TOM CONNOLLY CHASED
MAC AS CHEER LEADER

Bill Friel tells a good story on
Jack McAllister, first lieutenant
to Iris Speaker of the Cleveland
Indians.
According to BiIl's story the
Indians were engaged with the
Browns in a warm series in st.
Louis. The players of both clubs
were keyed up to a high pitch
and there was much talking
from the bench, which in the
American league is taboo.
Finally Umpire Tom Connolly,
who is a strict disciplinarian,
fnotioned for Jack McAllister
to beat it. After the game Friel
approached Connolly and asked
the reason for Jacks dismissal.
81 didn't see him do anything"
explained Friel, land he's not a
player and he's not the mana
ger so l don't know what right
you had to chase him"
"Well," explained Connolly in
an irrlrant voice, ''he's the cheer
leader. for that bunch; that's
why l canned him."

was having an off day. He permitted
three passes, one-sixth of his total for
the entire year.
Adams control and his knowledge
Of opposing batters made him one Of
the most valuable pitchers in the Ma
tional league. He ranked next to Gro
yer Cleveland Alexander in efficiency,
allowing only PIP earned runs per
game.
Back in 1909 Adams, almost single
handed, won the worlds series for
Pittsburgh, beating the Tigers in three
games.
In 1920 Adams, besides his other
achievements, also was high man for
shutouts, with eight to his credit
Alexander was second with seven.

was made by Harry NJ. Allen, resid-

Company Of that city. Mr. Allen is

EFFECTIVE REMEDY
FOR DIPHTHERIA
Anti-Toxin Should Be Given During
First Day or Two of Attack.

Children with sore throat, particul-
lar1y If there are white patches or
hoarseness or croupy cough, should not
be neglected. Delay in calling a doctor
may cost the life of the little one, and
1t Is not to be forgotten that anti -toxin
is the only effective remedy for this
disease. II given during the first day
or two of the attack it will effect a
cure in practically 100 per cent of the
cases, but after that the chances of re-
covery diminish rapidly if the treat
ment is delayed.
There is a popular belief that anti
toxin Is harmful to the heart. This
belief Is doubtless due to the fact that
children who have had diphtheria are
often left with a weakened heart. This
is caused by the diphtheria and not by
the antitoxin, which protects the heart
from the effect of the poison produced
by the germs of the disease.
Because there are many cases in
which a child has mild attack of
diphtheria, and because the early use
OF anti-toxion. so often brings a prompt
cure. there has come a belief that the
disease is not dangerous. Fortunately
it does not prove dangerous to all who
have II, but experience proves that
neglected cases may prove fatal, and

that promptness is the best guarantee
of safety
It would seem that no word of eau
ton against carelessness in observa-
ton of quarantine should be necessary.
There are persons, however, who are
too ignorant, too selfish or too indif-
ferent to observe the warning of the
health officer, and of the quarantine
card. Such persons do not erdanger
their own lives alone, but those of
others. In exposing oneself to conta-
gious disease there is danger of be-
coming link in the chain, spreading
the infection to a large number of
others who might otherwise have
escaped.
Strict observance of the caution to
use no common drinking cup, and to
put nothing in the mouth that might
be unclean will go a long ways to-
ward preventing disease Of all sorts.

Portable home We mean something more than furniture and furnishings. We
mean that atmosphere of comfort and love that oes to make III an ideal

In the third place, the community has a right to demand that the child
has proper prenatal care that the mother be properly attended, and that the
whole question of the bringing into the world of the baby be carefully cn-

HOW TO EMPLOY THE IDLE.

Nobody d eplores unemployment
more than The Pleasantville Press;
nobody would rejoice more if it could
be said that there was not a single
idle man in this country.
But in the midst of all this discus
sion of opening factories at a loss;
while we hear all these schemes of
public employment to be paid out of
taxes, u public men and newspapers
seem to avoid the unpleasant facts.
Get down to fundamentals, all We peo-
pie, and the situation will slowly but
surely right itself?
There are only two dificulties-two
very serious handicaps to prosperity
in this country right nov Here
they are:-
Immoderate costs.
Immoderate taxes.
Industry cannot rise with the taxes
as they are. And yet they talk about
putting millions to work at public cost,
enormously increasing the already in
ordinate taxes.
Industry cannot arise to action with
skilled wages anywhere from Sc to SIS
for an e%ight-hour day. And yet, except
in a few cases, ~unionists and non
unionists refuse to bring down the
scale of wages.
Pare down your taxes, reduce your
costs of operating, and money will
come out and start wheels that will
mean employment to increasing num-
bers. Fail to do these things and idle
will continue to swarm.
