What IVe Say li Is, i! is
You Buy Service
When you buy a watch
von buy service—valuable
service—for time is money
in tlie business world and
the man who has no "watch
handicaps himself un
justly.
The service a good watch
renders you gains for you
in actual dollars and cents
many times the-cost of the
watch. If that were not
a fact, watches would still
be luxuries and only the
wealthy would buy them.
A watch is necessary to
men and women who make
the most of their time. If
you are not an idler, you
need a godd watch. Here
are two Diener Specials in
good watches:
A 16 size 7-jewel El
gin movement in an

A 17-jewel Hamilton

PITCHING THE SPITBALL
Collins Says There Is Only One Real
Master, Ed Walsh
In the American Magazine Eddie Col '
lins of the Philadelphia Athletics!
writes about "Pitchers I Have Faced."|
Following is a part of what he has to \
say about Eddie Walsh, whom he re j
yards as the best spitball pitcher: i
"Walsh is the only real master of I
the spitball I know of. He was the!
first absolutely to perfect and control
it. Most spitball pitchers arc wild, |
and they'have trouble especially to |
make their spitter a strike and usually j
have to resort to the fast one. but not |
Walsh. Many times 1 have seen him |
give a batter three balls and no strikes, i
and then three spitters would go swish- '
iug across the plate knee high, and the j
battor would sit down. Walsh invari-|
ably aims his spitter at one spot on a !
batter—namely, between the waist and |
the knees. I have never seen a good j
spitter that broke above the waist.
"Walsh was not a pitcher 1 dreaded
to hit against, because it was never a j
battle of wits. You always knew what]
to look for —the spitter. It was sure |
to be in the same place—waist to shoe j
tops—and it was not like the spitters|
of some pitchers, at your head one min- j
lite and at your feet the next. In
spite of this it was mighty hard to hit j
safely. Although there was almost a 1
foot break on Walsh's spitball, Sulli
van, who always caught him, said lie!
could do it sitting in a rocking chair,
his control was so perfect."
The Fattest Race
How is it that the Danes as a race j
are fat? Professor Lyde states that
"from one end of Denmark to tike
other you will not find a really thin i
mail.'' And he gives rather a quaint
reason for it " The growth of dairy |
fanning in Denmark tends to make men |
lazy. The private houses adjoin the j
byres, which are kept at a uniformly I
warm temperature, and the people are j
employed in warm buildings, living j
chiefly oil milk and cereals. The men
get so lazy that they will not take
the trouble to cut up their food.")
And then comes this delightful eonclu-'
sion: "This state of things has pro ]
duced a nation of housewives who ex- |
eel all others in varieties of sand- j
wiches, which can be munched all day j
long.'' And thus is produced the fat \
test race in Europe, and we get a hint j
for a real rest cure.—(Manchester Guar i
dian.
Where o'Conn ell Fought
Arrangements liave recently been
completed by which the Karl of Clon
moll has disposed of his Irish estates,
the transference of property including
the residence of Bishops Court, tra
ditionally the birthplace of fox hunt
ing in Ireland, together with the ex
tensive stud farm there, and the his
toric Hill of Aughterard, with its an
cient and picturesque round lower. It
was on this hill that the famous duel
betwecu Daniel O'Council and D'Es
terrc was fought, in which O'Connell
shot D'Esterre.
Smokeless Powder Visible
An important discovery lias been
made bv the bureau of ordnance of the
navy department as a result of a series
of experiments and investigations
which have been conducted by order
of Bear Admiral Strauss. A certain
color of glass lias been found to serve
the purpose of rendering visible the
smoke from the "smokeless" powder
discharge of a rifle.—Army and Navy
Register.
His Part in the Drama
Two women who claimed .the same
man as a husfband were airing their
troubles in court.
"Who's the skinny fellow over
there?" asked a visitor
"He's the bono of contention,"
chuckled the court attendant.
"Doesn't the glory of the sunset fill
your mind with thoughts that it would
be difficult to utter?"
"I don't know; it does make me
think of the red flannel underwear
father used to wear."—Houston Post.
BIFOCAL LENSES
They Had Their Origin in Ben Frank
lin's Double Glasses
Everybody who uses 'bifocal glasses
probably wonders where the idea orig
inally came from. Bifocal glasses are
the kind that possess two separate
lenses cemented together so that by
looking in the upper part one can see
at a great distance and by looking
through the lower half one can read.
Most authorities are inclined to give
Benjamin Franklin credit for the inven
tion. He was, so the story goes, an in
veterate reader and could not use his
reading glasses when lopking any dis
tance ihiwav.
Finally the notion came to him that
he could eoniibino his glasses, ,>nd he
thereupon . had the lenses ci>t Sh half
and one-half of each lens placed in the
rim of each spectacle rim. The result
was that a single pair of glasses was
sutlicient, though present day oculists
state that the sharply-drawn line must
have affected his eyes.
From this idea the oculists gradually
developed a glass in which the lower
part was arranged for reading and the
upper part for long-distance vision,
while the annoying "marking line"
was eliminated. —Washington Star.
London Full of Confidence Men
Ixinldon has never before harbored so
many skilled exponents of the confi
dence trick in all its guises than at the
present time. Indeed, the invasion of
foreign confidence tricksters alone has
become so serious that the Scotland
Yard detectives stationed in the west
end are organizing a new and drastic
campaign against the fraternity. An
Englishman and an Irishman working
together in partnership under various
aliases still hold the recoitd as the most
consistently successful tricksters in
London, and despite all the efforts of
the police they have been making in
comes believed to run into several thou
sands of pounds.— London Express.
'Twould take the average man albout
three days to do all the things he ex
perts to accomplish to-morrow.
ECZEMA IN
PIMPLES ON EACE
Caused Disfigurement. Itched and
Burned. Used Cuticura Soap and
Ointment. In Three Weeks En
tirely Free From Eczema,
78 N. 2nd St., Stroudsburg, Pa.—"My
trouble began with a very small eruption
on my fare whlrb looked like small pimples.
It later took the form of eczema and caused
disfigurement. The pimpled itched and
burned so badly that I scratched them and
they became very bad sores,
" I used everything Imaginable but noth
ing did any good until I used Cuticura Soap
and Ointment. I found relief at once. Then
I bought some Cuticura Soap and a box of
CuMcura Ointment and in less than three
weeks was entirely free from the eciema."

about two months old when rough spots
broke out on his face and hand*. They
first started with llttlo pimple* which would
give large spots rough and inflamed. Ic
Itched at time* and would get very sore.
He was very cross and restless. It had lasted
for about six months when I tried Cuticura
Hoap and Ointment. His face was very
much disfigured and they promptly re
lieved him. Now bis skin is perfectly
clear." (Signed) Mrs. William Arnold,
