3 to 0 Score

In what was scheduled to be a polo
game Wilmington defeated Attain

The Jersey boys knew as much about
polo and how 1t should be played, as
Adam and Eve did about electric light,
and In this respect our boys were not
far behind
II both teams were trying to demon
strate how the game should not be
played, they certainly succeeded. What
the spectators saw was "a combination
OF baseball golf, lacrosse shinny
wrestling, etc, with the former pre-
dominating.
In base running and sliding the visit
ors had it on our boys. and although
their stick work was not to be sneezed
at, when Il came TO batting we had then
beat q city block. Whitley" Roberts

bush leaguers. out OF five times al

Stomach.
II you have ever suffered with a weak
stomach you must realize that the diges-
tive system Is to the body what the foun-
dation is TO the house-the base of sup
port and strength.
Whatever hurts your stomach or les
sens its power, hurts all other parts Of the
body and impairs their powers. II the
stomach Is weak and distressed, one organ
after another will be involved until the
heart kidneys and liver are all distressed
Get the stomach right and health will
naturally come TO the other organs. This
explains why a good many people who
have doctored for years for diseases OF
the heart, kidneys or liver. have at las,
been cured by Mi-o-na stomach tablets.
They found TO their astonishment and
happiness that. when the weak stomach
was strengthened. their health returned
the heart became regular. the torpid
liver active and the kidneys healthy
DO not think we claim Mi-o-na is a
"cure-all." It is not. 1t IS a specific for
on distresses OF the stomach. and when
IL strengthens the stomach and cures

HOW SHE HAD HELPED.

Mrs. Compton looked at her husband
with the gentle, affectionate gaze which
he had come to recognize as an invari-
able result of call from the next-door
neighbor, Mrs. Harlow.
Poor thing!" said Mrs. Compton,
with a sigh of content, although no
name had been mentioned "Shes tied
for life to one of these intensely prac-
teal men, Henry, with no Imagination
| do pity her So and yet she's fond of
him, Henry, that's the strange part Of
it-really fond of him."
whats he been doing lately?" ask
ed Mr.. Compton, with amused interest,
for the shortcomings of Mr.. Harlow as
presented by his wife had beguiled
many a half-hour.
you see Mrs. Harlow is-well. she's
not apt to be ready at the exact mo-
ment Mr.. Harlow expects her to be
if they are going out" said Mrs. Comp
ton, her gaze still lingering tenderly
on her husbands ingenious counte-
nance. "And he has talked to her a
good deal about it, quite-quite firmly
at times, | think. She says she always
plans to be on time, but she has so
many Interruptions, and then she's a
Southerner, you know, and they are so
calm and leisurely."
"They are, if she's a sample" said
Mr.. Compton.
Eyes, of course. l knew you'd see
the point" and his wife beamed on him
with approval in her brown eyes. ''Well,
last Friday evening that man actually
gave her little book with a list of the
things he had done and read while he
was waiting for her to go to places.
1T was their seventh anniversary,
and of course he gave her something
else, but this book he called Waiting
he'd had it stamped on in gold letters
himself.
"She looked at 1t, and read three or
four pages, and then, as she told me,
she felt so proud (you know he is clev-
er in some ways), she just said, And
to think I've really been help to you

Worth Knowing About.

If you need a first-class laxative,
there is nothing better nor safer than
that old family remedy, Brandreth S
Pills. Each pill contains one grain of
solid extract of sarsaparilla, which,
with other valuable vegetable prod
ucts, make it blood purifier of excel
lent character. If you are troubled
with constipation, one pill at night will
afford great relief.
Brandreths Pills are the same fine
laxative tonic pill your grandparents
used. They have been in use for over
century and are sold in every drug
and medicine store, either plain or
sugar-coated.
