Free Blood Examinations.

The Psyschatric Clinic under the
auspices of the State Board of Con-
troll has provided for free blood eX-
aminations and thereby offered to the
physicians and to the public Of the
state an opportunity Of heading off a
considerable amount of insanity.
Blood tests have been perfected in
recent years by which positive inform
alton is given Of the existence of con-
ditions in the human body which, if
untreated, will inevitably lead, in a
fair proportion of cases, to incurable
insanity and in others to incurable
diseases of the nervous system. Dis
covered early enough, however, these
conditions can be removed by appro-
pirate treatment and the consequent
mental or nervous disease prevented.
Nor is the value of these blood ex-
aminations confined to mental and
nervous conditions. By utilizing them
the health of the public will be ad-
vanced in many ways. Their evidence
is Of great assistance in diagnosis of
obscure disorders and occasionally it
of having tuberculosis or cancer are
not suffering from either but from
another disease requiring entirely diff
ferent treatment
Even in heart disease great gain
may be expected from the utilization
of this publicly supported laboratory.
It is generally conceded that the num-
Der of premature deaths from heart
disease is on the increase and author
tiles hold that more attention must
be given to the prevention of heart
degeneration if people are to secure
the maximum attainable length of
life and their full measure of health.
1t is quite possible in many instances
to detect and check the degenerative
tendency long before irreparable
harm has been done Old age debil-
ity and especially premature senility
could frequently be postponed many
years were the patient forewarned
and forearmed against tendencies dis
coverable by blood examinations. 1t
is to our own personal interest, there
fore, to use this state laboratory
which we, the people, own-to use it
as freely as we do the public schools,
libraries, streets and other common
property.
Further information on this sub
ject will be furnished on request sent
to this bureau.

BROKE DOWN NEAR ROCKVILLE.

Oscar Groezinger, Hazel Green
citizen, came near turning turtle with
his car last Thursday afternoon about
half a mile south of Rockville.
Groezinger had brought party to
British Hollow and was going home
alone. He stopped just north of the
Uppena farm to put on his chains as
the roads were muddy. AS the car
stopped it swung around and almost
skidded into the ditch some distance
down, but hung on the brink in very
perilous position Efforts to pull it
out were futile until the Knox auto
man went down the next day. A brok-
en- knuckle on the right hand front
wheel was the only damage

TIMELY FIRE WARNINGS.

Another threShing season is here.
Each the state fire marshal's depart
ment receives quite a large number
of reports of fires caused by thresh-
ing engines. In a short time such
fires often destroy the entire crop of
grain in stacks, straw and nearby
buildings. Why thus hazard the fin
ished product on which you have spent
months of labor? A little precaution
calling for little or no expense, will
insure the safety of your grain stacks.
See to it, that the threshing engine
has good spark arrester on its
smOkestack, and that the engine is so
placed that the wind will not carry
sparks toward the stacks. Grain
ings, so that a stack cannot spread
also to the buildings. Smoking on or
around grain or straw stacks should
not be allowed under any circumstance
es. The engineer should keep all oily
waste in a metal pail and not allow
such waste to lie around to ignite
spontaneously.
A barrel of water and a few pals,
or a couple of chemical fire eXtin-
guishers on hand and ready for use,
will help to extinguish an incipient
fire in your grain stacks.
The dry season has again empha-
sized the great fire danger present in
rubbish. A spark, carelessly thrown
match, cigaret, or cigar stub easily
ignites dry rubbish and may start a
bad fire, often even a conflagration.
At times of drouth it is especially i'm
yards be free from combustible waste
and rubbish. Why jeojardize your all
for few cents worth Of waste paper
or excelsior? Fire chiefs should be
especially vigilant in having rubbish
removed from the premises of the
careless ones.
Soon you will again start up your
stove fires. Has the chimney been
cleaned and is it free from cracks and
defects? Is the stove sound and rest
ing on metal stOveboard? Is the
stovepipe sound, we'll joined and rig
idly wired? If it passes through a
partition or floor, is it surrounded
with a double thimble and heavy as
bestOs? Is the stove or smokepipe
near any unprotected woodwork?
Just a little sane action now may
save a great sorrow later.

Dated Sept 1. State Fire Marshal.

ANDERSON'S STRING OF VICTORIES GETS
 JOLT FROM CUBS

New York, June 13-BY lavish use of their heavy artillery. the Chicago Cubs won the second battle of their Grounds yesterday. The score was 5 to 2.
 The only wonder is that the visitors did not make 18 runs instead of eight. It has been rumored that the Cubs lacked the punch this season. No mem Der of the New York club can be found who will verify this story. In fact. they all regard it as absolutely unfounded. Anderson and Tesreau, especially, are loud in their belief that there is nothing in it.
 Tfnker's men made eighteen hits They walloped the horsehide for a to- talta1 of twenty-six bases. Their ef- forts included home run, triple and three doubles. Anderson couldn't ato1, them. and when Tesreau attemp- ted to go to the rescue of his brother gpit-baIler they clouted his offerings with fiendish glee.
 The Giants were unable to do much with Packard. Whenever it looked as if they were about to start something At bis expense his shadow descended darlxly upon the rally and plotted it sout. A1Co shadows. however, interefer- cd with the hitting of the Cubs For them the afternoon was just one sum beam after another.
 It must be admitted the Westerners gave their nnoundsmen a great deal better support than was enjoyed by the Gotham hurIers. Zimmerman and Afulhgan were bright and shining stars in the inner line of Chicago's de- fense E so3
 While the Giants did some pretty work in the field. they also played some head1ess baseball. Twice in one inning first base was left uncovered. and useless errors were responsible for two of Chfcago's runs.

TANKS IN MIDST
 OF SLUMP DROP THEIR 4TH STRAIGHT

Detroit, Mich; June 13-The Yankee slump is now reaching dan gerous proportions, as the club yester- day lost it's fourth straight game, the Tigers winning a hard-hitting, loosely fielded, poorly pitched game by to G. This is by far the longest losing streak the club has had this season, as they had not lost more than two games at a, stretch prior to this trip. Things are moving along nicely for Detroit, yesterdays game making it seven straight for the Tigers. New York still is second, by reason of Washington's continued slump, but the Tigers moved up to fourth place heels.
 Mediocre fielding and worse pitch ing lost for the Yankees, particularly the poor pitching. It was dished up by Ray Fisher, and a pitcher of the schoolmasters ability should have won handily with the batting support his mates handed him. However, 'fF'ish'' stood for an awful 1acing, the Tigers pounding him for nine hits in four innings. Love, Shawkey and Cu1Iop, who succeeded him. did much better, the three permitting only two hits among them in four innings. Both were made off Cullop, who also permitted one run in the eight. Cobb Hitting Features.
 It was-a Ty Cobb victory, as the Georgia Peach was the leading factor in Jennings scoring three runs, hit ting a, homer and a double, and reach ing base on an error and base on balls Ty also continually was wor- rying the entire Yankee team.

DUNDEE IN DRAW
 WITH LEONARD IN
 FIERCE ENCOUNT TER

Johnny Dundee, weighing 127 pounds, held Benny Leonard, who tipped the beam at 136 pounds. e-e@ in a furious ten-round bout at Madi- son Square Garden last night.
 First one boy was in first, and a, minute later he found himself on the receiving end of a welI-aimed fire. There never was slow. second in the entire thirty minutes of milling
 To size the affair up by rounds, we gave Leonard the first, seventh and eigth. The second. third and sixth belonged to Dundee. The others were even. With an even division of rounds, Dundee deserved a lot of cred it for forcing the battle. But Leon ards heavier hitting discounted this advantage.
 Dundee was the first to enter the ring. He was given rousing oav- ten, but it was nothing compared to that received by Leonard. Friends of the little Hebrew cheered him for fully five minutes. Joe Humphries, the eloquent announcer, informed the multitude that Leonard weighed 156 pounds, and Dundee 127. Leonard appeared fully a half dozen pounds over his best fighting weight Dun dee's condition was never better.

INDIAN TWIRLER LOOKS LIKE GOOD
 MAN FOR LOCAL s
BY Wa gner)

Even an Indian couldn't put the Indian sign on Bridgeport's foes of the ball field. A redskin named Fro, who halls from the happy hunting grounds of Springfield, tried to scalp Hartford yesterday but the best he got was the worst of it. He proved bad medicine for the Senators, al- lowing them only five hits, but a timely slam by Bad-man-in-the- pinches Pat O'Connor spilled the corn and venison.
 So Bridgeport lost by to 1. Fro who found him in the Springfield whof ound him in the Springfield and although trifle wild looks like a conner.
 Opposed to the Indian was Gero and when the umpire announced "Gero and Ero'' as the batteries the bleacherites guffawed loudly. Gero forgot the location of the plate at times but was steadied by O'Connor and was at his best in critical situa- tions. George Moshier slapped him for two singles. Of the seven hits made by Bridgeport two were doubles contributed by Baker and Deininger, These produced run in the first.
 Jack Dell made his opening appear ance at first for the locals. He ap- peared at home on the bag. At the bat he got no hits but managed to fie1ded sharply but Manning proved weak on ground balls in center. Hartford got three passes in the sixth and then Pat O'Connor came through with his poke that won the pastime. The details:

THOMAS LASHAR;
 LOCAL BOY,MADE COXSWAIN OF YALE


 New London, June 13-When liar yards varsity crew started away from the boat house shortly before o'clock last evening, Harry s. Mid dendorf. who rows at No. 6, was ab- sent from the boat. Dr. Denny, the crew physician. said Middendorf is i'll with a severe cold. and although the lailment is not of a serious nature, it was deemed, advisable to give the oarsmen a rest. .Mfddendorf rowed in the championship Henley crew two years ago and is considered one of the Crimson's star oarsmen./
 Ya1e's crews, which have been without a, shake-up for several days, had a shift in the Varsity boat last evening. Coxswain Allan McLane, who was looked upon as a sure fix ture, gave way to Thomas Lashar of Bridgeport. McLane, it is reported is too heavy to suit Coach Nickalls and since every pound counts as a handicap in four-mi1e race, Lashar, the lighter coxswain, was elected and will in all probability guide the boat in the race. All the Yale crews were kept above the two-mile mark about 6 o'clock, the same hour that liar yards shells were, on the river.

Griffith Won't Let Rival Club Purchase
 Backstop Ainsworth

New York June@1 S.-C1ark Griffith figures he was stung when he sold Chick GandiI to the Indians. He does- mt purpose to be stung again, how ever. He has another star on the market in Catcher Eddie Ainsmith. who for several years handled Wal ter Johnson's shoots.
 AAinsrnith has gotten into Grifdth's graces in much the same fashion as Gandil did, but Griffith. while de- termined to make the sale, doesn't propose to sell him anywhere that there's a possible chance of bolster ing up any team that might prove rival to Washington in the pennant fight.
 Griffith thought he had made sure this wouldn't happen when he sold GandiI to Cleveland. He couldn't see the Indians as anything but a second division team, even with Gandi1. He refused a much greater offer from the highly touted Chicago White Sox than the $5.O00 the Indians gave for Chick.
 The Speaker deal wasn't in sight then and if he had it to do over again filth doesn't. propose to be caught the same way twice. Therefore he is now engaged in strenuous little game of trying to get Ainsnith out the Ameri- can League.
 He has a deal already arranged to sell Eddie to the Phi1lies if he can get waivers from the other American Lea que clubs. But the New York Yam kees are crazy to get Ainsrnith- So each time Griffith asks for waivers the Tanks refuse and Griffith with draws his request for waivers only to renew it time and time again in hopes of wearing the Tanks out.
