The Wonderful
Blood of Man
Dies and Is Born Again with
Every Breath of the Lungs 4

Human blood contains red and white
corpuscles. The little red soldiers carry
food, strength and vitality to all parts
of the body and the little white war
riors fight the battles of the body.
When through poor eating, wrong dl-
gestion, disease or whatever the cause
may be, the blood becomes filled with
poisons and impurities the little red
and white soldiers cannot do their work
properly and hence they become a
menace rather than an aid to the rest
of the body.
20,00000O corpuscles die with every
breath of the lungs. To rid their ranks
of enemies they throw them into the
cells of the skin or down deep in the
tissues, and man has to suffer pimpleS,
boils, blackheads and eruptions.
Stuart's Calcium Waters are scien-
tifcally prepared under the highest of
expert supervision and give to the
blood through its regular nourishing
channels-the stomach and digestive
canal-a purifying food and invigor-
ator.
Calcium Sulphide is one ingredient

Eucalyptus are other component parts.
each having a particular Office for the
elimination of impurity and the up

The remarkable feature about Stu

so speedily and so efficiently that they
tone up the whole system from the

yond conception.
Their peculiar charm lies in the
method of manufacture which insures
the fullest strength of the ingredients
beyond all other manner of prepara-
tion. One does not purchase an un-

COSSLP OF THE DIAMOND
AZ RED PERKINS

Nl HE baseball team which formerly
was known as the Orange T. M
Il G. A. club has disbanded and re-
organized, and hereafter will be known
as the Orange City baseball team. The
old team had good success last season,
playing thirty-two games and winning
twenty-five. On November the
Orange team played the Los Angeles
Transportation club with Pitcher To-
hey in the box, and the game resulted
in tie, to 2, and was called on ac-
count of darkness. Six of the former
players will be with the new club.
They are Elmer Morrison, pitcher
Jack Pratt, first base; Henry Meehan,
captain and third base; Bert Reeves,
center field and Lester Slaback, lett
field, These are experienced players
and are able to take part in all games.
The business men Of Orange are rals--
ing funds to support the club, and
will give Orange City one of the best
ball parks in Southern California. The
team will appear in blue suits with
orange trimmings, while orange socks
will complete the outfit. Elmer Nor
rison, who win do the twirling, has
one of the best pitching records in this
neck of the woods. In thirty games he
made an average of twelve strikeouts
a game, allowing an average of only
five hits. He also is heavy sticker
and a fine base runner, and has an
average of 1880 at bat. Guy Meats,
catcher is an experienced player and
a good man to steady pitchers, and
also is a hard hitter, being well up
in the 300 class. Jack Pratt is another
heavy batter. This Is his first year at
first base. He formerly was a pitcher,
and is an expert at winging them
down to the various bags. His batting
average for the season is .378 Herbert
Whit, the second baseman, is a heady
player, is a fast and sure fielder, and
has batting average of 1920. Ben
Carpenter Is a new man on the club
and holds down the shortstop job in
expert fashion. In a recent game, out
of three times at bat he made two
doubles and one single. Harry Nee
han, captain and third baseman, is
another fine fielder and an accurate
thrower. His batting for the season
has been .27S. Letser Slaback, left
fielder, is the fastest man on the team
and a fair batter, his average being
.221 for the season. Bert Reeves, CEN
ter fielder and utility infelder, is
good man in any fielding position, and
has a batting average Of $50 for the
season. Clyde Valencia, right fielder,
is a good base runner, bats we'll and
is close to the 300 mark. Any Los
Angeles team wishing games should

Score 6 to o
[By Associated Press.1

CAMBRIDGE, Mass, Nov. 14.-Har-
stubborn Dartmouth defense in the
second half of their annual football
game today and by splendid demon
stration of all forms of attack the
Crimson won, to 0.
Dartmouth fought fiercely and dur
ing the first half, the rival elevens
appeared evenly matched, but in the
second the superior weight of the
Crimson team enabled it to pierce the
Hanoverians' line for substantial gains.
The story of Harvard's single touch
down is a story of onslaught that could
not be resisted.
Receiving the ball on their 22-yard
line, the Crimson carried 1t right down
the field to the Dartmouth goal line.
The brunt of the work of the victori-
.ous eleven fell on the men behind the
line, eight Of whom played in the
game. Corbett distinguished himself at
left halfback, and when he had used
all his strength in telling plunges at
the Green line, Leslie took his place
and repeated the performance. White
and Long also were ground gamers,
while Kennards punting and YER
weib's line play were notable.
For DartmouthS Marks at fullback
played a splendid game. Repeatedly
he was hurled at the Crimson line and
generally for gains. Pollard, who re-
placed Hawley, was also great
ground grainer

CHICAGO GETS EVEN

CHICAGO. Nov. 14-Chicago fought
an even battle with Cornell today, the
score being to 6 at the end of the
greatest game played in the west this
season. That Chicago was fortunate
to tie it's opponent was the opinion
even of the most enthusiastic admirers
of Stages athletes.
Outweighed and outplayed on straight
football In the first half, Chicago gave
an exhibition of speed and involved
play in the second that bewildered the
Ithacans and sent the ball across the
Cornell goal A triple pass negotiated
by Steffen, Page and Schommer five
minutes before the close of play tied
the score and sent the Chicago enthu-
siasts into a frenzy,

HARVARD MILITARY TEAM
MEETS DEFEAT AT PASADENA

PASADENA, Nov. 14.--After beating
the football eleven OF the Harvard Mil
itary academy Of Los Angeles by the
score Of 10 to 0, the Pasadena high
school boys and some of the girls made
it "a big night tonight in this city.
For two hours after the game 1t was
impossible to get away from the fact
that Pasadena won. Bands Of high
school pupils shouted 1t in the ears of
the people in the downtown streets and
emphasized their statement by pranc-
ing boisterously down the car tracks.
1t really was good game. Pasa-
dena, undefeated as yet this year, went
into the game with a vengeance, and
by the hardest kind of team work not
only scored two touchdowns, made by
Card and Walker, but managed 70

school from crossing its line although

Princeton Scores only Points In First

Trlumphs
rBy Associated Press. ]

PRINCETON, N. j., Nov. 14.-Prince-
ton closed an inglorious football season
with q defeat at the hands of Yale to-
half, to 0, Yale came back deter
mined for the second, and simply car
ried Princeton off its feet. Working
like a piece of machinery in the open
ing half the Orange and Black re-
turned for the second session to show
only spasmodic flashes of the brill
liancy displayed earlier.
With Yale it was a different story.
Entering contest for the first time
since the sweeping switch of the men
after the Brown game last Saturday,
there was some anxiety in the Yale
camp as to the outcome today, but as
tine contest progressed the work of Yale
improved.
Princeton fought bitterly to avoid
the impending disaster, but the flesh
was weak. When, near the end of the
second half, Captain Dillon, Princeton's s
great little leader, was carried from
the field fighting and crying like a
child, the heart seemed to be taken out
of his followers. One by one the weak
ened and battered Tigers were re-
placed by fresh men, until seven subs
had been brought into the game.
Probably not in the history Of the
games between the two universities
have two men shone so brilliantly on
their respective teams as did Coy of
Yale and Tibbott of Princeton today
Tibbott by his brilliant runs around
ends and his wonderful work In open
field, made possible Princeton's only
touchdown, while Coy, with bulldog
tenacity and grit, tore great holes in
the Princeton line, and many times it
required the combined strength of at
least four Princeton men to stop this
player.
If Yale has anything new in the foot
ball book she religiously kept it hidden
for the Harvard game next Saturday
She rarely tried the forward pass, and
as infrequently resorted to the on-side
play. Yale relied almost wholly upon
runs through tackle and Mound the ends
and line plunges.
1t was during one of these desperate
dives by Coy, when Yale was within
striking distance of the Princeton goal.
that Captain Dillon was struck and
rendered unconscious. He remained in
rather bad shape for several minutes,
but the physicians say the plucky cap
tain is suffering from a general relaxa-
tion and that his condition Is not Sc
rious.
