Four in a ROU for Giants,
Says StdLLingS, of Braves

George T. Stallngs, manager OF the
Braves, former Miracle Man, picks the Giants
tn win. SAYS George;
"I'l be surprised indeed II the Giants do
not win their series just easily and Just as
speedily as we won our ENHANCEMENT with
the Athletics. ChicagO's only hone rests on
Eddie CicOtte's ability to stop McGraw's
sluggers. and I'm convinced that he will go
down before the weight and dash OF the New
York RttI.ek, Just Alexander. Rudolph,
Nehf. Vaughan, Cooper and the rest Of the
NatiOnnl League stars have given way.
"If they do beat CicOtte in the OpeninE
game Of the series. and they will beat him
just as surely as Rowland starts him. New
York will win four straight games. They'll
show the SON the strongest and most et-
feCtve cifense that has been launched by any
major league club this year, and don't ever
believe that McGraw's own pitchers won't
stand up.
"Snllee and SchupD nre the greatest left
handlers in the country today, and Pol Per-
ritt ranks with the best Of the righthanders.
These three are all McGraw will need
against the White SOX. or would need against
any other club that could be sent against
them"

Whitemarsh Governors Enthusiastic
Notwithstanding the fact that the match
will be played on Sunday, when every
course is thronged with players, when the
match was put up to the governors of the
Whitemarsh Valley Country Club not
single governor voted against it, and the
members have cheerfully said that they are
delighted to have such fine match on their
course.
1t would be difficult to find any better
professionals in the country than Barnes
and Loos, and as the intention was to have
none but Philadelphia amateurs, no better
players could have been selected than BuX-
ton and Maxwell. Buxton, who only re-
Gently gave up his business in Dallas, Tex,

Humane Way to Kill Flies.

noticed in Sundays Journal cut
Of a valuable device for killing flies
invented by Irving P. Lorentz. The
idea is excellent, but I have very
serious criticism to make regarding
it. Mr.. Lorentz instructs that when
the trap is filled it be dipped into
boiling water. This would be most
horribly cruel, and is due doubtless
to lack of thought on Lorentz's part.
l did this some years ago. had
caught some hundreds of flies in a
similar trap and dipped them into a
pail of boiling water, and left them
in it about an hour. On taking
them out about one-tenth were alive.
The thought of the agony they en-
dured has not left my memory yet.
While they are pests, they are inno-
cent and should be put to death pain
lessly. Immersing them in cold Wa
ter and leaving them a few hours
will be effectual. | am sure Mr..
Lorentz will agree with me.-Mil-

CORN MEAL.
By Carl Vrooman. Assistant Secretary
of Agriculture.

Corn meal is cheap and valuable
food stuff which is not in as general
use in the American home as it
ought to be. A pound of dry corn
meal provides about five times as
much energy and five times as much
tissue-building protein as does a
pound Of raw potatoes At present
prices, a pound of corn meal costs
from one-third to one-sixth as much
as pound of potatoes.
When potatoes are scarce or ex-
pensive, corn meal makes an excel
lent substitute. Corn meal is not
however, perfect substitute for po-
tatoes because it is prepared by mod
ern milling methods; it contains few
er minerals and other valuable sub
stances than do potatoes. When,
consequently, corn meal is substitut-
ed for potatoes, the diet should be
balanced with another vegetable, a
salad or fruit.
Corn meal mush for breakfast or
supper is standard and palatable
dish. Fried mush is an excellent
substitute for fried potatoes. There
are dozens of corn meal dishes in
addition to the different varieties of
corn bread. What is known in the
North as Boston brown bread is COM
posed of about half rye meal and
half corn meal. Polenta is another
corn meal dish, extremely popular
throughout southern Europe and in
certain parts of the United States.
The tomale is another corn dish
which is in high favor when we'll
made.
If spectators corner the potato
crop, or if the potato cropvas was
the case in 1916-should be short,
corn meal is the next best thing. Of
course, rice is also a partial substi-
tute for potatoes, but rice at present
costs more than corn meal.
Corn meal is a wholesome and
typical American food.

LAND MIGHT GO DRY.
No Steps to Bring About Prohibition
Unless Crop Failure Demands 1t.

Washington. April 20.-Final de-
termination of the government at
titude on the production of intoxi-
eating liquors during the war will
await the return to the United States
of Herbert G. Hoover, now in Eu-
rope, who will head the food board
named by the Council of National
Defense
Administration officials consider
the question pressing only as it con-
Germs the protection of soldiers and
sailors from liquor.
No steps to bring about general
prohibition will be advocated unless
the grain shortage makes such a
course essential.

The Allies Fight for Democracy.

The outbreak of the struggle took
the president, in common with prac-
tically all Americans and most Euro
peans, by surprise. 1t was only af-
ter neutrality was announced that
there was time to begin to study in
to the causes and possible effects.
The public in the United States i'm
mediately crystallized it's opinion
about the responsibility for starting
the war and the merits of the two
sides. With the exception of a Ger
man-born, a portion of the Jews, and
part of the Irish, America hoped
then as now that Germany would be
defeated. But this hope was found
ed mainly on the belief that Ger
many and her satellites were wrong
in their quarrel with the rest of Eu-
rope. 1t was founded very little on
the belief that the struggle concern
ed America or American institutions.
In various quarters, however, as
time went on it became plain that,
whatever other characteristics, the
struggle had, one thing was certain
if Germany won, world democracy
would receive a terrible blow; if
Germany were defeated, democracy
would receive a tremendous i'm
petus.
Out of this perception grew the
phrases that the allies or that Eng
land was fighting our battle-the
battle of ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Work.
The Bamberg herald. [volume] (Bamberg, S.C.) 1891-1972, 1917-04-26

through the agency of peasant who
used a divining rod. Interest in this
case was intense and widespread and
called forth large amount of liter
ature. AS late as 1903 this peasant
was employed to point out with his
divining rod Protestants for mas
sacre under the plea of punishment
for crimes they had committed. The
divining rod was in some respects
closely related to witchcraft, as is
suggested by the use of incantatlons
in connection with divining, and to
this relationship may be ascribed IN
some measure the Strengthening or
belief in it. Witchcraft at that time
had become a frenzy, and anything
which by any stretch of the imagina-
ton could be suspected of implica-
ton with witchcraft became a sub
ject of discussion and the basis OF
firm opinions and beliefs. In 17O1,
however, the inquisition issued de-
cree against the further use of the
divining rod in criminal prosecution,
and this use of the device rapidly
came to an end.
Recent Discussions.
In the latter part Of the eighteenth
century an attempt was made to ex-
plain water witching as an electric
phenomenon, and and later it was
discussed as a psychic phenomenon.
At almost every step in the advance
of science some one has attempted
to explain it's supposed operation by
means of the latest scientific the
cries
Before the present war there were
several societies in Germany whose
sole object was said to be the study
of the divining rod. In 1910 the de-
partment of agriculture of France
appointed a committee to investigate
the subject, and in 1914 this commit
tee was still investigating.

Home testimony for Doan's Kidney
Pills, published in every locality, is OF
itself convincing evidence OF merit.
Confirmed testimony forms still

zen of Bamberg gratefully acknow'
lodged the benefit derived from
Doan's Kidney Pills. The statement
is now confirmed proof more

being laid for this purpose in the bed
with newly baptized child, by whose
Christian name it was afterward ad-
dressed. 1t is readily conceivable
that the motive for surrounding this
practice with a religious atmosphere
might not have been altogether be-
lief in it's divine character, for at
that time anyone found engaged in
mysterious works was in danger of
being charged with sorcery and burn
ed to death.
Its Use in Detecting Criminals.
The divining rod continued to be
a favorite subject with alchemistic
writer's until about 1860, when a
new turn of affairs was brought
about by a Jesuit father, who de-
nounced it as in instrument controll-
ed by the devil The subject was
then taken up by the church, and for
more than 100 years it was hotly de-
bated by churchmen. Some APPROX
ed of it and authorized it's use on
church property; others condemned
it and threatened those who used 1t
with accommodation. In 1892. the
year of the Salem witchcraft, its no
toriety was greatly increased by the
arrest and execution of criminal
