SLEEPlNESS AFTER MEALS.
1t indicates Something Wrong With thu
Digestive System.

\ condition Of drOWShesS, which
may become an Irresistible desire to
take a nap shortly after eating. is
usually Il very accurate indication that
something is WRONG with the digestive
apparatus. Usually this form Of indi-
geStiOn is chronic in character, and ap-
parentiy there is no other evidence that
it exists. or ut least such evidence
would not be detected by ordinary OBJ
seryatiOn.
III such cases the desire to take nap
comes OH suddenly, but the nap Is
very short one, ordinarily not more
than fifteen minutes. Sometimes the
desire for these indigestion maps
comes on at other periods than those
immediately following meals, but in
such cases this desire comes regularly
at certain periods Of the day. The
cause. however, is the same as in cases
where drowsiness comes on immediate
" after the meal. the difference in time
being simply the difference in the In
terval required for the food to reach
the portion of the intestinal tract that
is not working properly.
Occasional drowsineSs following an
unusually hearty meal should not be
confused with the type Of periodic de-
sire for short nap referred to here.
Such drowsiuess indicates simply that
the digestive apparatus is temporarily
oyerworked and may be in a perfectly
healthy condition. This sort Of drowsi-
ness, if INDUCED usually persists for
several hours. whereas the maps caused
by indigestion are always of short du-
fation.-Exchange.
Soap an Antiseptic.
Some medical authorities, explaining
the abatement of epidemic diseases In
recent years. are sufficiently free from
professional ties to attribute this bet
terment of conditions not to medical
science, but TO the increased use OF
soap and water. Many medical author
tiles hold the opinion that with a clean
house and clean person no one need
have much fear of infection. A writer
in the New York Medical Record says:
Soap is HOW recognized to be anti
septic and to be ettcacious must pro-
duce lather. Bacteria rubbed into
soap or dropped Oh its surface are in
capable of multiplication. The typhoid
bacillus is very sensitive to soap, being

When Hal Chase won the National
League batting championship last
year It was not surprising.
Chase has been I'm major league
baseball, for years and had seldom
fallen out OF the select 800 circle.
The leading batsman Of either of
the big leagues can usually be guess
ed at fairly close by knowing the
fellows who have been hitting the
ball from 1926 10 $50 in former years.
As a general rule 1. Is just a matter
OF breaks between a few Of the best.
In the American League Cobb has
he'd a corner on the honors with the
exception Of one season for II years.
In the National League It used to
be Wagner. then Zimmerman grabbed

new precedent in 1917.
Only ono OF the four now perched
at the top has ever before won any
recognition as a batter.
Roger Hornsby batted well in 1916
Evening journal., 1917-08-03

but many believed he was just a
flash IN the pan"
But It isn't Hornsby who mas the
inside track for National League bat
ting honors.
Unless one OF the other strikes a
slump It looks like It Will be either
Cruise the St. Louis fence buster or
Rousch the Cincinnati demon.
With 100 guesses at the leading
batsmen Il is unlikely that a recog-
nized, baseball critic would have pick
ed either one Of the two when the
season started.
Cruise was an unknown quantity.
He had been with St. Louis a while
in 1914 and had batted .227. where
upon be was sent back 70 the minors.
The mex. year he batted .297 with St.
Paul and last year .294 with the
same club. VINO would have picked
him as a leading batter against Ma
tional League pitching?
Rousch was better known. Last
year he batted ,267 with Cincinnati
and New York. The year before h,
lift 29S with the Newark Feds.
When the season started he was
no bright prospect for leading bat
ting honors. Anyone who suggested
that he would outhi. his teammate
