JOHN BULL'S TASTE FOR BEEF IS DYING >L The traditional alliance between England and beef seems to be wearing a little thin, says Answers. It was recently stated that less beef was being eaten in this country, and the statement was backed up by de- tails of the amount of beef consumed by each customer in certain represen- tative hotels in 1925 and 1929. Ac- cording to these, the amount of beef \eaten appears to have been about one- Inhird less last year than in 1925. This tendency is rather a serious e, if we are to accept the opinion of some of the old historians. They believed that the secret of English successes in the wars of the Middle Ages lay in "the great shins of beef" on which Englishmen fed. In our .own day, contrary idea is sometimes found at too much beef dulls the wit lthe famous Beef- steak clubs Prof the 'eighteenth and nineteenth centuries numbered some of the cleverest men 9f the time a- mong their numbers. i n WAS RUN DOWN AND 'ERY WEAK Too Little Blood the Trouble and Tonic Treatment Restored Hjealth. "I am writing to tell' you," says Mrs. James A. Haughn, Bridgewater, N. ,S„ "the great health benefit I re- ceived through the use of Dr. Wil- liams' Pink Pills. I had become badly run down and very weak; so much so that I could only with difficulty do any housework. I suffered from head- aches, and had very little desire for meals. The trouble affected my nerves, and as a result I did not sleep well at night; and would often awake with a choking sensation, and would lhave to sit up in bed. I was taking treatment, but it did not help 'me and I was losing courage, when I saw an advertisement of a case which seem- ed much like my own, which had been relieved by the use of Dr. Wil- liams' Pink Pills. I decided to give this medicine a trial and got two boxes. Before these were all gone there was an improvement in my ap- petite, which seemed a hopeful sign. I procured a further supply of the pills and found a steady improvement in my health. I could eat well, sleep soundly at night and my housework was no longer a task beyond my strength. From my own experience I would advise weak, run-down peo- ple to give Dr. Williams' Pink Pills a fair trial, feeling that what they lave done for me, they will just as readily do in other similar cases." If you will send your name and ad- dress to the Dr. Williams' Medicine - Co., Brockville, Ont., a little book, 'Building up the Blood," will be nail- ed you prepaid. This little book con- tains many useful health hints. You can get these pills through any medicine dealer or by mail att 50e a box from The Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont. HOUSEHOLD DISCOVERIES Knitted Sweaters. k. When knitting children's sweaters, if you knit square patches out of the same woi51 and sew inside of the sweater sleeves, at elbow you will find that will protect the sleeves and they will wear much longer. When washing delicate china and glasses, put a towel in the bottom of the pan. This will prevent them from being capped or cracked. To Remove Stains and Grease From Stove. To one tablespoon of lye, add one cup of boiling water, stir with stick to dissolve. Put an old piece of rag on stick and dip in lye rub it over top of stove and keep repeating until all stains and grease are removed. Polish with dry cloth and you will find stove looks like new. When the knobs come off pot lids or the kettle, put a screw about an inch long, through from the under side and put a cork on the end. This makes a very good handle, Children's mitts can be made from men's old socks. Cut a pattern from an old mitt and leave the cuff of the sock for the cuff of the mitt—sew round on the machine and overcast edges. Worn Gloves. When black kid gloves become grey on the finger-tips, from wear, apply a; little liquid shoe blacking and they will stay black and gloves will look as good as new again. is Water can be stirred is as it is heat* ed. Wat3hing Han o kerchiefs; Place all bandit 11i..efs in cold' water, acid a few soap chiips also One- half teaspoon of ammonia and a tea- spoon of coal oil, Boil fa 20 min- utes, then all that is needed is a good rinse and blue, unless badly soiled. To prolong the life of small caret rugs and prevent them curling, line with canvas. Potato bags can be washed and used. Painting Hint. The inconvenience and annoyance, caused by dropping paint when paint- ing overhead, oan be prevented by splitting a child's rubber ball in two, cutting a small hole in one half and slip over the handle of the brush, thus forming a cup to catch the drips of paint.

FOUND HIS• PLEASURE IN POISONING PEOPLE We have recently made the ac- quaintance, through the medium of the American newspapers of one of the most revolting scoundrels who has appeared in the news since the time of Hickman, the California murderer. He is James Baker, a sailor. He calls himself "Texas Jim" • and admits or even boasts of nine murders. Arrest- ed in Detroit and being taken to New York he was found to be in posses- sion of a couple of revolvers and a stiletto with which it is supposed he intended to murder the detectives and escape. It seems rather char- acteristic of Davis that he would have had a fancy weapon like a stile- tto, and not an ordinary butcher knife which would have been a good deal nore effective. For he seems to be a kind of movie murderer. It is said that he will talk of his crimes by the hour. He does not apologize for them and -elates the most horrible details with a.... gps.to.. one might expect to find in youthful degenerates like Loeb and Leopold. Davis, too, is a degenerate, and while he may not have killed the nine people he names at least two of them were undoubtedly his victims And as a New York detective remark- ed grimly, "One murder is all a guy reeds to burn for in this state." Davis' fondness for women rather than for murders seems to have been the cause of his undoing; for while the police were looking for him they had supposed he had gone to South Amer- ica, and he could easily have kept out of their clutches if he had had a little more caution, or a little more control of himself where women were con- cerned, or if he had known a little better how to manage them. After committing his revolting ,murder in New York Davis left the city and turned up in Detroit. He immediate- ly plunged into whatever amours were handy and seemed to think them of More importance than saving his own neck. He posed as a kind of com- bination sheik and gunman. He carried a revolver on which nine notches had been cut, each of Wein representing a man he had --killed. His pockets were also full of pictures of girls, most of them nudes, and notes from girls and extracts which he had laboriously copied from the works of Krafft -E'b'bing, Havelock Ellis and the memoirs of the Mar- quis de Sade, all of them concerning sexual perversions. Another of his treasured posses- sions was a portrait of himself, clip- ped from a newspaper, which he used to keep on the wall of his bedroom. The letterpress above and below had been clipped off, but the portrait was undoubtedly that of Davis in a heroic pose. A girl he had in Detroit be- came curious about this picture and when the visited Davis in his rooms for the last time she surreptitiously removed it and gave it to a Detroit deteetive. He was unable to identify it, but filed it away for refer- ence. Then one day it happened that Tom Smith, a New York detec- tive, went to Detroit to look after a parole breaker and the Detroit detec- tive handed him the clipping. He did not recognize the face but look- ing on the back of the paper he rec- Porridge Hint.

So he took the thing back with him. At New York headquarters the picture was identified at once as that of Davis, wanted for murder. The Detroit police were telephoned and they swooped down on Davis who made no resistance, and was soon talking expansively about the crimes he had committed. His first murder was that of Cyril Parks, his stepfather, in Texas. They didn't get along very well and he shot him. Parks by the way, was the only man Davis ever shot, his other vic- tims (being poisoned. From his youth up he seems to have taken a morbid interest in poisons, and when possible. would get hold of some and carry it around with him. But it was not until 1924, when he was ashore in Galveston, Texas, from his ship, that the first impulse to murder anyone with poison became overwhelming. He was sitting in a lunchroom with an- other sailor when the idea occurred to him. He slipped a little poison in the sailor's coffee and had the thrill of seeing him die in convulsions in three minutes. Davis then went back to his ship and in the next three years sailed to various parts of the world dropping poison when. ,he had the opportunity, and on one occasion making an attempt to exterminate an entire crew with cyanide of potassium which he mixed with the coffee. Forty-one men drank the poison but only three of them died. "I watched them die," said Davis. "It was very interesting and just like the books said—their convulsions, I mean." The New York crime for which he will be tried was committed in the winter of 1928, the victim being a night watchman at the Guggenheim Laboratory in New York. Davis had worked for some little time at the laboratory and had stolen doses of poison from time to time. Indeed, when the police searched his rooms after he fled from New York they found enough cyanide to kill 10,000 people. At one time it seems that he had an ambition to make something of himself at the laboratory but dis- appointment at not securing a posi- tion he desired turned his mind to poison once more, and he quit his job. Then one night he went back to the laboratories and was admitted by Henry Gaw, the watchman, who knew him. They talked together for some time, and Davis found a chance to put poison in Gaw's coffee. But Gaw became only slightly ill and soon recovered. Then Davis drew his re- volver and terrifying Gaw with it proceeded to mix up a kind of paste of cyanide and coffee which he ram- med down the doomed man's throat with his revolver. Before he could get clear of the place two truckmen entered, but Davis held them up with his revolver and robbed them. He in- tended to murder them also but they pleaded so desperately for their lives that 1•:e let them go. Of this he bit- terly reproached himself later. "I guess that that was a mistake," he said. "It was those guys who identi- fied me from the laboratory photo- graphs when the cops decided it was an inside job."

Some hundreds of the most hopeful young men in the world are about to report at the baseball training camps scattered through the Southern States. They are the rookies, bound for a try- out with the big league teams. Some of them will last not more than a day, and by the time the big teams move north for the opening of the season all but a score or two will have disappeared. Some will go home. Others will report to teams where their abilities may win them positions in the hope . that when next Spring comes round they will again go south with a better chance of becoming fix- tures in the big league.

Nothing is commoner than for a rookie to be a sensation in Spring training and even in the early league games only to wilt long before mid- summer is reached and be unable to retain his position. Perhaps twenty newcomers in each league prove themselves real big-time ball players each year, and of these half a dozen may prove stars. There is a chance too, that some who presently• will be .et go will be recalled some months ater when a vacancy occurs and when the youngster in the meantime has shown better form than he displayed in training quarters. Young players are generally divided into two classes, one composed of those who look with reverence on the older players whose names are house- hold words, and seriously doubt their ability ever to supplant the acknow- ledged stars, and the others made up of brash youngsters who believe all big league stars are on the down grade, and that youthful ball players are as much superior to veterans as youthful novelists are to the Victor- ians. This type has been preserved by Ring Lardner in his "You Know Me, Al" stories. Lardner was for years a baseball reporter in Chicago and had plenty of experience with training camps. it is said that the original of his vain young ,busher was a son of Ed. Walsh, the great White Sox pitcher. Incidentally another son of this hero is trying for a position with the Yankees this season. In real life the concerted type is admirably illustrated by Arthur Shires, first baseman of the Chicago Americans. There never was a greater braggart in baseball, but the point is that Shires is almost as good as he says he is. He is regarded not only as a first-class (ball player, but as one of those colorful eccentric chaps whom people will pay money to see play ball. He is a drawing card, and a much better one than many a finer player. f?ri4�^1as).�t5c�i5'^4't dm Ai i,. Last year Shires was elected cap- tain of his team, and on his way north from the training camp he used to re- mark to reporters: "You can tell your readers what this league wants is more hitting, and I'm the one to see that they get it." Shires was regard- ed as a joke but he actually did pro- vide the league with more hitting. Occasionally there are natural ball players who win their place as regu- lars the first week of training and are never, thereafter, in danger from riv- als until age takes its toll of them. Others will come and go to half a dozen training camps before finally they arrive and take their permanent places as high grade players. Now and then among those trying for places are players who have been up there before but they slipped to the minors and are again trying to land with the big leaguers. Hardly less frequent than the mistakes of rookies who imagine themselves stars are the mistakes of the managers who are unable to perceive greatness when they see it. For example, Lloyd Wan - TO RELIEVE CATARRHAL DEAFNESS AND BEAD NOISES If you have Catarrhal Deafness or are hard of hearing or have head nois- es go to your druggist and get one ounce of Parmint (double strength), and add to it '/a pint of hot water and a little granulated sugar. Take one tablespoonful four times a day. This will often bring quick relief from the distressing head noises. Clogged nostrils should open, breath- ing become easy and the mucus stop dropping into the throat. It is easy to prepare, costs little and is pleasant to take. Anyone who has Catarrhal Deafness or head noises should give this prescription a trial. er, one of the best outfielders in either league, was turned down by an Ameri- can League club when he asked for a trial. Then he applied with a Class A Club and again was rejected. It was only after his brother Paul had become a sensation in Pittsburg that he was able to induce the man- agement to give Lloyd an opportunity to show his stuff. Within a year he was reckoned one of the best in the game. John McGraw, who has prob- ably ignored, sold or traded more great players than any manager in baseball, turned away Eddie Collins and Waite Hoyt without a trial. As a rule when the manager makes his mistakes he has already a star player for the position +he newcomer is try- ing for, and perhaps does not see'(soon enough that his favorite must be re- placed if the necessary quality of speed is to be maintained in the team. On the other hand this is c•ne reason why the astute manager, no matter how well his team did the year before, is as anxious to pick lip a promising recruit as the r"cruit is to make the grade. The man., e'er knows that no team lasts forever. and that the year it reaches the perk it be,ins to s'r.o. The slipping of a once unconquerahls machine was seen last year when the Yankees failed to win their penant, This year the new manager, Bob Shawkey„ has one of the hardest tasks of any manager in the game to stop the slipping and begin the climb to the top again Connie Mack, who won the Ameri- can league championship and the World's series la -t year, was fifteen years in building up a pennant winner after he had d,liherately dismantled his former great team in 1914. In that process he tried outno fewer than 500 young ball players. In 1923, for instance, be paid $75,0ftn for Paul Strand, who had batted .390 with Salt Lake City and was the sensation of the minor leagues. In four weeks he found out that Strand would not do, and the player was sent down to To- ledo. But luckily for Mack, Al Sim- mons appeared on the scene for a fraction of what Strand had cost and became one of the great batters of the day and an invaluable cog in the new Athletic machine. Some of the old players fearing that their jobs will be imperilled by the hustling newcomers make it very hard for them to make he grade. But the most of them are /early with their advice to any prom- ising lads who ask for it, even if they know they are probably building up those who will displace them. John McGraw says that one of the saddest things he ever saw were the tears in David Bancroft's eyes when McGraw remarked to him that Travers Jack- son, a youngster, who was trying for Ifianrroft's ,jo'hTf shortstop, would un- duu'{tedly make good.
