TUBERCULAR PATIENTS
HAVE BASEBALLITIS.

Cincinnati, Sept. 6.-Baseballitis
has become epidemic at the tubercu-
losis sanitarium at Lick Run. In
stead of combating it the physi-
clans are encouraging it, for they
find that as the base ball fever rises
the condition of their patients i'm
proves, and they seem to gain new
lease on life.
Ever since the Reds made their
rush for the pennant it has been OBJ
served that patients developed an in
terest that took their minds from
their malady. The fans among
them stimulated their interest, so
that now the entire colony is in
lected.
To add to the stimulation the res
dent physician, DR.. Philip Gath, has
placed a score board on the porch
pf the administration building.

the lesson is the more vividly
brought home, for that reason. than
would be one gained from reading
those other glorious pages of our
wonderful history, the lives of
Washington and the patriots ranked
with him in the hearts of the people.
Unlike the great father of his
country, who was born to the pur-
pie, Pershing's early life was that of
the meagerness of the western pio-
neer, a log cabin home in a small
community. While poverty did not
haunt the door. still the family was
but moderately fixed with, the
worlds goods, and the boys upward
struggle was one faced by every
young American OF the day who
finds it necessary to gain his living
and education by his own efforts.
There is but one comparison to
be made with the life of Pershing,

the youth of America, in its inspira-

ton of proper ideals and ambitions,
and that is the story of the leader OF
those forces which fell before the
onset of the Americans mighty
army--General Won Ludendorff.
A parallel of the two affords a
striking example of all that is good
and pure, and all that is evil and
bad.
In the life history of the one, with
the story of his wars and victories, is
to be found the triumph OF the lowly
and pure, and in the other is to be
found the final defeat Of the exalted

General Pershing represents the
exaltation of the mighty spirit of

Mine Workers of America, of Dis
trict No. II, in a telephone conversa-
ton with Governor Cornwell Satur-
day night stated that 1900 miners
encamped at Danville would call off

would return to their homes on a

Charleston at noon in an automo-
bile in an effort to, deter the min
ers from proceeding further, after
a conference with Governor Corn

Following this information from
President Keeny, Governor Corn

federal troops be called out At the
conference the governor informed

ment; that He could get federal
troops to Logan before the arrival

provisions were transported in
wagons.

Madison he would act for the two
regiments of federal troops.
The original force was estimated
at 500 men but recruits were en-
listed all along the route AMI Presi-
