played in four or five games this sea-
son and to date has not been struck
out. The fielding of Upgren with but
one error throughout the season is
nothing short of wonderful in small
town amateur baseball team. 1t is in
line with big league playing. He has
also taken some almost impossible
chances on getting hard ones and has
pulled them down. Swanson, the
third baseman, is the only man OF
whom it might be said that he is not
strictly a Sturgeon Lake man. He
lives at Moose Lake but has played
with Sturgeon Lake the past four
years and, as above noted, is rela-
tive of the Sturgeon boys. He is how
ever secured from within the 10 mile
limit allowed by the rules OF the
league, Moose Lake being but six
miles from Sturgeon Lake.
No credit, however, should be taken
from the Hinckley team as they were
in the battle till the last man was
out. In the first half of the schedule
they were tied with Groningen-BasS
Lake for fourth place, each team hav-
ing won three games and lost four
Hinckley lost the first two games in
the second half of the schedule and
then labored like regular he-men,
winning five straight and thus tieing
with Sturgeon Lake for percentage
of .715.
All in all it has been a season OF
good baseball and it has been much
enjoyed by the fans. The attendance
at games is much better than it was
few years ago and the brand of ball
delivered in Pine county now is also
much superior to that one could see
here five or six years ago. An or
ganized league such as we have now,
had two years ago, and which had its
beginning with the old Stump
League" of a half dozen years ago
has had much to do with the improve
ment of and interest in baseball. Off
GERS have served without cOmpensa
tion-just for the love of the sport
and they have done much to keep it
up to a certain standard.
Coming back again to the Pine
county hampions-SturgeOn Lake
and their home community, one can
not help but note the baseball air that
exists there. The community has fur
nished one professional baseball play
er-George Cunningham-who plays
with the Southern League, and has
been in salaried baseball for the past
fifteen years. From all appearances
Sturgeon Lake will produce more big
league players. The kids of the town
have their own baseball diamond. At
first they used two catchers, or rather
one catcher and a back-stop. Now
they have the regulation fence up
back of the catcher, and most any eve
ming of the week one can see the
youngsters initiating their local base
ball hero-George Cunningham-as
well as Babe Ruth and the many other
baseball stars. Manager Wallih and
Axel Carlson, president of the Pine
county league, have also done much to
put Sturgeon Lake over the top this
season.
Having won the championship of
the Pine county league the Sturgeon
Lake team now goes to Cambridge to
battle with the champions of the East
ern Minnesota League. If successful
there they will take part in other
elimination games in the state anna
teur baseball championship series.
All of Pine county is back of the LAX
ers and will watch the outcome with
interest.

Trv and Disbelieve

believe in signs, but
''The grounding saw his shadow Thursday.
There is most ridiculous belief that that sig
nifies we are going to have bad weather Tor

any attention to such things, nevertheless
''Science isn't always right, and animals can
sense a storm coming long before humans can;
everybody knows that $50 we hear) and may
be the grounding has some uncanny sensitive
ness about those things"
And so Grounding Day, most unofficial
holiday, was celebrated throughout the land.
Nobody knows just how this superstition
started. Some say it was brought to this
country as adapted from Candlemas Day, when
the badger was supposed to come forth from
his hole and, if he saw his shadow, retire for
six weeks in anticipation of bad weather.
Reason tells us that the veterans OF the
weather bureau, with their meteorological re-
ports and their charts and curves, are the
agency on which we should depend. But rea-
son won't keep many people from being just
a little bit inclined to wait and see whether
the grounding was right. Credulity as to its
prognostic abilities is so much easier than at
tempting to visualize mentally the tortuous
performances of the weather man.

INSANITY AND TOXEMIA
It seems reasonable to assume
that insanity is caused by some kind
Of a mental kink.
Many types of mental instability,
accompanied by illusions and hallu-
citations, have been shown by ,psy-
choanalysts to be due to mental re.
pressions and incoordination OF
thought. Besides these mental COM
plexes there are other causes of a
distinctly material nature, such as
brain injuries from poisons, trau-.
matte injuries, surgical shocks, and
venereal diseases.
A great deal Of private and insti-
tutional work has been done both by
the psychoanalyst, who is looking for
mental causes, and the surgeon, who
is only concerned with injuries to the
brain, itself.
Too little thought has been given
by psychoanalysts to the causes OF
| insanity which might come from a
general toxicosis of the whole body.
have never observed case of any
form of insanity where this toxic
cause did not exist-at least as one
of the causes-and in most cases 1t
seems to me that auto-toxemia is
really the primary cause OF most
mental disorders.
In my practice ! never waste time
looking for mental causes until af-
ter the patients body has been thor
oughly cleansed of all toxic wastes.
Then, if the patients thought proc
esses have not adjusted themselves
to the normal, it is possible to do
very effective work through such
methods as psychotherapy or psyche.

A great majority Of those of un-
sound mind may be placed in the
dementia praecOx class. One OF the
main causes Of this trouble must be
considered as the result of conges.
ton in the plevis, either in the utter
us or prostate. Displacement of alb
dominal organs and constipation are
cOntributOry causes to the conges
ton caused by functional inactivity
and negative emotional desires.
One of the best methods OF quick
