SCHMIDT OF PIRATES
STAR OF MANY YEARS
Backstop Receives Few Plaudits,
but Plays Great Game.
Pittsburgher Is Remarkable Thrower
and Is One of the Fastest Catchers
in National League Surpasses
Klllifer.
Publicity Is given to many star ball
players in the National league, but
there are also msnv "-at athletes who
jitlVlilH, ' - -'tin
Walter Schmidt.
are overlooked. One of them is
Catcher Schmidt, who is with the Pitts
burgh club. He has been a star in the
National league for several seasons,
but little has been heard about his true
ability. Ball players of inferior skill
have received more attention than he
has because they are given to sensa
tionalism on the field, while Schmidt
contents himself with playing steadily
and the easiest way he knows how,
writes Oscar Reichow in the Chicago
News.
Schmidt Is much like Charley Deal
of the Cubs. These two men are bril
liant ball players and rank with the
best. Yet they are not boosted to the
skies like Eddie Roush, Rogers Horns-
by, Heinle Groh, Walter Maranville,
Max Carey, Charlie Hollocher, Bill Kil-
lifer and Grover Alexander. All these.
players deserve to be praised becausf
they possess merit of an unusual de
gree. It is doubtful, though, if avi
one is more proficient at his position
than Schmidt and Deal are at theh-s.
Deal goes along day in and day out
playing the same steady brand of base
ball. He does not do acrobatic feats
in making stops of hot grounders at
does Helnie Groh, but gets in front
of the mad hoppers with ease and
grace because he is an excellent judge
of a batted ball and plays accordingly.
Schmidt is not only possessed of real
baseball Intelligence, but he is a re
markable thrower, plays the game
with a great deal of Intuition, has a
wonderful arm and is the fastest back
stop in the league. Considering his
throwing ability, speed and hitting, it
would not be unfair to say that he is
now the topnotch catcher of them all
He surpasses Killefer in all those de
partments, which is something that
demands consideration. The latter,
because of his experience, his-smartness
behind the plate and in handling
pitchers, is still regarded as the leader.

ULTRT
TUBERCULOSIS CAUSES LOSS
Insidious Manner of Attack of Disease
Makes It Most Difficult
to Detect.
(Prepared by tb.e United States Department
of Agriculture.)
Tuberculosis of fowls is more widely
distributed over the United States than
is generally supposed. It is especially
destructive to fiocks in the North and
West. The course of the disease is
slow, symptoms are apparent only in
the late stages, and the mortality is
high. The danger to man. however, is
slight, especially since cooking the
flesh of fowls destroys tho tunercular
bacilli. Treatment of fowls affected
is declared to be useless, but the dis
ease may be stamped out by method:
described in Farmers' Bulletin 1200,
which may be had upon application t
the division i of publications, Dnlted
States Department of Agriculture.
Of all domesticated birds the fowl
shows by far the highest mortality
fimr tuberculosis. The disease has
spread so extensively in some states
as to cause very serious losses to the
poultry industry. The insidious man
ner of attaek makes it most difficult to
combat, because affected birds show no
visible symptoms until the disease
processes are far advanced, and in
the meantime it has been communicated
to others of the flock.
Avian tuberculosis, as it is some
times called, is caused by a micro
organism closely resembling the ba
cilll of human and bovine tuberculosis
While, primarily, it affects birds. It
may also attack other animals. Pigs
exposed to tuberculous flocks fre
pjently are affected, and display lo
calized tubercles in the Jymph glands
of the head, neck and mesenterv. Rats
and mice also may contract the dis
ease naturally. Bacilli of the avian
type have been found in tuberculous
persons. The principal danger to hu
mans is in eating eggs from tubercu
lous fowls, as eggs may be infected
with the bacilli ; however, as man Is
considered quite resistant to the avian
type of tubercle bacilli, the chances of
nfection are doubtless slicrht.
Tuberculosis may be introduced op a
farm in several ways such as receiving
Infected fowls, exposure to neighbor
ing Infected flocks using the same
wmmm
neaitny Fiock or Fowls.
range, infection of premises by free
flying birds, carriers, such as man or
animals, whose shoes or feet may car
ry Infected droppings from nearby in
fected farms. Most egsrs harboring the
organism fail to hatch, thereby re
ducing to a minimum the danger of
Infection from this source, but if in
fected eggs are thrown to the fowls the
disease may be established In the flock.
One of the first symptoms is gradual
emaciation, which becomes especially
noticeable in the breast muscles.
These diminish in size until In ad
vanced stages there is scarcely any
flesh left on the breast bone. Feeling
the breast region will readily detect
this wasting. The appetite continues
trood. Lameness in one or both legs,
or drooping of one or both wings Is
mother symptom.
The bulletin mentioned describes
these and other symptoms at length.
paleness of comb, wattles, skin on the
head and about the eyes is evidence of
the last stages. A skilled operator can
apply the intradermic tuberculin test
to detect the presence of the disease
but medical treatment, for fowls is fu
tile. Preventive measures, the most
usual being slaughtering, are the
widest. Fowls in gbd flesh may . be
used for food If they show no lesions
or only slight ones. Those fowls that
tfre badly diseased and all visceral or
gans should be burned. The premises
should be disinfected thoroughly, in
cluding all drinking, eating and other
utensils.
SUPERIOR LICE KILLER
For kerosene emulsion take
two gallons of kerosene, one gal
lon of water, one pound of bar
soap and one pint of prude car
bolic acid. Boil the soap in wa
ter until dissolved, remove from
the fire and while the water Is
boiling hot add the kerosene and
acid, churning with a spray
pump for ten minutes, and then
add six gallons of hot water,
stirring well. Apply en walls,

YOU CAN'T TRUST
CALOMEL AT ALL
It's Quicksilver, Salivates, Causes
Rheumatism and Bone
Decay.
The next dose of calomel you take
may salivate you. It may shock your
liver or start bone necrosis. Calomel
is dangerous. It is mercury, quicksil
ver. It crashes into sour bile like
dynamite, cramping and sickening you. j
Calomel attacks the bones and should I
never be put into your system.
If you feel bilious, headachy, constl- I
pated and all knocked out, just go to j
son's Liver Tone for a few cents which
is a harmless vegetable substitute for
dangerous calomel. Take a spoonful
and if it doesn't start your liver and
straighten you up better and quicker
than nasty calomel and without making
you sick, you just go back and get your
money.
Don't take calomel! It can not be
trusted any more than a Jeopard or a
wild-cat. Take Dodson's Ltyer Tone
which straightens you right up and
makes you feel fine. No salts neces
sary. Oive it to the children because
it is perfectly harmless and can not
salivate. Advertisement.

Promptly at eight he arrived.
"Jack," she breathed, "I am so wor

"No!" returned Jack, determinedly.
"You must choose between us he

with a last look of love, Malvina
threw her Pomeranian, Bob, out of the
