FIFTEEN PLAYERS HIT
 OVER 400 IN 1887.
This Record Has Never Been Ap-
 preached Since That Season.

What do you know about a baseball season that produced Is pastimers with a batting average of 400 or bet ter? You guessed right. It happened in the olden days of big league pastim- ing, in the days of which grandfather likes to tell of how they pickled the pill
 Thirty years ago the National league and the American association held the spotlight in baseball, as do the Ma tional and American leagues today It was ther-in 1887, to be exact-that the hardest hitting on record came to pass. In that year the American as- sociation records showed Il players with a batting average of 400 or better The players were O'Nei, Caruthers and Robinson of St. Louis, Browning Stovey of the Athletics. Bedford and Orr of the Metropolitans, Burns of Baltimore and Burch of Brooklyn.
 Quartette of Hitters.
 The same season the National league the 400 set, the players being Anson of Chicago. Ferguson of Philadelphia and Brouthers and Thompson of De- troit.
 Only once since the memorable sea- son of 1887 have there been more than two 400 wallopers in one year. In 1894 Duffy of Boston, Thompson of De- troit and Delehanty and, Turner of
 
 champion. circle. Since 1912, the last time Ty Cobb turned the trick, no big time leader has hit for 400.
 It would seem that the National league gave up the business of develz oping 400 swatterS when the American league came into existence. The par ent organization hasn't owned 400 hitter since 1899. when Ed Delehanty and Jesse Burkett hit for the high mark. Three American leaguers, La joie, Cobb and Jackson, have turned in a. seasons batting card with an aver age of 400 or better
 Thirty-one Have Hit 400.
 All told there have been 31 pastimers who hHve hit for the 400 or better since the big show was organized. Seven have been repeaters, among them Ross Barnes and Jesse Burkuett who stayed in the 400 set three sea sons, and Ty Cobb, Ed Delehanty, Sam Thompson, Pop Anson and Harry Srovey, with records of two seasons
 Ty Cobb is the only present day player who stacks up with the old time sluggers.

IN FIVE MINUTES
"PAPE'S DIAPEPSIN" is THE
BEST ANTAcID AND STOMACH

breath foul; tongue coated; your in

remember the moment "Pape's Dia-
pepsin" comes in contact with the
stomach all such distress vanishes.
It's truly astonishing-almost mar
velous, and the joy is its harmless
ness.

children hear comparatively little OF the Won
lderful benefits which political and social or
CARNATIONS in tbs country confer upon them IN
almost every detail Of daily life. They hear q
great deal Of criticism of the administration OF
public affairs TO an immature understanding
it might even seem that we Americans live in a
state of battle with our official admlnlstra-
tons, with our public servants, with one an
other The references to the county, state ana
local governments in way Of appreciation are
perfunctory.
Teaching by negatives is sometimes good
educational practice. If our young people were
to visualize picture of what life III this coun-
try would be without the protection and powers
which constitute what we mean by the nation,
they would receive lasting lesson IN patriot
ism Patriotism will not be well taught by
platitudes; it must be taught as a necessity to
decent life proved by plain facts. Lincoln
Memorial university is good place for teach
ing patriotism, but so is every school IN TINS
land. What we need most is intelligence about
the real Importance of loyal service and deeper
to the country. HI "a

Lost time is never found again, and time
enough always proves little enough.-Ben
Franklin.
WE ARE NOT so CREDULoUs.

Says Dr. Won Bethmann- Holweg, German i'm
perial chancellor Germany never had the
slightest intention Of attacking the United
States Of America and does not have such in
tention now 1t never desired war against the
United States of America and does not desire
it today If the wind blows from the west,
there are some people who will insist that it is
blowing from the east; to them white is pal
pably black. Yet il may be believed that all
contrary disputants are not brainsoft. Some of
them, like DR.. Won Bethmann-H olweg, are of the
plain garden variety Of trflers with the
truth. When the chancellor declares that
Germany never had the slightest intention Of
attacking the United States of America he
runs contrary to the record Of his own govern
ment in its official document declaring an in
tention to wage unrestricted submarine war
fare against the commerce of the world. And
the United States of America has right to con-
slider that it has some large interest in world
commerce. And it has mind and sight enough
to realize that several of its merchantmen have
fallen victims to Germany's submarine warfare
and that the lives of Americans have been lost
or put IN jeopardy.
''Gcrmany never had the sli ghtest intention
of attacking the United States of America. -
How about the attempts of the imperial gov
eminent to embroil neutral countries in plots
against the United States7 Was not the Zm-
norman note to Japan and Mexico an act of war
against this country and may it not be re-
garded evidence that the German chancel-
Tor is fabricating? 1t would be insulting to the
intelligence of Dr. Won Bethmann-H oweg were
we to intimate that he considers the United
States a nation of credulous fools

A COURSE IN PATRIOTISM,

Mayor Thompson of Chicago has endowed
professorship Of patriotism in Lincoln Memoir
al university; the donor declares his belief that
such department of instruction is needed.
There can be no question that patriotism in this
country has become an abstraction. There are
but few and scattering elements among who
lacking patriotism but there are q great
many of us in whom the feeling of unity in a ma
tional body is hardly real one. Even COM
munity spirit has become vague; and just in
proportion as the community has taken over
the supply of helpfulness which the neighbour
hood once afforded. The more the care Of pub
lie services, utilities and conveniences becomes
everybody's business and is delegated to hired
laborers the less the realization of the fact that
it is the people, one and ALL who are responsible
for these
Routine is a killer of appreciation. Our

TODAY'S BIT OF VERSE
NEVER DIES THE DREAM,

NEVER DIES he DREAM.
Who dreams shall live, And if we do not dream
Then shall build no temple into time.
Yon dust cloud, whrling slow against the sun,
Was yesterdays cathedral, stirred to gold y,
By needless footsteps Of passing world
The faiths Of stone and steel failed Of proof,
The king who made religion of sword
Passes, and is forgotten in day. ,' -,
The crown he rots at a ly's root,
The unfurs her banners DER his dust.
The dreamer dies. but never dies the dream,
Though death shall call the whrIwnd to his aid,
Enistments passions, trick their hearts with hate
Still shall the Vision live! Say nevermore
That dreams fragile things. What else endures
OF all this broken world save only dreams!

The Enemy Of Uric Acid
is Anuric
(By L. II. Smith, NJ. d.


In spite of the best care one takes
OF oneself any part of the human
machine is liable to become out of
order. The most important organs
are the stomach, heart and kidneys
The kidneys are the scavengers
and they work day and night in
separating the poisons from the
blood. Their signals of distress are
easily recognized and include such
symptoms as backache, depressions,
drowsiness, irritability, headaches,
dizziness, rheumatic twinges, dropsy,
govt.
The very best way to restore the
kidneys to their normal state is to
drink plenty of pure water and OBJ
tain a small amount of Anuric,
which is dispensed by most every
druggist Anuric double strength
is inexpensive and should be taken
before meals. 1t is much more
potent than lithia and many find that
Anuric dissolves uric acid as water
does sugar.
People are realizing more and
more every day that the kidneys, just
as do the bowels, need to be flushed
occasionally The kidneys are an
eliminatiVe organ and are constantly
working, separating the poisons from
the blood. Under this continual and
perpetual action they are apt to con-
gest, and then trouble starts. Uric
acid backs up into the system. eaus-
ing rheumatism, neuralgia, dropsy.
and many other serious disturbances
It means that you are a victim to
uric acid poisoning. Then ask your
druggist for Anuric, which was first
discovered by DR.. Pierce Of the Sur
gical Institute in Buffalo, and which
is dispensed by nearly every drug
Rist in the land.

Cedar Rapids Republican,: The

is no fault of ours-and it is no fault

fact that the British navy Is still in

MoRGAN's FINE ACTION.

That he is not likely to lose more than the
interest on the money does not alter the fact
that J. p. Morgan did fine thing in advancing
a million dollars to pay for army supplies
needed by the government. Three weeks ago
the government stopped payment for goods be-
cause owing to the failure OF congress to pass
the army appropriation bill, it had no funds
which could be used for this purpose. The stu
alton was serious, not only for the government
but for the firms that had furnished supplies
required by the army and for which no pay
nent had been made. When it was explained
to J. P Morgan & Co., Mr.. Morgan said he
thought the firm ought to advance the million
dollars needed, without interest, and that If
there was any loss he would assume it himself.
His action was as fine as it was timely. Prompt
action was required in the public interest, and
a private citizen was able to do what at the
moment the government could not do for itself.
