Cleveland as a Flag Candidate.

The Braves of 1914 and the Phil lies of 1915 have proven well enough that pennant can be won by a rank outsider The Braves that year were picked to finish deep in the second, and so were the Phillies year later.
 The claims of both were joshed and hooted, which accounts for the fact Cleveland has few scoffers today When two upsets come in succession the average outsider is willing to be- lieve strongly in a third once the chance arrives.

ALEXANDER BEATS x DODGERS BY ONE RUN Great Hurler Wins Duel Witt
 Pfofier on Wet Field

Brooklyn, June 20.-Alexander tho Great was great yesterday and as result Jeff Pfeffer went down to defeat in a pitchers duel which was worth watching in spite of a water soaket7 field, leaden skies, an intermittent drizzie and occasional torrents. When Bill KillifeT finally caught a foul fly from Stengel's bat which ended the game while Dodger runners languish. ed on first and third the score was to in favor of the Phillies.
 It was the first time the Quakers have beaten the Dodgers at Ebbets Field this year. and only the second time they have beaten the leaders al all in a total of ten meetings. The outcome brought the champions of 1915 within two games of their new challengcrs-a margin so small that it can be wiped away in this series unless the charges of Wilbert Robin son perk up and regain their sway over the Pat Moran men.
 The Phillies were ahead at all times with the excepton of a brief spell of perhaps a minute between the end of the Brooklyn sixth inning and the middle of the visitors seventh. The Quakers got a run off Pfeffer in the very first round. Bancroft, first up, doubled to. left, and an ensuing sacrifice by Niehoff and single to left score:

POST CARD LETTERS DECLINE.

Some one was asking the other
day what has become of the Old fash
Toned people who used to write long
personal messages on the old plain
postal cards. It was for many years
IA stock joke in the rural districts,
that the delivery of mail was delayed
by the time it took the postmistress
to read these cards. This may have
been libel. but very intimate matters
used to be discussed in the publicity
of these old post cards, in a way that
must have excited the curiosity OF
prying persons.
No doubt these old postal card let
tiers have been mostly supplanted by
the use OF the picture cards or cards
with notices, jokes, or greetings. The
use Of these Is larger than ever before.
A postoffice official said the other day
that 1t takes $4,000 one cent stamps
to mail the Christmas post cards of
a town OF 10000 people.
Most OF US can remember the
maiden aunts and others who were
noted for their ability to write long
efrusions on postal cards. Some OF
them prided themselves on the number
of words that could be legibly written
On a postal card. II memory serves
Alright, this would often run into the
two or three hundreds. Fine pointed
pens were pushed with a concise mo-
ton that is a lost art now
The cent that the postal card saved
was a part of we'll planned conser-
walton OF resources, by which bank
books were acquired in days OF small
economic things. A two cent letter
was a needless waste, in which not
merely the stamp but the cost of
paper and envelope was a consider
alton.
The publicity does not affect the
sale Of the modern post card. The

GERALDINE FARRAR
TO WED TELLEGAN
Romance Of Movie Studio Which
Started While Carmen was
Being Filmed.

\ United Press Leased Wire Service. |
Los ANGELES, Calf, Feb. S.
News of Geraldine Farrar's coming
marriage in New York to Lou Telle
gan. 20, movie actor, did not cause
any great surprise here today Their
engagement was rumored several
months ago when both were acting
before the camera here.
Tellegan came to southern Califor-
mia with Madame Sarah Bernhardt
and then abandoned the stage for the
films. He met Miss Farrar at the
Lasky studio when she was appearing
there in the movie version Of Car
men," Tellegan was not cast in that
production, but his attentions to the
noted star were constant.
When Carmen" was finished, Miss
Farrar was invited on many motoring
trips to Santa Barbara and other
nearby cities. On these jaunts, Telle-
gen was invariably one Of the party.
1t was the stars first vacation in
years and she evidently made the
most of 1t by falling in love-
About this time rumors Of the en-
gagement were heard, but there was
no confirmation from the principals.
Just before Miss Farrar started east,
it is understood, very few of her
closest friends were let into the
secret.

troubles for long period. She grew
weak as result Of the failure Of her
digestive processes. She was always
tired.
Then came Mayr's Wonderful Rem.

health again.
The first bottle, the very first dose,
put Mrs. Litzenberg on her feet She
wrote:
II have taken four bottles Of your
Wonderful Remedy. / can't be thank
full enough for 1t. I must say that It
is the best medicine that I ever tried.

Mates in THROUGH.

Odebolt Chronicle: This paper
knows something OF Senator Mates
aims and ambitions, and 1t can say
that he is absolutely out OF politics.
He gave number OF his best years
to the public service and feels that he
has done his duty by the people or
the state. HIS decision to remain in
private life is final, and no offer
would be tempting enough to cause
him to change his mind. He desires
to devote the remainder of his life to
his private interests, which are con-
siderable. Were It not so he might
have been a considerable factor In the
race for the governorship at this time.
This paper is in possession OF the
knowledge that formidable support
was his for the asking, but he re-
fused to be tempted. We fully agree
with our contemporaries that the sena-
tor is the ideal type Of public servant.
and his Odebolt friends appreciate
their interest, but the senator is
through with politics.

THE NURSES PROFESSION,

"A The devotion and self-sacrifice re

WHAT'S WRONG WITH CON-
GRESS7

Prof. Irving Fisher, the distinguish
ed economist of Yale university, has
been studying congress from the
standpoint of efficiency. He finds his
patient in pretty bad shape, and sub
mits the following diagnosis:
The chief causes of wear and
tear on the lives of congressman
are the same as those applying
to modern convivial social life
indoor and sedentary living,
crouched and cramped pastures,
late dinners, overeating. over-con-
centration, irregular hours, lack
OF sleep, worry, and the use of
drugs, especially narcotics like al
cohol and tobacco"
The Syracuse IN. " Post Stand
ard tnereupon suggests that congress
must exercise its legs more and its
stomach less, and offers these rules !:
"Congressmen must be in bed,
with lights out at 9 D. m.
congressman must walk from
their homes to the capitol at least
twice a day, and no member live
within a two-mile radius.
Every member shall be exam
ined by a physician at least three
times during each session. If in
ill health he shall be suspended
congressman may not pur-
chase intoxicants except upon a
physicians order, and there shall
be no smoking upon federal prop
erty.
The house physician shall pre-
scribe a diet for every member"
This is writ sarcastick," but
there's considerable sense in it. The
president is subjected to just about
such a regimen. He has to be, to
keep in trim for work. Why should
Mt congress yield to the same sort
Of hygienic discipline? inquiries the
Pontiac Press Gazette.
