Causes Mrs. Flemng i to Endorse, Tanlac Practical Nurse for 16 Years Tells of Recovery Thanks to Tanlac Recommends It to Patients. 'I would never have believed any medicine on earth could help me like Tanlac did," Is the precise statement of Mrs. Cella Fleming;, 1915 Addison St., Berkeley, Calif., a practical nurse of sixteen years' experience. "In 1904 a serious operation, weak-ened my system so I never saw a real well day until I took Tanlac three years ago. I never seemed to be hun-gry, my stomacb was so disordered I could scarcely retain a thing I ate, and I lost weight till I was almost a shadow. I was very anemic, and shat-- tered nerves and sleepless nights con-fibut-even more to my already mis-erable state. . ' "Tanlac built up my appetite and di-gestion wonderfully, and every single ailment went away. Then, with return-ing strength came a Increase In weight, and from that day three years ago my health has been splendid. I recommend Tanlac to many of my patients, for It Is Indeed a remarkable . medicine." Tanlac Is for sale by all good drug-gists. Over 40 million bottles sold, Accept no substitutes.

J: Funniest Situation on Football Field f When recently asked what jj '.I he believed to be the funniest $ y situation he had ever observed 1 on i football field, Coach J. W. i Wllce of Ohio State told this Y X one: y "One summer I had several ambitious football coaches In Y my course of physical eduoa- - 2 tlon. In a demonstration of X the 'quick kick' on the field, X $ one punter's foot slipped and y X landed squarely on the seat of X man who was In position to y . Interfere for the kicker. That X y was what I call a real 'quick y kick' In the pants." X if v Builds Miniature Rail Line on Country Estate W. Cecil Gage, retired broker,. of Flshklll, N. Y., has Just completed a two-mil-e miniature railway system, which he has constructed with his own hands entirely from odds and e4 found lying about his estate. The tracks and switches were made from the floor beams and the cars and locomotive from the parti-tions of dismantled farm buildings. Ashes from the family furnace served as ballast for the tracks. A gasoline motor to run the locomotive and wheels for locomotive and cars are the only parts of the system that are not homemade. Mr. Gage began constructing hit lit-tle road five years ago In order to supply himself with an easy way of disposing of ashes. He has been steadily adding to it since then until now he has two miles of track, five passenger cars, two flat cars, a freight car, eight switches, four crossings equipped with warning signs, a turn-table, a snowplow and half a dozen stations. At night and during severs weuther a long chicken bouse serves as a "roundhouse" for the protection of the rolling stock. The road Is used to ' carry farm products, firewood and similar mate-rials nhout the estate as well as to take the children of Flshklll and the surrounding towns for Joyriding. Mr. Gage estimates his yearly mileage as something above 10,000. The tiny cars attain a speed of 20 miles an hour or more on straight runs, and, al-though several thousand persons have been carried as passengers, there never has been an accident. Popular Science.

' .4 John Tobin, brilliant outfielder ot the St. Louis Browns, Is the Ideal type of lead-of- f man for a baseball team. He is short of stature, very fast, has a keen eye, and can bunt or sock a ball with equal facility. He Is a won-der "dragging" the ball through the Infield, a play which upsets much op-position. Many funs claim that John Is a second Willie Keeler. GREAT PITCHERS OF PAST FORTY YEARS Long List Is Blue-Pencil- ed Down to Cy Young. A writer In a magazine devoted to baseball has made a careful estimate of the comparative merits of the best-know- n pitchers of the Inst forty years, and after mensurlng their records and their prowess, and subjecting their eff-iciency to many tests, has blue-pencile-d the long list down to one shining mime the name of Denton Tecumseh Young, our own Cy Young, who Is pronounced by this authority the greatest pitcher that ever lived, says the Cleveland Plain Dealer. It would have been Interesting If this Investigator had carried his com-parisons back to the pitchers In the still earlier days. There were giants, then, too, although possibly not In the Cy Young class. There were pitchers who pitched all through the season, game after gnme. There were pitch-ers who had peculiar types of eff-iciency that were quite as strongly de-veloped as those of the modern hurl-er- s. Here are the nnmes of a few of the early day pitchers, all players of note: Asa Bralnard of the original "Red Stockings," who went through an en-tire season without losing a game. George Zettlein, called "The Charm-er," who had a remarkable command over the sphere. Alphonso Martin, 'Thonny Martin," who was famous for his slow ball, his drops and his twisters. Amos Cummlngs, who Is believed to be the first professional pitcher who used a curve ball. Riner Wolters, "the long Jersey-man,- " who pitched for the Cleveland "Forest Citys" In 1872. A. O. Pratt. "Al Pratt." another Cleveland pitcher, who In 1871 was re-garded as having the swiftest delivery In the profession. Charlie Pabor, the first noted left-hand-pitcher, who helped to estab-lish the fame of the noted Unions of Morrtsanla. Then there were Spalding of the Bostons, and McBrlde of the Athletics, steady and brulny pitchers who left admirable records. There were others In the early days whose pitching efficiency was widely recognized, but those named above were at ono time the best known. Drinking Toast Dates Back to Pagan Times Just as nutmeg, spices and so on are still sometimes put Into such a drink, as "punch," so In the olden days a common custom was to slip a mite of toasted bread into a glass of ale with the Idea that the tuste was thereby Improved. And so It came about that a drink was called a toast. The custom of drinking to someone really dates from the old pagan days when sacrifices used to be made to the gods. Later on an offering of wine was made Instead, Its red color typi-fying the actual blood of the real sacrifice. Later still men made their offerings not to the gods but In honor of a friend. So our ancestors would ' drink a glass or roast In honor of someone, and the person honored was as often as not called a toast for short. Mme. Mustache Famous Character of Deadwood One of the famous and mysterious characters who thronged the streets of Deadwood, in the Black hills, in the latter seventies was a plump, little French woman of about forty years, called Mme. Mustache, from a dainty little hirsute adornment gracing her upper lip. For 15 years she had followed the railway and mining camp, conducting gambling houses "on her own," dealing her own game, handling the faro box like a veteran and maintaining "or-der" (as it was .known) In every es-tablishment she owned. Nothing was known of her antece-dents, except that she was of a degres of culture superior to her environ-ment and was a good sport and a square dealer. Detroit News. Shortest Electric Wave Is Only Ten Meters Long Complete electric waves only ten me-ters long, believed to be among the shortest ever produced, have been de-veloped by an electric oscillator In-vented by .7. P. Burton, a sophomore student at the University of Minneso-ta. The electrical engineering depart-ment Is beginning experiments to de-termine whether this current Is prac-ticable In radio communication. The waves compare with ordinary lengths of from 100 to 24,000 meters used In radio communication, while wave lengths in power transmission are frequently several thousand miles long. One advantage of the short waves Is that they can be used more effec-tively In classroom demonstration than longer ones can. The Burton oscillator generates pro-nounced "standing" current so that at one point on a wire several amperes are measured, while a few feet away no current is perceptible. Another of Its freaks Is that short circuits on the wire do not seem to affect It. Waves from the new oscillator have the unusuajly high frequency of cycles per second. Careless of Him Boy (home from college for the week-end- ) nave you seen my new belt around the house? Mother No, did you put It around the house? Canada's first professional baseball organization was the Ontario league, which played Its first regular season In 1885. Of the members of the British royal family, the duke of York Is the best billiard player, although he Is d. Judging from the length of his mummy case old King Tut apparently would have made a good basketball center. The New York Yankees have re-leased Pitcher Elbert Johnson to the Des Moines club of the Western league. The Cleveland club has transferred George Winn, southpaw pitcher for-merly In the Southern league, to Mil-waukee. The Oxford and Cambridge crews of England, will, It Is expected, de-velop an entry for the Olympic re-gatta at Paris. Al Orth, veteran pitcher and um-pire, has been engaged as coach of athletics for Virginia Military Insti-tut- e at Lexington. The 1924 championship tournament of the American Trapshootlng associa-tion will mark the silver Jubilee of that organization Chief Albert Bender has taken hold of the baseball squad at the Annapolis Naval academy and expects to de-velop a winning team. An eastern professions! football league Is contemplated, Including teams of Philadelphia and other points, notably Atlantic City. The Kansas City club offered the veteran outfielder, Beals Becker, to several clubs In the Coast league in exchange for a second baseman. Among the leaders In rbe majors to win baseball pennants John McGraw won nine; Connie Mack, six; Frank Chnnce, four; Hughle Jennings, three. Tete McCrse, football end and cap-tain, has been elected captain of the Syracuse busketball team, succeeding Capt. Fnsce, who was declared In-eligible. In Max Bishop, secured from Balti-more, Connie Muck adds another slug-ger to the Athletics. Bishop, with 22 home runs, tied Webb of Buffalo for circuit swat honors. Among new collegians or s signed by the St. Louis Car-dinals of lute Is Donald Hurst, a play-er who nisde a reputation as first baseman with the Ohio Military insti-tute last season. The path of glory leads but to the grave as do all other paths. V Stone-Ag-e Men in Africa Sir Hurry Johnston tells of a tribe In Venya, South .Africa, who wander among dense forests and game haunt-ed wilderness. "The tribe, the Ando-rob-reproduces In a most striking , ' manner the life which we may suppose to have been led by our far-awa- y an-cestors In the earliest Stone Ages," he says. "They lead. In fact, very much the life that the most primitive types of man led In Great Britain and France In the far back duys of big animals, pos-sibly before the coming of the glacial periods. "They live entirely by the chase, often consuming the flesh of birds and beasts uncooked. Though they com-mit considerable devastation among the game of the province, they are a picturesque feature when encoun-tered." Detroit News.

Yanks Hammer Out Most Home Runs During 1923 One of these tireless statisticians furnishes some dope on how, when and where home runs were hit In the ma-jors the past season. It appears that the Yankees not only made more home runs than any other team in the Amer-ican league, but also more circuit dilves were made In the New York than any other In the circuit. The short right and left field fences at New York made the home run wal-lop a simple trick. Each visiting team managed to hit at least one for the circuit In New York. The White Sox and Tigers failed to get a home run In Cleveland. The Ti-gers also fulled to connect for a homer In Washington. There were fewer home runs at Washington than any other park, as usually Is the case. Visiting teams at Fenway field in Boston made but thirteen homers. In New York the seven rivals calling on the Yunks drove out fifty home runs. Mystery in Turkey Name Tradition has It thut the first turkey was brought to England by .one of Cabot's chief lieutenants. This is supported by the fact that William Strickland, who accompanied Cabot on several of his voyages, adopted a turkey rampant s his crest on being granted arms In 1551. , Exactly how the turkey got his name is a mystery. Some authorities sug-gest that the bird christened Itself by constant reiteration of a sound that ' resembles "turk-tiirk-turk.- " The bird's succulent meat was so highly esteemed by Sixteenth century 'churchmen, that by Archbishop Crnn-mer'- s order, only "one dish of turkey cocks" wus permitted at feasts and banquets.
