Electric BitterR.

Electric Bitters is a medicine suit
ed for any season, but perhaps more
generally when the languid ex-
hausted feeling prevails. when the
liver is torpid and sluggish and the
need of tonic and alternative is felt.
A prompt use of this medicine has
often averted long and perhaps fatal
bilious fevers. No medicine will act
more surely in counteracting and
freeing the system from the malarial
poison. Headache, indigestion, con-
stiPation. dizziness yield to Electric
bitters. Soc aud 81 per bottle at

town-Close Contest Among Gunners.
The National Baseball Outlook.
The revision for this season OF the
baseball rules has been completed and
announced by Ed Hanlon, chairman Of
the National League Committee. Four
important changes have been made. The
first is to provide against horse plsy"
when a new ball Is thrown out. This
rule reads:
''The alternate ball so delivered to the
pitcher may be discolored by him and by
no other player, but in so doing he shall
resort TO no other means than rubbing 1t
with his hands or gloves, and shall use
no foreign substance, other than earth,
and said ball shall not be rolled nor
passed from player 20 player.
The second new rule fines any player
&10 and $25 for the first and second
times he leaves his position or the bench
to question 8 decision, except he bethe
captain The third new rule is Ia
relation to trapped" balls and makes
the batter ort II her hits fly ball that
can be handled by an inhelder while first
and second bases are occupied" Before
the rule stipulated that only first base
be occupied, when 1t Is almost impossi-
BILE to work double play by trapping
the ball.
Next, the new rules will provide more
definite penalty ia the case of q batsmRn
batting out of order. at all times. only
one hand can he declared ont and he shall
be the batsmRn who failed to take bis turn
ct bat The batting order is then
followed In regular order. If tbs
batsman who bAtted out of turn
should make base hit, or IN
any way get bis base, IL shall
not be counted, II the error in the batting
order Is discovered before a time at
bat" has been made, and all base runners
advanced by the improper bstsmen shal
return to the bases they occupied before
he went to the bat. 1t should be re.
membered that batsman who bats on
of his turn does not lose his proper turI
ct bat, but IL the error is discovered be
fsre time at bat has bsen made. b.
again bats. If 1t is his turn next, aud tn,
