that the record for OutfieId as
sists made in 1906 by Harry
Niles, who. when with the st.
Louis Browns had 30 to his
credit. has not yet been sur
passed.
The statistics would indi-
cate that the fielding average
OF the men in the gardens in
both the American and Ma
fiOnal leagues has not i'm
proved since Niles made his
record. The figures for the
most part show a decided
slump in the records of the
game since 1906. The figures
of the last ten years years are
only about half AZ good as the
fielding average up to 1900.

Start the Fight Early

Government scientists call atten-
ton to the Importance of starting an
early fight on flies. The fly causes
more disease than any other pest.
They thrive in filth, in manure piles,
in garbage, outhouses, etc. They
carry their disease through the house
to the people and to animals. Every
effort should be made, the doctors say,
to keep the premises clean and go
after the flies early in the spring.
They suggest the use of powdered
hellebore mixed in water and sprink-
led over manure piles to destroy the
larvae.

CHURCHES AND FOOD SAVING

ooutnern Methodist and Baptist
Churches Will Cooperate With the
Food Administration-Gen. Carr
Will Serve on Staff of Herbert
Hoover
At the request Of Herbert Hoover,
food administrator for the United
States, Gen. Julian S. Carr of Dur
ham has accepted a position on Mr..
Hoover's staff ard will serve without
pay during the entire war. Gen. Carr
will move to Washington and devote
almost his entire time to the work
which he and Mr.. Hoover will outline
until the war is ended, according to
a Washington dispatch. Gen. Carr
is veteran of the Civil war and
commander of the army of Northern
Virginia, Confederate Veterans.
He was appointed to this position
at conference of representatives of
the Methodist Church, South, who met
in Washington last week. The church
also appointed a commission on food
conservation to direct it's cooperation
with the food administration in ev-
cry possible way. This commission
is made up of Is members represent
ing the various organizations within
the church.
The representatives of Southern
Methodism in conference formally
recorded their confidence in the food
administration. The conference laid
stress on the advantages of the plan
for having weekly reports from
church members on food saving ac-
. complished, and termed use of food
! stuffs in the manufacture of alcohol
''an unpatriotic and indefensible
waste.
An executive committee to direc
food conservation among the 5000,
900 members of Baptist churches il
the South was formed in Washing
ton last week at meeting of spec
ial commission of the Southern Bap
fist convention with the food admin
istration. 1t also was decided tina
leading Baptists would be requestet
I to carry on an educational campaign

and that churches should be aske
