One more outfielder who can hit

The latest yarn from the Evanston

suffered an injury to his left ankle in
the Indiana game and he has remain
ed on the sidelines. Underhill has
been practicing in his place.
But when the eleVens line up on
Northwestern field look for DriscOu
and you will not be disappointed.
Patty is too valuable to be kept out
of such an important contest.

 There, that's enough! For thunder's sake, don't you suppose I know any thing Grace?"
 Well, but never have left you be- fore. We always have gone together. I wouldn't go now if Sister wasn't re- ally in need of me l don't believe l ought to, anyway" she finished, doubt fully What if you get sick living on bakers stuff and canned things?"
 Now stop it, Grace! I should think was a four-year-o I'll do all the things. Don't you worry. Give Sister the helping hand on the trousseau, and a good send-off, then come back and see for yourself what a fine conbina- tiCn of indoor-maid and outdOor-r farm CT your hubby is"
 Well you're good to let me go. There's the train! Good-by!" And Henry was left to keep bachelor hall for a probable two or three weeks.
 For the first three days all went se- reuely and then the meat, bread, cake and pie that Grace had left gave out, and Henry had to begin his own plan- ming. He didn't think to put up the card for the meat-man till he saw that important person flying past in his car, and so he decided to open a can of sardines for dinner. The baker he lost in the same way so it was crackers and sardines, or would have been, but PifFe investigated the open can and took first choice while Henry was answering a phone call The next best thing seemed to be veal-Ioaf.
 It didn't taste as well as he had hoped, but he managed some sort of meal. Supper was easier crackers and milk. Breakfast too, was not much trouble after a few mornings, and aside from a few minor accidents (such as forgetting to pour any water into the dish where he thought he was boiling eggs, and finding he was out of coffee 1 just as he was about to make some) all went passably well. But by the enc 1 of the week he made arrangements 1 with 8 little hotel half a mile away 1 to send him each day, by an express man who passed, a dinner!

NO CLEAN MILK.

4 Waterbury doctor makes the statement that there is no such thing as clean milk obtainable from even the best kept stables and dairy herds, When he was charged with having said 97 per cent. of the milk delivered in the city was filthy, he objected to the statement because he had said 100 per cent. was dirty, and the quoters of his letter had misquoted him by three per cent.
 He challenged any dairy man to let him put his milk through a separator and. guaranteed. he would find dust and hay and excreta fn sufficient bulk not to require the use of a microscope to disclose it.
 If this is true it has always been true; but it has never seriously af- fected the health of the. farmers who use most of it. and continue the nxost healthy and -Iong-lived people in the country.
 There is as persistent a war being made upon milk as there is upon flies and mosquitoes in the alleged inter- ests of public health; but there is req son to believe this Is not the true motive.
 The falling off af mtlCh. cows 5000 tO 10000 in the past tsn years in New England is driving city dwellers to the use of condensed milk the real article is so dear: and the pasteuriza- ton of milk is likely to send the price permanently to 10 cents or more a quart.

A CHECK To KRUPPlsM.

The manufacturers of munitions of war complain that the tax upon their industry is too great-it is unfair and destructive.
 Easily made millions always feel direct taxes most, and make the loud est protests because they are com pelIed to contribute their share in support of the government.
 We agree with the Detroit Free Press when it says:
 Tt strikes us that the munitions companies have pointed out the very best reason why they should be taxed heavily. A few years ago, it was re- vealed in the German reichstag that the Krupps hired agents for the pur- pose of stirring up trouble in foreign capitals in order to stimulate invest ments in armament. We do not want this so-called Kruppism in America We do not want citizens whose enor- nous profits will tempt them into in citing bad feeling among the nations simply that the profits may be main tained. If the managers of the Krupp plant fell so low, there is no reason to believe that Americans will prove. in like circumstances, superior to such appetites."
 The premiums upon trouble in va rious directions are already too great. The money in it encourages in this country the circulation of lies to the prejudice of Japan and Mexico and the misleading of the people.
 The makers of war munitions can afford to pay direct taxes better than the workers can afford to pay the in- direct taxes of which they seem to know so little.

roo MANY INVESTIGATIONS.

Complaints are being made that too many investigations have been started in the Toms Island explosion in New York harbor last Sunday morning.
 Where there are so many inquiries instead of the cause being feTreted out, there is likely to be @ variety of conclusions harder to solve than the original problem.
 It will be remembered that the cause of high prices was politically in vestigated in half the states of the Union a few years ago, and for the hundreds of thousands of the peoples money expended not ten cents worth of relief or satisfaction was ever ob- tained.
 There may be something under this catastrophe more than criminal care lcssness-there may be criminal in- tent. It is o matter the federal au- thoTities are competent to handle, and since it comes within their juTisdic- tion it is likely to be more speedily brought to light by them than by the authorities of two states or three cit ies, which seem to be involved.

A WoRLD-HoPE-A CONTINUOUS
 PRAYER.

All over the world today there ex- ists the thought that out from this great world war is to come a more abiding peace and an order of things which shall make in life happier men.
 This is the hope of the whole world and # is the faith which sustains the -Sldiers in the trenches on both sides of the battleheIds.
 An Austrian soldier left a letter for his sister to be opened after his death. which has come to light. In it this man of the trenches said:
 We go to battle for freedom and justice, and we struggle for lasting peace! CThis is what the priest said today in his sermon during mass. Solemnly the trumpets accompanied the hymns and deep silence prevailed in our ranks. Though do not believe in the church and her doctrines, seri- oCs thoughts came to me- as probably to every other young comrade). We are fighting for a lasting peace If this is really attained, then I shall not have yielded up my young life in vain. For when you read this letter, l shall be resting under the sod. My spur of endurance was the thought of the world-peace which is to follow on this world-war. I left this world un- willingly. Do not forget what lived for, what in the end died for; the building up of a better order, which shall create happier men," -,.

 Grace intended to meet her husband with suspicion, but he was so unaf- fectedly glad to see her that she could not help meeting him half way, and re- served her decision on what she had heard. She found everything in per feet order and plenty of freshly cooked food. which Henry said he bought" As she started to hang her coat in the hall she noticed bracelet and two rings hanging on a hook. With re- newed suspicion she examined them. She found the initials HI. M" And then she l1new-some things-'but just to tease Henry she exclaimed:
 'I was told that you had a pretty girl out driving, and that she had been here too. What about it?"
 But she could not keep her face straight at the sight of Henry's, so she burst into a, peal of laughter, and in another moment she was in his arms. "Oh, Henry!" she laughed, ''I just knew things would happen, and you would have to call for help, but never thought of Helen till I saw her initials in her ring."-Boston Post.

would make him still more work. But the, second Saturday was when he met his Waterloo! To begin with, he over slept which excited him enough to make him spill coffee on his hand,
 burning it, and on the table and rug.
 While he tried to mop this up with a
 hastily snatched up traycloth, Whlr- ring sound caused him to look up, and
 to his dismay, he beheld a little flock
 of chimney swallows issuing from the fireplace. Before he could catch them,
 they had distributed soot most impar-
 tiaIly between window draperies, table cloth and floor. He could almost hear
 his wife saying, But why didn't you put the f1reboard up?" Just then he
 was called to the telephone. It was
 long distance, Grace's voice. Before he
 could reply he noticed a fine black feathery something floating in the air
 and dropping all about him. It rem dered his voice a bit nervous as he
 morrow, then-gOod enough-@uTe, Tn
 all right-well, good by, till later.' And he hurried to the kitchen, which to his
 horror he found full of thick, black smoke.
 He threw open doors and windows,
 extinguished the treacherous, old-fash- toned oil stove on which he had been heating dish water for a dreaded semi : occasional task. When he was able to
 see across the room he surveyed the various kinds of dirt and disorder and ran his hands desparingly through his hair as he wondered where to begin. Then an inspiration came. In a neigh- boring town lived a cousin. He hur- ried to the telephone: 'Hss5usin Helen? Good. Say, could you help me out on a pinch ?' And he explained, finishing
 with: ''Yes, I'll see you back home. Bless your heart"
 The next day as Mrs. Grace was nearing her home station one of her 1 friends came aboard, and, seeing her, came along to greet her, and remarked 1 in a -plavfIl half-maIfcious man
