Here and There

Kennth Williams, an outfielder who received a tryout with the Browns down South this spring, has left the team to go to his home in answer to the draft call.
 Baseball is undoubtedly today the most popular outdoor game in the world, and it's field of activity covers two continents. Uncle SamS soldiers, both over here and lover there" are proving that baseball follows the flag"
 Jimmy Archer is coaching the Pi- rates boxmen with great results and the veteran will be retained all season by Manager Bezdek.
 Maisel is playing third base so well | for the Browns that Jimmy Austin is continuing to occupy a conspicuous seat on the bench.
 Kansas City is not much older than the game of baseball, but it has al- ways been one of the liveliest baseball l towns on the map. The younger fans | probably have no recollection of Kan sas City as a big league town, but as a matter of fact it has had clubs in both of the present big leagues of i organized baseball.
 Thirty-two years ago today, April
 30, 1886, the Kay-See fans saw their first National League game, and it
 was a jim dandy, that took 13 innings
 tod ecide. The Cowboys, as the Kan
 sas City club was known, were de-
 feated by Chicago, to 5. Kansas City did not long remain the western
 outpost of big league baseball, for at
 the close of 1886 season the club re-
 signed it's membership and was replac-
 ed by Pittsburgh.
 Kansas City's next experience in
 the major leagues was with a club in Ban Johnson's American League. When Johnson changed the name of the Western League to the American League, and set out to make it a ma 7 jor circuit, Kansas City enjoyed f another year of big league ball. At l the close of the first American League season, Kansas City, aIong with Buff , falo, Indianapolis and Minneapolis
 was dropped from the circuit, and
 were replaced by Washington, Balti- more, Boston and Philadelphia Kansas City was also in the late la
 mented Federal League, and it is 6 f coincidence that that city had a club in the first important outlaw circuit
 the Union Association, which was or ganized in 1884 in defiance of the na- :, tional agreement. The Union Asso- s ciation only lasted one season and
 was, from a financial standpoint, the
 most disastrous in the history of the
 game.

BY DIR. Williaua Brady. M. ID.

Answer-Assuming you are a
woman of average stature, you evil
gently eat too much. Try the Kar-
ell regimen one or two days in each
week-take nothing but a glassful
of SKINNED milk, hot or cold. eV-
cry four hours all day, slipping it
slowly. On other days Just chew
your food twice as long as you
now do-which is an easy way to
eat less. Never use any beverage
or even water to wash down NOR
sells of food; take your tea, coffee,
water or milk as a drink, not as
chaser.
Vegetable Margarine.
+, Where can l get vegetable mar
garine recommended by you in the
Hindhede regimen? S. E. B.
Answer-Numerous brands of
oleomargarine on the market are
made from vegetable fats exclu-
sively.
Day Airing and Night Air.
My bedroom contains 5000 feet
of space, and has an open fireplace.
Is it necessary to leave a window
open all night If both windows have
been open all day? 1t seems to
me that one sleeping in a room OF
that size would get plenty of air
without leaving window omen. if
the room is ventilated well y the
daytime. The room is heated by
steam. R. 8. w. n.
Answer-It is of little conse-
quence whether the room is ventil-
ated in the daytime or not. If you
are not occupying the room in the
daytime. Sanitarians generally
hold that 1000 to 5000 cubic feet
of air per hour is the minimum
Lealthful requirement per person.

Food and More Food.

In his Thanksgiving message to the working men
and women Of America William B. Wilson, secre-
tary OF labor said:
Now above everything else, must de-
vote attention to the production and prep
araton of foodstuffs for a world threatened by
famine looks to America for salvation.
Let these words sink home The need for war
uzanitioBg may he passed and diversion OF ships
back to normal uses may help feIeve the food stu
alton somewhat, but the fact that the
den Of the task of feeding practically all of Europe
and part of Asia stH will rest for the most part
upon America
The end Of the has if anything increased
our responsibilities, for it has thrown open the road
by which starving peoples formerly off from US
can be reached Every pound Of food we can pro-
duce above oar own needs and every pound we can
save will 90 to save lives and relieve misery.
The drive for greater yields from cur farms must
not lag now We have the winter before US to lay
plans 20 make every acre contribute its quota

A neurotic heredity which predis-

decent circumstances, there is a

in us will be repressed and the

Epilepsy.

Epilepsy.
The medical chief of an institu-
ton in which juvenile criminals
and first offenders serve indeter-
inmate sentences made a thorough
study of 400 of these youths and
found that IL per cent Of them ga
individually had epilepsy in one
form or another. He studied these
A individuals not only in a physi-
cal way but from the psychological
point of view. He traced their
lives back TO their schOOldays and
obtained reliable information from
teachers, parents and friends. His
conclusion was that epilepsy is an
abnormal reaction of the nervous
system to ordinary circumstances,
and that there is generally faulty
heredity and hence a nervous sys-
TEN especially vulnerable and in
capable of enduring the brunt Of
everyday life.
In fact the doctor painted a won
derfully intimate picture of cpl
iepsy, and reduced the classified
ton of the disease to six types, in
place of the so types another emf
nent authority on the subject had
differentiated
Then another expert arose to re
mark that he had encountered
