BY H. C. 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."

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.

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."
