With the baseball season Of 1916 In
full bloom, enthusiasm in Uncle Sans
great national game is everywhere ap-
parent. This enthusiasm furnishes a
striking contrast to the period imme-
diately preceding the campaigns Of
1914 and 1915.
1t is needless for me to refer to the
distressing conditions under which the
game labored in the last two years,
for these are still fresh in the minds
of every fan. Suffice it to say, that
the situation having been clarified
during the winter months, baseball is
again due for period Of prosperity

races for our pennants, but | cannot
recall one which was more promising
than that which is now upon us.
Boston, Chicago, Detroit, New York,
Washington and st. Louis are, from
my point of view, almost certain con-
tenders for the right to get into the

HOW TO HEAL ITCHING,
BURNING SKIN DISEASES

A Baltimore doctor suggests this
simple. but reliable and inexpensive,
homo treatment for people suffering
with eczema, ringworm, rashes and
similar itching, burning skin troubles.
At any reliable druggists get a jar
Of Resinol Ointment and a cake of
Resinol Soap. These are not at all ex.
pensive. With the Resinol Soap and
warm water bathe the affected parts
thoroughly. until they are free from
crusts and the skin is softened. Dry
very gently, spread on thin layer OF
the Resinol Ointment, and cover with
light bandage-if necessary to pro-
tect the clothing. This should be done
twice day. Usually the distressing
itching and burning stop with the first
treatment, and the skin soon becomes
clear and healthy again.-Adv.

brains and push and money. The
question of expense will not enter
into their calculations If they can
strengthen their team and make it a
factor in the championship race.
Another one of our clubs also
changed hands during the winter-St
Louis. The manager of this club is
none other than Fielder Jones, who
led the White Sox to the worlds cham
pionship In 1906. Jones, when in the
American league, always showed re-
markable ability in handling team,
and he knew how to get the best re-
suits out Of his men. That's why
think the ST. Louis team, with Jones
as it's pilot, should be rated as a pos
sible pennant contender.
AS for Connie Mack, he is still en-
gagged in the arduous task of rebuild
ing his Athletics, but Connie. wizard
that he is, can hardly hope to figure
seriously in the race of 1916. But, at
that, he may surprise us.
In conclusion, wish to say that
with normal conditions in the base
ball world restored, major and minor
league club owners, the country over,
face the future with feeling Of con-
fidence-a feeling that the grand old
game has come back, and that the
fans are now ready and anxious to
support it as enthusiastically as they
did in the days Of its greatest pros
perity.

Patchoulj for Moth Prevention,

in Porto Rico, and it is the general be-
lief in the island that when placed

a sure preventive of moths. In the

fume Of patchouli was In great favor.

of patchouli were more generally
known there would be a demand for
1t in the United States in preference
to moth balls. 1t should have as much
vogue as lavender for putting between
sheets and placing among garments;
and II 1t were manufactured or
shredded into q finer substance and
sold In small bags it would be de-
cided novelty that undoubtedly would
prove popular. Great quantities OF It
grow wild in Porto Rico, and a de-
mand for 1t from the United States
would afford employment to many Of
the poor country people. In Porto
Rico natives bring the patchouli to
town and sell 1t In small bundles that
retail at two to five cents.

OWE MUCH TO PETER COOPER
American Builders Of Locomotives Got
Their First Ideas From Noted
Philanthropist.

1t was Peter Cooper who started
and fostered the building OF locomo'
tives in America, an industry which
has surpassed that of any other coun.
try Of the world, to the extent that to.
day the American locomotive is recog.

ness man than as an inventor, and
the big New York charities that bear
his name in a way have been respon-
sible for this.
But Peter Cooper was q mechanical
genius from his youth. His career
was commenced in little room In a
rear building on Broadway, New York,
and it was here he began to develop
his ingenuity and mechanical capacity,
and it was here he gave the first evil
dence Of his inventive genius by MAX
ing machine for mortising the hubs
Of carriage wheels.
Later he made some admirable i'm
provements in shearing machines, and
through this and other inventions he
gathered sufficient money to start in
a rather extensive way the manufac-
ture Of glue, oil, whiting. etc. He
was credited with making the best
glue in the country. His business
was most profitable and In 1928, when
Mr.. Cooper was thirty-seven years old,
he was quite rich man and was able
to make large land purchases with
in the limits Of the city of Baltimore.
Here Mr.. Cooper set up the great
Canton iron works. Two years later,
in 1880, he built the first locomotive
engine constructed in this country.
The subject of railroad building was
agitating the country, and the Balti.
more & Ohio Railroad company was
organized for the purpose. This COM
pany was gravely experimenting with
a car which was carried before the
wind by mast and sail, when sturdy
old Peter Cooper stepped in and final
ly solved the motive power problem.
He knew to make his iron company

some satisfactory means of outlet.

Tinker. Joe only started to laugh, as

him and the angry redskin. Meyers
