SEVEN RULES FOR GOLFERS
Harry Vardon Gives Cardinal Points
to Devotees of Links-Keep
the Head Steady.

Seven cardinal rules for golfers, as
set down by the famous Harry Var
don, are as follows:
1. Keep the head steady and do
not let the left heel turn outward
then the body can only wind up when
the arms go back.
2. Grip firmest with the thumbs
and fOrefingers-they are not so well
adapted as the other fingers to the
purpose of taking strong hold, and
they are the most important of all for
the purpose Of the golf grip.
8. Let the club-head lead, the left
wrist turning inward, the arms follow
ing the club-head, and the right hip
screwing next.
4. Don't throw the arms forward
as you start to come down as though
you were moving grass. Rather
throw them back, and let them come
round in their own way from that
point.
5. Let the movement of the right
shoulder be steady and rhythmic; 1t
should have nothing in the nature of a
sudden drop or jerk. v
6. Don't be afraid to hit hard; if
you are swinging correctly, hard hit
ting is not pressing"
z. Keep your head still until the
club has struck the ball.

BOOSTERS AS ALARM CLOCKS
en- Them at the Right Time In
the Morning.

"DO you know that rOOsters are put
ting crimp in the sales of alarm
clOcks?" said the owner of watch
store to a customer. strange as it
may sound it is true.
''In certain districts there are men
who rely upon ROSTERS to awaken them
at a specified time in the morning.
The ROSTERS have not been trained but
they begin Growing at about the same
early hour every day.
81 have to admit that rooster is
better than an alarm clock i'm some
ways. The noise of the clock can be
stopped if man rebels at getting up,
but the rooster keeps on growing. Ere
quently people neglect to wind up the
clock. And sometimes we set the clock
wrong and consequently get up too
early or late.
'In Wyoming Valley, Pa, the Go
steam sirens which heretofore awak
ened the workers in the mines and
factories have been silenced by the
fuel administrator in order to save
coal. Instead the miners and indus
trial workers are now depending on
the cocks shrill crow to awaken
them"

SPORT ACTIVITIES
AFTER END OF WAR
Baseball, Football and Boxing.
Will Have Larger Following.
instruction Given in Various Camps,
Sure to Develop Many Devotees of
Sport, Who Have Never Be-
fore Been Interested.

Baseball, boxing and football are go
Ing to have larger followings after the
war than they have today.
That this will be true in baseball
particularly is the prediction of many
men high up in the game, and it has
been pointed out by followers of box
Ing that the instruction being given
the soldiers in all Of Uncle Samuefs
training camps will develop thousands
OF deyOtees of the manly art who have
never before been interested.
Football which has been growing
by leaps and bounds within the past
nve years, may not gain many active
participants through the formation OF
training camp elevens, but it will GER
tainly gain in popularity.
At Close of Civil War.
The pathway to success for present
day baseball in the United States was
opened wide with the close of the Civil
war. Hundreds of soldiers returned
from the battlefields on which the blue
and gray armies fought their many
great conflicts hardened through the
rigors of service in the open and de-
handing some form of sport compe-
titiOn, or, at least, recreation, upon
which to center their interest and in
which those who brought youth back
with them could find active exercise.
From the ending of the Civil war to
the present day baseball has been gain
ing in popularity. 1t has suffered sew.
eral rude shocks owing to internal
strife, but as an attraction which gain
ed and held public interest it has de-
veloped wonderfully.
Ask Red-BIooded Recreation.
With thousands of Uncle Sans sol.
der boys equipped with baseball, box
ing and football paraphernalia while
in the service, thousands Of young
blOOds coming on who will demand red
blOOded recreations and pastimes on a
larger scale than ever before and the
country at large weary Of death-deal-
ing conflicts and grateful for the
chance to relax, sports should thrive
on a greater scale than ever.
Sports will be encouraged In every
way possible by the government, too.
President Wilson, Secretary of War
Baker and many of our lawmakers at
Washington, have openly expressed the
opinion that health-giving sports
should be encouraged and continued
throughout the length and breadth of
the land, even in war times.

Says Dodd's Kidney Pills,
Wonderful Remedy

Mrs. Della Olson, of New London. Wis.
ike many others, knows after experience
ing the use of Dodd's Kidney Pills that
they are unexcelled. Here is what Mrs.
Olson recently wrote us:
81 suffered with rheumatism for years.
There was gravel deposit in the urine
and I had frequent headaches. 1 had
dark circles around my eyes and was al
ways tired. I bought box of your Dodd's
Kidney Pills and am glad did, for Sc
cured quick relief and think they are a
wonderful remedy"
Mighty few people realize in time that
kidney trouble is making it's advances up
on their health. They put off treatment
they say, "Oh, I'll be all right in a day or
two" And the malady tightens it's grip.
Result: Bright's Disease, hospital treat
ment doctors bills-often death.
When you have backache. dizziness, pain
in loins, stiffness in STOPPING or lifting,
spots before the eyes, sediment in secre-
lions, rheumatic pains, or swollen joints
Immediately start toning the kidneys by
the regular use of the remedy endorsed by
hundreds of users-DODD'S Kidney Pills.

If a Friend Has Hurt You.

II know very well what it is to be dis
appointed in friend, writes Anne Nc
Call, in the Woman's Home Compan-
ion, but I know, too-because / have
made a practice of looking facts in the
face--that the bitter resentment and
tragic disappointment we feel in such
case are often centered in ourselves
our self-esteem has been wounded, or
we have been proved mistaken, or we
wanted this one friend to devote her
self exclusively to us. And it is for
some such unworthy thing as this that
we are willing to break our hearts
But not If we are in the habit OF look
ing honestly for reasons and causes.
Once we learn to do that, how the old
bitterness and weakness and failures
slip away. Once we know the real
cause of thing that is distressing or
unworthy, how much easier is the cor
rection of it!

ing vandals dug into the breast Of
the eagle; but the work must have
proved too laborious, for the diggers
gave up before they had reached the
bottom layer of overlapping stones.
Rough but fairly accurate measure
ments Of the bird show the length
of the eagle from the middle Of the
tail to the head to be 102 feet, and
from tip to tip Of outspread wings
120 feet. The length of the beak Is
10 feet, and the height of the body
at the center Of the breast is 10 feet.
The eagle lies with its head to the

quirement. The climate is equable;
access easy, ABUNDANT streams for

two days sailing of the continent.
"That the Azoreans would give our
troops and ships cordial welcome Is
unquestioned. Friendly relations be-
tween the United States and the
Azoreans date back to the War of 1912
when the Armstrong was beached on

Beautiful Sea and Sky Effects.
S. G. w. Benjamin says: mo part of
the Atlantic is more prolific in the
wonders of the sea than the Azores.
The inexhaustible diversity Of the
cloud scenery of those islands / have
never seen approached except at Ma
deira, combining the effects of sea and
land clouds.
"At sea the impression of distance is
conveyed as never on land, because
no hills nor mountains intervene to
interrupt the view of the most dis
tant cloud strata, and no clouds are
so full Of suggestive form, Of repre-
sensations of dreamland as those far
off, low-lying, vapory forms, cOuchant

hung by groves Of palms. Off Pico,
one evening, saw in the sky horse

GREAT EAGLE OF STONEWORK

Conflicting stories are told concern

STOCK LETTER By R. Allyn Lewis

The market being very narrow, the moves in the various specialties like Mexican Petroleum, etc, having run as far as they could with the public not in them. have petered out and therefore some excuse must be given
 for prices being down. The one to- day is McAdoo's statement. There is nothing in it that is new. We knew what expenditures have been authorized by the government, we knew that a large amount of money was needed to finance and stabilize the railroad situation. What he said is only reiterating this. Unfortun- ately, in Wall Street most people read only headlines and forget in the afternoon what they read in the morning. There is practically no liquidation. There is little short sell ing and little buying by spectators. They put Steel up to 92 F and a few people buy it because it looks strong, they sell it back to S9 and there is a little short interest made because it looks weak. The future of prices hangs on the war situation. If peace is near, as many well informed peo- pie believe, We will get substantial advance in prices. If the war is to

 There is no breadth and without breadth the spectators of the last three years cannot deal. The way if looks to us is that stocks should be bought on weak spots. If you feel like selling them when they are weak buy them. When they get extremely strong and the bull tips go out take your three or four points profit and wait.

On the other hand there has been good buying bv people who believe that it is not at all sure that the distribution will be lowered and say that even if if ;s the market has pretty well discounted such action.
