Answer-You are probably aware that
every stock on your list is speculative,
most of them to a marked degree. The
prices paid for them indicate that they
were purchased at a time when specu-
lation was more or less keen, certainly
far more active than at present. The
Tribune does not attempt TO give specu-
latve advice. There are too many ele-
ments entering into the matter for US
to attempt to forecast prices in the
stock market However. as long as the
market continues in existence the pen
dulum may be expected to swing both

The air is surcharged with pessimism at

may clear, but we do not make any pre-
diction to that effect. AS for suggest
ing a switch we might mention other
stocks, but we would have no more
reason TO believe they would advance
than the stocks you now hold.

LiDe SPORTS NeUs and Comment
To Stop Gambling
on Based all Games
BY Associated Press.

by SssOCidtcu Eicss'
Chicago, April l6.--Gambling on
baseball games will be curtailed this
season. according to officials OF the
Chicago National league baseball
club. who have started a movement
against the practice. 1t is claimed
that numerous bets are made on the
strength OF who the opposing pitch
ers are to De. This year, Manager
Fred Mitchell declared he viii not
announce his pitcher until the time
his batting order Is handed 10 the
umpire. just before the game.
Manager Mitchell. whose home Is
in Boston. declared he knows OF
numerous instances in which the
wagers were placed after the pitchers
had been selected. He said he also
knowas of a certain hotel waiter who
was paid s. a day by "a gambler for
obtaining from the visiting manager
the name of the pitcher who was to
perform for the visiting club that
day.
Most of the betting is done in the
pool rooms downtown, said MIR
Mitchell. and believe If the pro-
prietors of these places do not know
who is going to pitch they will not
be so keen TO accept wagers. by
withholding the name of the pitcher,
| believe much of the gambling Will
stop.
If we desire to keep the sport
pure, gambling must be graduated.
The Chicago club is to do ali 1t
possibly can to stop it. President
William Week always has taken
steps to keep it out of the ball park
in Chicago, and l am going to at
tempt TO keep the men in the pool
rooms from betting by giving out
the pitcher at the last moment.
Gambling is not to creep into the
game and ruin il for the future rams
and players II he can help it,.
Mitchell continued. and If there is
the least suspician of II on my team
an investigation will be made and
the man or men who are apprehend-
ed will not stay a minute

"Talking about things that help

from my sister in Waterloo, Iowa
telling me she has gained sixteen
pounds in weight by taking Taniac.
said A. B. Steiner, AGO East Page

"My sister was on a visit TO me a
short while ago, and as she was suf-
fering from stomach trouble some
one advised her to try Tanlac, which
she did. and as I saw the great bene-
fit she was getting from ii l decided
to try 1t myself, for l had been trou-
bled with my stomach for the past
two years. 1 had very poor appe-
tite, and the little I did manage to
eat see-ned to lodge right in the pit

bloat terribly after eating and have
the worst sort of cramping pains in
my stomach, and az times I had such
bad attacks of heartburn I would
nearly go wild My back gave me a

hardly bend over. To add to my
other troubles, about two months
ago began to suffer with rheuma-
tism in my shoulder blades and arms,
which got so bad I could hardly do
my work and could not even put on
my coat without assistance. l was
SO nervous could get but little sleep
and would roll and toss from one
side Of the bed TO the other all night
long, and would get up in the morn

down and bad lost so much weight
I was so weak 1 could hardly get
about at all.
"Weli, while I have only taken five
bottles Of Tanlac in all my improve
ment is simply remarkable. I have
such good appetite 1 am hungry all
the time, and my stomach is in such
"a splendid condition 1 can eat any

least bit from 1t afterward. The pains
have all gone out of my back and !

rheumatism. In fact, l never have
an ache or pain Of any kind. I sleep
as sound as a log every night and

Chess Prodigy Makes
Showing in Berlin

A youthful chess prodigy recently
made his debut in Berlin. A boy by
the name of r. Rzeschewski, eight
years Of age, dared to play in the
Berlin Chess Society twenty or more
games simultaneously against more
or less classy chess players. winning
eighteen games, losing one and
drawing the rest. Furthermore, tho
little fellow undertook to play blind
folded against the famous master
player, Kurt Won Bardeleben, an ex-
pert of over 40 years standing and
many times prize winner in
national and international tourna-
ments. Marvellous to relate, the boy
had the satisfaction of drawing this
game after twenty moves.
II was startling to see the little
boy, whose head barely reached the
level of the tables. step from board
TO board and watch him make re-
joinders to the moves of his older
adversaries. The fact that the per-
Torrance lasted five consecutive
hours, without his play suffering any
astonishing. Fortunately. the COM
bined physical and mental strain was
in no way harmful, for upon reach
ing his hotel he retired at once and
slept soundIy all night. When visit
ors called the following morning, he
was just a cheerful, happy child.
busy with his toys. paying scarcely
any attention 10 the CONCENTRATIONS
offered him.
Upon being asked how he came to
lose q particular game. he promptly
got out his chess set, placed them
in the right position and said: You
see. here l should have played this
way and l would have drawn or won
the game. But made a ,blunder and
lost instead" At the request of the
visitors, he showed about ten or
twelve positions from some of the
games and demonstrated where his
adversaries in each had gone wrong.
Not having the scores Of the games
with him. he did all this from mem
DRY. He even offered to play over
for his callers every one of the
twenty two games from memory. but
he was preytiled upon TO desist
The consensus of opinion of all
those who have seen the boy at play
is that he is destined to become one
of the greatest masters Of chess,
privided he develops the necessary
stamina to enable him to bear the
exceptional strain put on his facui-
ties. ....
