IS STRONG FOR DISCIPLINE
Percy Haughton, New Owner of
Braves, Always an Advocate of
Obedience to Training Rules.

Discipline is likely to be the watch
word of the Boston National league
baseball club under the direction Of
the new president, Percy D. Houghton,
during the coming season. Haughton,
as a Harvard baseball and football
player, and later coach Of the eleven,
has always been a strong advocate of
strict obedience to training rules. in
structions and the playing code OF
whatever game he was interested 10.
While it is not to be expected that
Haughton will insist that the players
of the Boston Braves will be held to
the same degree of accountability that
prevails in college football circles, it
is certain that the new president of
the club will insist upon an observ-
ance of all the rules recently laid
down by former President Gaffney in
his letter to the players. and may even

RECORD OF LONG SPEECHES
Unlimited Debate in Congress Has
Given Opportunity for States
men Gifted With Words.

Under the rule Of unlimited debate
in the senate OF the United States,
several speeches have been delivered
that lasted longer than the twelve
hours of the address in the Austrian
parliament But these speeches were
Interrupted by calls for quorums aud
sometimes by coroquics with other
senators. These Interruptions some
times permit the senator holding the
floor TO leave the chamber for few
minutes during the calling of quo
rum. The longest record of speaking
uninterruptedly in the senate was
made by Senator Reed Smoot OF Utah,
who, without interruption, spoke II
hours and rs minutes on the night OF
january 2728. 1915, in opposition to
the ship purchase bill With inter

DAILEYS UNIQUE FEAT
0ne-Armed TWirIer Pitches Most
Remarkable Game.
Shuts Out Philadelphia Club Without
Run or Hit-Lee Meadows Handi-
capped by Wearing Spectacles
Archer AIsS Crippled.

Thirty.twoyearold Pitcher Daley
of Cleveland, then in the National
league. shut out the Philadelphia club
without a hit or run.
Many other twirlers before and since
have broke into the baseball hall of
fame by performing this feat, but
Daley stands alone and unique as the
one-armed twirler in the history
OF the game to attain such heights of
stardom.
Lee Meadows, the Cardinal slab art
list, is now considered something of
freak because his lamps are weak
and he has to wear spectacIes, but
such a handicap is not to be com
pared with that of the old Cleveland
twirler
1t is not generally known that Jim
my Archer, the immortal Cub back
stop, has bum wing, but such is the
fact Archers deadly right arm is
an inch shorter than the left. and
terribly SCARED When he was about
nineteen, Jimmy, an immigrant from
Dublin, was working in cooperage
shop in Toronto.
While thus employed he slipped and
fell, so that his right arm was
plunged into a vat OF boiling sap. All
of the skin and quite bit OF the
flesh was torn away when the clothing
was removed, and Tor weeks Archer
was in a hospital For time it was
thought the arm would have TO be am
putated, but the surgeons managed TO
save it, but Archer still bears the
scars
Since then he has had his arm
broken at the elbow, while most of
the fingers of his right hand have been
| broken or dislocated several times
When it comes to looks Areher's right
wing is far from being pretty. but it
still gets him the money, and it has
won for him a larger measure of fame
than has been accorded to any other
| backstop in recent years

The close connection between the

nowadays. When kidneys are diseased.

as heart disease. or disease OF brain

Yesterday and Another Today.
Deputy Sheriff W. H. Crippen has
had two narrow escapes from serious
injury, one yesterday afternoon late,
and the other this morning.
While going home yesterday after
noon on his wheel a little child ran
across the road in front Of him and to
prevent striking her MI. Crippen turn
ed his wheel so sharply to one side
that it skidded with him, badly bruis-
ing his knee and tearing his clothing.
This morning Nh. Crippen was
walking about the yard when his feet
became entangled in a wire and he
was thrown violently to the ground.
His gun, which was on his hip, was
thrown from the scabbard by the
force of the fall and struck him in the
back of the head. Had it gone off it
would very probably have seriously
hurt Mr.. Crippen. His watch was
also thrown from his pocket by the
force of the fall.

ments are undoubtedly interesting.

ments are undoubtedly interesting.
Mrs. Houser was one of the first to
use the medicine, and being at a very
advanced age, her trouble had been
more persistent and difficult to treat,
perhaps, than any of the others. Mrs.-
Houser said:
II had been in a very weak, ner-
vous state for several years and have
suffered principally from stomach
trouble. l would 60 for months at a
time without eating any solid food
and up to a short time ago, spent
most of my time in my room, as I was
too weak to come down stairs. I ate
some corr bread and spare ribs for
dinner today and they seemed to agree
with me perfectly, as l have suffered
no bad after effects whatever. The
horrible headaches and nervousness
are gone and I am feeling SO much
better in every way"
Mrs. Martin, who was the next to
testify, said:
~ have suffered a great deal from
hard, driving pains in my head and
had had stomach trouble. I hardly
ever have a pain now, the catarrh no
longer troubles me and my appetite
is much better" a.
Mrs. Fink said:
II was sick all last summer and l
now feel better and stronger than in
months. l no longer suffer from the
headaches I had so much"
Mrs. Wallis seemed to be especially
delicate and had a very weak consti-
tuition and weak stomach. Mrs. Wal
lis said:
I'm only n week after taking
your medicine l began to feel greatly
improved. I feel very much stronger,
enjoy my meals more and seem to
rest better at night. I expect to con-
tinue taking Tanlac."
In referring to the above state
ments, Mr.. G. F. Willis, who is now
personally directing the introduction
OF Tanlac throughout the South, said:
g consider the statements of these
old ladies the most remarkable that
have ever come under my observa.
ton. do not hesitate to say that /
believe these Endorsements to be the
strongest that have ever been received
BY a proprietary medicine Of any
character"
Quoting from one of Mr.. Cooper's
lectures, MI. Willis said:
when people grow to a ripe old
age their digestive organs lact vitality
and begin to act more slowly and less
etectually than in youth. The circu.
'atlon becomes poor, the blood eets
thin, the appetite fails and the diees.

Messrs. w. A. Stinson, j. e. Dennis

Sulphur City, La, to look into the
possibilities as an investment of the
Standard Sulphur Co. property, which

Co., which appears to be the greatest
business of the kind in the world. It
