Stel- ! ger, former employe of the railroad, charging that he had been discharged by the company who owed him SIS and had refused to pay, which consti- tutes a misdemeanor under the stat utes.

J, PLUvE SPOlLS RED HOT GAME
 OF BALL
Arrives at BakeNille at Critical Stage and Drives the Play CTS to Shelter-Will Try It Again Sunday.
Review Branch, Telephone 76, Lowell, July p, 1907

Old Boy Jupiter Pluyius stopped off at Bakersville Sunday on his way up from Douglas and took in the ball game. He seems to have habit of putting in whenever there is any thing big coming off. but it was a grand game nevertheless. owing to the fact that they were short of boats the game had to be called at the end of the third inning. Up to this time both teams showed they were capable of playing a game of ball that would entitle them to admission in any of the national leagues.
 The players not only demonstrat- ed that they knew the game of base ball from A to z, but there were sev- eral little acrobatic stunts pulled off which are not ordinarily seen on the baseball diamond, but which are quite common in the game of football.
 The game was called promptly at 2:15. Sorsby was the first man up, as Britt's arm had not got warmed up. Cy took first on four bad ones, stole second, went to third on a sin gle by Godfrey and came home on a huff by Hanley at third. Godfrey

Many people in Fl Paso, Douglas and other cities in the southwest eX- press surprise that none of those cities have real first class baseball and wonder why it is that the people will not support that kind of sport. In my opinion it is due to lack of or ganization. Most of the people in Douglas are accustomed. or have been accustomed. to seeing organized professional baseball. and whether it
 be true or not that local amateur teams are not as fast IS local people have been used to seeing. they are of that opinion. and consequently do not take as much interest in the game as they should. To put real interest in
 baseball it is necessary to have inter
 state or interterritorial competition And whether we are yet ripe for or ganized baseball in the cactus cOun | try is doubtful.

MALTOSE AND HEALTH,
Physicians Say Its Use in The Human System
Is of Great Value.

The great value of Maltese as a nu-
trltlVe substance can not be eXagger-
ated. In the living organism il is
transformed into assimilable sugar
more rapidly than saccharose or cane
sugar 1t is very easy to digest and
having not so sweet a taste as cane
sugar, it can be taken in much greater
quantities than the latter.
"Malta-Vita" is no meaningless
coined word: it stands for it's literal
translation from the Latin and means
exactly what it says-"Malt Life" The
original phrase. For the blood is the
life" is the starting point and final
winning post of Malta-Vita which con-
tains Il considerable percentage of
maltese, a natural sweetening agent,
easily digestible and readily assimilat-
ed by the human economy, forming
rich healthy blood.
Now for many years the medical
profession have prescribed semi-solid
malt extracts which contain n large
percentage of maltese but which
cost from fifty cents to seventy five
cents per pound. Malta-Vita con-
tains from eight TO ten per cent of this
wonderful blood maker and costs but
ten cents per package.
Malta-Vita is scientifically prepared
to meet the requirements of old and
young, weak and strong. To every
man, woman and child it gives blood,
bone. muscle and brain vigor and n
/ buoyancy of life that cannot come from
other food. And 1T is good to eatI
All grocers sell Malta-Vita.

cited his characterization Of Il western

in which he prOfesSed TO quote the
president as having given UP the cleo

the whole statement as false and
