The Remedy.

Discussing the influenza epidemic
and the many so-called influenza cures,
DR.. Horace Whitney Williams said In
a lecture at the University of Chicago:
Isolation, warmth and perfect care
are the only treatment. The so-called
cures remind me Of story about a
grocer. To this grocer a patron
brought back a pound of butter.
at want to complain about this but
ter. It's awful, the patron said.
"The grocer shifted it. Smells
sweet enough TO me- he observed.
"'But, it's full of hair said the
patron. I counted eight or nine hairs
in 1t. Yes, sir, this buffers full Of
hair, and want to know what you're
going to do about It,
"'Why, make 1t right, Of course
said the grocer genially, and he
reached up and took a tiny packet
from a shelf. Here. Here's packet
of hafrpins. You can pin it back with
'em as you go along"

ARMOR FOILS BANK ROBBERS
Patented Cage for Cashiers, Operated
by Officials Foot, Is a Late
Invention.

The up-to-date bank robber will have
TO steal a march on the military geni-
uses of the age II he has any hope OF
accomplishing his designs. For Wal
ter Watson Arnold OF Dawson, N. NJ,
has invented and patented an armor-
plate cage for bank tellers, according
TO Popular Science Monthly.
"Hands up" says the gentlemanly
r0bber, and is obeyed with the ex-
pected alacrity. But the bank Off
Gals foot surreptitiously releases a
spring that causes sliding doors Of ar
mor-plate to move into place and en-.

Adjustable plates fixed over the
openings in a teller's cage are con-
nected by system Of cables and pul.
leys with some stationary member at
tached beneath the desk. When not
IN use, trigger engages sectional
weights applied to the pulleys. The
trigger is connected with the arm OF
a bell crank lever, the other arm Of
which is connected with rod or Gu

TEMPERANCE
lwNOfeS"
Conducted by the National woman's
Christian Temperance Unlon.)
SUBSTITUTE MILK FOR BOOZE

Milk contains all the elements need
ed to build up and sustain the body.
That is why workers feel satisfied af-
ter drinking 1t. The shipbullders Of
Seattle are using 10000 pint bottles
Of milk every lunch hour, and the only
reason they do not use 10000 is that
there is limit to the supply. And as
for Ice cream cones, great piles Of
them go like hot cakes every noon.
The heaviest consumers Of milk and
Ice cream In Seattle shlpyards are
said to be the steel construction men
-riveters. plate hangers and the forge
men. This work exacts heavy toll on
physical strength and these workers
find milk an element that puts pep"
and vigor into them.
"The change from beer to milk has
been mighty good thing for every
body concerned" said w. II. Bailey,
who has worked In the shlpyard pat
tern shops off and on nearly thirty
years. "In the old days a foreman
could never tell how many men he
would have on the Job the next day
after pay day. It was the rule for the
men to break for the nearest saloon
as soon as they received their checks
and most OF them anchored there un-
til they were turned out-broke. I've
known fellows In those days that
couldn't buy a pair Of socks because
they never had anything left after the
first visit to the saloon. When some
Of the men did come back to work
they were sodden and dull and in
capable Of doing good days work.
"Things are different now. These
men who are drinking milk instead Of
beer have clear skins, clear vision and
clear minds. They are able to do a
fair days work every day and can
make extra effort when it's necessary"

HOW SPORTS HELP SOLDIERS
Americans Trained to Do Their Work
In Quickest Manner Possible
With Their Guns.

According to returned American
soldier, the Yankee sport training Is
helping them over there, In that United
States soldiers do their work, which
Is to kill as many Huns as possible, In
the quickest and most natural way.
An English Tommy will chase Hun
half n mile, he says, to get n chance
to stick him with bayonet, when one
shot from his rifle would do the trick
at once. French soldiers have ten
dency to walt until they can grenade
their foes, but the Yanks get bead
on the other fellows and drop 'em
quick with their rifles.

Rank OF Popular Sports.
How did the sports rank in popu-
larity among the soldiers? Volley ball
came first. Baseball was second. Box
Ing was on the limb. Track and field
sports were just out Of the money.
Basket ball was fifth. Indoor base
ball, soccer. rugby, tennis, etc., were
In the ruck.
Athletics surely are putting muscle
and pep" into the young men who
must handle the rifles, artillery, gren-
ades, spades and other implements of
warfare. Besides this, there is the
high morale generated by tlngllng high
spirits and good health which blesses
the well-exercised body.

Last Of Kin Of Great Novelist Dies.

William Dickens, the last kin Of
the great novelist, Charles Dickens,
died recently at his home In Hamilton,
Ont. Mr.. Dickens was born In Braun
stone, England, where his father,
George Adams Dickens, kept the Ad-
miral Nelson, an old public house.
william Dickens came to this country
about ten years ago, accompanied by
his wife, Emily Steanes, and his young
est daughter. Mr.. Dickens was seven
ty-fve years Of age, and possessed a
most interesting character, resembling
In some ways his great cousin. When
Charles Dickens was passing through
the little town Of Braunstone he
stopped at his cousins inn, and, no.
tlcing the little bright-eyed boy, patted
him on the back and quantity told him
to grow up to be better man than his
father. Mr.. Dickens treasured that In
cident among the fondest memories Of
his lie.

BIBLE CLASS DISCONTINUED BE-
CAUSE OE PROHIBITION.

In a four-mile trip through the South
and the far West, Miss Anna A. Cor
don, president Of the National w. O.
T. u, found the people In dry terri
tory well satisfied with prohibition, and
in the large cities like Portland, Ore,
and Seattle, Wash, no Industrial dis
turbance had followed Its adoption.
"The only criticism, I heard" she
said, "was in Portland. where they said
It had put out Of business the largest
Bible class in the country. OF course
/ was shocked to hear that, but when
the president Of the local Woman's
Christian Temperance union told me
that she had been for number of
years teaching that Bible class every
Sunday morning In the county jail, and
that prohibition had taken her class
away for her, I went on my way re-
joicing."

Find Glass Substitute.

Announcement Is made by the war
department that, following expert

glasses, the medical research board of
the division Of military aeronautlcs an
nounces that 1t has been able to effect
the casting Of certain substances In
thin sheets which, while not glass, can
be used as such, and may afford
practical substitute for It In goggles.
This substance has been on the market
for some time, but the company which
makes 1t has not. up to the present,
been able to cast It In the right
strength and thickness suitable for
goggles.
Under the direction Of the medical
research board, thin sheets of the ma
terial have been produced, which not
only are of the proper texture and
thickness, but can be ground and pol
ished. The substance Is hard and nom
infammable and insures practically a

LARGE SCORES MADE
IN EARLY BASEBALL
Annals of Game Are Full Of No.
table Achievements.
Greatest Number Of Tallles In Ono In
ming Were Made by Chicago In
Game Against Detrolt-Dele-
hanty Was Slugger.

In the early days of baseball no club
was considered to have safe lead
over the opposing team with anything
less than n margin Of 20 runs to the
good.
with the beginning Of professional
baseball In the early seventies, and
the launching Of the National league,
these conditions changed, and big
scores became the exception and not
the rule. Thirty-six years ago was
played, at Chicago, the league game In
which the record number Of runs was
made. Chicago and Cleveland were
the opposing teams on that historic
July "a, in 1882, and the former tri-
umphed by n score Of 35 to 4.
Many other league-swattlng records
have stood almost as long. The great
est number Of home runs in major
league game was scored I'm contest
between Detroit and st. Louis I'm 1886,
when seven circuit hits were made.
This record has been several times ex-
ceeded In minor circuits, and at Corsi-
cana, Tex, in 1902 no less than 10
home runs were smashed out. The
worlds record for the greatest num-
Der Of runs In one inning of n league
gnme has stood since 1888, when Chi
cago scored IS runs-two for each man
in the "lucky seventh of game
against Detroit, Burns and Weidman
being the twirlers whose delivery Jared
so badly. AS late as 1908, at Cleve-
land, ten runs were scored In one In
ming, nine hits were made, and each
batter who made hit got run.
The individual batting records for a
single game are headed by the won
derful performance of Beaumont of
the Pirates, who In 1899 got six hits
in as many times at the bat. Even
more sensational was the feat Of Dele
hunty Of Philadelphia, in 1896, when
In game against Chicago he went to
bat five times and got four home runs

ABSTINENCE AND EFFICIENCY.

AS regards straight shooting 1t is
everyone's experience that abstinence
IL necessary for efficiency. BY care
full and prolonged tests, the shooting
efficiency Of the men was proved to
be 80 per cent worse after the rum
ration than before. What Is true Of
the soldier is true Of the man who
makes the supplies for the soldiers
and sailors. Neither civilian nor SOL
der can be at his best for work In
the trenches or in the factory when
he uses intoxicating liquor. 1t takes
three or four men at home to support
one soldier in the trenches. If the
civilians at home destroy their effi-
cheney through drink they destroy the
support of the army just as effective
ly as If the evil result came in direct
contact with the army itself.-Admiral
