PITTSBURGH. Jan. The
Pittsburgh Pirates of 1926, with.
minor touching up. have full conf
dence that they again will capture
the National League pennant and
worlds series.
This years outfit will be virtually
intact unless Hal Rhyme, infielders
and Paul Waner, outficlder, expensive
products Of the San Francisco cluba
Of the Pacific Coast League, show,
ability TO break into the regular lines
up.
Rhyme starred as a shortstop on
the coast, but will be given a trial at
second base, where Eddie Moore held
forth for a great part of last season.
Waner. who has 400 batting mark.
is expected TO be strong rival Of
Clyde Barnhart for left field.
VETERAN PITCHERS.
Kremer and Aldridgc, who shared
the main pitching burden of the
wold's series battles, are relied upon
to be even better this year. while.
Meadows, Yde and Morrison will
round out the list Of veteran main.
stays. Oldham, who pitched the final
inning Of the last worlds series game
effectively. may get more work. Shee-.
han and CullotOn also will he avail,
able. along with the veteran Babe
Adams, for relief tasks. !,
The Painters are well fortified be-
hind the bat with Earl Smith, johnny,
Gooch and Spencer.
Wright at short and Traynor at
third are expected to display cyen
greater ability in 1926. The club has
two candidates for first base in George .
Grantham. a comparative youngster. Z:
and Stuffy McInnis, the veteran whose b
stcsdying influence was widely crcd'
tied with starting the Pirates towards
their worlds series victory.
GRANTHAM REGULAR.
Grantham probably will be groomed
to do most of the work because of his
speed and hitting power, with McInnis
available for left-handed pitching or
emergencies.
In the outfieid XXI Cuyler in right

Linen Container Treasure Chest
BY LYDIA LIE BARON WALKER.

deters homemakers from getting the
best), but that restocking will be de-
ferred and beauty will be lasting.
Wearing Qualities.
One of the secrets of the enduring
quality Of the best linen is that it is
manufactured from long flax fibers.
There are fewer ends to it. Another
is that the fibers are very tightly
twisted to meake the thread from
which the linen is woven. This is es-
sential to all durable goods, for the
twist of the threads adds enormously
TO its resistance to wear. Another
characteristic is the closeness of the
weave of the cloth. If YOU have never
examined linen closely, do it now, and
you will discover the closeness of the
weave in the finest linen. When close
weaving is combined with fine and
even threads the linen is of the high
est grade. But sometimes the threads
are not SO fine and yet the weave is
very close. This makes for durability.
but is not conducive to the satin fin
ish that comes with the other threads.
Rough Places.
When linen wears rough it may
mean one of two things-either the
weave is rather loose or the thread is
not spun evenly; that is. there are I'M
even places in it. Usually the latter
is the reason. These uneven place.
are caused generally by threads being
short, though it may mean that the
twist is not tight enough and "f1akes"
occur. These flakes rub and get fuzzy
and soon the places get thin.
Discretion.
1t is when a woman knows how to
select linens that she realizes when
she gets the best, and also that she
should not demand the same wearing
qualities of the lower grades, when
she does buy them. In no home is
the finest linen used for all purposes
or on all occasions. but a knowledge
of the subject is helpful in making
purchases suit needs.

Nervousness.

Nervous tension and mental irrita-
bility depend very much on physical
health.
I'm so nervous I could scream, !"
says Mrs. Jones. This condition may
be due, not at all to real trouble, but
to poisons stored in the body, with
their consequent arrangement of bod
lily functions.
I'm so sensitive. The least thing
upsets me dreadfully. 1 feel every
thing so keenly." complains Mrs.
Brown. This, of course, may be due
to mental instability. Instead of APP
proving of her symptoms and en-
couraging them, Mrs. Brown should
be doing everything possible to con-
quer them. A properly nourished
body will aid the recovery of proper
mental poiSe.
All the factors that go to make up
right living-fresh air, outdoor eXer-
else, sunshine. proper clothing, nour-
ishing food and mental hygiene-work
together in overcoming nervous
troubles.
In the great majority Of cases the
real cause of nervousness Is not a
weak or diseased nervous system.
Nervousness may be caused by wrong
with poisons. Constipation harbors
the waste products. The toxins are
reabsorbed by the blood and the cen
trail nervous system Is disturbed.
For a while hordes of people were
psychoanalyzing themselves or having
a professional do 1t, in order to find
out what allied them. OF course, men
tai outlook affects bodily wellbeing
materially. Temperament does affect
digestion. We all know from actual
experience that If we are nervous and
worried, whether the cause be real or
fancied, great or small, our appetite
suffers. When one Is in an upset
state 1t is not well to burden the d.
gestive apparatus with heavy food.
Instead of trying to force the stomach
to take care of .heavy dinner of
meat and potatoes, an easily digested
plate of hot cream soup and graham
crackers will prove nourishing and
not burdensome.
The mind and the body are interde-
pendent. 1t is not well to degenerate
into a nervous wreck. Sane mental
outlook, induced by interest in occu-
patton, and happy disposition,
coupled with normal health, ward off
nervous instability. McCollum shows
that young rats suffering from under
nourishment are extremely nervous.

THE DAILY
HOROSCOPE
Thursday. December 80.

Mercury and Uranus are in Denenc
aspect tomorrow. according to as
trology. Mars. Saturn and Neptune
are adverse.
1t is an suspicious rule for the
lighter interests of life, for sending
out invitations and for various forms
of hospitality. Acquaintance begun
tomorrow should bring romance or at
least long friendship.
This is read as a rarely favorable
sway for all forms of advertising and
publicity.
Competition for recognition III bust
ness or society will be keener than
ever in the coming year, but fame,
after being hard won, will be evanes-
cent, it is foretold.
Scholars are to receive much recog-
milton, and to be aided in attaining
their high ambitions in the coming
year.
Wealth is to be poured out wisely
for the common good and the fact that.
knowledge is power will be consist
emily kept in the foreground.
Under this planetary government.
the aged may cavil at modern ideas.
but they must accept the changed con-
ditions, for there are to be more star
ards of life than have already taken
place, it is prophesied.
Architecture is to occupy attention
as never before in America, astrolo-
gers forecast, for public buildings of
great beauty are to be erected.
Art and all that pertains to the beau
tiful side of life now will receive the
light impetus. and 1927 is to be a year
of fine achievement in the United
States, most blest of countries.
Persons whose birthdate it is have
the augury of constant advancement
in the coming year. Enterprise will
be crowned with success and there
should be settled prosperity.
Children born on that day probably
will have fine executive ability. These
subjects of Capricorn often are able
to become the heads of big business
enterprises.

Peter was "stumped,' as the saying

Nutrition Nuggets.

Next time you wonder which are
the foods that especially make the
wheels go round" in your body re-
member that they are milk, eggs,
oatmeal, whole wheat bread, and
cheese. Not that these are the only
foods that perform this office. There
is one special mineral, however, that
acts on the body, and that is
phosphorus. The foods named are
especially rich in this salt.
If you would like short cut as to
which foods provide more than one
vitamin, remember that the three
earliest known vitamins, A, B, and c.,
are all to be found in raw cabbage,
tomatoes, pineapple, sweet potatoes
and lettuce.
The simple fact that vitamin A is
spoken of as necessary for the growth
Of children does not mean that 1t is
not equally necessary for helping the
groWn-ups to maintain their health.
True, their literal physical growth has
been fulfilled, but their daily health
must be maintained, and this is the
office performed by growth promoting
vitamins in the case of adults.

petite is a general guide, but must
not be taken as the final word" A
constant normal weight is a fairly
dependable guide. 1t has been pointed
out that, while it is not practicable for
the average busy housewife to make
calculations as to number Of calorfes
provided for her family, she can easily
find time to make a special Ttudy of
the diet of some one who is evidently
not eating enough. II there is a
delicate child in the family, one who
is underweight and one who gives
over signs of being malnourished,
make a special dietary table for him,
keeping your eye constantly on the
number of calories of energy required
by one of his age and physical con-
dition.
Although It is not advisable to let
the children become self-conscious
about their appearance, 1t is a good
plan to remind them that their health
habits will make a great difference in
their looks. Take the matter of teeth
alone. Every child can be trained to
be proud of white, firm teeth and he
should be taught that these may be

Doing Small Thing Well.

1t is one Of the commonest faults of
the girl of today that she is so anxious
to be big timer" in every sense of
the word, that she very often tries to
do the big thing and succeeds in doing
it rather badly, when she might much
better have undertaken the small
thing and done 1t very we'll
The schoolgirls, for instance, want
to do the big thing. Every day a
crowd of them gathered after school
in certain expensive French pastry
shop for treat of some sort. AIDE.
laide, one of them, trots along and
tries to keep up, although she has just
barely enough cash. to cover expenses.
Still she doesn't want to lag behind in
the race. So when one of the girls
inaugurates the idea of a party fur
nished by each member of the group
once every two weeks, Adelaide agrees
heartily with the suggestion. There
after she attends the various funC-
tons given by her friends
Jean gives a lunch at nice restau-
rant on Saturday. Mary's mother gets
all the girls theater tickets for a mat
inee. Adelaide watches with a sinking
heart.
Her parents have no money-what
shall she do when her turn comes? In
the end she decides on an after-school
tea at the French pastry shop. She is
rather ashamed of this prosaic idea,
but it is the only thing she can pos
sibly afford Still she determines to
do it up brown. And to that end, she
| orders the most expensive and dainty
of sandwiches, several different kinds
of pastry, tea and ice cream.
The whole thing costs her a for
tune-it takes her weeks to recover
from the blow. And the worst of it is
that her tea wasn't a grand success.
1t was almost fizzle. Because she
had selected such an expensive place
for the scene of her big party she had
to cut out a lot of little extras which
would have made the thing just right.
She was nervous and fiustered dur
ing the entire course of the affair, be.
cause she was terribly worried over
the money situation and so anxious to
impress her guests as being gem
erous hostess that she literally trem-
bled with apprehension.
The result was badly managed tea
party, an unhappy hostess and an un.
comfortable group of guests. all or
whom knew or sensed that Adelaide
had gone beyond her depth In proVld-
ing this treat for them.
If she'd had the good sense and
good taste to invite them to simple
affair in her own home, how much
more smoothly she might have run
her party.
With her mothers help and the
money saved from homemade dain.
ties she could have done the small
thing perfectly--and given her friends
charming pleasant afternoon to re-
member-also saved herself endless
worry and expense.
Learn to do the small thing grace
fully and well-don't strive to be mag.
nificently regal in all your entertain
ments.
