Co WHITEWASH BALL Chance's Cubs Set a Pace for National League Clubs. The Record to Date of the Chi cago Team Is 39. HAVE NOT WON ALL. Brooklyn'Has Played in Thirty Seven and Won 17. Phillies Whitewashed by Cham pions the Gftener. St. Louis, Mo.. Sept. 6. Shutout games are iuite the correct thing- in the National league these days, ac cording to the fashion being set by the champions. Chance's Cubs have played three such jaraes in a row. The Cubs have come pretty close to setting a record for the number of shutouts played in one season by a major league club. Their record to date is thirty-nine. Of this total, twenty-nine have been won, leaving an even ten times when opposing teams have defeated the pennant win ners without allowing them a run. A grand total of 124 shutout games have been played in the league to date. Only one of all these remains undecided. That was the thirteen irming 0 to 0 tie played between New York and Brooklyn Monday. Chicago is well in the lead, both in the number of shutouts played and also In the number won. Brooklyn has played in thirty-seven of them, but has won only seventeen. St. Louis The "Ydl-0h" Man And One o! His Ways. To call a man a liar seems rude, so we will let the reader select his own term. Some time ago the manager of "Col lier's Weekly" got very cross with us because we would not continue to ad- J vertise in his paper. ' We have occasionally been attacked j by editors who have tried to force us to advertise in their papers at their own prices, and. on their own conditions, failinpr in which we were to be attack ed through their editorial columns. The reader can fit a name to that tribe. We had understood that the editor of "Collier's" was a wildcat of the Sin clair "Jungle bungle" type, a person with curdled gray matter, but It seems strange that the owners would descend to using their editorial columns, yellow as they are. for such rank out and out falsehoods as appear In their Issue of July 27th. where the editor goes out of his way to attack us. and the reason will appear tolerably clear to any read er who understands the venom be hind it. We quote in part as follows: "One widely circulated paragraph labors to induce the impression that Grape-Nuts will obviate the necessity of an opera tion In appendicitis. This Is lying, and, potentially, deadly lying. Similarly, Postum continually makes reference to the endorsements of 'a distinguished physician or a "prominent health offi cial,' persons as mythical doubtless, as they are mysterious." We do not hesitate to reproduce these mendacious falsehoods In order that it may be made clear to the public what the facts are. and to nail the lair up so that people may have a look at him. If this poor clown knew what produced appendicitis, he might have some knowledge of why the use of Grape-Nuts would prevent it. Let it be understood that appendicitis results from long continued disturbance in the Intestines, caused primarily by undi gested food, and chiefly by undigested starchy food, such as white bread, po tatoes, rice, partly cooked cereals, and such. These lie in the warmth and moisture of the bowels In an undigest ed state, and decay, generating gases, and irritating the mucous surfaces un til, under such conditions, the lower part of the colon and the appendix be come involved. Disease sets up, and frequently, of a form known as ap pendicitis. Now, then, Grape-Nuts food was made by Mr. C. W. Post, after he had an attack of appendicitis, and requir ed some food in which the starch was predigested. No such food existed: from his knowledge of dietetics he per fected the food: made it primarily for his own use. and afterwards intro duced It to the public. In this food the Etarch is transformed by moisture and long-time cooking into a form of sugar, which is easily digested and does not decay in the intestines. It is a practical certainty that when a man has approaching symptoms of appen dicitis, the attack can be avoided oy discontinuing all food except Grape- Nuts, and by properly washing out the intestines. Most physicians are now acquainted with the facts, and will verify the statement. Of course. . this Is all news, ana should be an education to the person who writes the editorials for "Col lier's." and who should. take at. least some training before he undertakes to write for the public. . - Now as to the references to "a dis tlnimixherl nhvsieian" or "a prominent health official" being "mythical per sons." We are here to wager "Col lier's Weekly," or any otner siceptic or liar, any amount or money tney care to name, and which they will cover, that we will produce proof to any Board of Investigators that we have never yet publlshea an advertisement announcing the opinion of a promi nent physician or health official on Postum or Grape-Nuts, when we did not have the actual letter In our pos session. It can be easily understood that many prominent physicians dis like to have their names made public in reference to any article whatsoever: they have their own reasons, and we respect those reasons, but we never make mention of endorsements unless we have th actual endorsement, and that statement we will back with any amount of monev called for. When a Journal wilfully prostitutes its columns, to try and harm a repu table manufacturer In an effort to force him to advertise. It Is time the public knew the facts. The owner or editor of Collier's Weekly can not force monev from us bv such methods. POSTUM CEREAL CO., Ltd. has played in thirty-six, but has won only fourteen. New lors, jrniiaaei phia and Pittsburg have each played twenty-nine. . The Giants won seven teen of theirs, the Phillies fourteen and the pirates eighteen, uincinnau has . played twenty-four and won seven. The Phillies have been white washed by the champions oftener than any other club in the league, the trick having been turned seven times. Boston and St. Louis have each tasted of the power of Chance's club In this way Ave times. Brooklyn, has been shut out four times. New York and Cincinnati three times each, and Pitts burg twice. Pat Donovan's Trolley Dodgers in Brooklyn have whitewashed the Cubs oftener than any other club of the league. They have "Chicagoed" three times. Pittsburg, New York and St. Louis each have two such victories over the west siders. Philadelphia has only one shutout against Chicago. Divided according to the scoring, the Cubs have won eight l-to-0 games, eight by the score of 2 to 0, two of 8 to 0, two of 4 to 0, five of 6 to 0, one of to 0. one of 7 to 0, one of 8 to 0 and one of 9 to 0, making a total of ninety-three runs tallied against tneir opponents in these contests. In the ten shutouts registered against the juds tnere have been nve or tne score of 1 to 0, two of 3 to 0, two of 6 to 0 and one of 9 to 0. In those ten games the opponents of the champions put only thirty-two runs over the counting station. DISAGREES WITHFmAYOR W. L. Taylor Says His Franchise Is Not Vague. W. L. Taylor, president of the Topeka-Southwestern, said today in speaking of the mayor's statement with reference to the franchise: "I don't think Mr. Green has quite the understanding of what we are asking for 'and I propose to ex plain to the council next Monday night before they take any action on our ordinance that all we want is the right of way in the city of Topeka. We don't want to build or operate any city railway. Topeka now has the best city railway system in the world but what we do want is to avail our selves of the privileges granted to in terurban cars in section 14 of the TO' peka City Railway company's ordm,' ance. We are not asking for a fran chise for any number of years but are simply asking for a right of way. I am perfectly willing to leave it all to the city council when they thoroughly understand it and I propose to tell them that if our ordinance is too vague, as the mayor expressed it, it contains the substance of what we want and we would be perfectly will ing to have them change the wording of it to protect the city in every way The people should not lose sight of the fact that those interested in the Topeka-Southwestern railway have got the interests of the city of Topeka at heart Just as much as the mayor or council, i "This railroad is a Topeka Commer cial club proposition and we don't want the council to bind the city-to anything that would be detrimental, but on the other hand we want a right of way into the city of Topeka so that we may build, maintain, and operate this rail road and I feel confident that when the council "understands Just exactly what we want there will not be a dis sentine vote when our ordinance Is voted upon." -J .. . ' N t x . Section 14 referred to by Mr. Tay lor is a section which refers to a traffic agreement between interurban com oanies entering the city of Topeka and the Topeka Railway company and reads as follows: . "Section 14. That the Topeka Rail way company shall permit the cars of any interurban electric railway to use its track or tracks from any connect ing point within said city on the lines of its railway to any designated ter minal within the limits of the city of Topeka for the purpose of carrying passengers and such commodities as are usually carried on lnterurDan elec tric cars, upon such conditions and for such consideration as shall be equit able, Just and reasonable, such terms to be agreed upon by said the Topeka Railway company and such- Interurban line. "The Topeka-Southwestern," said Mr. Tayolr, ."which will be a standard steam railway pro poses to operate ; electric motor cars for interurban service. Arrangements will be made so that the interurban company can issue transfers which will bo honored by the Topeka Railway company. In order for the Topeka Southwestern to Ret their interurban cars on the Topeka Railway company's tracks it will be necessary for them to build a short piece of track on Kansas avenue between Twentieth and Eigh teenth streets which will enable tho Southwestern interurban cars to come Into the city on their own tracks to Kansas avenue and then come to the transfer station on the City Railway company's tracks." UNIFORM CLASSIFICATION. Definite Action LookinR Towards Its Establishment lias Been Taken. Chicago, Sept. 6. Definite steps were taken at a meeting held here recently for the adoption by the railroads of uni form classification. This movement was taken in conformity with the wish of the interstate commerce commission, and to anticipate possible action by the commission along that line at its meet ing next month. The meeting was at tended by representatives of the east ern, southern and western railroads. Following a general discussion of the subject of uniform classification, the appointment of a standing committee was authorized, whose function it shall be to harmonize the various Interests and work out a feasible plan. This committee Is to consist of an equal representation of experts from the three divisions. .The roads are un animous in the belief that uniform clas sification is inevitable, and the rather listless drift in that direction which has been going on for a period of 25 years has been given impetus of late by the attitude of the interstate commerce commission, which has indicated its de sire to- see the uniform classification adopted. The question of classification has been a source of irritation, not only to the shippers, but to the various groups of railroads. Eastern roads maintained one classification and western roads an other, and all attempts in the past to harmonize them have proved unavail ing. .No basis of - agreement could be reached.

Canadian Northern line Is Making Exhaustive Tests of One. . St. Paul, Sept. 6. An : experiment is being: made by the Canadian North ern, which, if successful, will enable the satisfactory use of lignite coal in locomotives. It is a spark, arresting device that is looked upon as likely to achieve this result. Tests already made Indicate the complete success of the experiment, which will mean to Western railways a saving of vast sums annually in fuel, as North Da kota, and Alberta have practically in exhaustible deposits of lignite. Despite the fact that the device re ceived the hardest possible test under the forced draft, hardly a spark came from the stack. The spark arrester is used exclusively thus far in diamond-shaped stacks. It is in the form of two cones placed end to end about IVi feet long, running through the entire length of the tubes. 200 in all. through which the smoke and sparks from the furnace pass. The sparks, which are about the size of a pea and consist of unburned coal, in passing through the stack hit this ob struction five times, destroying any Ig nitable matter that may exist. Con sequently when the smoke reaches the outer air the sparks are completely extinguished and of no danger to the country through which the locomotive is passing. The device is expected to meet the approval of the Dominion Railroad Store of Dependable Merchandise.
