Q. Does it make any difference if
macaron is put on to cook in cold water

nutritious product is obtained by cooking
the macaroni in rapidly boiling salted
water. Not less than quart of water
should be used to pound of the maca-
ROM. Ii cooked from cold water, a pasty,
unappetizing mass is apt to result
Q. On an exclusive diet of macaroni,
such as some Italians have, do men and
women develop as great capacity for
work as those who have more varied
and mixed diet? Mrs. X. w. j.
A. The Italians do not live exclusively
upon macaroni. They supplement this
and other edible pastes with generous
assortment OF fruits, oils and vegetables,
and eggs, cheese, etc.
1t is as far from the truth to say the
Italians live on macaroni as to say that
the New Englanders live on pie.
A mixed diet chosen with reference to
the individual and his work is generally
productive of the best results.

OF the American Ass n. league Will
perform in Toledo instead of the
Sixth City," The only condition
imposed on Manager Somers by the
Toledo fans, is team that will win
half their games, or in other words,
finish the season in the first division.
AS this condition has been complied
with SO far there appears to be no
reason why the next home series
should not take place at Toledo.
The change should prove of great
financial benefit to the club, for if
one were to Judge the attendance by
the opening days tally when it was
less than 1000. Cleveland is certain
ly over stocked with bal. clubs.
The Kansas City club have inau-
gurated new variety of free base
ball. On opening day there was a
coupon attached to the tickets, good
for admission to the next game. This
plan is to be kept up turnout the
season. Thus regular fan in K.C.
will see half the games gratis.
The Mpls. club has made good
showing so far, being third in the
league. Their battery would be hard
to beat and the out-feld. where they
were considered weak is rapidly be-
ing whipped into shape. We may
have the pleasure of seeing the Mil
lers come out on top.
The Saints did not make a very
good showing at the start, losing
their first two games, but since then
they have carried off all the honors,
being tied with Indianapolis for first
place.
Indianapolis has played good ball
from the break and will undoubted-
ly be pennant contender thru
out the season, as their club has not
as yet shown weak spot.

=. BASEBALLITIS =,
By T. W. L.

The inmates of this institution en-
joyed their second base ball game of
the season Saturday last. The wealth
err was all that could be desired and
there were very few absentees.
The game was between two nine's
picked from among the inmates and
was we'll contested from the start.
altho at one time it looked as tho
the first nine was going to have it all
their own way.
Luck favored the second nine and
they went to the bat first, but it was
all off with old man luck and them;
from then on, the first two batsmen
up were famed and the third man
was only able to pop an easy fly that
was easy for the first sacker; thus
their luck ran from one innings to
the next. until the seventh, when by
supreme effort they managed to
score single which was sufficient
to wake them up. for they came back
in the eighth and annexed five more.
The umpire, thru an oversight, was
partly responsible for one of these
runs, as he failed to call time while
the play was delayed and base run
ner who was wide awake came home.
The seconds failed to tally again tho
they had the long end at the slab.
The boys of the first nine started
out from the opening of the game to
win aud they certainly did some
pretty work, getting their runs thru
hard play and bead work, tallying
twice in the first, once in the third,
repeated this performance in the six
tn and added two more in the eighth,
but tho they tried hard were unable
to score again and the game finished
with tie score.
The game as whole was a pitch
er's battle, but at times the felders
did some very good work. We shall
only need few more games such as
last Saturdays and then the Prison
team will be ready to meet all COM
ers.
