Many Baseball Parks Idle. ' The next question that arises Is this what to do with the bnll parks. If it wasn't that building is at a stand still In most cities because of the war, doubtless some of them would be cut up nnd sold for building lots. This much Is pretty certain: in cities that have two mnjor league parks there will be a getting together during the layoff period and arrangements made for Joint use of the most available park site after the resumption grunting, of course, that any city has two major league clubs alter the war.

BASEBALL BAT SAME AS SIXTY YEARS AGO Few Changes Have Been Made in Stick Used by Sluggers. Originally Decreed That It Should Be Made of Wood Not More Than Two and One-Half Inches In ' Diameter and Round. Ilnscbnll was referred to as bat ball in some communities In the early days of the national game. The modern baseball bat had its origin Just 59 years ago. March 0, 18."9, at a meeting of the fathers of baseball held In New York, It was decreed that the bat should be made of wood and hnve a diameter not to exceed 2b Inches and a length not greater than 42 Inches. In the years that have followed fewer changes have been made In the bat than In any other thing connected with the game. The provision as to length still stands, but since 185)5 the swatter has been permitted to use a slightly thicker bat. The early rulo that the bat be mnde of wood wasn't binding enough In the early days of professionalism, for some of the play ers sneaked In bats Into which holes had been made and filled with lead. The rulo of 1S."9 prescribed that the bat should be round, and this pro vision Is In effect today, although In the intervening yenrs there hnve been some variations. In the enrly eighties a four-sllod bat was Introduced and was Indorsed by the governing body of amateur players, but it didn't last long nnd wes never used by profes sionals. Later In the same decade lints made of so.'t wood and flat on one side were Introduced, to be used In bunting. This variety of bat gained the recognition of the National league, and was used In nearly nil profes sional circuits up to 1893, when It was discarded nnd outlawed. Prior to the adoption of the rule of 18."9 any old kind of stick was per missible In baseball. Kven flat bats were not barred and many star swat ters used Implements of prodigious size. It takes a real man to wield a henvy bat, say one that is five feet long nnd five Inches wide, but many if the old-timers did It. Those Vere the happy days for the "knockers." as batsmen were called In that period. UPS AND DOWNS OF SALARIES Pitcher Caldwell of New York Yankees Formerly Received $8,000, Now Gets $4,000.

FOR EACH OTHER'S SAKE. A grizzled Scotch banker In New York was bidding goodby to his son, a young lieutenant, ordered overeas. "Dad," said the boy, "you could give me something I'd 'rather have than $25,000." "What's happened to you, my boy, that a big bunch of money like thut seems a trifle?" "NothiuB. father, but there's a thing you could do that I'd rather have than all kinds of money." "And what might that fine thing be?" Then the young man with the single silver shoulder bar looked his gruff tender father straight In the face nnd said, as If lie meant It, "Dad, I wish you'd promise me to cut out the whis ky while I'm gone." Tho father bristled up. "Why, boy, you know I never take too much. You know how little I drink her at home, and I don't booze in business hours. What's got Into you, boy 7" But the boy persisted until the mnn snld, "Son, you're going Into tempta tions you never dreamed of over there. You'll need all the stiffening you can get to keep straight. I'll promise you to be prohibition If you'll promise mo not to forget your mother nnd your covenant vows." And father nnd son shook hands on it When the banker's friends down town see him refuse to Join them in a noon-dny cocktail or an evening high bnll, they wonder what hns come over him. He Is thinking of the lad who Is with Pershing, nnd he will keep fnith. There nre many Americnn fathers and mothers in these days who am living nearer to the level of their better selves, for the sake of the knightly sons who have embarked on the great adventure overseas. Tho Christian Advocate. ALCOHOL NOT A STIMULANT. Fifteen yenrs ago, it was believed by competent scientific authorities that alcohol to some extent stimulated resr plratlon becnuso it seemed to ennse an Increase In the volume of air pass ing through the lungs, Which was thought to Increase the absorption of oxygen. In the Interval. It has been learned thnt the mere mnnunt of air that goes Into and out of the lungs does not necessarily meiure Its value to the tissues nnd the cells where gnses nre exchanged. The air must not only pass Into the lungs, but It must get out Into the tissues beyond the "dead spnee" In the lungs. Some new careful experiments In the nutrl tlonnl laboratory of the Carnegie Insti tution of Washington, lately reported by Harold L. Hlgglns, show thnt after taking Into consideration nil the fac tors of respiration, alcohol, when given In a way to exclude other factors such as activity or tho digestion of food, In amounts of from one to one and one-half ounces, Indirectly acts upon respiration ns a depressant, not as a stimulant. There is not much, If any thing, left of the old stimulant theory, nnd It Is time that everybody stopped using tho term "stimulants" ns a syn onyra for alcohol. The Uulon Signal. BEER CRIMINOLOGY. A woman physlelnn, Dr.. Mary F. Cushmnn, of Maine, writes as follows: "If anything hns ever demonstrated the evil of beer drinking, It Is surely the present wnr. Yenrs ago, when specializing In mental and nervous diseases, I wns taught that alienist! had proved the crimes for which dis tilled liquors were responsible, are crimes of passion unpremeditated, and often a horror to the perpetrator when he recovers from the effects of his drink. The habitual use of malf liquors, however, so affects the moral sense ns to lend to deliberate crimes, carefully planned, coolly executed, without compunction or remorse, Germany, the great beer-drlnklng na tion, has simply illustrated this in a war conducted along the above lines of beer criminology. What does our nation want of the drink thnt makes men capable of the atrocities perpe trated by Germany?" HOW HE IS HANDICAPPED. The drinking man Is the first man to get sick, nnd the lust man to get well, says Rev. M. A. Lambing in tho Pittsburgh Observer. He Is the first man to lose bis friends and the last man to appreci ate them. He is the first man on the toboggan to poverty and tho lust mnn to get on his feet to find his wny out. He is the first man to get hit by accident and the last man to recover. He is the last man to get a Job nnd the first man to lose It. He Is the first man to die nnd the last man to provide for his fntnily. The Pioneer. WHY NOT? "Why don't the saloons put their finished product in their windows?

ADDITIONAL MATERIAL FOR rEACHERS Deuteronomy 9:18; Psalma MM; Luke 4:1-13; 111:41-48; Romans 7:14; 8: 14; II Timothy 4:2. The robbery and murder of Naboth Is one of the durkest of human deeds. Failure to recognize the righteousness of Naboth's position, and to master his own personul selfish desires, resulted In this durk deed. I. A Notable Example of the Tri umph of Evil (I Kings 21:1-20). 1. Ahab's covetousness (vv. 1-0). Near tho king's palace lay a plot of ground belonging to a simple farmer which Ahnb selfishly longer for. Na both, loyal to the law of God and exer cising his personal rights, refused to part with It, though the king offered him what It was worth, or even a bet ter ope in exchange. With Naboth it was not a matter of money value, but of loyalty to God and his fathers. It doubtless would have been gain to him to have complied with Ahab's desire, for he offered Its worth In money, or a better one In exchange. Naboth put principle before worldly gain, or even a reputation with the king. Ahnb In stead of conquering his selfishness sulkily refused to eat. 2. Jezebel's wicked plot (vv. 5-10.) AN ben she found Ahab pouting she took matters Into her own hands. (1) She taunted Ahub (v. 7). A weak man cannot stand t) be taunted, especially by a woman. (2) A mock trial given (vv. 8-13). The charge mnde aguinst Naboth was false. They played the hypocrite. His death was secured un der the pretense of Justice. Jezebel desired Naboth out of the way, so she secured false witnesses against him. (3) He was stoned to death (v. 13). (4) Jezebel Informs Ahab of Nuboth'i death, and Instructs him to take pos session of the vineyard (vv. 14-10). 3. The doom announced (vv. 17-20). (1) By whom Elljnh (vv. 17, 18). At the command of the Lord, Elijah, who had fled from Jezebel, goes to meet the king ns he entered upon the possession of Naboth's vineyard. He went to take possession but could not God always finds' a man to bring to the sinner the fruit of his wrongdoing. (2) What U was (W. 10-2G). (a) A rtinmeful death (v. 19). The dog9 were to lick his blood In the place where they licked the blood of Na both. There Is a retributive Justice In the Judgments which God metes out to sinners. "Whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also renp" (Gal. 0:7). Jezebel wns to share a like fate. The sinner should be assured that his sin will find him out. (b) Obliteration of posterity (vv. 21, 22). It was best that the children of such a man should bo cut off so that there might be an end to such a wicked dynasty. It would seem that the world has now come to such a state as this. The dy nasty which Is responsible for the blood nnd sorrow of the world nt this time would better end nnd its poster lty be obliterated from the earth. 4. Ahnb's repentance (vv. 27-29). Through his humiliation he gnined a respite from Judgment. God allowed him to go for awhile before he permit ted the judgment to full upon him. A few years later he was slain in the battle of Itnmotk-Gllend (chaptei 22:37). II. How to Overcome Evil (Eph. 11:18). 1. By' separation from It (v. 11). The only way to overcome evil Is to refuse fellowship with It, to withdraw from It. Lot, who had entered into fellow ship with the Sodomites, was overtaken with disaster; but Abraham, who wa separated from It, was able to deliver him. 2. By reproof (v. 11). It is not enough to merely refrain from prac ticing evil. No neutral position is pos sible. There must be victory over it ; it must be defeated. Antagonism of tho evil Is necessary. 3. By watchfulness (v. 14). Living In the light of Christ Is nec essary in order to overcome evil. De ception Is on every hand. 4. By a circumspect walk (vv. 15, 10). Pitfalls are all about us. To walk without looking about us is most fool ish, because the evfl one is on the alert, doing his best to cuuse us to stumble. 5. By a sober life (v. 18). 0. By being filled with the noly Spirit (v. 18). Those who would overcome evil must abstain from Intoxicating liquors nnd all the influences of the world which unduly excite. The Spirit-filled believer has the wis dom and power to overcome. Self-Discipline Needed. There Is always the self-discipline needed to correct errors of the Im agination or of the will; and, nt the same time, at no period of life ore we incapable of the Insinrutlons ,of de voted love, though, as-we advance In sclf-dtsclpllne and moral effort, we be come the more fitted to receive the higher gifts of grnoe. The supernatural power of conformity with the all-holy will of God, in the love nnd obedience nf Jesus Christ, finds Its true support In morul virtue. T. T. Carter. Inspirations From the Bible. ' I use tho Scriptures, not as an aft sennl to be resorted to only for nrnis nnd wenpons, but as a matchless tem ple, where I delight to contemplate the beauty, tho . symmetry, nnd the magnificence of the structure, and to Increase my awe and excite my devo tion to the deity there preached and adored. Boyle. Who Is On the Lord's Side? By REV. J. H. RALSTON, D. D. Secretary ol Correspondent: Dapsrtmtnt, Moody Bibls institute, Chicago TEXT Whoso fa on Jehovah's side lei him come unto me. R. V. It Is related that nt a'certaln point Id Lincoln's presidential experience, when the affairs of the Union were In a precarious con dition, a friend remarked to hiro that It was d good thing U have the Lord ot our side. Mr Lincoln very se rlously replied that he was more concerned aboul whether he wer on the Lord'i side. There arr Indications that I ' out I a lm ntl in HUM C Y.i'aa cerned on having the Lord on hli side than ubout being on the Lord'i side. The nnturnl tendency of mnn la tr seek his own or the things of human lty, rather than the things of tho Lord and man Is simply asking what some particular course will bring to him, oi what It will bring to his .time. The chief end of man In these days Is nol to glorify God. In this, grievous wrong Is done. When a course of action li before one, the chief question should not be, "How will it affect me?" nor. indeed, "How will It affect my neigh bur?" but "How will It affect God?" . The great need of the day Is a new sensing of God God nt the'beglnning. God In the middle, God nt the ending. The right thing for man Is to ask where God Is, and to go where he Is If man would do thnt many of hl9 grent theological questions would be settled. God manifests hlmsell through his Word, nnd If men would go to the Word of God with these questions they would soon be suhstnn tlally correct on all of them. The text suggests the question, "Whc Is on the Lord's side?" or rather "What man or woman has a right tc sny thnt he Is on the Lord's side?" In the particular case before us, the people had made a golden calf and were worshiping It. To do that was to break the first two commandments of the Decalogue, and It became open Idolatry. It Is Inevitable thnt a man worship. If he does not worship God he will worship some thing, or some one else. Nor can a mnn be on the Lord's side If he does those things that the Lord hates. If a man would know his duty to the' Lord be should seek to know what the Lord thinks of certain things, nnd here again he must take the Lord's Judg ment through his Word, for he ennnot know what the Lord thinks unless he knows his Word. As to particular ac tions, a man mny be left to bis own judgment, but ns to the great princi ples that He at the root of things, the Lord makes clear declaration in his Word. Does the Lord love a Uur, bru tality, deception? The remnant of God's Image In man says at once, "Nol Nol" Does the Lord favor truth, lib erty, kindness? Thnt same remnant of God's lmnge says, "Yes I Yes !" And consequently, the duty is clear, and- he should stand for these things. We might sum up everything by saying, "Ye cannot' serve God and mammon." The scene connected with our texl was probably this: There was a golden calf and people were dancing about It. Moses stood aloof nnd made the cry, "Whoso Is on the Lord's side, let him come to me." Ac cording to the constitution and nature of mnn we mnke appeals to him as to his conscience, to his sense of duty or privilege, nnd he must make choice. What Is it to be on the Lord's side? It is a natural Inheritance from our sinning first parents that we will either be Indifferent to God's commands of we will positively refuse to obey them. Fundamentally, the issue Is the same. In the ense before us, tho wor shiper of the golden calf either con tinued his dancing and worship, or Just endeavored to be neutral. A man must "come across ;" ho must take a positive stand. The position of a neu tral is the position of the enemy of God. There are no neutrals In our country now as to Germany. Political ly we were neutral until the president said that a state of war existed, but now the neutral Is a pro-German. We must be out and out for the United States of America. A man's religious obligations could be Illustrated by tak ing the two sides of an Imaginary line, and to an lmnglnnry line there can be only two sides. It Is one thing or It IS the other. We must be positively, clearly, professionally on God's side, or we nre against him, In the day In which we nre living the Ideals and mo tives are to be more sharply defined than In former days. An eloquent mnn said very recently that heretofore men were living tp make money, and now they nre dying to preserve righteousness, a tremen dous reversal of form. Precisely so of a man's actions; if their character Is to be determined by whether they are right In the sight of God rather than whether they have been person- L ally or socially beneficial, man will ar rive at the realization or tne purpose of God and at the realization of his own greatest hnpplness. Love of Truth. The love of the truth Is the grent engraver of the divine on the mind. It hacks away, prejudice, bigotry, un ehnrltableness nnd error. It lifts the soul above the petty things of the world and supplies a reservoir of Joy thnt when paying the price of devotion to Jruth becomes a perennial source of strength. The love of truth Is the surest sign of Christian faith. With out It all professions nre vain. With It no torch wns ever lighted thnt can extinguish Its gnln. The love of truth makes the martyr's stake an altar of triumph, nnd even the poor nre ina l rich by It. ff iffe Health Was Shattered South Boston Woman Tells How She Suffered Before Doan's Cured Her, 1 was in awful shape tnm lid...
