The Fraternal Order of Eagles teaches philosophy which is as et- ernal as is divine truth. and wherever it's doctrines has been promulgated, it has found a responsive echo in the hearts of men. It represents in the. highest form yet devised in the mind of man, the true Dmocracy of Frater- nalism. Its creed is simple, and in it there arc no patricians nor plebeians Each Eagle, wherever located, is the equal of every other. There is en- braced within the circle of it's fraternity humanity in all its phases, and no man in whose soul there is yet remaining one spark of manhood is denied it's benign influence. We recognize that in every man there is some good, and we seek to develop that good until it shall bear good fruit in the better ment and uplifting of mankind in gen. eral

Marjorie turned away to hide the
trembling of her lips. 1t was not all

brought tears into her eyes just then.

Various doctors, among them many
specialists, were called as witnesses
in a case in a San Francisco court
with view to ascertaining what
killed q woman whose death was in
question in an insurance litigation.
They all testified they had examined
the woman professionally, and the con-
sensus Of opinion was that the dead
woman had suffered from an affection
of the liver which caused that organ to
shrink materially.
The last doctor on the witness stand
was a young hospital inferno. He
testified that instead Of shrunken liver
the dead woman had an abnormally
enlarged liver.

For Workina Mothers

In order to enable the creches of
Paris to carry out their work more
effectively the municipal council pro-
poses to subsidize them in more gen.
erous manner than heretofore. The
creches-numbering 60-have done a
great deal toward lessening infant
mortality. They now propose to hold
medical consultations, increase the sup
ply of milk to mothers and babies, and
also to establish special "salles," where
working mothers can look after their
own infants.-Frederick Morris, Secre.
tary of the Marylebone Branch Of the

TURKS ADOPT MODERN IDEAS
Scientific and Literary Interests Are
Being Promoted by Ottoman
Schools and Press.

An interesting guide to the ten
dency of modern Turkish ideas and
thought may be had from perusal
of the lists of new publications in the
Turkish language. One will at once
observe the large number Of transla-
tons and adaptations Of European SCI
entific and literary work and books Of
a popular nature. There are treatises
on medicine, surgery, law, chemistry,
physics, military science and even ae-
ronautics. There are also large
number of independent publications
by Turkish authors on these and 9TH
er modern topics. Text books for
use in Turkish schools are prepared to
meet the needs Of modernized cur
riculum. Instead of merely reading
the fables and historical stories the
modern Turkish schoolboy uses
graded reading books prepared in ac-
cordance with the latest pedagogic
ideas.
Standard works of European litera-
ture are being translated into Turkish,
and modern popular novels, principally
French, have large scale OF
purely American literature little has
been translated, but the American de.
tective stories are finding great ia.
vor among Turkish youth.
There is also growing modern
Turkish literature which aims to fos.
ter Turkish patriotism and love for
the Osmanli language. Several illus
trated magazines are published regu
larly. Excellent new editions, well
illustrated, Of some Of the Turkish
classics are also published to retain
the interest in these works.

AXE SWINGS ON
VETERANS OF CUBS
Leach, Stack, Sweeney and
Smith Are Trimmed
from Payroll.

Chicago. Feb 13.-The first swing
of the axe that must reduce within
the time limit the Chicago National
League clubs roster to twenty-one
players resulted to-day in the uncon-
dtional release of four players.
Tommy Leach, Ed. Stack, Bill Sweeney
and Charley Smith. A dozen more
must be sent TO the minors or used
in trades, and it was said tonight
that several will be let out before
the training season begins.
A difference over the salary ques-
tion led to Leach's release, while it
was also said he was disappointed at
not being appointed successor to Hank
O'Day. Leach wanted $4,000 a year
only $4,000. Leach came to the Chi
cago Nationals with Lefty Leifeld in
the trade that took Holman and Cole,
the pitcher, TO Pittsburgh.
Sweeney was given to the Cubs as
part solace for the loss Of Johnny
Evers, who, ousted as manager by c.
w. Murphy, declined to play with his
team, and was signed by Boston.
Sweeney's work was disappointment
to the club last season. Waivers were
asked last year on Smith, 1t is under
stood, but the club finally decided 70
retain him. Stack made his big league
debut with the Cubs, later played with
Philadelphia and Brooklyn, and re-
turned here.
James Sheckard, former Cub, and
last year manager Of the Cleveland
American Association team, probably
will work as q scout for the local club,
il was said to-day.

Tip to Player

It would be more than foolish to attempt to blame
anv ball player for gathering all the money he is able
to gather The player in this respect has had the whip
hand for the last year.
But here is another point, with increased salaries
the average athlete might well consder-last
not over so per cent Of those engaged made any attempt
n give their best services all the year At least 80 per
cent were careless and Indifferent in training and in
action They gave, the average, the worst exhibit
t;or of baseball that the game has known for long
time In many ways entirely too many of them lowered
the standard of big league play.
