PLAYING RULES For the Coming Baseball Sea son Agreed Upon SOME CHANGES MADE Buffalo, Feb. 10. Representatives of all baseball leagues of the country met today to revise and establish playing rules on a uniform basis and so worded that they may be understood by amateurs and professionals alike. The rule that caused the most discus sion was that defining when the umpire shall declare a foul. It was decided that when the balls falls or settles on foul ground inside or on a line of terri tory described by a line drawn through first to third bases, at right angles with an imaginary line drawn from the home plate to second base and extending on each side to the limits of the field, it shall be with the umpire to call it a strike.

It shall remain discretionary with the umpire to' call a strike or foul when the balls goes into foul territory outside a- line drawn through first aud third bases to the limits of the field. The pitcher is not allowed more than one minute to deliver nor exceeding five balls to warm up. The catcher must stand within ten feet of the plate throughout the game. Rule 32 read: "If the ball is thrown by the pitcher to a player other than the catcher (except to retire a base runner), after the batsman is standing in his proper position ready to strike a pitched ball, each nail so delivered shall be called a ball." The rule defining when the batsman is out was changed to read: "If, after two strikes have been called, the batsman obviously attempts to make a foul hit as in rule 44, section 3." DEATH RECORD.

The Illinois X-Ray Infirm ary's Treatment Restores Weak; Men and Women to HEALTH AND $10 X-RAY EXAMINATION FREE to all who call before February 10. Why are so many men and women ailing? Why do they continuously take treatment for their private ills and yet never get well? In the majority ot cases It is because they secure only, ordinary treatment. It is because they go to the general practitioner, who lacks" the teachings of experience in special cases, or what is still worse for them, they go to tho selfstyled specialist whose specialty embraces, as their announcements imply, every known disease.

It Is because they come in contact with too many specifics, free samples, or similar devices. That such treatment does not nor can not cure diseases and weaknesses peculiar to men and women Is well known to all who have tried it. Neglected or badly treated cases of Varicocele, Blood Poison, Impotency, or allied troubles require the very best treatment the medical profes sion affords. They require, superb skill. They require the deepest, clearest, keenest possible insight into the mysteries human functions, shrouded as they often are in darkness, where the ordinary medical eye sees but little and guesses at facts.

We have given our whole time and attention to these maladies of men and women. We havo studied them earn estly and persistently their origin, their effect npon the human body, and have developed for their cure various forms of treatment which have been un iformly successful in cases where suc- other doctors. Out of the vast multitude during the past ten years not a single faHure nor an nnpleasant result has been reported. What we have done for others we can do for you. When we tell you this in nil sincerity, and propose to prove it by the best citizens of Decatur, among whom are many of our cured patients, have you the right to doubt our state ments without first investigating their truth? Is not your health and future happiness worthy your time aud trouble to look into a system of treatment that has positively cured to stay cured thou sands of cases which have resisted so many doctors and other remedies? When we offer you free of charge a thorough personal examination, togeth er with an honest and scientific opinion.
