Cliff Furnishes Medicine

Beachy Head is being swallowed by
patients at st. Thomas hospital, Lon
don, at the rate of two tons a year,
says an article in the Montreal Fam

powder that has reduced the number
Of operations at the hospital for the
relief Of certain stomach troubles
from one or two day to one month.
In the out-patients' department a hun
dredweight of the powder is used
every month by two hundred or more
patients. The powder consists of a
mixture of bicarbonate of soda, mag

costs the hospital 8 shillings and

bought for II shillings a hundred

results as bismuth.

Tokens Issued to Cover Metallic Coin Shortage

Early in 1862 all metallic currency
In the United States was gradually
withdrawn from circulation. Many
citizens anticipated the possible in
crease in value of all metals and be-
gan boarding gold, silver and copper
to such an extent that soon no metal
lie coins of any denomination were in
circulation. 1t then became necessary
3or tradesmen to issue a medium that
would meet the supply caused by the
deficiency of government currency.
The first of these Civil war tokens
appeared In Cincinnati in the fall of
1862 and began to circulate in New
York in the spring of 1863. The first
made In New York was the Linden
mueller currency, Of which there were
100000 pieces struck. Then William
Fl. Bridgens, the die cutter, issued the
KnickerbOcker currency, consisting of
numerous varieties and struck in large
quantities. 1t was estimated that no.
less than 25.OOO.OOO of these private
tokens were issued throughout the

''It will be seen from the above" the bulletin
states, "that the food value of canned pineapple,
measured by calories contained in it, is by
no means negligible"
So James D. Dole whose name is indissolubly
connected with the pineapple industry in Hawaii,
both as pioneer and developer, not only turned
a possible liability into proved asset, but this
industry is making distinct contribution to our
national diet in form that is both nutritious and
popular. And that is why there is no unemploy-

Real Food Value
Is this large production of pineapple real

in taste? According to scientists, it is.

says a bulletin of the University of Hawaii "but
as an all around source Of vitamins the canned
pineapple takes an unusually high place. No
other canned product, except tomatoes, is as
rich in vitamins."
But the fruit has to be handled right. There is
marked difference in it's sugar content depend

YOUNG HACK SEEN
AS REAL SATELLITE
Expected to Fill Gap That
Has Existed Since Days
of SteinfeIdt.
BY JOHN b. FOSTER.

N YEW YORK, November 12.-
M The Chicago Cubs would
l y have given all their old
shoes and probably good
sized wad of Owner William Wrig-
ley, jr.'s, money to have found a
third baseman during the past
season who could prop up their
infield. Now all Chicago fandom
believes the Cubs have captured
the man they wanted in the per-
son Of Stanley Hack of the Sacra-
mento club of the Pacific Coast
League.
Hack was something Of minor
league sensation. He played In 1852
.354, making more than 200 hits. He
was said to be the best third sacker OF
the Pacific Coast loop.
Young Hack, who will not be 10 until
December, has set the old-timers IN
Chicago to talking of the days Of 1906,
when the Cubs had Steinfeldt on third
base. Not since those days have the
Cubs had a real third sacker Of the
first class.
twenty years had elapsed in 1906
since the Cubs had won pennant, and
the big city in the West was wildly
enthusiastic over the victory. That
year Steinfeldt finished third among
the National League players in batting,
with a percentage Of 1921 including
81 two-baggers, 10 three-waggers and
3 home runs. He was the type
of batter so common in his day, a
sharp. almost vindictive, line hitter, the
I,n1I hn rf n
fielders, or whistling between them.
Other changes than the addition OF
Steinfeldt helped the Cubs win that
pennant of 1906, but Steinfeldt was the
principal reservoir Of added strength.
The success Of the Cubs made Frank
Chance, who was their manager. and
made Charles w. Murphy, their owner.
The third baseman was the cause OF 1t:
One afternoon when Murphy mad
been induced to lay aside ms assump-
ton Of personal braggadocio, he was
asked to what he really ascribed his
base ball success.
ITO my good luck in talking Cincin-
natl out of Steinfeldt,'' he replied
without a moments hesitation. II
was in the Cubs on borrowed money.
I only hoped to get through the season
fairly we'll. Not only did I get through,
but I won a pennant, and it was that
Dutchman at third base who made II
solid for me-
All last season third base vexed
Rogers Hornsby, the present manager.
Other positions were a vexation, too,
but third base tottered before the sea-
son began and never recovered. The
old-timers say Hack has much the same
vicious cut at the ball that character
lied Steinfeldt's batting. His 200 hits
last season included 35 two-baggers. 10
triples and homers, much the same
as Steinfeldt's hitting.
If Hack can steady the Cubs and put
them in the fight for next year, II
will be odd to think that one Hack
comes to the rescue when another
Hack has been banished in disfavor
