The Yankees were last returned a p'ennant win ner in 1928 and the Cubs in 1929. In the 28 series played from 1903 to 1931, inclusive, the American League has won 17.

He had left a good trade among people who knew him and trusted him—and for what? To become a wandering preacher, talking to folks who never heard of him? And what was he to talk about? How, with his lack of ex perience, should he find words for his message? Where should he be- i ‘gin? Who would listen? Would they listen? Hadn’t he perhaps made a mistake? Satan, says the narrative, tempted him, saying: “You are hungry; here are stones. Make them into bread.”—The temptation of material success. It was entirely unnecessary for him to be hungry ever. He had a good trade; he knew well enough that his organizing ability was better than Joseph’s. He could build up a far more successful business and acquire comfort and wealth. Why not? Satan comes in again, according to the narrative, taking him up into a high mountain and showing him the kingdoms of the world. “All these can be yours, if you will only compromise.” He could go to Jerusalem and enter the priesthood; that was a sure road to distinction. He could do good in that way, and have the satisfaction cf success as well. Or he might enter the pubulic service, an<jl -seek political leadership. There was plenty of discontent to be capitalized, and he knew the far mer and the laborer; he was one of them; they would listen to him. For forty days and nights the incessant fight went on but, once settled, it was settled forever. In the calm of that wilderness there came the majestic conviction which is the very soul of leadership— the faith that his spirit was linked with the Eternal, that God had sent him into the world to do a woVk which no one else could do, which—if he neglected it—would never be done. / . / Magnify this temptation scene as greatly as you will; say that God spokl more clearly to Jesiis than to any who has ever lived. It is 'true. But to every man of vision the clear Voice speaks; there is no great leadership where there is not a mystic. Nothing splendid has ever been achieved except by those who dared believe that something inside themselves was superior to circumstances. To choose the sure thing is treason to the soul ... If this was not the meaning of the forty days in the wilderness, if Jesus did not have a real temptation which might have ended in his go ing back to the bench at Nazareth, then the forty days’ struggle has no real significance to us. But' the temptation was real, and he con quered. The youth who had been a carpenter stayed in the wilderness, a man came out. Not the full-fledged master who, within the shadow of the cross could cry, “I have overcome the world.” He had still much growth to make, much progress in vision and self-confidence. But the beginnings were there. Men who looked upon him from that hour felt the authority of one who has put his spiritual house in order, and knows clearly what he is about. The Newark Bears are making a run-away race of it in the Inter national League. Fans are inquir ing whether Newark is setting some new record. Back in 1920, the Baltimore Orioles won the pennant with a .719 average and the next year they repeated at .717 and these marks still stand as the highest ever made by a Class AA club. In a game the other day between the Chicago Cubs and Philadelphia, the Chicago players were credited with but one assist during the nine innings which establishes a new National League record. * In a game between Cleveland and Washington the other day the first Cleveland batter up slammed out a hit. Not another Cleveland play er got a hit during the game. Big Fred Marberry was the pitcher for Washington. Columbia football players are practising. Columbia should have a strong team this year. Bobby Olds, of Lansing, Mich., who is winning so much attention as a trap-shooter is but 17 years old and is a farm boy. By defeating Wilmer Allison and John Van Ryn, 1931 national ten nis doubles title holders, Gledhill and H. Ellsworth Vines, Jr., both of California, won the 1932 championship. This possibly indicates a new 1933 Davis cup iine-up. 666 LIQUID - TABLETS - SALVE Checks Malaria in 3 days, Colds first day, Headaches or Neuralgia in 30 minutes. 666 SALVE for HEAD COLDS Most Speedy Remedies Known What About The Calories In That Reducing Diet?

My client should have sold it for cream.” OCR QUEST OF TRUTH How many times we have pounced upon supposed truths,—only to find out, after more exhaustive study and experiment—that we were wrong I For instance: I have preached lor years that, the pine-smoker may bring'himself a lip-cancer by long frequent massage with a pipe-stem. Now, a careful thinker observes that tobacco has little influence in causing cancer; in other words, any other sort of stick wnuld cause cancer of the lip just as quickly, used in the s$me way. No, mama. I’m not trying to encourage the use of tobacco; I’m just telling Grand-dad not to chew any sort of stick as a habit. It is known that an exposed corset-stay may bring to light a can cer of the breast, same. Coleslaw—That new maid is cer tainly quiet. One would never know that she was about the place. Mrs. C.—She isn’t. She left this morning. Gassaway—Did you rescue your poor friend who was captured by cannibals? Blowhard—Unfortunately, when I arrived he had already been scratched off the menu. Eusebia—Let us sit nearer the music. Curtis—But then you can’t hear what I’m saying to you. Eusebia—Yes, I know. Come No tobacco about that, but it is a villain, just the alon £ And, a fine medical writer tells us that blood-pressure is not per manently made worse by tea or coffee or even salt. That more folks die from lack of chlorides than from excess of them. That the IN- •TELLIGENT use of these things never does harm. Another thing we learn: If indisposed, go at once to your good family physician; don’t seek him as a last resort, but as a very first and test aid in trouble. It will pay you. * We know now that meats are not “deadly poison” to the human organism. To be a “vegetarian” is to be a faddist—and, all faddists are skating on thin ice. Nevertheless a finicky, evanescent public will do as it pleases, with my full consent. 1 One of my own very satisfactory conclusions is, good common horse Isense is a qualification to be proud of. , rfHE MESSENGER DOESI HIGH GRADE COMMERCIAL PRINTING (*T REASONABLE PRICES. SEND US YOUR NEXT ORDER. Nitt—In Europe, they are now sending milk by airplane. Witt—Yes, they say you can get it from either Cannes or Cowes. x A British Columbia dairy firm has established a market for milk in Hong Kong. The milk is ship ped regularly in refrigerator space and is finding a ready sale among the European residents. 1 xi Soap in very hot water is prob ably much more fatal to bacteria than soap used in warm water, a British physician states. x Two chairs of aviation education have been endowed at the Univers ity of Southern California. Vim, vigor, and vitality—who does not long for the tripla com bination? .It bespeaks health and happiness to the “nth” degree. No longer does milady admire the wasp-rlipe thinness of a few years ago; neither will she tolerate the tired groggy feeling that comes with over eating and with lessened exercise. Instead, she watches her diet carefully, and hies herself to the out-of-doors to enjoy the pleas ures of her favorite sport. When she returns she may be hungry but even then her thoughts turn more than lightly to her diet, especially if she is trying to elim inate the new extra pounds which came during the winter months of lessened activity. She needs en ergy—a starvation diet is out of the question for she knows such a diet plays havoc with health and ruins an otherwise good disposition. Mil ady is sensible and she regards a Keith |reducing diet with common sense. Calories in the Reducing Diet “Calories,” she repeats to herself, for she has heard that certain foods contain many heat units, and these are designated as calories. But milady is not content with “hear say,” she inquires into the best scientific knowledge available and plans her diet accordingly, re gardless of what others have done. Her health is too valuable to risk with a one-sided diet, she wants a balanced diet, one that will lend pep for all her activities. Value of Meat in Calories “What about meat?” she asks herself as she investigates further. Lean meat does not have a high caloric value. • From Dr. James McLester, of the University of Ala bama and one of the foremost au thorities on nutrition, she learns that a large serving of lean round steak furnishes only 100 calories, likewise a serving of roast lamb or a large serving of veal contain only 100 calories. Consequently, milady includes liberal amounts of lean meat in her diet. High Quality Protein is Necessary Little does she realize that she': ; s doing herself a big favor when she includes meat in her diet, for a high quality protein is even more important in the reducing than in normal diet. The object in the reducing diet is to force the body to burn its own fat without a loss in the body protein. Milady reads further in Dr. Mc- Lester’s book, “Nutrition and Diet in Health and Disease.” “I have been impressed by the anemia shown by many patients who, from necessity or from a de sire to become fashionably thin, have subjected themselves to rigid dietary restriction. Animal ex- peripientation has proved that a diet which contains a liberal amount of meat is the best blood builder, and one wonders whether an optimum protein intake is not after all, good insurance against disease. Clinical experience shows that it is.” Meat Has High Satiety Value Some foods satisfy the appetite. Milady realizes that after eating some foods, she feels “all fagged out” by the middle of the after noon and pangs of hunger grip her at intermittent intervals. Again she tries a different kind of meal, one including meat but of the same caloric value, and she misses the all-gone feeling and is able to view the world through rose-colored glasses. She little realizes that there is a scientific as well as psychological reason for this feel ing of well-being. Meat “sticks to the ribs” and produces a pleasant sensation much longer than do those foods which are digested quickly, according to the National Live Stock and Meat Board. ^ -O O- -o o- -o We are prepared to do various kinds of job printing neatly and promptly and solicit your orders for —Ruled Letterheads < —Typewriter Letterheads —Noteheads —Billheads —Statements —Envelopes k • —Posters 0 —Circular Letters —Folders —Business Cards ‘ • 1 —Visiting Cards —Special Invoices —Day Books j • —Receipt Books —Tally Sheets • \ —Lumber Tallies —Notes / ! ‘ • # " * —Chattel Mortgages —Crop Mortgages —Trespass Notices —Salesbooks And many other special forms of printing or rule work.
