plate the fact that in just 81 days the
Cubs will be headed for Tampa, Fla,
the spring training grounds, to pre-
pare 1or the 1916 pennant dash. And
there is food for further happy cogi-
tation in the fact that in "a days the
pennant season will be shot open on
the North Side, with Cincinnati prob
ably the first National Lacquer to in
wade the former stronghold of the
Federal league.
The contract Charley Thomas had
drawn up with the Tampa people for
the Cubs could not be broken and
Charley Weeghman says his squad
will start for Florida March 5.
Second base has been plugged by
the purchase of Steve Yerkes for
$4,000 from the Pittfeds. Steve made
an excellent record in the third
league, both as a fielder and batter.
His acquisition will leave Rollie
Zeider free for utility duty, and he is
capable of filing any of the four
places on the infeld.
Yerkes did we'll in the American
league for some time, but was about |
out of favor with the Red Sex man
agement when he leaped to the Feds. |
He should have little difficulty play
ing in the National, and still has
plenty of speed and intelligence.
Jess Willard has at last connected
with a Freddie Welsh proposition. |
Tex Rickard, who promoted the
Jeffries-Johnson fight, has offered |
SAT, 0e9 for a ten-round fight in New
York, March 8, between Willard and
Frank Moran, $4,000 to go to the
champion and the remainder to
Moran. gs
This Is a swollen sum for ten
rounds of endeaVor, and there is lit
tie doubt that the two men will jump
at it. Neither has signed articles yet,
but each has indicated willingness
to do so if the money is actually put
up.

entertainment, even to the extent of
being stung considerably. The sum
is away too big for any man to get
for ten rounds.
Moran has gained a large follow
ing in New York through his two
victories over Jim Coffey and would
undoubtedly get good play from
the betting public.
Tom Jones, manager of Willard,
says he will not match his man be-
fore April, but it is not likely Tom
VIII pass up a crack at $4,000 if he
actually sees the coin.

ITALIAN SOLDIERS SEND
HOME LARGE AMOUNTS

HEADQUARTERS OF THE ITAL-
IAN ARMY. Oct 26.-The soldiers
each month send home to their fam
lilies out of their pay four and a quar-
ter million dollars, according to the
army postoffice statistics. This fact is
attributed to the economic disposition
of the individual soldier and also to the
abundant army ration which makes it
unnecessary for him to buy private
supplies of wine, tobacco, or food

The total cost of the daily war zone
ration is about rs cents, according TO
the changes in the wholesale market
prices. But the high cost of living felt

tity allotted the soldier.
The total quantity of the ration is
! $3.50 grams or slightly over -four
pounds, with an additional allowance
Of 300 grams during periods of hard
work or fighting. The daily bread of
the soldier weighs one and one half
pounds, with two pounds on specia!
occasions. His daily drink consists o.
half pint of wine, with full pint in

labor.
The other items in his ration are

CHINA SORE Of NEW
JAPANESE OFFICIAL

PEKING, Oct. 26.-China's appoint.
ment of Major-General Aoki as first
class military advisor to the Chinese
government has provided much COM
lhent in the Chinese press, and comes
as a great surprise to foreigners uy-
ing in China. Major General Aoki will
receive a salary of two thousand dol.
lars Mexican per month, together with
an allowance for travelling expenses.
Commenting sarcastically upon the
appointment, the Picking Daily News
stys: 1--WE heartily thank our jap
anese neighbor for lending the services
Of so valuable general of the Jap
anese army to China for the reorgar-
ization of the Chinese army. The next
step is the purchase of at least half OF
the arms and ammunition required by
the Chinese army from Japan, or The
establishment of a Sino-J Japanese ars-
enal in this country under Japanese
control as demanded by Japan last
year, but refused by the late President
Yuan Shi-kai even under the threat Of
an ultimatum delivered at Picking on
May Z, 1916"
When Major-General Aoki was as
signed to Shanghai as an attache OF
the Japanese consulate there in the
heat of the recent revolutionary trou-
BILE, many Chinese papers charged that
he was the forerunner of a japanese
military movement designed to control
the Yangtse Valley, and his employ
ment as an adviser to the Chinese gov
eminent is regarded with great APP
prehension by Chinese journals which
demand information as to why China
should place ITSELF in Japanese hands
by the employment of the distinguish
ed Japanese officer.
MAJOR Aoks was the COM
mandant at Port Arthur in the Russo
japanese war, and is probably the
lnost famous soldier in Japan. He IS
ifty-seven years old, and has Travelled
much in Europe. On several occasions
he has been attached to the Japanese
legation at Picking, and is an expert in
Chinese art.

WAR THREATENS TO BE FIGHT
AMONG MERE BOYS SOON

LONDON. Oct 26.-The war threa;-
ems soon to become struggle between
mere boys. The pace is said to be ell
tirely too fast for the older men long
to endure.
1t is declared here that next year
the Entente Allies will be facing boys
of II in the German army.
General Sir Douglas Haig, com
handing the British expeditionary off,
ces, is said to have objected to the
sending out of men of middle age. He
wants young men of from Is to %. AZ
ter the latter year it is said the fight
ing value of the human unit shows a
rapid and steady decline.
The good soldier of today it seems
must be of the age which excels in the
more strenuous athletic games-the
football player type. The older men
have their place, but generally speak
ing it is said now to be in "the army
behind the army"-the men back Of
the line, in the supply and transport
divisions where the strain is not so
great. These older men are too sus-
ceptible to trench disease to be Of
great use on the firing line.
England already is registering boys
born in 1899 preparatory to calling
them up when they attain their eigh-
tenth year.

MUCH MONEY GOING IN
THE SOUTH THESE DAYS

COLUMBUS, Ca, Geo. 26.-The In
dustrial Index says in its issue for
this week:
There is great volume of bust
ness in the Southeast, with a great
amount Of money in circulation. Many
different sources of revenue have been
yielding largely, business is excellent
in various lines, payrolls are greater
in the aggregate than ever before, per-
haps, and the season is proving as
good as was anticipated-in many re-
spects better.
1t is felt that prosperity has just
made a beginning, and that, with a
substantial foundation, it will be con-
tinuous. Next year, it is expected,
will be the best business year the
South has ever known. And there are
good reasons for the belief.
THE erection of many residences is
typical Of the growth of this section.
A company at Miami, Fla, that owns
coast tract of 265 acres has perfect
ed financial arrangements for the con-
tinuous building of residences to cost
$4,000 and up. The cost of thirteen
residences now being erected at Mi
ami, including improvement of the
grounds, is estimated to amount to ap-
proximately $8,650,000 Included in
this are the two Deering estates, esti-
mated at 100000 each, one residence
at $250,O00 and one at $4,000. The
construction of 100000 residence in
Savannah, Ca, has just begun. A cot
ton mill company in Great Falls, S. c.,
has awarded a contract for the cree
ton of 100 residences of one and two
stories for employees.
"A total of eighteen corporations
have been organized during the week,
with minimum capital stocks aggre-
eating $1,046,500."

FELL FROM LOFT
HURT THEN WELL
How Man Who Landed On
Wood Pile And Was Sore From
Head to Foot Found
Quick Relief.

Once upon a time Edwin Putnam,
who lives in the quiet, pretty hamlet Of
Wendell Depot, Mass, climbed up into
q loft to get some building material,
Just as many another man living in the
country must often do. Suddenly he
slipped and fell. Ten feet below was a
pile OF wood, knotted and gnarled. It
was q nasty tumble, and Mr.. Putnam
was injured painfully in the back, he
was covered with bruises, and was sore
from head to foot.
The next day he bought bottle of
Sloan's Liniment which had been re-
commended to him. Within very few
hours the soreness had vanished and
the iameness had disappeared. He was
an active man once more.
Sloan's Liniment can be obtained at
Rl drug stores, 25c., SOC. and SLIGO.

HARRISON DRUG ACT
IS BLOW At OPIUM
Congress Tries To Stamp Out
Traffic In Narcotic
(By The Associated Pressl

WASHINGTON, June 25.-The Har-
rison drug act, enacted by congress in
1914 and pronOuncing it unlawful for
any person not registered under its
terms to have in his possession any
opium or its derivative was an out.
growth of the international opium
agreement of 1912.
For years the nited States made eff
forts to aid the suppression of the
opium traffic. 1t joined in the meet
ing Of an international commission in
Shanghai China, in 1909 to encourage
Oriental countries to suppress the traf
fc. Later it suggested and brought
about a convention of nations in 1912
with full powers to act on the subject.
A treaty was drafted, declaring that
the signatories should take measures
for gradual and eficaciOuS suppressIO On
Of the use of prepared opium and
should enact pharmacy laws and regu-
latiOns limiting use to a medical and
Legitimate purpose and to cooperate to
prevent it's use for any others,
No steps were taken to put the treaty
into force in the United States until
1913, although nearly all the countries
concerned had acted, some enacting
very drastic laws. Shortly after Pre-
sident Wilson came into Office, he sent
a message to the house accompanied
by report of the secretary of state
urging Legislation to place the United
States in rightful position before
the world in regard to the subject. The
Harrison law was the result.
