WHAT'S YOUR HOODOo?

Golfers are q superstitious crowd
and hoodoos abound among them. 1
have had a great many myself. and
1t is surprising how often one hears
the word in the conversation of the
golfing fraternity. One of the most
frequent delusions is that a perfectly
innocent little caddie has hoodooed
your game. when. as a matter of fact.
the little fellow at ones side is usu-
ally the most loyal supporter in the
world. No one pulls harder than he
for player, and golfers should
hasten to get the "caddie hoodoo" out
of their minds at once.
Sometimes a mans hoodoo seems to
be particular club. an individual. a
hole or some consecutive happenings
For years the word "putter' has
seemed to be a hoodoo for me. and 1
really think that if the naHTe could be
changed my trouble woh1d vanish.
Once when 1 was playing very badly
in tournament in Toronto / had the
absurd feeling that my sister, who
was In the gallery. was hoodooing me,
and think that / showed it Disagree
ably. the fact being that I was tired
and in consequence was unable to
control my muscles. Albert Seckel

after meals and during the meal, pro-
yided there is no food in the mouth.
The habit Of washing food down with
liquids is a most pernicious one. caus-
ing indigestion and imperfect assimi-
lation of food. A glass Of water taken
before breakfast acts as laxative.
In general. a child needs at least two
quarts of liquids day. The ten
dency is not to drink enough. Water
may be cooled, but never iced. Milk
is a food, to be taken slowly. and
should never be used to quench thirst
Another factor to be considered is
that. while heavily iced water is usu-
ally served with meals. it is not
nearly so convenient to secure iced
water at other times. For this reason
if one drinks freely between meals
that water is far less likely to be
iced, and this is an advantage. If
one drinks six or seven glasses of
ordinarily cooled water a day, and
most of that between meals, there will
be little of that desire to wash down
every mouthful at meals.

ENGLAND HAS NEW
| MEN FOR QYMP|CS
Great Body of Athletes De-
yeloped as Result of Mill
tary Training.

NEW YORK, January 19.-Reports
from England indicate that the Eng
lish athletic authorities are actively
engaged in preparing for active par
ticipation in the Olympic games TO be
held at Antwerp, Belgium, next sum-
mer. Despite the fact that Great
Britain lost hundreds of her best ath-
letes during the war,the United King
dom, in making selections Tor the
games next year. will have more ma
terial to draw from than eyer before,
according to experts. This somewhat
ANOMALOUS situation is due to the
creation of a great new body of ath-
leps as the result of military tram
ing and outdoor life at the front.
Very few of the Olympic team of
1912 viii be availa Bile for the coming
games. Some of these men are dead
and others are too old 70 compete.
1t is also true that the majority of
the new athletes are green men.
They are good material, but tney neeu

English sportsmen believe that, they
will he well represented on the clnder
track, although admittedly weak In
field events. 1t is understood that
Australia and New Zealand. which
have strong teams. Will unite TO enter
the games as separate from the moth
er country.
England is not and never has been
particularly enthusiastic over the
Olympic games, although she pro
poses to go in to win if possible. The
Englishman makes sports hobby. to
which he turns his attention after
his regular days WORK is done.
He objects strenously to the spe-
cializatien and long training neces-
sary for Olympic athletes, claiming
that this virtually amounts to pro-
fessionalism, even though the COM
petitor receives no money. The man
u attention

a professional it is maintained.

Great expectations are placed in A.

English championship for the half

half in 1.55 and the mile in AIS As.
He also won the four-mile champion
ship Of England in 1910. Hill is about
thirty-four or thirty-five years of age,

Officer of Clerks Union Calls on

Undertake INQUIRY.

Secretary John T. Doyle of the Civil

Thomas F. Flaherty, secretary treas
urer of the National Federation of
Post Office Clerks, to investigate al
legged political activities in st. Louis
OF Postmaster Colin M. Selph and
Ruskin McArdle, chief clerk of the
Post Office Department.
Mr.. Flaherty has submitted to Mr.
Doyle a copy Of an affidavit signed by
Philip S. Siegel, printer employed
m the st. Louis post Office, who
charges MIR. \Selph and Mr.. McArdle
with having authorized him to set up
and print a large number of political
posters in the congressional campaign
Of 1918. According to the Siegel af-
f1davit he was compelled to assist in
the composition of this political mat
ter, which was an appeal to the voters
to back up President Wilson" with
a democratic Congress. Siegel further
deposes that the printing plates were
afterward given to. Mr. McArdle.
If. the Civil Service Commission
wants to be consistent" said Mr..
Flaherty. sit will not confine it's in
vestiEations solely to the alleged po-
1itical activities of the subordinate
employees. We have positive evidence
in this instance that Mr.. McArdle and
Mr.. Selph. both under civil service,
utilized the facilities Of the govern
mont, temporarily under their super
vision, in the interests Of a partisan
political campaign. All we ask is that
Mr.. Doyle's investigation be broad
enough to cover officials, as well as
subordinates."
