The Hiccough Myth.

The old myth about frightening
away the hiccoughs, or taking nine
sips of water to be free of them, has
been dispelled.
SCIENTISTS have announced that
hiccoughs is a disease caused by a
little round germ which throws off a
poison that acts on the nervous sys-
TEN.
The trouble maker has been
tracked to its lair. Typographical and
made an orderly citizen, just as
scores of his brothers have before
him.
Gradually superstition is being
routed by science, which is proving
that there is reason for almost ey-
erything.
Sooner or later we may be con-
WINGED that it is not bad luck to walk
under ladder, or fer a black cat
to cross our path.
But that win be one occasion when
the lowly germ will not be made re-
sponsible.

The Congregational Jam.

The present session Of congress
started as if it might upset prece-
dent by transacting the business at
hand in an orderly, business-like
manner.
But unhappy day, it is human,
like its predecessors have been, and
the well-known congressional jam
is back on the job.
The Muscle Shoals bill and the
postal pay increase measure have
received most attenti1 IN, to the ex-
clusion Of other proposed legislation.
They are not the yoke on the con-
gressional neck, however. The big
gest battle of the session centers
around the Howell Barley bill TO
abolish the railroad labor board.
Unless either side retires from its
position, a mass of legislation of
national scope and sectional inter
est will die with the fall of Speaker
Gillett's gavel March A.
The railroad bill, due to its pc
culiar parliamentary status, can
come before the house only on the
first and third Mondays of each
month, the same days designated
for consideration of calendar bills.
The announced determination OF
opponents of the bill to use every
existing parliamentary maneuver &c
defeat its passage, makes it very
plain that remaining bills on the
calendar will not be reached this
session.
Thus another congress has gone
astray-one that gave promise OF
polishing up the congressional es-
cutcheon has sunk in the same old
mire.-Ex.

ARE YOU RUN DOWN.
Awaken to the Danger and Aid the
Weakened Kidneys.

Kidney sickness often runs you
down to the verge of collapse before
you know the cause When you
seem unable to pin your mind to any
task, your back aches and you can
not do an ordinary days work, it is
time to ask yourself this question :
Are my kidneys working right"
The answer may be easily found.
Weak kidneys slacken their filter
ing work and the uric acid circulates
with the blood, in many cases, at
tacking brain, nerves, muscles and
vital organs. Don't wait for the
serious trouble-begin using Doan's
Pills when you feel the first back
ache or first notice urinary dis
orders. Thiszremedy has given new
life and strength to thousands.
Proof of merit in Hurley citi-
zen's statement.
Mrs. Glenn Woodford, SO Iron St,
says: my kidneys gave=out and
was in misery, Tor backache was
sapping my strength. When / did
any work, shooting twinges went
through my Kidneys. My kidneys
didn't act right. Doan's Pills put
an end to backoche and strengthened
my kidneys. Doan's cured me of
the complaint"
Price 60c, at all dealers. Don't
simply ask for kidney remedy-get

Woodford had. Foster Milburn Co.,

Ere long, Babe Ruth win be his
true self. The full strength will
have returned to his giant frame
and the home-runs will be flying
into the bleachers and over the
fences, and surely they will be,
mark ye. But never so long as
Babe Ruth Is ballplayer will
there come to him a more glorious
moment than that which saw him,
prone on the ground, his last iota
Of energy spent, a gamester fight
ing with a spirit that outlasted
the flesh for the last inch that
might mean victory.
And never can Babe forget the
heart-throbbing ovation that swelled
to the sky as the beaten player
struggled weakly to his feet.
But even the Babe was not
through for the day. He robbed joe
Judge Of a triple and cut off two
runs with a sensational catch in
right center that ended In a somer-
sault. Perhaps nobody In the park
besides Babe Ruth believed he'd
ever get near the ball.
It 10 worth mentioning, too, that
he hit q foul off Walter Johnson
that was about two feet from being
a home run. Yes. the Bambino is
coming back.
AS FOR the game itself it was a
thriller. GosIin tripIed in the
fourth and scored on Joe Harris
sacrifice fly for Washington's first
run. The Yankees tied the score
In their half when Combs singled
and Meusel tripled him over.
With two down IN the seventh,
Rice made his fourth consecutive
hit Of the game, . single. and
scored on Buck Harris twO-baSe
swat to right. Judge walked and
then GOslin hit his second three
bagger Of the day, scoring BuclKy
and Joe.
Rice tripled in the ninth and
counted on Bucky Harris long
sacrifice fly. It was Rice's big
gest day at bat this year. His
five swats were for a total of
eight bases.
The Yankees filled the bags with

NEW YORK, June PRO
nounced by several expert judges
the most promising bush league
shortstop extant, Buddy Meyers
has been purchased by the Wash

the Southern Association, Clark
Griffith announced today. He is
for fall delivery. Cash and players
are involved in the deal, but how
much cash and what players the
Old Fox is to fork over he would
not say.
Griffith purchased Meyers on the
Recommendation Of Joe Engel,
Washinkton scout, and Joe Sewell,
Of the Cleveland club. Sewell de-
clared Meyers to be one of the
greatest ball players he had ever
seen.
Meyers, who is only twenty years
old. recently established a South
ern Association fielding record by
handling nine putouts and nine as
aists in one game. In the same con.
test he took part in six double
plays.
Some idea Of his ability b CLEAN
ed from a perusal Of the New
Orleans box scores Of the last
week. In seven games Meyers
batted for an average Of .362 and
handled fifty fielding chances with
only one bobble.
