Remember the simple laws of health
which everyone learned in school.
Avoid stimulants. Avoid the sleepless
hours, upset digestion, warning head
aches, taut nerves and muddy COM
plexions which SO often accompany the
use of the drug caffein.
Caffein is classified as a poison.
Like strychnin, it is sometimes given
by doctors in cases Of heart failure |
The average cup Of coffee contains the
usual dose of caffein administered in |
such cases. The alarming foolishness of |
taking this poison regularly into the
system is borne out by the frightfui
limitation Of health and usefulness as
compared with tae length Of life.

Fans Watch ForCobb To
 Slacken Up
Will This Season Be His Last As Player, Is An
 other Question
NUMBER 295

DETROIT, Feb. 23.-Ty Cobb, man. ager of the Detroit Tigers, has been attracting the attention of baseball fans since his second year in the Amer ican league. That was back in 1908. He joined the Tigers the year before much the same as any recruit breaks into the big leagues, but it did not take the Georgia Peach long to demonstrate that he was quite different from the ordinary rocky.
 During the 1905 season, Cobb failed to hit in the 300 class. Since then he has not failed to hit in the select circle of batters. Next spring the Tiger leader will begin his twentieth season with the Detroit team, and he is attracting nearly as much attention as he did when he was earning his reputation as the greatest all-round player In the game. However. the attention he now is attracting is a little different. Base- Cobb batting 300, but now they are asking: "Is Cobb slowing up?" Wll Cobb bat 800 next season?" "Will next
 season be Cobb's last as an active To the first question the answer is Yes" without qualification. Baseball players in the major leagues are re- garded as old at 35. Few of them ever attain the age of 40 in the big show. Cobb is between those two figures; hence, there is no doubt that he has slowed up considerably from the years when 1t was regarded an ordinary feat for him to steal not only second, but | third base. There is no reason why Cobb should not bat 300 next season. He has done 1t for IS consecutive seasons, and by doing it last year established himself as the only player in the history of tho major leagues who has hit for 300 or better for IS years in a row. The late Captain A. c. Anson did it 20 years, but there was a break of two years, in each of which he fell below 300.
 Whether the next campaign will be Cobb's last as an active player is up to Cobb himself. Judging from. his physical condition, he should be able to play the outfield for at least three more years, barring accidents. He has threatened to retire as an active playefsf and whether he will carry out that threat at the close of next season time only ran tell

fer with Griff after the game; seek his advise, when I am In doubt"
 "But Griff Is a much different man from what he is painted in some cir- cles. He has told me that I am to run his ball club. He has said that he has faith in me and my ability. I know he means what he says"
 For more than three hours we talked with Buciy Harris. It would be im- possible to print on . full page half the interesting things about baseball that the boy manager told us. The thing that made his talk so interesting was that in three hours he did not say an unkind word about one man in his pro- fession. H.e-@ 's
 we start work next Monday and I wish 1t was this minute. can scarcely wait until get out there and begin my new job. Gee, it's great--simply great" That's what Stanley Harris said as we left him, his face lit up like Christmas tree with boyish enthus- iasm.
 Predictions are dangerous, but one can at least say that he will be q mighty poor guesser if Bucky Harris is one-year manager. He has the spirit and fight that spell success.

GLAND REMUNERATION IS TEMPORARY, SAYS SAVANT
"WilI Remain 50 Until Phssiologi- cal Aspect of Glands Is Vastly
 IucrcasCdf'--Irof. Burnett

Berkeley, Cal, April "5s--RejuYe- nation by means of gland operations is only temporary, in the opinion of Professor T. C. Burnett of the Uni Nersity of California department of physiology.
 'The apparent improvement follow ing the granting of glands will re- main temporary" the professor eX- plained. until our knowledge of the physiological aspects of glands and gland sccretions is vastly increased. From what is known of body glands, it is logical to assume that if we could resupply the secretions which are responsible for our vitality and youth, we might thrust old age to the Lack stage.
 Newspapers are too enthusiastic on the subject. They jump ahead of the eNpcrimenters and medical mon to get 3 spectacular story. This policy has it's effect on the public. Everyone leaps to startling and un- founded conclusions. and the result is lack of critical judgment which is essential in the consideration of such a complex subject"

LONELIEST OUTPOST
Wireless and Hydro-Metcorological Station Has Been Established a: karsk, on the Kara sea,

Leningrad, April c5.-What is said to be the most lonesome outpost in the world for human beings has been set up al Karsk. on the Kara sea, an arm of the Arctic. In the form of a wireless and hydro-meteorological station. The Kara sea is blocked by ice the greater part of the year. being passable for ships during only few weeks in summer.
 The Academy of Sciences in Lenin- grad announced recently that four smaller stations also had been estab- lished on the Kara sea by the Soviet government each of these being com- bined with hydro meteorological bu- reau. The wireless station at karsk keeps in touch with vessels in Polar waters and sends out weather fore casts regularly. There are but two men at the station and, because of the ice and weather conditions, it is pos sible to send them supplies osly once every year. The chief recreation Of the meteorologists and wireless op- orators is hunting and fishing.

On the other hand, if it keeps off until well on in June. il, will do us an infinite amount of good.

 The two mun were employed on a nearby ranch as cowpunchers. Aben- iroih, holding out his hat, challenged Cosgrove to shoot hole through it. Cosgroye, reputedly an expert shot, fired and missed.

FROM LATVIA ID
 ESTHON|A BY AIR
Regular Air Line Service Between
 New Countries

Washington. n C.. April 25.- Fly ing as a passenger is itself relatively new: winging ones way with suitcase and duffcl- bag from LatNia to Es- thonia is dolIbly a new experience, for these two countries have come into in dependent existence only since the world war. Yet there is q regular air line between Riga and TaIlinn, ac- cording to a bulletin from the Wash inGton D. c headquarters of tho Ma tional Geographic Society which pre- scnts notes from member Of it's staff who was q recent air voyager between the two cities.
 "A few bumps" says the writer. "then our left wing dips, Riga tilts up on edge with stceples bent over, and we are off. The stoeples seem to be retreating into the ground A lake flashes under us, and what we know tofbe huge rafts of wood upon it's Wa ters look like matches floating in a saucer
 Can See Beneath Sea
 "Riga becomes a gray huddle be- yond the green of trees and the tawny sand masses. Pine forests ap- pear and seem like the corn of our midwest seen through dark glasses.
 "Yellow sand blotches, blue gray apots of water, and green forest masses scud by below. Rivers wind across the countryside like great sill yer snakes; caught in their meander- ings are cultivated fields with large houses. red tiled, and small ones. in conspicuously matched.
 We glide out over the sea: along its shore every ripple of sand beneath the brown-green water is disclosed to our vertical gaze. Tiny toy-like boats steam along with Lilliputian wakes behind them. Again we are over the land, and now broken clouds stencil their patterns on green and gold of forest and sand. Now and then little towns glide beneath. all surrounded by erazy-quilt fields.
 Farms Carved From Swamp
 "Farther on are swamps. The whole coast line is evidently soggy, but there are fine fields inside. Stil farther inside are evergreen forests, and be- yond those more brown swamps. The plowed fields in this moist region are marked out with crossed drainage ditches like a tablet of chocolate.
 But all to be seen as one flies over Latyia does not smack of peaceful pursuits. Below in curve of the shore gun positions defended by trench lines are plainly visible. Now and then one catches sight of huge battlemented manor houses that might withstand a siege.
 "Parnu. quito town at the mouth of river. slips by below and we realize that we have crossed the Es- thonianafrontier. Here, too, are the chocolate squares drained by tinfoil ditches: the brown swamp regions: the lush green patches.
 Architecture Wasted on Airmen
 'Tallinn. our objective. shows up in thedistance. a smoky pancake beyond B Lake Superior Soon it's steeples are visible. But though airplanes are unequalled for broad general view Of a country. they plan tricks with architecture.8 One thing is certain, Christopher Wren and the steeple builders wrought not for the airman but for the pedestrian.
 We head slowly down; we coast; we tip up little and swing 10 the side. Waterv trenches and quarry seem to reach for us. But there is the open landing field, A slight bump, and we are safe in another land"
