HAMILTON ( United Press Stuff Correspondent) New York, Jan. 17. Charles H. Eb bets, discoverer of tho Buttle of Long Island and several other excuses for holidays, is still in the ring for Sun day baseball. Winding up his campaign through the baseball season last summer, when he obtained signatures from thous ands who visited his Brooklyn park, he is ready to mako an attempt to get a bill through the New York legis lature. Critics in this city are of the opin ion that Bbbets is going too far in trying to wedge in an extra playing di.y, and point to figures, which they say, show that New York, with its six-day schedule, draws more persons than the Western cities with seven dey schedules. How interesting. When you get down to the root of things and find that New York is six or seven times the size of most west ern cities, it is pretty easy to see why 'that is. Brooklyn isn't hurt by week-end at tendance. The big turn-outs on Sat urday show what might be accomplish ed in the borough across the bridge if Sundays were open to baseball, i Out west they have played Sunday 'baseball for years, and no one makes any objection. Ministers receive and accept with no qualms season passes to minor league parks and use them. They stay away from the Sunday games, but they don't miss the week day matinees. If the west is broad enough to see that a working man hasn't the time t go to a baseball game through the week, it is queer to see some one try ing to explain why the east wouldn't like it. The fans want Sunday baseball. The thousands who signed the petitions at Ebbets field prove that. Not Too Cold for Him. A. J. Martin, veteran storekeeper for the O-W. R. & N. company, says it won't be too cold for him until he has to wear his coat at the dinner table. Prefers Chamberlain's. "In tho course of a conversation with Chamberlain Medicine Co.'s rep resentative today, we had occasion to discuss in a general way the merits of their different preparations. At his suggestion I take pleasure in express ing my estimation of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. I have a family cf six children and have used this rem edy in my home for years. I consider it the only cough remedy on the mar ket, as I have tried nearly all kinds." Earl C. Ross, Publisher Hamilton County Republican-News, Syracuse, Kan.

Mrs. Niblcr endorsed Donn's i over six years ago and again confirms the story. Could you ask for more Young Woman Who Was Born at Is- hind City and Whose Parents Are! Well Known in Grande Konde Vul- j ley Passes Away. The following' clipping from the Orange Star, Orange, Cal., tells of the death of Miss Lucille Brooks, whose parents are well known in the Grande Ronde valley. Her mother before her marriage was Miss Kate Thomas of Island City: runeral services for Miss Lucile Brooks, whose passing occurred in Mercy hospital, Prescott, Arizona, Thursday, December 28, were held Monday afternoon at 2:30 in Trinity Episcopal church, of which she was a member, Rev. Harris, rector, officat- lng. Interment was made in I auhav- en cemetery. Pall bearers, all partic ular friends of Miss Brooks and the fnmily, were Messrs. L. R. Beymer, Fred Stever, Arthur Collins, Frank Collins, Will Kroener and Stace Buch anan. The Episcopal funeral rites es- : pecially impressive, from the entrance of the vested choir, followed by the rector, to the beautiful benediction, were attended by a very large number . of friends of the deceased. i The sympathy extended to the fam- ! ily and the love felt for this young girl, whose life was sweet and pure as the rarest flower, was shown in the countless floral offerings. The casket, 'pulpit and surrounding floor space was almost hidden with these tokens. The lot in the cemetery contained quite as many. The choir sang "Abide With Me," and Mrs. Paul Clark sang a solo, "A Perfect Day." As the time for her departure from earthly life approach ed, of which Miss Brooks was in full realization, she asked that some one near her sing this sweet composition of Carrie Jacobs Bond and which was a favorite of Miss Brooks'. Her at- tendants being unable to grant the request, she repeated the words her- self, and the rendition of the song at the last sad Tits was especially ap- propriate. Her life passed out as it had been lived, as the end of a per fect day. Frances Lucile Brooks was born in Island City, Oregon, May 28, 1892. When four years of age she came with her parents to California, and nine years ago January 2, they came to make Orange their home. She gradu ated from O. U. H. S. in the class of 1910, and from the ctate normal in Los Angeles in 1912. Her first year of school work was passed in San Juan Capisbrano, after which she taught in Center street school, Orange, for three years. Last September 2 she lcft for Kirkland, to enter school work there, making her home with Mrs. Grace Chapmnn, a long-time friend. She was taken severely ill on Wed- nesday, and on Thursday, December 21 was taken to Mercy hospital in Prescott. Her mother was called from Orange the following Saturday after noon, reaching her side Sunday even ing. For a time she seemed to improve, under careful nursing and the encour agement of her mothers' presence, but Thursday afternoon, December 28, nt 2:30, after affectionately bidding all iwunjtT, 111:1 iiig (lanniu u..j. During her brief stay in the hospital the sweet patience with which she bore illness, and her perfect prepared-: ncss to meet the life which was to come, created an affection in her at tendants which will become a perma nent memorial. No Difference A Good Friend. A good friend stands by you when Mr jf ft. NihW. 210G Third St.. Grande, says: "I was pretty well crippled up with pain in my back and right side. I found it dillicult to do my housework nnd was suffering a good deal of misery. Two boxes of Doan's Kidney I'ills removed the aches and pains and of late, I have had no trouble." (Statement given May 20, 1910.) On May 25, 1916, Mrs. Nibler said: "You can continue to ur.e my recom mendation for Doan's Kidney Pills in the local papers, as you have in the past, if it will be the means of telling others about a good reliable kidney medicine. 'It has been several years since I have had to use n kidney rem edy which is proof of the curative qualities of Doan's Kidney Pills." 50c at all dealers. Foster-Milhurn Co., Mfgs., Buffalo, N.
