John Barleyccrn Knocks Out Base
hall Stars

In the current issue OF Farm and
Fireside are some interesting figures
showing the ravages worked by alco-
hol among the star players OF big
baseball leagues, These figures have
been gathered by Hugh 5. Fullerton.
Mr.. Fullerton purposely eliminated
the hard drinkers from his expert
ments; he confined himself to the
bottle of beer" man who thinks that
what he takes cannot possibly hurt
him.
He kept tab of the records and bat
ting averages of thirty.two moderate
drinkers and twenty-four players who
did not drink After eleven years
only two of the original thirty-two
drinking players are ON the diamond
while eight of the twenty-four non
drinkers are still playing. Further
more only five of the drinkers are
prosperous as opposed TO fourteen OF
the non-drinkers Six of the beer
contigent are down and out, eight
are dead. and one is missing-but
only three of the non-drinkers are
either dead or ruined, The non-drink
ers have won more games and pitch
ed more games, stolen more bases
and kept up better batting average,
although at the beginning OF the elev-
en- years the drinkers surpassed them.
The following table of batting aver
ages is given by Mr.. Fullerton:
1907 1908 1909 1910
Drinkers .246 .243 .2S6 .231
Non-drinkers 23S .240 .236 .231
1911 1912 1913 1914
Drinkers 1926 1921 221 .220
Non-drinkers .241 .243 240 PA
These figures seem remarkable to
me-, he says. They reveal the fact
that the drinkers were the better hit

tiers at the start that they declined
steadily i'll batting, while the non
drinkers not only held their pace, but
improved little, The figures show
the drinkers averages varied largely
each year. while the non-drinkers bat
ted within few points each season
of what they had done the previous
year The figures showed the non
drinkers were the more reliable men,
and to my surprise found that the
eight non-drinkers played in eight
and a fraction more games per seas
on than the eighteen drinkers did. -

SOME SIMPLE FOOD TESTS
How Ptomaine Poisoning Can Be
Avoided by Testing Contents OF

Chicory is not harmful and some

Of the coffee in glass; pour cold wa

If the coffee is pure the water will

Here is a good test for canned
foods: Put bright, clean steel knife

This check of yours" said the
large-hearted cashier to Brushly. the
impressionist painter, SIS drawn ex-
ceedingly well, and in composition
seems to be pretty nearly perfect; but
it lacks background, Mr.. Brushly. But
for that it would be a work of art.
Your foreground is charming, but just
a trifle towel, shall we say too
fanciful?"
Il don't know what you are driving
at" growled Brushly. Il suppose you
know what you mean, however. What
kind of a background would you sug-
gest?"
CASH" said the cashier. "A work
OF art like this, calling for the pay
ment of $50, is not wholly convincing
with a sketchy little overdraft Of $3.50
on deposit to provide the necessary
contrasts in light and shade and to
give the thing what we might call
balance"
Whereupon Brushly, like the self
respecting man he was, snapped his
fingers under the impudent fellow S
nose and transferred his overdraft to
the trust company across the street.
