port it would have been different story.
Davenport turned back the first nine batters
with no one reaching first. Judge opened the
fourth with q PASS.
Rice could have prevented the two runs In the
first. The double credited to Sloan was a line
drive which Sammy misiudged and shot foot
over his head.
The first hit and run for Magee since he
Joined the Brownies came in the second, when
he beat out a bounder off Leouard's glove.
Jacobson followed with a double, which scored
Lee from frst.
The Nationals were close to q hit In the

The first strike-out for Davenport was IN the

BOOMERANG ARGUMENTS.

Replying In public debate to the
liquor mans argument for compensa-
ton, DR.. Clarence True Wilson Said :
Suppose we grant that they (the
United States and the liquor seller)
are partners. Suppose two thieves are
in business to rob. One of them hits
the trail and gives up robbery and
crime. Would you say the other thief
has case for damages for injury to
his business by the conversion of his
partner?
q "When we stopped piracy on the
high seas, did we compensate the
pirate? When we stopped lotteries, did
we compensate those who conducted
them? Have we compensated dealers
in dope whose business was destroyed
by the Harrison act?'
Another point made much of by Doc
tor Wilson's opponent was that the
first year after prohibition went into
effect in West Virginia the governor
Of the state had to appeal to the legis-
lature for additional tax measures to
make up for the loss in revenue from
liquor. "And In the second year." Doc
tor Wilson replied, "West Virginia
swept her state debt off the map. To
day she stands among the leading
states of the Union in the amount of
surplus in her treasury"

ALCOHOL GETS MEDICAL TABOO.

ALCOHOL GETS MEDICAL TABOO.
At the annual meeting of the house
Of delegates of the American Medical
association, held in New York In June,
resolution was adopted condemning
the use of alcohol. Such resolution
was presented by DR.. Frank Billings
of Chicago, chairman Of the associa'
TONS council of health and public in
struction, and after discussion was
passed as follows:
Whereas, We believe that the use
of alcohol Is detrimental to the human
economy, and whereas its use in Their
apeutics as tonic or stimulant or for
food has no scientific value, therefore
BE it resolved, That the American
Medical association is opposed to the
use of alcohol as beverage; and
BE it further resolved, That the use
of alcohol as O therapeutic agent
should be further discouraged"
The American Medical association
has membership of 81 900 physicians
and surgeons.

CHAPTER xlV.-contInued.

He went up high in the air and ad-
juEting the electro-stylograph with
which all the aerodromones were
equipped, he began to send out calls
for Napoleon.
In few minutes the connection was
established and Santos told Napoleon
of his discovery.
Wait for me, my dear boy, am
coming" Santos saw Napoleon adjust
the mechanism to full power, then
dart forward. They spoke from time
to time, and Santos gave directions,
until he discovered in the southwest
ern sky the rapidly approaching Amer
lean Eagle.
They met on top Of the extinct vol
cano that was called Suemeg, on
whose slopes the richest grape vines
grew.
Napoleon shook Santos hand warm
ly and congratulated him on his dis
covery. After he had inspected the
ground thoroughly he could not find
words to express his joy, but as he
knelt there, looking up, his whole be-
ing expressed q silent prayer Of
thanksgiving toward the omnipotent
being who creates and governs the
universe.
We don't need TO look farther, San
tos; there is sufficient cirynith under
our feet 10 meet the demands of the
coming century"
They started homeward.
Napoleon communicated, through
his electro-stylograph with his friend
Kalmar, TO find out who owned the
property on which the peak of suemes
stood. After delay his questions
were answered. The peak, as part OF
the Schomburg Litbow estates, had
fallen to the crown, as the prince had
recently died without heirs. That was

THE WHOLE TRUTH.

"a lie that is part the truth Is ever
the blacklist Of lies" A part truth, ac-
cording to a liquor journal: Kansas,
bone-dry, has rs more prisoners in the
penitentiary than 1t had when drizzling
wet
The whole truth: The Kansas peni-
Tertiary is a federal prison and the
United States government sends more
prisoners there than to any other fed
eral prison because it has plenty of
spare room for outsiders and because
it is model of it's kind, improving
both the health aud the morals Of its
inmates.

for the Alaska fisheries-were recent
ly launched from one ship-building
plant in Seattle. Each was christened
with the sparkling nonalcoholic bever-
age, applestaff. The bottles were en-
twined in the national colors and hung
from the three prows on silken ropes
Of red, white and blue. The three
young women sponsors, said the Seat
tie Times, carried out the triple cere-
mony with great brilliancy. The crash
Of the bottles, sounding at ,ten-second
intervals, bathed the bows of the YES
