he did mutter, We'll. I'm q son-of-

Bid From q Minor LEAGUE

II come out here on business every
year. I saw you play last year and
got interested. I saw you again dur
ing the past fortnight. W. could
find you a place with our outfit"
he explained.
"Are you scouting for the Chesters
or do you own the team?"
Neither; my wife'S brother owns
the team and I'm always interested.
He asked me to keep q lookout for
a good hurler."
We sat down beside the fountain
IN the hotel yard and talked for q
while.
This particular Tri-state League
was a cOrker, n Of the stronger
of the minor leagues and far and
away above the average so-called
bush league.
Their cities were fairly big ones,
they had an immense following,
made good money and paid well.
More than that-it was fast COM
pany, from q baseball viewpoint.
On the other hand, I had much
to think Of. Sam Merrill hadn't
mentioned my coming back to the
San Guardos, but had seemed to
take It for granted. ! could sell my
Avalda team to John Merrill any
time, as he had said that he wanted
to really own It instead Of merely
pretending to have it.
And there was his daughter
Mavis-She '1iked" me, and that
was all. She had turned down my
proposal. This night I had seen
her with q young man who was
evidently more to her idea or
dream of what sort Of . husband
she wanted.
Darwin told me what they would
pay me. Naturally it was away
above the money the bush leagues
could afford.
I'll tell you what, MI. Darwin"
I finally said, II cannot decide until
tomorrow night. / have q lot to do
tomorrow, a lot Of business to trans
act and" I hesitated. I couldn't
explain that I wanted Just q word
with Mayis-"some other things.
It all depends on that"
That was quite all right with
him. He would be there another
week. he told me.
My first move next day was to
telephone John Merrill about the
Ayalda team.
"Sure I want to buy It, Bert" he
declared, and added that he would
drive into town right away.
Within a few hours John Merrill
actually owned the Avalda team. !
had q little more than my money
back, besides the small margin Of
profit 1t had made for me during
the season.
We met Red Flanagan at this
time. He eyed me rather sourly
because I was with John Merrill.
Red naturally believed, as did
every ono else, almost, that John
Merrill had owned the team all the
I saw Red go up to Merrill tight
after we had shaken hands. We
had just come from his lawyers
and completed the sale.
I was climbing into my car as
saw Red saying something to Mer-
rill. Then Merrill called me over.
Red wheeled and glared at me q
II he expected trouble.
Il don't know whether to laugh
or cuss this fellow" he said.

Merrill hesitated as II undecided
what to do. Finally the humor OF
1t won out.
"Flannigan here has warned me
that he won't sign up II I take you
on the AvaldaS," Merrill said. HE
thinks I was trying to sign you up"
I looked at Red and then began
to laugh.

going to play on the Avaldas."
I turned to 60.

RETURNING TO A GENERAL DIET
~ ~ DR. FRANK Nc COY

RETURNING TO A GENERAL DIET
The process Of elimination should
now be well established with those
who started this spring eliminative
diet course. The first two days of the
course consisted of an acide fruit diet.
The following five days Of the
course Is q non-starchy vegetable
diet. making a course of seven days
in all.
Many of you have undoubtedly
noticed quite an improvement in your
health by this time. This is because
your diet is simple and you are not
interfering with the digestive proc
esses by using the usual bad combi-
nations. You have also been increas-
Ing the elimination of toxins through
the eltminative organs. But you
should remember that q cure is at
best but a temporary change and it
cannot be permanent, whether it is
brought about by q special diet or by
q drug, unless you are constantly on
the alert to correct your everyday
habits Of eating, exercising and
thinking to allow the body to func-
ton in a normal way without con-
flicting with the Interchangeable laws
Of nature.
Now is a good time to build into
your mind these health habits.
We know that the function of
breathing is so important that if the
inhalation and exhalation of air to
the lungs is stopped for only q few
minutes death must take place. It is
therefore important for us to learn to
breathe properly 50 that the body can
obtain a greater supply of oxygen and
can eliminate the gaseous waste prod
ucts through the lungs. Such games a
basketball. baseball, wrestling, boxing,
etc., which produce heavy breathing
tend to develop the diaphragm be-
cause Of extreme exertion. AS only a
small percentage Of people take up
the sports which compel deep breath
ing, for those Of you who are in the
majority, it Is advisable to start some
form Of breathing exercises to de-
velop diaphragmatic strength and
control. One of the simplest exercises
to use is inhaling and exhaling slowly
and deeply while you are taking your
daily walk. Inhale slowly and swell
up the waist and lower ribs so that
the circumference around that Sec
ton Of your body is the largest pos
sible. Do this slowly while taking
four steps and while taking the
next four steps force the air out
Of your lungs until your waist meas
ures the smallest possible circumfer-
ence. The last breath should be
forced out with a kind of grunt.
Every few days you can increase the

It Does Seem Unfair

Pressed on all sides by many different problems, the
railroads of the country are beginning to complain about
the provision in the Panama Canal law which prohibits
them from operating steamships. The idea back of the
regulation was to make water and rail transportation
competitors and thereby benefit the consumer.
With business consolidation and mergers seen on
every hand, however, and with the railroads having some
thing of a difficult struggle to make both ends meet and
pay a modest dividend. it does seem rather out Of date.
The provision has never benefited the shippers in this
part Of the country, Just as we never have received any
direct benefit from the operations of the canal. With
out minimizing the benefits Of the canal to the United
States as q whole. it cannot be denied that the trans
continental lines which serve this section would be doing
more business II it were not for the water-route COM
petition. On the theory that volume results in economies,
we may justifiably assume that our own freight rates
would be lower II more use were made Of the rails which
now serve relatively few trains.
An effort now Is being made to bar the railroads from
highway transportation, just as use Of the canal was
denied them. Commenting on this fact a spokesman
for the railroads said recently:
Under the Panama Canal act the railways are
now prohibited from engaging in water trans
~portation. Efforts are being made to secure leg
islation that will exclude them from engaging In
highway transportation. We constantly hear the
theory advanced that our various means OF trans
portation should not compete with but should
supplement one another. but the obvious pur-
pose of such legislation is to promote, and even
compel, unrestricted competition between the
different kinds Of carriers. If we are to have q
system of transportation coordinated in a way
that is economically sound the railways must be
given the same freedom as other companies to en-
gage in all forms Of water and highway trans
portation.
To us it seems rather obvious that, by all the principles
of justice and fair play, he is right in his contention.

Educational Competition

With the passing Of the era In which most manufac-
turing was done at home, the apprenticeship system OF
training workers went out Of style in America. There
are plenty of men still living who can remember when
the boy who wanted to be q shoemaker was apprenticed "a
. shoemaker. His brother was apprenticed to the har-
ness-maker and his numerous cousins to the timer, the
PRINTER, the plumber and a host of other tradesmen.
It was all q part Of the boys education and, since II
ms suitable to the times, it often worked out to the adj
vantage Of the boy as well as to that Of the man who had
undertaken to educate him. Book learning" was scarce
enough In those days and, under the circumstances. was
rightly regarded as less important than it Is now. Be-
fore machinery made mass-production possible 1t was q
mod deal more important to do q whole job and DO It
vel1 than to be able to talk about 1t. In that period the
shons and business houses competed more actively with
the schools for the time Of the youth Of the land than Is
the case today.

TO-DAY is THEA
sAgZA
OF FRESNOY

CAf LUKE OE t1kESNOY
On May 9, 1917, the Germans re-
captured Fresrloy at the height of the
battle of Arras.
Philip Gibbs, war correspondent,
describes the capture as follows:
Upon this village (Fresnoy) and
the neighboring ground the enemy
concentrated everything he has in
artillery which can be directed on
this sector of the front, and in addi-
ton to the ordinary high explosives
and shrapnel, he flung a storm of gas
shells wherever he thought the Brit
ish had battery positions.
"Fresnoy itself had been a difficult
place to hold since the Canadians
took it so gallantly on May 3. 80.
The enemy had marked it down for
attack, and for several days made
strong counterthruSts on each side of
it in order to prevent British troops
getting forward to straighten out the
line. English troops had to bear the
brunt Of the German concentrated
fury"

think sleep before midnight is better
than after?"

Answer: Scientists have found
that there is no difference in sleep.
You will sleep just as Soundly before
IL rs after and vice versa. The first
few hours of sleep are the deepest,
however, and a person who goes to
bed at nine o'clock will sleep the
soundest from then until IL o'clock;
II he goes to bed at IL o'clock, he will
sleep his soundest from about IL until
three o. four o'clock.
Polypi
Question: M. L. asks: us there
any cure other than surgically re-
moving polypi Of the nasal passage?"
Answer: A diet taken to cure Ca
tarrhal troubles will often reduce
nasal passages. Such a treatment
should be combined with ultraviolet
light treatments directly to the polypi.
II this is not effective, one can al
ways fall back on surgical measures.
In such q case the operation is simple
and not dangerous.

Preserve the Films

Mary Pickford,s decision to buy all the films in which
she has appeared in order to protect her name and fame
against derision is to be regretted. Mary is super
sensitive. She says:
"The motion pictures are in q very crude state now and
would be simply laughable In 20 years."
Why should Mary fear ~posterity? Her old films may
be re-run in some historical review Of the development
of cinema. They may create a few good laughs but IN
reality these films have a certain historical value winch
should be preserved. She should change her plans ana
let them rest in the archives of the various studios.
