WHAT CATARRH IS

1t has been said that every third
person has catarrh in some form.
Scienceha shown that nasal catarlh
often indicates a general weakness
of the body; and local treatments in
the form Of snuffs and vapors do little,
if any good.
To correct catarrh you should treat its
cause by enriching your blood with the
oil-food in SCOTS Emulsion which is a
medicinal food and a building tonic, free
from alcohol or any harmful drugs. Tryit,

forth in the opinion of the court writ
ten by Judge Cardozo Incorporated in
an announcement from the Safety First
Society. wherein certain cases are dis
tingulshed and have been taken to sup
port this extreme view, and which further
says:
THE jury was told in effect that even
II the plaintiff left the car without look
ing where he was going and then walked
blndly In the path of the wagon, they
might still acquit him of negligence. This
law, we think is otherwise. A wayfarer
is not at liberty to close his eyes in cross
Ing city street. His duty is to use his
eyes and thus protect himself from dam
ger. The law does not say how often he
must look, or precisely how far, or when.
or from where. If. for example. he looks
as he starts to cross and the way seems
clear. he is not bound as a matter of law
to look again. The law does not even
say that because he sees n wagon APP
preaching he must stop till II has passed.
He may go forward unless II Is close upon
him. and whether he is negligent in going
forward will be question for the jury"

only exercise ordinary care for his own
safety"
An educational campaign has been con-
Quoted under the auspices of the Safety
First Society of New York during the last
two years. One of the commands which
the society has consistently promulgated
since its inception reads as follows:
Look before you cross n street. Cross
at the regular crossing, and not
in the middle of block"
1t is the general belief that this de-
cision will have far-reachng effect in
reducing the number of street accidents
as soon as 1t becomes known to those per-
sons accustomed to cross n street with
out looking in either direction to see II
there is any approaching vehicular traffic
or street cars, and particularly the care

their own hands by crossing a street at

ARCHER'S ROAD
WAS HARD ONE
ALLLAST SEASON
Veteran Cub Catcher Had
Much to Contend With,
But Played Well
SOME REAL STUNTS

Tho talk Of gales and trades that are
! In prospect at the present time and
| which will most likely continue until
: the teams start for the southern camps.
brings to mind the fact that the same
| Jimmy Archer, premier catcher Of the
| Cubs for many years, is mentioned as
| being sold or traded.
A few words about the great player.
! Last year Jimmy had IL passed balls
out of the IS charged against all the
| Cub catchers. This was more than any
| other backstop in the National League
and II calls to our mind Archer's fine work
In previous years. He was far from being
at his best in 1915. as the records plainly
show, but In his prime he wHs one of
the greatest throwing catchers known 20
the game.
Archer was real comeback, q rare
bird in the national pastime Hughey
Jennings. smart as he is, discarded him
ms of no use to a major league club and
sent him to Buffalo. There Frank Chance
saw him in an exhibition game and at
once secured him for the Cubs, where
he did brilliant work for a number OF
years.
When at his best Archer not only threw
very accurately to second base, but he
was an adept at picking runners off FIRST
and third. His "squat-pegging," as the
Chicago critics called 1t, was deadly In
throwing from any position by a quick
snap of his hurllng wing. Catching tho
pitched ball while in sduattng position
behind the bat, he could shoot II on. n
line u first base greatly to tho surprise
of the base runner and often to his sud-
den discontinue.
Few catchers have ever been able to
make this play with any degree of accu-
racy, but Archer was and Is an exception.
His ability In this line shows the real
merit of thinking ball player in com
parison with the ordinary mechanical
man. who does nothing but the obvious at
all times.
A bluff to throw to second, followed by
n snap shot to third base, will frequently
snare the runner Off third: while a bluff
throw to third, followed by a sudden
throw to second, will almost invariably
prove disastrous to the aggressive. rim
ner; but there are not many who attempt
the latter play. 1t Is catchers like Killing
and Archer who have the nerve and the
skill to go through with these plays that
turn In victory for their team, for which
the pitcher or the batter who makes a hit
in the pinch gets the credit.

money to spend seldom spend It need
lessly And II is because they know well
what they are doing that they own sew
eral cars.
Let us investigate the garage of man
who owns seven cars. He Is telling you
about them himself:
You see, in the first place, live in the
country and | ride to my office every
morning, in my own limousine, during the
winter. Besides i have a daughter who
goes out great. deal socially in the eve
ming and she uses the same car to take
her to and from her affairs In summer
I ride to town In an open touring car,
which is also used by the family at large
when we tour together in summer. For
my wife have a landaulet, which she
can use all the year, since IL closes up
for winter use or the top may be put
back in summer.
Now my daughter has n car OF her
own. little raceabout which she uses
when she wants TO drive alone or to fool
around with in the daytime. Her brother
at college has n similar car, although 1
permit him to use IL only in summer or
other vacation periods.
THAT makes five and the total of what
I term my family's pleasure cars, We
have n light delivery car to carry baggage
to and from the station and to do what
ever other hauling is to be done about
the place. This latter amounts to great
deal, 1t hauls dead leaves in the fall, ma
terial for repairing the roadways and
saves me considerable expense of one
sort or another in many ways
Lastly, We have small cheap touring
car to carry domestics to and from the
station and to take them to church on
Sunday. The car runs to the station at
certain scheduled times and If any OF the
servants miss 1t they must wait for the
next or II 1t Ia the last one at night walk
home"

in addition there are several hundred

who own anywhere from two to seven
cars.
To the man in the street vending his
way from here to there on shank's mare
the latter class is n source of absolute
wonder and perplexity. What in the

body do with six or seven automobiles?
