Considering that the team left home
in eighth place and apparently in the
throes OF a grievous slump, the record
in the West is greatly to be praised.
Breaking even on the road Is good
enough for most teams.
The two special cars carrying the
big leaguers and their retainers got
into this town early this morning and
were sidetracked. Tonight they will
be hooked up with the train for Chi
cago, being due to arrive there to-
morrow morning.
Heavy rain postponed today's exhi-
bition game here between the Griff-
men and the local Three Eye Leag-
uers. Manager Griffith has agreed to
play II on July %. the next time his
team is going East from st. Louis.
Players Visit Homes.
Bert GaIlia and his wife and George
Dumont went on tn Chicago last
night, while Sam Rice was allowed
to visit his home at Wauseka, Ill. All
the other Grihmen came here. Nc
Bride will visit his Milwaukee friends
during the stay in Chicago and Char
rity will also go up to Beloit, Wis,
to see his folks.
The final game with the Brownies
was postponed when a heavy shower
burst upon the Mound City within an
hour Of game time. Manager Grif-
nth wanted to stage the contest even
before empty benches, but Fielder
Jones, remembering the weakened
condition OF his OUTFIT, ruled against
II, and SO there will be a double
header on the next visit OF the GrifEs
to ST. Louis.

The food conservation division Of
the food administration is asking all
housekeepers to do lot of thinking
and managing these days.
If fresh fruit is used instead of pies,
puddings and cakes this season, it will
mean a great saving of flour, sugar
and lard, while vegetables to large
extent can take the place of meat.
We will lose nothing by thus sub
stitution, for we, as nation, eat far
too little fruit and vegetables. We toll
crate, for instance q dish of sliced
fruit for breakfast, but if we hove the
same dish served for dessert at dinner
we feel we have been cheated.
This is an attitude of mind that the
housekeeper must discourage. But, of
course, do not tamper with your fam
ily's temper by serving sliced fruit
every dessert. Write today to the de-
partment of agriculture, Washington,
d. G., for Farmers Bulletin 293. This
is full of suggestions as to how to
serve fruit simply and attraetively.-
