leaguers for player from the ranks

$4,000 for two seasons to Frank
Chance, the famous first baseman and
manager OF the Chicago Nationals,

The attractive offer was made by
Danny Shay. representing a commit
tee of Stockton business men.
Chance said in reply that he could

had communicated with President

has been drawing a pretty big sal

sides owning shares in the stock of
the club for which he has refused
$4,000.
Chance is known to have asked
more than Murphy had expressed
himself as willing to pay, but 1t is
possible that he viii accedes to his
first baseman's demand rather than

Secretary Wilson says: "one OF
the objects OF the law is TO inform
the consumer OF the presence OF GER
tain harmful drugs in medicines"
The law requires that the amount
Of chloroform, opium, morphine,
and other habit forming drugs be
stated on the label OF each bottle.
The manufacturers OF Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy have always claimed
that their remedy did not contain
any of these drugs, and the truth of
this claim is now fully proven. as not
mention OF them is made on the label.
This remedy is not only one OF the
