and outfeld, but most of his work was behind the bat. The next year he played third and outfield, going with McGraw to New York during the middle of the season. It was not until 1905 that McGraw decided that Rogers speciality was as a back stop, and he speedily demonstrated the correctness of the theory. In 1907 Roger came mighty near end ing his career, owing to a wild pitch by Andy Coakley, of the Reds: For days Roger was unconscious in a Gin cinnati hospital, and the doctors held out scant hope for his recovery. His strong constitution pulled him through. Roger suffered no i'll ef- fleets from that experience, and the following year saw him in his prime. In 1909 Roger was offered a job as manager of the St. Louis team, pro- vided McGraw was willing. While he hated to part with his star, Mac did so for Rogers sake, trading him to the Cardinals for pitchers Arthur Fromme, Bugs Raymond and Fred Beebe and Red Murray, outfelder. There wasn't much left of the Car dinals after that transaction, but Roger gradually built up fairly good team. The Cards were going at pennant pace in 1911 when the Bridgeport wreck stopped them. Roger used to be a detective in To- ledo during the winter months and perhaps when his baseball days are over he will go back to Sherlock ing.

New VapOr Way of Treatment all
 Cold Troubles North Carolina Druggist In- vents a Valve That Is

NOTHING TO SWALLOW
 YOU JUST RUB IT ON

Colds are simply inflammaHons of the air passages and everybody knows that the only way to reach the air passages direct is by means of vapors that can be inhaled. The old-fash- cumbersome and costly, but a North Carolina druggist solved this problem by inventing salve that is vaporized by the body heat.
 This preparation, known as Vick's VapoRub, is now being introduced here. The local druggists know the danger of constant dosing" especi- ally to small children and are anxious that all their customers should try this new "outside" treatment. Ar engagements have accordingly been made with the manufacturers to sell the small size jars, price 25c, on 30 days trial-no charge to be made if the customer is not delighted with the results
 For deep chest colds, sore throat, bronchitis, tonsilitis, or incipient pneumonia VapoRub should be ap- piled over the throat and chest and covered with a warm flannel cloth. The vapors arising carry the medica- ton, with each breath. to the air pass ages and lungs. In addition VapoRub is absorbed through and stimulates the skin taking out that tightness and soreness in the chest
 For head colds, hay fever, catarrh or asthmatic troubles VapoRub can either be applied up the nostrils or a little melted in a spoon and the va DOTS inhaled. Group is usually reliev- ed within fifteen minutes and one ap- plication at bedtime prevents night attack.-Adv.

Florists are restricted in their use of fuel to not more than 50 per cent. of their former consumption, accord ing to an order given for Connecticut by Fuel Administrator Thomas w. Russell.

 3. That no florist, as defined above, shall at any of his greenhouses, con- sume, burn, or use fuel of any de- scription, including coal, coke, fuel 1 oil, and natural gas, or other petro- leum products, or use power derived from any such fuel for or in connec- ton with the growing of flowers, plants, or winter vegetables, al above defined, during the year begin ming April 1, 1918, and ending March 31, 1919, to an amount in excess of 50 per cent of the average annual amount of fuel consumed at such greenhouse for or in connection with the growing plants, flowers and win

1t was Christmas morning. Happy
Jack Squirrel didn't know it was
Christmas morning. Happy Jack
didn't know there was such thing a.
Christmas. II wouldn't have made any
difference to him if he had known.
Truth 10 tell. Happy Jack felt that
nothing in all the Great World could
make any difference to him. He was
too miserable and too hopeless.
You see he was 50 cold that his
teeth chartered and his claws ratified
together as he Shivered and shook
, despite his fine bed of leaves. And
he was SO hungry that he was sure
the sides of his stomach were rub
bing together because of its empti-
ness. 1t was this emptiness of his
stomach that made him so cold You
Without food Happy Jack couldn't be
warm. despite his thick fur coat and
blanket of leaves.
\ jolly Little Sunbeam peeped in
at the little round doorway above
Happy Jacks head and smiled down
at him. But Happy Jack didn't smile
back. No, sir, Happy Jack didn't smile
back. He just scowled. The sight of
that Jolly Little Sunbeam smiling
down at him was hateful to him. That
is how miserable Happy Jack felt.
From over in Farmer Browns door
yard came the jingle of merry sleigh
bells. but in the sound OF them there
vas no merr.ment for Happy Jack.
They made him even more miserable
than before.
Probably there was not in all the
wide world so miserable and unhappy
a squirrel as Happy Jack. Just before
Thanksgiving he had been discour-
aged and anxious because he had so
few nuts in his storehouse. but he ha de-
not at that time been cold and hun
CRY as he now was. You see. for three
days Jack Frost and rough Brother
North WIND had held Happy Jack
prisoner in his own house. Lying in
bed he had heard rough Brother North
Wind shrieking in the trees and had
Shivered more than ever. Late the
! afternoon before he had crept out to
! look for something to eat. He had
! found the tree in which was his store
| house blown over and buried deep
under snow by rough Brother North
! Wind. over the surface of the snow
Jack Frost had formed an icy crust
! through which Happy Jack could not
