IF IT DISAPPEARS, IT'S ECZEMA

How to Tell Whether a Skin Affec.
tion is an Inherited Blood Disease
or Not.
Sometimes 1t is hard to determine
whether skin affection is a sign of
a blood disorder or simply a form of
eczema. Even physicians are often
puzzled in their diagnosis. The best
way for one afflicted is to go to Fred

WOULDN'T GO BACK
To Old Days of Coffee Troubles.

Studious, sedentary habits are apt
to cause indigestion, dyspepsia, ner-
vous headaches, etc. but often it's the
daily use of coffee that is at the bot
rom of the whole trouble, and it is
surprising how quickly these troubles
disappear when coffee is dropped and
welI-made Postum is the daily bever-
age.
No. Oak minister writes of the
relief obtained when he changed from
coffee to Postum. He says:
II began using Postum about a year
ago while stopping at the home of
friends during the absence of my wife.
''It seemed also providential, for do
ing that time 1 got rid of coffee and
its attendant ills I used to have bill
ious attacks about every two weeks
that completely used me up for day
or two at a time.
'I did not suspect coffee and was
unable to account for these attacks.
since 1 began Postum I have had but
one slight attack and the change to re-
stored health is most acceptable.
MY wife declared on her return
that nothing would induce her to give
up coffee, but after a few careful
preparations of Postum, according to
directions on pkg, she thought it was
superior to coffee in favour, and now
we would not change back to coffee.
1--WE feel we owe debt of gratitude

for all Of us-chiIdren and older. ones.

SPORTING GOSSIP.

In z. z. C'Rip") Hagerman, the
young twirler under reserve for the
coming season, Manager Chance of the
Cubs has secured an athlete touted as
one of the tallest in the National
league. The rangy circuit, who rolled
up an enviable record pitching for To-
pel<a last season, towers to a height of
6 feet inches and is built along the
lines of modern Goliath, according to
the stories circulated by critics who
have seen him in action. Hagerman
has patched up his differences with
President Murphy and will make a bid
for a permanent job with the worlds
champions.-Chicago Tribune.
Believing that the public likes to see
batting, W. H. Fox, in the Baseball
gests that the foul line of the baseball
diamond be flung at an angle of eight
feet beyond both first and third base.
In other words, extend the area be-
yond the lines, starting from the home
plate and running toward the field on
slant. The argument is advanced
that it will give the batter a greater
advantage than he now has, making
possible an increase in his average of
25 per cent. For several years the dis
position Of the rules committee has
been to make regulations that favor
the pitcher. Mr.. Fox believes the pub
lie should be considered in it's partial
ity to good batting game. With the
foul lines extended so that a ball sent
outside the base lines eight feet beyond
second base, the public would see more
of the kind of a game it likes. He be-
lieves both the first and third basemen
could easily field their positions, and
while increasing the work of the pitch
er. it would be accepted with general
favor.
