Out OF four times at bat Douglass
made three sacrifice hits and got
one base on balls, thus exempting
him from a slime at bat" in the

down to second will think q
cyclone struck 'em.
The score was 81 for San An
tonic to the fourth inning, when
the Panthers touched up Nevin for
four hits and as many runs. We
rallied in the fifth, when we made

sealed, the Panthers touching Tim
for three triples and a double,
giving them the game.

We hear great deal about
purifying the blood. The
way to purify it is to enrich
it. Blood is not a simple
fluid like water. 1t is made
up Of minute bodies and
when these are deficient, the
blood lacks the life-giving
principle. SCOTS Emulsion is
not a mere blood purifier. 1t
actually increases the number
of the red corpuscles in the
blood and changes unhealthy
action into health.
If you want to learn more
of it we have a book, which
tells the story in simple words.
