It isn’t so difficult to strengthen a weak Stomach if one goes at it correctly. And this is true of the Heart and Kidneys. The old fashioned way of dosing the Stomach or stimulating the Heart or Kidneys is surely wrong! Dr. Shoop first pointed out this error. "Go to the weak or ailing nerves of these organs,” said he. Each inside organ has its controlling or “inside nerve.” When these nerves fail then those organs must surely fajter. This vital truth Is leading druggists everywhere to dispense and recommend Dr. Shoop’s Restorative. A few days test will surely tell! Sold by all dealers.

THE SPORTING WORLD

Konetchy Much Sought Player. • Probably the most talked of player in the baseball world at present is big Ed Konetcby of the St. Louis Nationals. Since the season closed four clubs have made overtures to the St. Louis owners, but all have been rejected. New York Mertyle and Herzog for the big Pittsburg was wlll-

ing to give Abstein and two promising youngsters. Boston wanted the Cardinals’ first sacker and was willing to part with three of their star twlrlers. Philadelphia also made a good offer, but Manager Bresnaban says he will not part with Konetcby, so all deals are off at present. Why Schaefer Lost Out. According to Hughey Jennings, Herman Schaefer has no one but himself to blame for his failure to play up to his standard with Detroit last season, which caused his being traded to Washington for Jim Delehanty. Every spring Schaefer visited Hot Springs for his preliminary worjt. and the result was that be always started the season in the pink of condition. Last spring Schaefer wanted the Detroit club to pay his expenses, and he did not go. The result was that it was well along into the summer before he got In playing fettle, and his work up to that time was so poor that a trade of some kind had to be made. Schaefer now realizes his mistake, and next spring will find him in Hot Springs for several weeks before he reports to McAleer, and it is believed that this will make a lot of difference in his playing.

Baseball Bcouts Are Expensive. Garry Herrmann, president of the Cincinnati Nationals; says that there will probably be no scouts employed next year, at least not at a yearly salary. The scouting proposition has been a very serious expense to the club. Last year two scouts were employed at liberal salaries and with unlimited expense accounts and a large number of young players were purchased, very few of whom were available. A large sum of money was lost in this way, and the practice of wholesale purchase of minor league players will be discontinued. The Reds are now in pretty good sbape as to their regular players, and the necessity for scouts is not so great as it was.

No Million Dollar Gym For Harvard. Harvard will not ha\>p her new gymnasium for some years to come. President Lowell has vetoed the erection of a building to cost a million dollars for athletic work, and its projectors will have to resort to private subscription to carry on their work. In doing so he claims the money would be put out to better Interest if invested In a freshman dormitory. Cricket on the Coast. The*Lelaud Stanford, Jr., university has organized a cricket club, and plans are under way to arrange for matches. Cricket has made little progress on the coast as a sport, and the Californians believe they will find some difficulty in getting mhtcbes. In the event'of that contingency arising clubs will be organised in college and lnterclab matches played. Collins to Losd Providence. James J. Collins of Buffalo Is to he the new manager of the Providence team of the Eastern Baseball league next season. Collins was with Minneapolis last season and was formerly manager of the Boston American league team. He succeeds Hugh Duffy. who Is now manager of (be Chicago American league team.

• • r ‘ ... ) ; : More ood More WhesS Ceed'ot Home. The continued decline in the exportation of breads tuffs lends interest to « statement Just prepared by the bureau of statistics of the department of commerce and labor which shows a steady increase in the* share of the wheat crop of the United States consumed at l/ome aud thus a decline in the quantity sent abroad. The exportations of Bibe&t during the nine months ending with September. 1909. amounted to only 27,708,901 bushels against 68,178.935 bushels in the same months of 1908, and of flour 6,288,283 barrels against 9.428,347 in the same months of last year, suggesting 4sat the calendar year 1909 will show a smaller exportation of wheat than any year in the last decade with tpe exceptions of 1904 and 1905. This falling off hi the exports of wheat la the face of an increased production’indicates, of course, an increased home consumption. The bureau’s figures of consumption in the United States show the average annual consumption for the five years ending with 1884 as 302,000,000 bushels; for the five year period ending with 1889, 322.000,000; ending with 1894, 324,000,000; ending with 189 a 841,000,000; ending with 1904, 433,000.000, and for the five years ending with 1909, 543,000,000 bushels. The annual per capita consumption averaged 5.74 bushels five years ending with 1884, s.fe bushels in the five years ending with 1889, 4.88 bushels in the five .years ending with IJSO4, 4.76 bushels in the five years ending with 1899. 6.46 bushels in the five years ending with 1904 and 6.34 bushels in the five year period ending with 1909. These figures indicate not only a larger consumption as a result of increased population, but also, a larger consumptlonper capita. The share of the domestic product exported, which averaged about 33 per cent in the five year periods ending with 1884, 1894 and 1899, fell t0’30.7 per cent in the five year period With 1904 and 17.25 per cent of the total in the five year period ending with 1909. A woman of seventy-eight has Just entered college. Doubtless her parents have cautioned her against football and fraternity frivolities. ; * It seems to be conceded that If Dr. Cook did not climb Mount McKinley on a certain occasion Mount McKinley has never climbed. Clubmen are speculating as to the relative sizes of the Ananias clubs of T. R. and Peary. Labor and Training Schools. One of the needs of American industry at present is a re-enforcement of the ranks of skilled labor, and it is evident from the trend of discussion before associations of workingmen That a change is taking place in the attitude of organized labor tqward the establishment of trade or Industrial schools. When these schools were first introduced organized labor was opposed to them, believing them s menace to its organization, but the more intelligent" of the leaders now appear to recognize the necessity for such schools. The training school, however, will be really a detriment unless it is thorough, and that it may be thorough proper conditions ought to be imposed on entering it and a continued attendance required for a certain number of years, as is the case in some of the European countries. In those countries a regular course is marked out, and the student, having once entered upon the course, must complete It. When the course is completed the student is required to pass a most exhaustive examination before receiving his certificate of qualification as a skilled Vyorkman. If be fails In any part of his examination he is required to remain another term in the school. In some of the cities of Europe a postgraduate course is provided.

PEOPLE OF THE DAY

- Noted Mountain Climber. With the ad vent 1 * of spring it is believed the moot question as to whether Dr. <3oo k reached the crest of Mount McKinley will be definitely settled. Herscbel C. Purker, professor of physics at Columbia university and a noted mountain climber, has signified his intention of leading an expedition to this much discussed peak. Professor Parker attempted the feat before and was with Dr. Cook shortly before that explorer made the successful ascent, as be claims. * Professor Parker tuts bad vide experience in mountain climbing and has

A couple of years ago he ipade g stir in the scientific world by tbe invention of a new incandescent light.

Dr. Glynn Not Rsoi||rooal. Turn about is fair play, as was discovered not long ago by Dr. Carr Glynn, the bishop of Peterborough. He is an enthusiastic motorist as well as an eatbusiastic prohibitionist. One day he was out in his car, and the chauffeur ran out of gasoline. They went to a pnblic bouse for some more, apd the owner came out. Seeing the episcopal dress of the bishop, he said, “Yes, I have got plenty of gasoline, but I don’t sell It to the likes of them tfiat never buys my beer.”—London Times.

, L«dy <4Bok, Suffragette. Lady Frances Cook, who recently came to America to aid her sisters on this side of the water in their fight for woman suffrage, had an interesting experience the other day. £ndy Cook, who before her marriage was Miss Tennessee Claflln. visited the Ludlow street jail, in New York city, and took a look at the cells in which thirty-seven years pgo Lady Cook and her sister, who were then two militant young American suffragettes, were confined. In cell 3. on the ground floor -of the jail, the party fomffl the following inscription, which time had almost effaced, scratched on the stone wail: “Tennessee Clafiin and Victoria Claflin Woodhull. We will not come here again.*- 2 - The two sisters were detained there in 1872. “My sister and I In 1872 were publishing a suffrage magazine of our own

But on Nov. 2. 1872, we were arrested on a charge of publishing ‘obscenity’ and were locked up in the jail for two months. “Next year we advertised that we would speak on ‘Women’s Rights’ at Cooper Union.
