free from
dust.

Chamberlain's Collie, Cholera and

Few medicines have met with
more favor of accomplished more
good than Chamberlain Collie,
Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy.
From a small beginning its sale and
use has extended to all parts of
the United States and to many for
eign countries. Everywhere it has
received unstinted praise. We con-
fidently believe that it has rellev-
de more pain and suffering and
saved the lives of more people than
any other one preparation in use.
One or two doses of it is enough to
relieve an ordinary attack OF collie
or diarrhoea. 1t has been used in
MANY epidemics of dysentery with
perfect success. 1t is especially val

children. Every family should keep

"Contagious diseases are more
common than supposed, due to the
fact that such cases are never put
under the doctors care until the
termination of the disease. The
people are afraid of the red signs

objects to boarders in quarantined
homes. The boarders are absolute
ly necessary to keep the family, so
the risk is taken of losing the

I General health conditions are
bad, according to Miss Windette,
one of the important causes being
the overcrowding of homes, espe-
cially in bed rooms. Much sickness
is avoided because the people live
outdoors the greater part OF the
time except in the most severe
weather.
TT is sometimes argued" says
the port, that, although individual
suffering indicated by the high
mortality rate is considerable, II
is not without advantage as far as
groups are concerned. When the
law of the survival of the fittest is
allowed to operate, only the sound
and healthy children develop II
must be remembered that the same
condition which takes life from one
infant seriously enfeebles another. y
Wages paid for unskilled labor
says Miss Windette, "are insuftl-
cient to provide food, shelter, and
clothing adequate to maintain a
family of moderate size in state
of physical efficiency"
The modern buildings now being
erected in the poorer districts, she
declares, will make the worst kind
