PLAY BASEBALL IN FLANDERS
Canadians Take the Great American
Game Over Sea and Introduce It
In the Fighting Zone.

The baseball season has opened in
Flanders. The roar Of cannon can be
heard above the crack Of the bat and
ball, and spectators and players have
a lively time Of it.
The great American game has been
taken over to EurOpe's fighting zone
by the Canadians.
Each major unit Of the Dominion
forces has its team, and series OF
games has been scheduled. Prolonged
battles or great advances will, Of
course, Interfere with the schedule,
but nevertheless the games have been
arranged for and are eagerly antici-
pated. The baseball outfits including
uniforms, bats, balls, masks, gloves
and all the rest have been sent over
by patriotic Canadians. The news Of
victories on the diamond behind the
lines travels quickly to the men in the
trenches, where many cheer has
gone up, to the establishment Of the
Germans, who on frequent occasions

YOU NEED NOT SUFFER WITH
BACKACHE AND RHEUMATISM

For centuries GOLD MEDAL HARLEM
Oil has been standard household remedy
for kidney, liver, bladder and stomach
trouble, and all diseases connected with
the urinary organs. The kidneys and
bladder are the most important organs of
the body. They are the filters, the puri-
fers Of your blood. If the poisons which
enter your system through the blood and
stomach are not entirely thrown out by
the kidneys and bladder you are doomed.
WEAKNESS, sleeplessness, nervousness,
dependency, backache, stomach trouble,
headache, pain in loins, and lower abdo-
men, gall-stones, gravel, difficulty when
urinating, cloudy and bloody urine, rheu-
matism, sciatica, lumbago, all warn you
to look after your kidneys and bladder.
GOLD MEDAL HARLEM Oil Capsules are
what you need.
They are not a patent medicine" nor

They are the pure, original imported
HARLEM OH your great-grandmothe

healing, soothing oil soaks into the cells
and lining of the kidneys and through
the bladder, driving out the poisonous

health will come as you continue this
treatment. When completely restored to
your usual vigor, continue taking cap
sule or two each day. They will keep
you in condition and prevent a return Of

Individual Bookmarks.

A good idea for a simple little gift
for q book-lover Is to make personal
bookmark. 1t is made by embroider-
ing either the initial or the name on
a strip of linen, which is then finished
with an edging Of lace. This book
mark Is too thin to injure even the
most delicate book, it may be laun-
dered and thus kept immaculate, and
it clings to the paper and so does not
slip out as cards or metal markers are
given to doing.

Driving Nails Like Shooting Bullets.

A hammer which adapts the princi-
pie Of the military machine gun to the
more peaceful pursuit of carpentry
has been invented to save the time and
trouble Of getting and holding nails
in position with the left hand while
using the hammcl ith the right. A
trigger controls the feed Of the nails,
and a nail can be completely driven
in one stroke. By the use of such
device, which weighs about 80 ounces,
1t is no longer necessary for carpen-
ter to carry full pouch Of nails and
to adjust each one laboriously with
his fingers. ..

tiful. Now and then canned goods
were bought, and for the empty cans
plenty of uses were found. For in
stance, tomato plants were started in
them, standing-in the sunny kitchen
window long before the garden was
clear Of snow they were convenient
for holding paint when small job
had to be done, and the small boys
treasured them for holding their bait
for those adventurous and ever-to-be
remembered fishing excursions of
early summer. About all the tin cans
that came to farmhouse twenty-five
or thirty years ago were put to good
use.

and wilted walters attested to the heat
A military band, in white uniforms
clashed an accelerated air.
"Plenty of seats inside, SIR per-
suaded the head waiter.
what can you give us out hereT'
demanded Warren.
Nothing just now. If you care to
wait"
"Oh, look those people are leaving
over there by the railing" interrupted
Helen eagerly.
AS the departing couple rose, hastily
they edged their way through and took
triumphant possession of the table.
"Dear, this Is wonderful" turning
from the soiled dishes, Helen rested
her elbow on the railing and gazed
out at the smOldering sunset.
The heat mist, shrouding the hori-
xon, dimmed the fiery ball, already slip
ping into the sea.
ayes, we're in luck to get this. Look
at 'em coming"
A stream of people were turning in
from the boardwalk. Pausing on the
steps they would glance over the
crowded veranda, then reluctantly fol-
low the head waiter into the glaringly
lit dining room. -..
The sun now almost submerged,
couple of bell boys ran out to haul
down the flag that fluttered from
tall staff on the lawn. The band
struck up ''The Star-Spangled Banner"
and everyone rose.
Helen felt thrill Of patriotism as
she watched this military ceremony,
and gazed out across the ocean, be-
yond which so many countries were
devastated by war: The peaceful
crowd about her seemed"suddenly very
carefree and prosperous.
Here, clear this table--and take
my orderv .---..-. -.....
Warrens sharp complaint grated
harshly. 1t was enough just to sit
there and rest, without struggling for
service, which she knew from the
crowd would be slow.
"This isn't my table, sir. I'll send
your waiter"
FrOwningly Warren pushed back the
soiled' dishes and threw over them a
corner Of the coffee-strained cloth, res
cued a match safe from the clutter,
and lit a cigar.
"Is that large steamer" she was
gazing at the dark speck that headed
q trailing length Of smoke against the
skyline.
But Warren was watching an over
stout woman in an absurdly tight
gown, her fat hands crowded with dia-
monds and lumpish pearls embellishing
her ears. |
"Jove, I'd hate to buy food for the
females around here" he said, his
caustic glance wandering on to anoth-
er robust lady, her pink corpulence
bulging her thin white waist.
~ you'd hardly think she'd need furs,"
unused Helen, noting the white fox
scarf about her bulky shoulders.

up or close up. Give inspection cards
don't thcy?"
Yes, they've three ratings-good,
: fair ind bad. In any restaurant now
you can ask TO see their rate card
/ before you give your order. They've
got to show it," Then as their tray
laden waiter approached with a bow,
he passed on.
"Oh, l think that's a wonderful law"
enthused Helen, who never ate at a
restaurant without wiping off the
plates and silver, dubious ss to their
cleanliness.
Health departments having one of
its periodical spasms. Soon die down
and thingsll be as dirty as ever"
shrugged Warren pessimistscahy.
Let's have that salt-cellar-can't get
anything out of this"
Its the dampness," poking her fork
prong through the perforated top.
Then musingly, But surely the really
good places and the big hotels are fair
ly clean"
Wouldn't bank on It! Manage
ment may be all right, but they've got
lot of ignorant foreign help. Here,
did that fool waiter go off without CIV
ing us any butter?"
Dear, if they only started in yes
terday-I think they're doing well to
serve this crowd at ALL"
That's all right, but I'd like nap
kin, some butter, mustard, and that
bottle of bass. If they're not fixed to
serve properly-shouldn't open up til
they are"
Anything l can get you, sir?" 1t
was the head waiter this time.
Warren repeated his wants, and the
head waiter himself supplied them.
"We're not up to the mark this eve
ming, SIR" apOlogetically. 1--WE didn't
expect such q crowd"
Eyes, they've been coming In pretty
thick" admitted Warren.
"We1l have twenty more walters on
tomorrow night. Monday we start our
shore dinner-going to make that a
specially"
"How about the price?" cutting into
thick slice of roast beef.
"Only dollar and half, sir.
Well serve a dinner you can't touch
anywhere for less than two. And
we're going to keep our la carte bill
moderate. Mr.. Wilkins aims to make
the prices as low as he can and serve
good food" pausing to refill their
glasses as he was called away.
Drumming up CUSTOM" commented
Warren with disappearing sniff at
the blackened mustard jar. "They'll
not be, so keen when they get agoing."
A little later the proprietor, again
'hurrying by, stopped to inquire If they
were being well served.
"Dear, they're really very solicit
GUS"
"Well, I'd rather have little better
service and not so much solicitude,"
grunted Warren unimpressed.
"But we must come out and have
the shore dinner after they get start
3D." persisted Helen, susceptible to the
fiattering attention they had received.
Huh, they're hustling now to make
good. They're new and want to get
the crowd. But wait til they get 'em
coming They'll slam out grade q food
and soak you the limit. Moderate
prices" with snort. "That songll |
last about two weeks"
Crossville chronicle. [volume] (Crossville, Tenn.) 1894-current, 1917-10-03

Bout time TO let 'em know we're
here" belligerently. his Impotence
again fiaring up. Hold on, you the
waiter for this table?'
mo, sir, I'll send him to you"
Here perspiring waiter, his shirt
front bristling with checks, dashed up,
cleared the table and flung on damp
ly fresh cloth.
"Where're the roasts?" Warren was
scowling at the ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
dinner card. mo roasts, no vegetables
nothing but soup and cold meat?
What the Sam Hill does this mean?'
"Oh, here's notice." Helen read the
note at the bottom of the card.
The new management begs to an
nounce that this is but a temporary
menu. Within the next few days it
will be sufficiently augmented to af-
ford complete service"
Huh" growled Warren, we're In
for it all right" Then scanning the
soups, "St. Germain-those peas
canned or freshT"
Canned SIR" admitted the waiter.
"ConsOmme then" CURLY. Gold
roast beef and a bottle of bass"
Chicken salad and claret lemon
ade," contributed Helen. Then as the
waiter disappeared, Dear, that's not
so bad; it's too hot to eat much any
way. But you wouldn't think they'd
change management in the middle of
the season."
"Oh, these summer hotels are al
ways changing hands. Expensive
plants to keep up-and not much do
ing except Saturday and Sunday"
there's lighthouse?" she was
glancing out at the misty horizon, from
which flashed faint revolving light.
The dusk had deepened, and the arc
lights on the lawn lit up the benches
filled with the boardwalk crowd, that
had wandered In to listen to the mu-
sic.
Gee whiz. it's hot here! Not
breath of air. Bet it's ten degrees
cooler in town." wiping inside his COL
lar. "Boneheads to come down here
and put up with this crowd, heat and
rotten service. Darned sight more
comfortable home" e.
Another ten minutes and Warren,
glaring around for their waiter, was
on the verge of an explosive outbreak,
when the proprietor approached their
table.
"Are you getting served? Your Or
der been taken?" .....- -..
"It's been TAKEN" emphasized War
rem ungraciously.
Hurry along this gentleman's Or
der" swapping his fingers at pas
ing omnibus. Then to Warren, "We're
a little short-handed tonight. Just
took over the place yesterday, put in
a whole new crew-this is our first
meal"
"Only since yesterday" somewhat
notified. "Then you haven't had |
much time to get running

You ought've seen the kitchen. We
had seven men scrubbing all night
