is how TO make herself attractive.
But, without health, it is hard for her
to be lovely in face, form or temper.
A weak, sickly woman will be nervous
and irritable. Constipation and kidney
poisons show in pimples, bloches, skin
eruptions and a wretched complexion.
But Electric Bitters always prove a
godsend to women who want health,
beauty and friends. They regulate
stomach, liver and kidneys, purify the
blood; give strong nerves, bright eyes,
pure breath, smooth, velvety skin,
lovely complexion, good health. Try
them. Fifty cents at all druggists.

a ball team can't be managed by town
meetings. If they would pick out
some good man and let him run things
absolutely Davenport would be Justl-
fed in expecting better results than
under the present system.
The Danville Commercial-New adj
mits that the game in that city is at
critical stage just now and that 1t Will
be necessary to strengthen the weak
places on the team if the sport is TO
be continued. Manager Mccarthy Is
not blamed, but criticism is evidently
leveled at the new ownership which
is expected to loosen up for the price
of new talent. Among other men NC
Carthy has tried to get are Johnny
BarkweIl who is with Terre Haute,
and Davy Milligan, with Indianapolis.
We believe Rock Island is the only
baseball town in the middle west that
has not, under certain vicissitudes that
attend our national sport, picked up
Rusty Owens. Rusty has been used
as petroleum on the troubled waters
for 10, these many years, sometimes
with success, but latterly as rule,
with Indifferent results. Now he has
been called into the Northern assO-
citation, which may be taken as the
most significant indication that that
circuit is in its final throes. Sterling,
which has just broken into the league,
has signed Rusty, who has been pitch
ing for Aurora so far this season.
There is rumor drifting about in
baseball circles that Pa Shaffer of
Davenport is to be canned as soon as
he gets home with the team, and that
Holycross is to succeed him. If this
is true it is likely that Holycross has
been selected as manager because he
has been effective thus far against
Rock Island, and if later on the ISL
anders succeed in getting to him he
will probably be led to the block, too.
If Skaters dethroning is to be brought
about on general principles, all right.
If it is because of the slump of the
team it is poor policy and poor sports
manship, as any club under stress of
circumstances is likely to experience
a similar fate. regardless of the ability
of the manager.
