Slowly and deliberately the orator
took a glass Of water.
Then he pointed his finger straight
at the questioner Lightning flashed
from his eyes, and he replied. In
voice that made the gas jets culver:

The audience cheered and yelled

CURE THAT SORE THROAT

Sore throat is Inflammation of the
mucous membrane Of the throat, and
If this membrane happens to be at all
sensitive predisposition to sore
throat will exist.
Paxtine Toilet Antiseptic is both a
preventative and cure for sore
throat because it possesses extraor-
binary cleansing, healing and germi-
cidal qualities. Just little in glass
of water, used as a gargle, will quick
ly relieve all soreness and strengthen
the mucous membrane Of the throat,
and thus overcome all tendency to
sore throat.
Paxtine is far superior to liquid an
tiseptics or Peroxide for all toilet and
hygienic uses.
Paxtine may be obtained at any
drug store, rs and SOC box, or sent
postpaid upon receipt of price by The
Paxton Toilet Co., Boston, Mass

A new CLUBHOUSE
Cub Boss Announces That
He Will Rebuild Present

Apparently stung with the harsh
criticism from baseball managers of
other National league clubs, President
Murphy of the Cubs announced yes
terday that he had decided to build a
new clubhouse for visiting ball teams
at the west side park. The first critic
was Clark Griffith, leader of the Reds,
and he compared the present clubhouse
to a hog pen and chicken coop. Others
took II up, including Manager Fred
Clarke Of the Pittsburg team and, as il
to stop further discussion. Murphy said
yesterday that he would build new
quarters.
But I'm not doing this because the
present quarters are insanitary or
filthy he said. Il have admitted be-
fore they are too small. and that's the
only reason I'm rebuilding. My plan
is to build a second story to the club
house now used by our own players and
then leave it to Manager Chance wheth-
er the visitors will have the upper or
lower half One will be as good as the
other.
There's a stable back Of the old
clubhouse now, where Groundkeeper

There is a bleacher now extending
over the Cubs clubhouse and part of il
will have to be destroyed In order to
