TIGER CLUB
far BETTER
Than BEFORE

Interest in baseball, which was
apparently overshadowed by. war
news during the early part of the
training season, mas come to the
'front.' tremendously during the
past week. The Tiger team is
far" more popular today than 1t
was on the opening day a year
ago. This is undoubtedly due, for
one reason, to the clean manner In
which Russ Hall has gone ahead
with the management of the team,
even facing a financial calamity,
without any requests for charity
or public aid.
The Tiger team is composed of
fast, experienced men. The orig
inal idea of using youngsters has
been abandoned. The very best
professionals to be obtained in the
west have been brought here.
Tacoma's lineup looks 100 per
cent better than it did a year ago.
While the other teams appear to
be only up to the usual average.
The Tigers are very liable to sur
prise folks by taking a lead in
the league race this year and stay
ing there.

Guess Work Makes Low Yields

Guess work is out of place in farm
ing. The farmer must know his soil,
his stock, his crops, his costs Of pro-
duction and his yields if he is to suo-
coed in competition with his neigh bors
Upon the application of such definite
knowledge rests his ability to make his
soil produce crops profitably, his stock
to make economical gains and resulting
profits, and his year work to be pro-
fitab!e. Guess work is responsible for
low yields; the application of the know
ledge of the crops needs makes high
yields. When knowledge is gained,
crops and live stock, dairy cows, pigs
and fruit trees are fed properly and
are able each to do full share toward
the total net returns to the farmer.

PERIODIC EXAMINATIONS

Dentists say that each year an IN
creasing number of people realize that
" prevention is better than cure, ana
far cheaper. and come frequently for
nominations which will discover small
cavities long before they would cause
main or require costly and nerverack-
ing repair job. Garage men, similarly
state that the old experienced auto
mobile drivers bring their cars into the
shop more often nowadays, for the
tightening of nut here and a minor
adjustment which will insure longer
life of the car and greater pleasure TO
the owner
But the physicians among whom
have made inquiries, are not nearly SO
complimentary concerning the intel
lieent foresight of the public as it re-
lates to the early discovery of the be-
ginning diseases and disease tendencies
While client, now and then, presents
himself for voluntary examination and
advice. people generally, still wait for
distressing symptoms to arise before
consulting their physical ministers and
repair men.
Students of such chronic diseases as
tuberculosis, cancer and Bright's Dis
ease, which never causes pain in the
early stages, are convinced that the
only hope of reducing the now appall-
ing death rate lies in early discovery
and proper treatment. Such early dis
covery must depend upon the opportu-
nifty that is given to skilled physicians
to make examinations and records
which permit of early notice and cor
rect evaluation of Slight variations
from the patient normal state.

Growing a Crop of Pickles

A soil that will grow a good crop of
corn usually makes a splendid pickle
soil. While pickles do well on variety
of soils ranging from light sand to
heavy clay, the best soil for this crop
is rich sandy loan with a clay sub
soil and southern exposure. Much, and
poorly drained soils are not we'll suited
for pickles. If the heavy clay soils
are used for pickles they should be
supplied with organic matter, either
from green manure crops or well rotted
stable manure. Use well rotted maure
in preference to fresh or strawy
manure When possible work a fork

With early discovery, these students
promise favorable results in treatment
in the instance of cancer and
tuberculosis. In the instance of the de-
generative diseases of the heart, AFTER
les, kidneys, and nervous system, the
tendencies may frequently be overcome
and the patient be skillfnllv steered "a
way from what would otherwise be his
natural and untimely end.
Obviously, the physician cannot
apply the IAN ounce of prevention is
better than pound of cure theory
without the full cooperation of the
patient. The saving OF many lives and
much health will be accomplished
when physicians clients get the point
of view of those of the dentists and

ALL NEED CHANGE OF DIET
Winter Foods Should Not Be Contin-
ued During the Hot Days of
the Summer.

Change of diet is just as essential to
good health, once the warm weather
arrives, as change of clothes. No
one would think Of dressing in heavy
woOlenS, furS and velvets with the
thermometer soaring. Why, then, feed
the system during the hot days with
the same sort of heavy food which
makes up the winter menu?
Too few housewives realize that the
body Graves change of diet once the
warm weather sets in. They go on
serving in May hot soups, steaming
meats, heavy desserts, just as though
it were the middle of winter and then
wonder why their families do not seem
to relish their food.
Begin in May to serve summer
meals, for warm weather is then here
and a change of diet is necessary to
good health. Make the first change
in the appearance of the table. If
you have been in the habit of using
cloths use doilies during the sum-
mer season, as they give the appear
ance of GOODNESS and summer comfort.
They are, too, great saving Of labor
during the warm weather season. 1t
is no idle task to wash out big table
cloth once a berry stain mars it's
pristine beauty, but If dolly be-
comes soiled how easy 1t is to take
this single piece and dip it into the
tub. During the berry and fruit sea-
son, when so many spots are apt to
appear no matter how careful the din
ers, this labor-saving scheme should
be given consideration.
Some housewives go so far as to
substitute the paper doilies for the
linen ones, throwing them away as
they become soiled. These come in so
many pretty designs and are so mex
pensive that this form of table adorn-
ment is both pretty and economical.
