king BASE BALL YIELDS
TOvOLLEYBALL IN CAMP
Popularity OF voIIey Ball Among SOL

What are the favorite games with
the soldiers In training camps in the
southeastern division? The immediate
response would naturally be baseball.
However, this Is not correct, according
to the latest statistical report com.
piled by r. C. Cubbon, Army Y. M. C.
A. physical director for the southeast
ern division, aided by the the 1875 phys
ical directors in the camps. Their fig
ures of the number of games played
and the number Of men participating
show that volley ball is the most pop
ular of all sports.
There was a time when baseball was
the most popular sport in the camps,
three times as popular as any other
game, but in the following month the
newly introduced game of volley ball
was taken by the soldiers with the
greatest of enthusiasm and the report
Of the physical directors in the camps
of the southeastern department show
that, commencing with the month OF
April, volley ball has easily held first
place as the most popular sport with
the soldiers.
This is very easily understood wher
it is explained that volley ball can be
played in very small space about
the size of a tennis court The sol
diers with little practice can become
quite expert in the game. Another fea
ture is that all Of the players on both
sides are playing the entire time, INC

last nearly so long as baseball, in fact
not much longer than the average

needed for this game is one ball and
one net.
Playground baseball is another game
that is making great hit with the
soldiers and now ranks fourth in pop.

ed in a small space, the distances be
tween bases being only thirty feet
In this game large, soft ball is USED
and the pitcher is required to use the
underhand throw. All the skill Of the
parent game of baseball is required
for playground ball and the playing
has all the thrills and tense moments
that is to be had in the national past
time.
AS an entertainer boxing is very
much in the limplight in the camps
and like baseball has an immense fol
lowing of devotees. Providing games
of entertainment is of no small import

lrda and THOUGHT.

"TLe s.'ft of words" is sometime
spoken of disparagingly by practical"
men. But words are merely the sym
bols of ideas, and nobody really has
the gift of words who has not also the
gift OF thought Before one can talk
with power he first must be able to
think. There never was a great speak
err who was not also real thinker.

Poor Quality High At Any Cost.

The talking machine industry is
one of the largest in America, and
probably no product has so wide
distribution. Easily the leader, the
Victrola reigns supreme in all lands.
Prices are fixed on instruments and
records, and 1t is rare thing that a
customer even suggests a reduction,
so we'll known is this fact. We have
never sold an item of Victor goods
at cut price, and nobody has
ever had an offer of this kind from
US. Prices on other machines vary

Diphtheritic Paralysis.

One >of the characteristic sym.
ptoms, or ratht sequels of diphthe-
ria Is a more or less exte nsive para
lysis 1t. usna a.! GENES en- after
the casting OFF of the membrane in
the throat ,-sometime not until
several weeks after, but it may aP-
pear during the attack, the gravity
of which 1t greatly increases. 1t IS
probably the result Of neuritis, or
inflammation of certain nerves,
brought on by the action of the diph-
liberia toxin.
Diphtheritic paralysis usually
nfanifes.s itself in the throat muscles
which loose their tone and fail TO
act during the process of swallowing
so III at the fluids run forward through
the nose lustead of downward into
the gullet. At the same time the
speech becomes nasal. Frequently
the paralysis affects the eye muscles
the patient loses the power OF foucs-
ing with the result that the objects
at which he looks appear blurred.
Ordinarily, the muscles of the throat
and eyes are the only ones affected
bat in the more severe cases the pa
laiys extends to the muscles of res
piration and to those of the extremi-
ties. In rare cases the sufferer is
so completely paralysed as to be en-
tlrely helpless.
The most serious cases are those
in which the paralysis attacks the
chest muscles, which are concerned
In the respiratory movements, or in
which the great nerve-the vagus-
that carries impulses and gives tone
to the heart and the stomach be-
comes involved. Very often there
Is more or less pain in the affecte d
parts because Of the accompanying
neurltis; sometimes there is loss oi
sensation IN the hands and the feet.
When the chest muscles are paralyz
ed the breathing becomes difficult;
it is then carried on chiefly by the
dlaphram, and is made somewhat
ealser if the patient grasps the head
of the bed with his hands. When
the paralysis involves the heart and
stomach nerve the patient suffers
greatly from vomiting Of food, and
the heart symptoms-weakness and

ced. That is the most dangerous oi
all forms of diphtherit1c paralysis,
for the heart is seriously weakened,
aud the least exertion of the patient
even turning III bed, may cause it to
STOP. -.l.,.- -..szs-.5-.-z-.As- ,...---es--.-
In most cases, especially wher
the disease attacks the palate mus.
cles or those of the eyes alone, per
feet recovery takes place in &
month or two; but when the paralys;:
has extended to the extremlties it
persists much longer and may never
entirley disappear. The treatment
shouldbe of a tonic character with q
nutritious diet that contains an
abundance of fat, especially butter
and cream. When the muscles Of
the body and the limbs are affected,
massage is useful, and in most cases
after the acute symptoms have sub.
fslded, electricity properly appliedis
of great service.
