About Constipation

Certain articles of diet tend to check
movements of the bowels. The most
common of these are cheese, tea and
boiled milk. On the other hand raw
fruits, especially apples and bananas,
also graham bread and whole wheat
bread promote a movement of the bow
els. When the bowels are badly con-
stipatcd, however, the sure way is to
take one or two of Chamberlain Tab
lets Immediately after supper.

A Hint to the Aged

If people past sixty years of age
could be persuaded to go to bed as soon
as they take cold and remain in bed for
one or two days, they would recover
much more quickly, especially if they
take Chamberlain Cough Remedy.
There would also be less danger of the
cold being followed by any Of the more
serious diseases.

1t Is reported that Chairman Herr
mann of the national commission has
| written to Gen. Crowder. asking him
to tell local draft boards not to en-
force the order on world series par
ticipants until that event is decided.
1t is to be hoped Hermann has done
nothing of the kind. Such action could
be termed only ill-advised. Gen. Crow
der made his recommendations in re-
gard to base ball at the time he was
called upon to do SO by Secretary Baker.
Official Washington has disposed of
the status of the sport as far as it is
concerned. and any further requests
for extensions. time of grace or modi-
flcations would be in extremely bad
taste. The government authorities at
the capital have decreed that Septem-
should give UP diamond activity.
which has been classed as non-pro-
| ductive. and engage in essential work.
., II there is to be any elasticity in
dividual cases it will devolve upon the
local draft boards. This was demon
trated yesterday when. according TO
President Frazee. four members of the
| Boston Americans, prospective world
| series contestants. received permission
| from their exemption boards to ttake
| part In the title games. The players
are Harry Hooper. captain and out
] fielder Of the club: outfielder Amos
Strunk. Shortstop Everett Scott and
First Baseman Stuffy McInnis These
men had applied to their boards to
| have the work-or-fght regulations not
apply to them until after the post
season series is ended, and were noti-
! fed they would be permitted to play
| through September Is. 1t is likely the
| local draft boards governing the other
players will take like action. Several
/ players of the Chicago Cubs, pennant
winners-elect in the National League,
are said to have received similar as
surances. although not actually Off
cially notified to this effect as yet.
1t practically is assured now that
the series will start September 4
Ih1s being the case. the four victories
necessary to a decision easily could
be obtained in the eleven days re-
naming before the 18th, even with
such long jump as that between
Boston and Chicago. That these cities

Record for Long Games

Statistics on the subject are not
available. but it is believed the Wash
ington club this season has estab-
lished what constitutes a record in
the number OF extra inning games
played. The Nationals to 2 vic
tory in fourteen innings over St.
Louis yesterday was the twenty-third
overtime battle they have participated
in this season. They have taken part
in 115 games all told, one-fifth of
which have required more than nine
innings. One Of the marathon COM
two Washington has won twelve and
lost ten. Walter Johnson has been
mixed up in fifteen of them, of which
number he lost the verdict in seven.

MUST GO UP AND OVER
Ordinary Hurdle Race Tame Com
pared With Obstacles Soldiers
Must Overcome.

An obstacle course which makes the
OF dinary hurdle race seem tame in
comparison has been introduced at
Camp Kearny. Cal, by the War De-
partment commission on training
camp activities at the suggestion OF
DR.. Joseph E. Raycroft, director of
the athletic division of the training
camp commission. which he made on
a recent visit to the camp.
The obstacles have been arranged
with a view to acquainting the sol
diers with the conditions they will en-
counter in actual warfare. Among
them are brush hurdles, a shallow
trench seven feet wide, wire entangle-
ments. fence three and one-half feet
high, plank bridges over sixteen-foot
trenches and q seven-foot wall which
must be scaled within one minute
after reaching It without assistance
except when the ride is used in the
drill. Then tho men may aid one an
other.
According to John r. Case. athletic
director of the training camp COM
mission at Camp Kearny. the obstacle
, course serves to take the fear out OF
the men and makes them tackle un-
usual barriers with more dash and
resolution. The wire entanglements
and the seven-foot wall give them the
most trouble, he says In a recent
test in which 121 men participate Il

National Capital Publishers won from
the Army Medical School yesterday by

tion from every standpoint. Judging by

their lives. Dineen. pitching for the
