WOMEN WEED SWAMP-ROO- T Thousands of women have kidney and bladder trouble and never luspeot it. Women's complaints often prove to be nothing else but kidney trouble, or the result of kidney or bladder disease. If the kidneys are not in a healthy con-dition, tbey may cause the other orgaaa to become diseased. Pain in the back, headache, loss of am-bition, nervousness, are often times symp-toms of kidney trouble. Don't delay starting treatment.

President Coollde has not escaped the fute of his predecexsors in his e. Some of the stories about Mr. Coolldge would muke it appear that be bus been one that we would call "neur" or clone In money matters. It Is not at all true. President Coolldge has that frugal mind which we are told in the poem that Mrs. Gilpin pos-sessed, but frugality and nearness are not by any means the same thing. The Vw England farmer must be frugal Just as the Scotch farmer must i be. A man who makes his living out of a rocky farm lu New England must be saving If he Is to lead a debtless life. All New Englanders cannot be manufacturers. Learned Simple Life as a Boy. When he was a boy Calvin Coolldge did not have much spending money. Later he found that he must live upon a small salary. Now generosity 'Is, so to speak, a proportionate thing. The man who has a dollur and gives ten cents to a poverty-stricke- n neighbor la more generous than the man who has fifty dollars and gives two of them to the distressed. With the parable of : "1ITE HOUSE" 15 - ; MADEJWA HOTEL NEW PRESIDENT FOUND EVERY : ; ARRANGEMENT PERFEQT . '' WHEN K2 ARRIVED. PARTY CHIEFTAINS GATHER Eager to Learn Mr. Coolidge's Inten-tions Concerning World Court and Other Matters New England's In-fluence Supreme in Administration. By EDWARD B. CLARK Washington. Itecently a suite of twenty rooms In a Washington hotel ' , was turned In a twinkling Into a sub-stitute for a White House. It Is said that the two most alertly efficient government working stuffs are those of the White House and of the secret service. Together these two organi-sations did the work. ; When Culvln Coolldge, having left Washington us vice president of the me wiuow s mice in mina, n seems curious that anyone should speak of stinginess on the part of a man who gives all out of proportion to his In-come but who cannot give large sums because he hasn't them. As the boy, so the man. Mr. Cool-ldge as a boy learned to like und to live on simple food und to dress sim-ply. He still eats simply and dresses simply. As far as the former Is con-cerned, It Is probable that In part he owes his rugged health to the fact that he retalued his farm-tim- e habits. In letters from .Washington It has been said that Calvin Coolldge knows how to say "no," and that ho knows bow to stick to his negative when It has been given. A New Englunder who was a law school mate of Mr. Coolldge told the writer that In the early days of 1020 some of Mr. Cool-idge's friends thought he had more than a possible chance to be nomi-nated by the Republicans for the presi-dency. His chief political advlrer wrote him a letter containing ome advice on a specific subject, telling him, "Here Is the thing that you ought to do to strengthen your cause." This letter was sent to Mr. Coolldge nt the statehoiise in Boston. In an hour the sender received the letter back with these words written across Its face: "I shall do nothing of the kind." The thins which Mr. Coolldge bad been asked to do was In Itself barm-les- s enough, but be had the thought that nn affirmative statement on It might be regarded as lacking In sin-cerity, and so he sent the "no" which a good many Washington politicians today fear Is going to be beard again In the near future. Overwork Killed Mr. Harding. President Harding's body has been given buck to eurth In the commu-nity where he lived, tolled and made his way upward. In less than three years from the day on which the Amerlcuns, of which the majority of the voters honored him with" support, chose him as President, the end came. The country speaks of three presidents as martyrs Lincoln, Garfield and McKInley und It well might add the name of Hunting to the list. He died a martyr to work. Prior to the mournful Journey to Marion, the President's body lay In state in the copltol, the Front Porch of the nation. It Is probable that the crowds thronging about the great build-ing realize what It wus thut killed their President? Is It possible thut the masses of the people will echo Warren G. Harding's words on the World war for another purpose anil suy, "It must not be nguln"? From the date that this man re-ceived notice of bis nomination for the presidency he bad no rest until death gave It to him. It will be said thut be bad vacations on several occasions. He went away seeking rest, but he never found It. The nation's business anl the troubling politicians always were with him. In Washington, with the burdens of office upon him doubled, tri-pled and quadrupled by the grave domestic and foreign, that followed the war. he was compelled to take any from the hours of rest right-ly belonging to him to give them over to consideration of the petty und per-sonal Importunities of his party men and to those of his thoughtless fellow citizens generally. Coolidge May Have Courage to Resist, I'nder the rule of a "willing" presl-- dent there Is no possible rest In the White House. The people seemingly expect certain things, and they must be given what they expect even if the ' giving wears the giver to the breaking point. Reforms In government con- - stnntly are demanded. A chief reform ' well might begin In a Mold which Is not j strictly governmental in Its activities, Every day of the year the White lloii-- n is besieged by insistent seekers after sonn thing or nothing. Asa rule, presl (lours yield to the personal elaniuringi t:illicr than to confront the charge of I'o'ilness or of ludi'Tereiii c to prece-dents which others have set. President Cooljdge comes Into olliee roii!'fontcd with the uiilinMicd work' 'if 1'i'e-iilci- it Harding. It makes a mountain. It may be tint the noli resfiper.itiieiital M.lblgo si lay sa . H"-el-from many of die avocations of Ihe temperamental Harding. If h makes the sax ing he may lose In popm larity. but he will safeguard his life. It takes a high courage to do the un-popular tiling. It Is said that 1're-d- . lent Coolblge has this courage. He ic cis it. united states, came back to It as President, he went direct from the sta-- ' s Hon to the rooms In the New Wll-lar- d hotel whjch he had occupied ever since he arrived In the cupltul for the first time. There hud been only twenty-f-our hour's notice of Ids elevation to the presidency and of his Immediate coming to Washington.' He found a substitute White House ready for him, i ' with reception rooms and working rooms prepured, and a stuff of clerks ready to transact the necessary public business. Already Republican chieftains have gathered around the party council table. One writes facts as they sug-gest themselves. It Is believed that President Coolldge meant definitely what be said when he declared bis In-tention to enrry out the Harding poli-cies. The Harding policies Include a plun for American membership In the International Court of Justice. As the country knows, the Republi-can party, und to an extent also the Democratic party, Is divided on the wis Bom .of such membership. President Coolldge, It Is believed, lit this writ-ing, Intends to stand by the Harding world, court plan. Seemingly there nre many of the leaders of bis political par-ty who nre determined that, If the Pres-ident can be made to yield to persua-sion to take a counter course, attempts nt persuasion shall not be lacking. Party Chiefs Flocked About Him. For days in the temporary White House in the hotel there were present members of the Republican party who supposedly have high Influence In di-recting f tie ways. The first word wus that iittempts were made to sway the nexv President from his world court intention, and this before the funeral of the great advocate of the world Court hod been held. Everything pointed to the conclusion that the forces of opposition were at work from tho Instant that President .Cool-ldge arrived In Washington. Later de-nials cann from Republican chieftains that they had discussed anything with the President, except matters of Im-mediate moment, largely having to do with the preparations for the ceremo-nies attending President Harding's funeral. It was evident, however, from what was said by the Incoming party chieftains, that the world court policy of President Coolldge was uppermost In their minds. Until it definitely Is known whether the matter again Is to be pressed on the senate of the United States, the chances of part official endorsement for any possible ambition of President Coolldge to succeed himself must remain unde-cided. New England in the Saddle, In the present government of the United States, New England Is ull Influential, If not all powerful. The President Is a New Englunder; the leader of the senate, Henry Cabot Lodge, Is a Nexv Englunder; the speaker of the house of representa-tives Is a Nexv Englunder. Senator McLean, chairman of the powerful committee on banking and currency. Is a Nexv Englunder; Senator Colt, chairman of the Immigration com-mittee, Is a Nexv Englunder; Repre-sentative Wlnsli.w, chairman of the house committee on interstate and foreign commerce, u committee that largely controls railroad legislation, und Secretary of War Weeks are Nexv Englanders, There ure Indications that in aome matters legislative Nexv England may be divided against Itself during the next eighteen months. If I're-idei- it (Volidge shall slay by his seeming to attempt to secure endorsement for the Harding plan for world court member-hi- p, it is believed he will not be gixen the support of most of the national legislators who come from his section of the United j States. ,ev England Is the sat of treat opposition (o any American attempt to straighten out the affairs of ' Europe, miles- - -- ieh attempt shall made in a way which in no u jM. will commit this country to any pariicipi- - lion in the activities of European ion.--, leagui s, or sittxtbing ei-- e.

Samuel Strang Nlcklln, owner of the Chattanooga baseball dab, has lost something he never had. Nlcklln, per-haps. Is not particularly known to baseball fans throughout the country, but Sammy Strang, former member of the Giants, la known from oae end of the country to the other. They an one and the same. Sammy for years has been credited with a record as the premier plnch-hltt- er of baseball It is alleged that he made 14 pinch hits In as many con-secutive games. This record was questioned, and an Investigation was made. It resulted In determining that Sammy did not perform any such feat. That discovery really has not de-tracted from Strang's fame as a pinch-hitte- r, however. The fact remains he was a deerhound for speed and he could either bit It out or bunt That's the kind of a pinch-bitte- r' he was. He undoubtedly made his full share of pinch and timely hits, and whoever started the record evidently confused the two, figuring that a timely hit when Strong was playing regularly la the game was the same ns a pinch hit That Is not accurate. A plnch-hltt- er Is one who bats the bail as a substitute for another batter. When a player la playing regularly he may make a hit In an emergency, but that fact does not make him a pinch-hitte- r as the term Is known In ba.sebaIL The old yarn that has lived for more than 15 years about Strang and the 14 pinch hits In succession is simply a story of basebull fiction like so many other stories of Individual perform-ance In the game which will not stand Investigation when the scores are given a good ruklng over. Strang went to but us a pinch-hitte- r 15 times In less than one month and possibly the story that he had made 14 pinch hits In succession grew out of that fact. In those 15 times at bat he missed making a pinch bit about as often as he made one. The claim for the plnch-hlttln-championship can now he put forth by some one else. Strang had been con-sidered to be the leader for so long that the title never had been allotted to any other player. If there Is one who has the reputation' of having made ten pinch hits In succession he seems as likely to be entitled to the crown as anyone else. Cobb Made Mistake in Trading Howard Ehmke Howard Ehmke bus done some great pitching for the Red Sos this season. Every time Tyrus Cobb looks at the pitchlrg records he has a strong temptation to throw a fit. Tyrus traded Ehmke to the Red Sos last winter because he did not agree with Howard In their personal relations. Ty took I'ratt anil Rip Collins for Ehmke und did not got the best of It by any means. I'rult bus been collect-ing splinters on the bench and Collins husn't won many games for the Tigers, while Ehmke has shown form which might have won 10 or 17 games for the Tigers with the kind of support How-ard would have got with Detroit. Wage Slave. The wife of a certain prominent member of the Los Angeles Athletic club button-hole- d v her husband the other day with tears In her eyes. "Dar-ling," she murmured, "every day this week I've been looking In the window of a store near the club where there's a perfect drVara of a hat, but the price was. so tremendous " "Perhaps," began the fond husband. "Yes, dear! But there Isn't any per-haps. I paid the cook this noon, and what do you think? She marched right down and bought herself that verr hat!" Baseball Notes The yellow peril manifests Itself now as a yeurning to kill the umpire when the home team is losing. The Atlanta club purchased Freddie Heck from the Churlotte Sally league club and plana to use him In the out-field. Eddie Beis, pitcher with the Toron-to International league team, has been sold to Worcester of the Eastern league. Johnny Mohardt, former Notre Dame star, didn't last long with At-lanta and wasn't worth the transpor-tation. . The Mobile club looked over the dis-cards fromjhe defunct Cotton States league and decided to take on Bill Stathum. The Detroit club is reported as hav-In- g purchased Sep Good, a southpaw pitcher, from the Buy City club of the Mint league. The foul strike rule was adopted by the National league In 1901. Two years later It was taken up by the American league. Cleo Carlisle, brother of Outfielder Roy Carlisle of the Charlotte teum, line signed a contruct to play with Charlotte next season. Bill Bailey, veteran southpaw, has been exchanged to Omaha by the Houston club for Tex McDonald, no-le-veteran Inflelder. Eddie Meeks, outfielder transferred early In the season by the Louisville club to Petersburg, bus been released by that club to Wilson. The veteran Roy Mitchell of the Dallas team Is again laid up with rheumatism und probably won't do much work from noxv on. Harry Strohm, second baseman of the Topekn team of the Southwestern league, was sold to the Milwaukee American association club. Reports are that the St. Louis Cardinals have purchased Outfielder Russell Senrrltt from the Johnson City club of the Appalachian league. Hurry Emory, outfielder, formerly with the I'.Irminghani and Nashville dubs, has been signed by the Little Rook Southern association club. Richard Itelchle, playing center field for the Red Sox, retired four Cleve-land players In a roxv in the second game of a recent double header.

' Baseball I3 Officially Recognized in Yucatan t Baseball has bucome an officially recognized Institution In th province of Yucatan, In Mexico. Recently 250 basebull outfits were purchused In the States for distribution to clubs being organized, and the government print-ing office In Yucatan has translated the rules of "the game Into Spanish. More than that, at government ex-pense a man has been sent to the United States to study the organiza-tion vf leagues and qualify himself for the duties of supervisor of government baseball In Yucatan. The average man wastes a lot of wind airing his views. Stop Watches Came Into Use Hundred Years Ago Ever since stop watches came Into use almost 100 years ago It has been the practice to record time made In harness racing In minutes, seconds and quarter seconds. Some 00,000 harness horses have made records In the 2:30 list, and some hundreds of thousand races have been timed under this method. Indianapolis Has Been in Four Major Leagues Ijidlanapolls has had quite a ca-reer In organized baseball, the city having been in four different leagues at one time or another.
