But the treadmill’of work which has no change shifting through it makes even a sunny nature despondent As long as a man has his good meals cpoked well, his home neat and clean, he is content to let it go at that. He sees the roses die out of his good wife’s cheeks. Her light step is slower. It rests with him more than he is iware whether in time the load becomes too heavy for her to bear or if he manfully shifts the burden from

A new .electric fixture hgs been patented which will permit the user to sdjiist the strength of the 1 ight to any degree he desires. Unlike some oftfie older adjustable electric bulbs which, have a choice between two» intensities of light, the new bulb can be adjusted to any number of Intensities within its limits. It consists of a plug and socket, the plug to screw into the regular socket, the socket to receive the electric bulb which may be of any pattern. By turning the special socket to right or left the light can be made brighter or dimmer at pleasure.

POULIRY NOTES

It takes coaxing to get fowls to eat food they are not accustomed to. Keep a box of dry bran where the hens can have access to it. When pullets start, they usually lay eggs irregularly for a' while. Bowel trouble is oftep suspected with, turkeys when It is nothing but worms. Mature guineas taken to a strange place are very apt to stray off. Every farm should have a few geese on it. • With poultry it-is better to have quality than quantity, if we cannot have both. It is not impossible to; get winter eggs. What one has done another, can do. I Leghorns are delicately adjusted , machines, and it does not take much to upset them. -, r.> mb* ■ l ßoup and many otbnr poultry wash the hands well after handling gick fowls. | J

her shoulders to his. It doesn’t always require bringing in someone to do the work. There are other means to lighten the load. No matter how much he may appreciate home cooking, he should be wise enough to Insist that she shall accompany him out for a dinner occasionally oh Sunday. , The -restaurant to which he takes her may not be an expensive one. But the change of food and surroundings would do her a world of good. How delighted the overworked housewife is to hear her husband say: “Let me take a hand in helping you clear away the lunch dishes, that we majc-go-out for a walk this bright Sunday afternoon." With a helping hand, how quickly the work is finished. She is encouraged to don her Sunday clothes, primping a bit just as she used to do when she was a single girl waiting the coming of her beau. A husband should see to it that the evenings do not hang unpleasantly. There are old friends to call on, a lecture or movie to while away dull care. Just because she Is married, he shouldn’t suppose that she has lost her enthusiasm to go to a dance now and then. She may not care to trip the light fantastic toe, as she used to in other days, but pleasant memories eome to her as she looks on. It Is every husband’s duty to make his wife’s life happy. This she cannot -be if she has no pleasures. She is glad to save for him; make a contented home, do everything to further his interest. Why shouldn’t he try to make her burdens as light as he can? Her happiness should be his happiness. (Copyright, ( 1917.)

Our Failing PhysiqueSomething to Worry About When Other Subjects Fail

When all other subjects for’ fall we can always fall back on the deterioration of the national physique. An insurance man makes the latest contribution to this fascinating discussion. We learn that out of 1,300,000 applications for life insurance each year 100.000 are rejected. A pen picture of the average American protrays him as hustling too much for the good of his health. “His hair has aged and he is getting bald. His digestive organs have been given so many new nnd arduous duties to which they _a.re not accustomed that they are showing signs of rebellion. He is seriously overstraining his heart, arteries, kidneys, nerves and digestion. Under exertion he is short-winded. His 400 muscles are virtually all soft from lack of use. He-never walks when he can ride. The arches of Ms feet are gradually falling because his .. luscles provided to hold them up have weakened by long disuse.” It seems that the average American has about every disease except housemaid’s knee. Is the picture a true one? Are there not many exceptions to this gloomy appraisal ? How about the hosts of baseball and football players among the younger and the golf enthusiasts among the older men? Bowling and basketball are popular sports just now. Should not their thousands of devotees help to raise the physical average? The business men’s classes in our gymnasiums ought to afford a little gleam of encouragement.. Even the billiard players get a certain amount of wholesome exercise. The patrons of the skating rinks do not present exactly an emaciated appearance. May it not be that health and mortality statistics are kept a little moreZstrtctly and accurately nowadays “than formerly? There are tests, too, for life insurance, such as that for blood pressure, for instance, that were unknown a few years ago, and these tend to reduce the number of successful _ applicants, But, of course, if 1 one really .wants to worry over the degeneration of the American physique, these considerations can be ignored.—Pittsburgh Chronicle.

That’s the way we do things in this country.” “Softly, brother,” said the practical politician. “That sort of ‘pork’ has a psychological effect.” “What do you mean?” “When this handsome post office was erected in Skiddersville prominent citizens who had never worn collars before began to spruce up and put on city airs.” And There Are Others.

Photographing Oneself.

The man with a camera rarely has his picture because of the difficulty of be’ing in front of the camera and behind it at the same time. A simple manner of accomplishing this seemingly impossible performance is described in a recent number of a photographic journal. Secute a wooden clothespin and shape out one end so that it grasps the bulb of the shutter and the spring tends to press on the bulb. Then .the other , arebrought together so as to release the bulb and are tied with string or thread. On this is put a piece of fuse of some length. Lighting the fuse, the person goes to the distant point before the camera, and when the string is burned the clothespin presses the bulb and makes the exposure.—Christian Science Monitor.

Uruguay’s Gulden Tree.

By far the most beautiful of the trees of Uruguay, South America, is the mimosa. This tree is an evergreen, and grows to a height of about 40 feet. Even when not in flower it Is very handsome, onacconnt of Its dark green fern-like leaves and graygreen trunk. The flowers are like little balls of golden-yellow pollen, and they have a sweet scent. They cover the branches of the tree from top to bottom, and at a distance one would almost say the whole thing was made of gold, or had been transplanted from fairyland.

MAKING GOOD AT GOLF

Bab Players Succumb to Lure of Scottish Sport. , * < & Several Excellent Golfers Recruited From Ranks of Diamond Stare— John Ward and Arthur Shafer Are Most Prominent.

That a good baseball player may also be a good golfer -is being provedwith increasing frequency as more and more ball players succumb to the lure of the royal, and .ancient game in their leisure hours. Several excellent golfers have been recruited from the ranks of the stars of the diamond and there are said to be many more in the process of development, for it takes time to develop a golfer. Two names stand out when the golfing ball players are named. One is the veteran, John Montgomery Ward, manager of the Giants more than a score of years ago, and the other is Arthur Shafer, who played with the Giants only a few seasons back. Both Ward and Shafer are amateur golfers, having been formally reinstated by the United States Golf association after ’producing legal proof that they had forsaken professional sport, and swearing that they did not intend to return to it at any time in the future. Both are good golfers, too, and a meeting between them would be an interesting struggle. Ward plays his golf right in the metropolitan district and generally disposes of one or two of the younger stars in every tournament which he enters. Shafer is a member of a California club and is rated at five on the handicap list of the Southern California Golf association. He has. been a prominent figure in recent tourneys on the Pacific coast, although he has been playing golf only a couple of years. Everybody knows that Christy Mathewson plays golf and does pretty well at the game, although he is far from being in the class with Ward and Shafer. Chief Bender is about on a par with Matty, although he is said to be extremely erratic, paying well one day and wretchedly the next. Among the managers—not counting Matty, who is so young a manager that he needn’t be grouped with them yet— Connie Mack and Hugh Jennings are the most aydent golfers, and John McGraw has tried to play the game two or three times, with what success no one knows who was not with him on those occasions.

Two great batters who play golf and play it as they bat —left hand — are Tyrus Cobb and Eddie Collins. Grover Cleveland Alexander of the Phillies has a habit of preparing for a ball game by indulging in a round qf the links, and others of lesser fame with similar habits are Charles Dooin, Hans Lobart, Harry Davis, Sherwood Magee, Jack Lapp, Jimmy Walsh, Earl More, Otto Knabe, George McQuillan, and among the veterans Adrian C. Anson, who, like Ward and ‘Shafer, has been reinstated by the United States Golf association.

ANXIOUS TO BREAK RECORDS

Several Remarkable Feats Planned by Pennsylvania Swimmers for Coming Season. Ipng-dl stance swimmers plan several remarkable feats for the coming season. Frank Rogers of Pittsburgh will Shortly attack the 24-hOUr record for pool swimming; Charles Durborow of Philadelphia has nearly completed arrangements for a try at the world's rCCord from’ MotitnuV PoTnt to Point Judith, on the Atlantic coast, and Miss Anne Kane of Lansdowme, Pa., is training for an attempt early in the summer to beat her own best swim of 26 miles in 11 hours.

the American league, and Ferdie Schupp. in the National league, were regarded as the leading twirlers. Every club now has. to carry at least two southpaws in order to be’protected. while one port-sider was considered enough in the aid days.

BILLY EVANS SOLVES BASEBALL PROBLEMS

(Written Especially for Thia Paper by the Famous American „ League Umpire.) A play came up in the American league last year that is not at all ■uncommon; it happens often during the summer in amateur, minor

the catcher approached the bag with ball in hand, two runners.were standing on the bag. He touched the runner who was originally on third when the batter hit the ball to the shortstop. Then he threw the ball to the pitcher, who was standing near by. Immediately, the runner who had come up to third from second made a dash for the second sack. The pitcher threw the ball to the second baseman, who was standing near the bag. He made a bad throw, the ball going into center field. The runner on third, whom the catcher believed he had retired, made a dash for the plate as the ball rolled to the outfield. The runner who had started to return to second retraced his steps and beat it for third. The batter, who was on second, having «reached there while the other plays were being made, also started for the third sack. The center fielder made a bad throw to third and before the ball was recovered all three runners had scored. If you had been an umpire in that game what would have been your decision on the play at third and how many.runs would you have allowed? Answer to Problem. With the two men standing on third base, the catcher tagged the wrong man, hence no one was out. The runner who had been caught between third and home and then managed to get back to third In safety, was entitled to that bag. It wag his by right of possession. The catcher in touching him erred. He should have touched the runner who had advanced from second and was standing on the bag. Touching him would have retired him and avoided the inix-up that followed. Since no one was retired, all three men on'the bases at the time scored through wild throws of the pitcher to second and the outfielder to third. A base always belongs to the man who originally held it. (Copyright by thp Wheeler Syndicate, Inc.)

DARCY HAS TERRIFIC PUNCH

George Chip’s Seconde Have Trouble in Bringing Him To After Australian Hit Him. Snowy Baker, the Australian promoter, sent the following as an aftermath of the Les Darcy-George Chip fight in Sydney on September 73ftwhich Darcy won with a knockout in the ninth round. Chip was in a bad way after being knocked out, and his seconds had some trouble in bringing him to. Tom McMahon was pulling his hair and shak-

ing his hand, while Jimmy Dime was slapping his face and in other ways trying to resuscitate him. At last George came to with a jerk, and when Dime called to him, he seemed as though he woke with a start,' for he said: “Hello! What’s wrong?” Dime smiled a sad, grim smile, and replied: , “You’ve been knocked out.” Chip looked at Dime for a few seconds and then grinned: “Quit trying to kid me, Jimmy,” he said. “How could I be knocked out when the fight doesn’t begin until tonight?” Dime had quite a time convincing the stupefied Chip that he wasn’t In his own bed on the morning before the fight, but that he actually was on the floor of the ring in which Darcy had dealt out to him such a crushlng defeat

THEN CHIEF HEYERS FANNED

Manager McGraw Got Indian’s Goat by Referring to Way In Which ex-Giant Lost Money. Several years ago, when Chief Meyers was a Giant, he asked Christy Mathewson to advise him how to invest some money. “Buy Rock Island!” was Matty’s repiy. So the chief put up 11,500 only to see the stock drop td nothing. Of course, the Indian, who loves his dollars, was bitterly disappointed. He , couldn’t talk to Matty without showing his feelings. ( Last spring when Meyers had been sold to the Brooklyns Matty faced him in a game at the Polo grounds. As the Indian came to bat. McGraw, who was eager to. disconcert him, shouted from the beffch: / “Matty, pitch the chief that Rock Island fade Sway 1” iLI J , The chief (hen carved the air.

and big league games. Yet it confused for a moment an American league catcher who is rated as a star, and this confusion, resulting in an incorrect interpretation of the play, resulted in the loss of the game. With runners on second nnd third and one out, the batter hit to the short stop, who threw home, the man on third dashing for the plate. Seeing that he was a certain out, the runner stopped before reaching the plate, his object, of course, being to allow the other runners to advance as far as possible. A run-up between third and home then Vhsued, the runner who had been caught finally reaching third in safety. In the meantime, the runner on second had advanced to third, so that, as
