nuestions and Answers.

Solemn Old British Isle--I noted
with extraordinary interest an article
from your pen on the subject Of "Slip-
ping Cartilage" I have suffered with
such symptoms since I came over from
England a year ago. My last physi-
clan said / must have an operation.
But / think that is not necessary,
since you stated in the article that
your treatment consisting of "a
ounces of ether, an inch of good steel
and about twenty ounces Of plaster OF
paris is effective, VIII You kindly in
for me where ] can obtain the treat
ment you advise. A. z. d.
Answer-the ether is administered
by inhalation, the steel IS pushed in
gently but skilfulIy after the ether has
done its work, and the plaster of paris

War and Baseball.

Ban Johnson, president of the Amer
lean league, and N. II. Sexton, head
Of the National Association Of Base
ball leagues, have disagreed. Ban holds
that the leading players Of the big
leagues should be exempted from war
service to save the sport, holding that
the game would go 10 the dogs if the
stars were sent to the front.
The Rock Islander says it is idle to
imagine that the national sport would
be abandoned because d few familiar
faces were missing from the lineup,
but he is willing that this should
happen, much as he would regret to
see il, rather than delay day longer
than necessary the unpleasant Job
that we have before us on the OF A2r
side
Mr. Sexton maintains that this is
no time to be talking OF winning base

ed In right now Is in winning the war
And he is correct in his contention
and his distinguished contemporary ID
