you consider the one best line in the Ian

There isn't any one best line that we
ever heard Of And then again lot o. 1t

Here is a good Low-Brow choice:
"FIit 'em where they amt"
"You can't get no base hits with your

Hit the line hard"

"a simple liar is he who says he can bet
one way and root another"

Apparently, they were stawarts be-

NO AMERICAN LEAGUE CLUB
WILL REQUIRE 100 VICTORIES
TO CAPTURE FLAG THIS YEAR
Red SoX and Tigers Passed Century Mark in 1915,
But Team That Wins 80 This Season
Will Triumph, Says Rice
BY GRANTLAND RICE

At THIS date just n year ago the Tigers
n and the Red Sox were starting their
big drive which swept them far on beyond
tho reeling White Sox and which carried
both clubs far into the lead.
The two clubs fought along at almost
even terms. At the end of the year Boston
had won 1O3 games and Detroit had put
away 100 victories. They were the class of
the league.
For 1916 Boston lost Iris Speaker, the
clubs leading star Moreover, Boston had
several of her best pitchers in poor shape
for the better part of the first two months
The Tigers were not weakened by the loss
of any star. Apparently the clubs strength
was about the same.
Yet Boston. minus Speaker, has done
far better than her main rival of year
ago. Detroit won 100 games last season.
She will have to arise and move at top
speed to win 90 this year. With only 62
games left the Tigers must win more than
40 victories to reach the 80 mark. There
is hardly chance in the world they Will
bag another 100. To do this they would
need an average spin of FIVE out of six until
october. But no club will require 100 VIC
tories TO achieve an American League
triumph this coming fall. The ball club
that can gather in 90 victorious starts VIII
have all the chance there is to meet National
League competition for the main prize at
the end of the highway.

MAKE BACK YARD ATTRACTIVE
Cost Need Not Be Great If a Little
Care Is Given to Proper
Expenditure.

Why not mako the back yard just
tive, than Is the front lawn? It can
easily be done and at very small ex-
pense. Instead Of piles Of rubbish. an
unsightly ash barrel or two, q more
msightly garbage receiver, unsightly
clothes-line poles, etc, take a little
time and spend q little money and
make the back yard lawn or garden
a place upon which you will like to
pass a portion Of every day.
First, by an underground garbage re-
ceiver, which is sanitary, does not
take up space in the yard, keeps away
rodents, and is a permanent invest
ment. The cover operates by SIM
pie foot trip, blessing for the wom-
enfolks.
Keep the ash barrels in the cellar
or under the piazza, where they may
be screened from sight.
Then, instead of the clothesline
poles, bare and dirty, build a pergola
around them and cover it with climb
ing vines which will keep green all
summer; this will cost only few dol
lars, and will add hundreds of dol
lars worth to the beauty of the back
yard.
Then, IL you have two or three
shade trees there-and if you have
not, you had better have some trans
planted at once-build around each
one rustic seat; this you can do
yourself at the expense of only a
pound or two of nails and a few
hours Of work cutting the sticks which
you will need from some nearby
grove.

PATRIOTISM

A nation is made great, not by It's
fruitful acres, but by the men who
cultivate them; not by its great for
ests, but by the men who use them;
not by its mines, but by the men
who work in them; not by its rail-
ways, but by the men who build and
run them. America was a great land
when Columbus discovered it; Ameri-
cans have made of it a great nation.
In 1875 our fathers had a vision
of a new Nation Conceived in lib
erty and dedicated to the proposition
that all men are created equal"
Without an army they fought the
greatest of existing world empires
that they might realize this vision. A
third of a century later, without
navy they fought the greatest navy
in the world that they might win for
their nation the freedom of the seas.
Half century later they fought
through an unparalleled Civil war
that they might establish for all time
on this continent the inalienable
right of life, liberty, and the pursuit
of happiness. A third of century
later they fought to emancipate an
oppressed neighbor, and, victory
won, gave back Cuba to the Cubans,
sent an army of schoolmasters to
educate for liberty the FiIipinos,
asked no war indemnity from their
vanquished enemy, but paid him lib
orally for his property. Meanwhile
they offered land freely to any farm
er who would live upon and cult
vate it, opened to foreign immigrants
on equal terms the door of industrial
opportunity, shared with them poIiti-
cal equality, and provided by univers-
al taxation for universal education.
The cynic who can see In this his
tory only theme for his egotistical
satire is no true American, whatever
his parentage, whatever his birth
place. He who looks with pride up
on this history which his fathers
have written by their heroic deeds,
who accepts with gratitude the in
heritance which they have be-
queathed to him, and who highly re-
solves to preserve this inheritance
and to pass it on to his
descendants enlarged and enriched,
is a true American, be his birthplace
or his parentage what it may.-Ly-
man Abbott.

OLD LADY
FEELING fine


Golden, nl.-"Having used Cardui,
the woman's tonic, in my family, for .
number Of years." writes Mrs. Kate
Metz, Of this town, "and always with
such good results, feel it my duty to
write you about it, so that you may
publish my letter.
My mother is living with me, and
she is So years old. For the last three
or four years, she has been troubled .
great deal with cramping spells, and
for days at a time, she would have .
severe headache.
She read of how much Cardu has
helped other women who were sick
and ailing, and decided to give it a
trial. She began taking it three times
a day, and since then has been getting
along simply fine.
Mother only used four bottles OF
Cardui, but she is no longer troubled
with the severe headaches, and her
stomach is so much stronger that she
can eat most anything.
We both feel that any lady who is
not strong and well, would be greatly
benefited by the use Of Cardui."

DECORATOR MUST BE ARTIST
Is Compelled to Have Wide knowI-
edge to Practice Profession
These Days.

Formerly the decorator or painter
merely had to deal with colors and
paints, and use them to the best ad-
vantage. Nowadays a decorator is
compelled to have knowledge of the
several branches in rugs, furnishings
and draperies, their adaptation, selec-
ton and utility, and even the plaster
ing branch Of building construction,
advising for rough or smooth plaster,
relief or stucco work. carpenter or
cabinet work, says the Real Estate
Magazine. He must make himself
familiar with all these things in or
der to carry out his scheme and pro-
duce the effects which he may desire
to produce in the respective rooms of
the modern house.
The decorating. and, to some ex.
tent, the furnishing, has become al
most as much part Of his calcula-
ton and work as the mere painting
He must make his interiors handsome
and inviting. The tenant when nego.
tiating for a first-class house Is no
longer content with bare, white walls
and plain floors. The demand in such
cases is for house that is finished
according to the modern idea. Like
everything else in building construc.
ton, these perplexities are turned over
to the architect to solve, but the mod.
ern metropolitan owner or manager
must take them into his business

FREE TEXTBOOKS IN Is STATES

An interesting bulletin upon the
subject of Fee Text Books and
State Uniformity" has been issued by
the United States Bueau of Educa-
ton.
An Introduction by P. P. Claxton,
commissions of education, says the
total value of all textbooks manufac-
tured and sold in this country is
about IS million dollars year, and
the cost of those used by the children
in the public, elementary and higher
schools some Is million dollars a
year, an average of about eighty
cents for each child.
On this showing, the cost of text
books approximate per cent of the
total cost of the public schools.
The bulletin is the work of A. c..
Monahan of the bureau, who strong
ly favors the free textbook system.
There are fifteen states in which free
textbook laws are in force.
The author says the movement for
free textbooks is logical part of the
system of free education common in
this country, in which compulsory
education laws have been enacted in
all the importance of good books Sc
lected by competent authority for
school use, to be in the hands of all
children, rich and poor alike. And

DISEASE CARRIERS.

Little seems to have been proved con-
cerning the ways in which infantile
paralysis is transmitted. In the mean
time 1t behooves everybody to be very
careful and to take every sane precau-
tion against transmitting or contract
ing the disease.
Animals and insects have had many
diseases laid at their door. 1t has been
proved that many insects are real dan,
gers. Mosquitoes carry malaria and
flies carry typhoid. Rats harbor the
fleas that carry bubonic plague. And
cats and dogs are said to be carriers Of
many contagious diseases.
In some places there are regulations
in the sanitary code forbidding the
presence Of any dog or cat In the room
where persons i'll from smallpox. scar
let fever, diphtheria. measles and other
contagious diseases are confined.

are in effect, you should make 1t a
household law of your own that all pet
animals should be kept away from

keep your own animals at home, and
II by chance they do get away have
them washed carefully with some anti
septic soap on their return home.
Children should, of course. be taught
to love dogs and cats. but they should
also be taught not to allow the animals
to touch them with the tongue. Many
we'll bred animals are vigorously taught
not to lick the hand that pets them. and
almost any animal can be taught this
bit of mannerly observance.
Animals are much healthier II they
are made to sleep In places specially
set apart for them A kennel outdoors
for sturdy dogs, or a bed in a well
aired hallway for those of less resist
ance and for cats, should be provided
and animals should never be allowed
to share a human sleeping room.

1t be bad or good. AS Peter finished,
one by one the birds turned away their
heads and began to shake all over. Just
as Jenny Wren had done. He had ex-
pected that the other birds would feel
badly when they learned what had
happened to Sooty, but he had not ex-
pected that they would feel as badly as
they seemed to. They must have
thought great deal of Sooty, thought
Peter; and his own eyes filled with
tears.
"Chitter chitter chitter chit-chit!
What is going on here?" If Peter had
stepped on something red hot he
couldn't have jumped higher or farther
"Chitter- -chitter- -chitter- -chit-chit! What
Is all this fuss about?"
There could be but one voice ike
that Peter looked up. Overhead, cir
cling, diving, racing, was little dark
bird with narrow, stiff wings. 1t was
Sooty the Swift. There could be no
doubt about 1t. for there is no one at
all like him. Hastily Peter glanced at
his neighbors. They were still shak-
ing. but it wasn't with grief. No, sir,
1t wasn't with grief. They were shak-
ing with laughter!
"Oh, you stupid. stupid Peter cried
Jenny Wren, when she could get her
voice. "Sooty was just going to bed
when YOU saw him. He lives In that
chimney. Wherever have your eyes
been that you never have seen him go
down there before? Oh, dear! oh, dear!
was there ever such a joke?"
And all the other birds agreed that
there never was.
