FISK EMPLOYEES HAVE
ATHLETIC ORGANIZATION

one OF the largest and most success
ful factory athletic organizations in the
country is that formed among the EN-
ployes OF the Fisk Rubber company at
Chicopee Falls, Mass.
II Is organized under the name OF the
Fisk Athletic association and IS reg
istered member OF the A. 4. L. Its

plete and comprehensive of any OF its
kind. In addition 10 supporting an
all star base ball team. known as the
Red Tops. there Is conducted the Fisk
six.team league. which Is regularly
playing some OF the best baseball IN the
vicinity and affording amusement and
recreation FOR the employees OF all de-
partments. These teams are all uni
formed at the associations expense, and
the games are played on Fisk Park, a

 CHILDREN NOT

Mothers Are Careless.

Children are not to blame when cross, feverish, not eating right, sleep less, nervous and all out of sorts. If notice the little danger signals, they will find the tongue coated and the breath hot and bad, a sure sign of overworked and loaded acid stomachs, indigestion and c1ogged intestines.
 This condition can be stopped in a few hours with a good dose of a sim pie old remedy that has been handed down for generations in thousands of families, Mrs. Winslow's Soothing Syrup" a harmless but sure laxative which a mother worked out and used for her children and grandchildren. Like all good things which have small beginning 1t spread to ali the neigh bors and still it grew until now you can get it in any good drug store in the world.
 Millions of mothers today swear by Mrs. Winslow's Sothing Syrup" and the children love it, they like the taste and it heals, kills cramps, sweet ems and cleanses their sour little stomachs gently and thoroughly.

BERLIN PLATED OVER FEAT.S OF
 OCEAN RAIDER

Berlin, Jan. 19 (via London)- News of the safe arrival of the Var roWdale in German port has added to the qualification expressed in the German press over the exploits of the mysterious German commerce raider, as reported from British sources. The name of the cruiser and it's command CT and all details regarding it's size, speed and armament are withheld by the naval authorities, and nothing was known until today about the ar rival of the Yarrowdale, although she has been in port for more than a fortnight.
 The nationality of the neutrals among the captured crews is un- known, but some of thee aptives are held as prisoners of war because they accepted service on armed merchant men. The prize commander, Petty Officer Badewitz, was a member of the crews of the raider Moewe and was in command of the British ship Westbourne which brought the crews of a number of ships sunk by that raider to Teneriffe. He afterward destroyed the Westbourne to prevent her from falling into the hands of English cruisers. Badewitz was held in Spain after the Teneriffe exploit, but succeeded in escaping.

RAW FOOD DIET

In this age of acute indigestion and appendicitis say nothing about dyspepsia, infantile paralysis, and the slow but sure tuberculosis-the question of food and diet is worth a most careful study.
 The raw foodists make no reserves and say all, diseases of man have their -fncipiency in waste matter ac- cumulated in the body
 They also say that fatigue is caused only by a poison instilled into the blood by improper food and that no one can possibly feel fatigued, how ever, hard he or she may work. un- less the poison is there. One becomes sleepy, but that is another matter; fatigue and sleepiness arc quite for eign to one another. raw food meal could begin with some ripe. olives.

tor with the permanent rank of Rear Admiral, will be the ranking medical officer of the navy for eleven years, when he will reach the retirement age. pr. Grayson will be the sec ond ranking medical officer of that period and will then become the ranking member of his corps, with fifteen years additional to serve be- fore retirement for age. Nearly every officer whom Dr. Grayson will jump if his nomination is continued by the Senate is older than he. Under his new commission, he would be se- nior to every officer of the medical corps except Dr. Braisted for 26 years.
 It was made known yesterday that the Senate in executive session, short ly after receiving the nominations of Dr. Grayson and the heads of the Construction, Medical, Pay and Civil Engineering Corps to the new rank of Rear Admiral, confirmed the nom- ihation of Chief Constructor David W. Taylor in the higher permanent rank, but sent the other nominations to the committee on Naval Affairs. The prompt confirmation of Chief Constructor Taylor was due. to the fact that he was. the head of his corps, and would not displace any other officer. It was apparent that some Senators desired :. to scrutinize the proposed promotions of the other officers nominated, all of whom will jump a considerable number of off, iers who are at present their seniors.
 While there is nothing yet to in- dicate whether there is possibility of the rejection of the nomination of Dr. Grayson, it is certain that the opposition has become pronounced enough to delay it e4' greatly. It is quitep ossible that a filibuster may be started against it which. would last until the end of the present ses- sion of Congress, March 4, althoogh no definite plans of this nature have vet been formslated.
 pr. Graysons has been the personal aid to the President since MT. Taft's Since President Will son has been in the White House he has become a close friend and com panion of the President while acting as his medical adviser, and it is due to his care that the Presidents pres ent excellent physical condition is at tributed. His promotion probably would not change his duties at the White House.

CRIMSON GETS
 OPPOSITION TO
 HIS PROMOTION

Washington, Jan. 2O-Decided op- position developed in the Senate yes terday to the confirmation of Dr. Cary T. Grayson, U. s. N., as a Med ical Director, with the rank of rear admiral Dr. Grayson, who is Presi- dent Wilson's physician and aid, was nominated by the President yesterday over 137 officers in intervening grades of the naval medical service. Dr.. Grayson is passed assistant surgeon with the rank of a lieutenant, but was about to be promoted to surgeon with the rank of lieutenant-com- mander in regular course.
 The Republican members of the Senate discussed the question of con- firmation informally among them selves, and a general agreement was reached to oppose the confirmation. It is practically certain, however, that the opposition will by, no means be confined to the Republicans. There is feeling among many men on both sides that Dr. Grayson should not have been promoted over the heads of so many men of greater experience and his seniors in age and time of service, in spite of their personal liking for the man himself and their belief in his ability as a surgeon.
 One Democratic Senator said that he had been told by a Democratic colleague that he regarded the nomi- nation as Outrageous" and that this man at least did not intend to vote for confirmation. Several of the Re- publican members were. much dis turbed because they said that an at tempt was made yesterday. by some of the Democrats to rush the confirmo- tion through as soon as the appoint ment was announced without giving the Senate time to realize what it meant.
 The dissatisfaction with the Presi- dents appointment of Dr. Grayson was further emphasized by many in- formal protests from officers in all branches of the navy which reached various Senators yesterday. Most of these protests emphasized the belief of their sponsors that Dr. Grayson was entirely capable of filing the higher office with complete satisfac- tion and that theobjection was in no sense personal. The chief cause of complaint was that pr. Grayson's ap- pointment at the age of 38 left those beneath him practically no chance of preferment, since he would be in the service much longer than most of those inferior to him in his new rank, while the feeling that it was "per- sonar' and not essentially an official promotion ranked.
