Considerable interest is manifested
among TIE members of the Pettingills
Corner Athletic Club in the formation
of a baseball team for next season and
the club claims that it will have
team that will make the other local
teams step some to beat it. The games
played at home will take place on the
old Pettingills Corner diamond which
will be fixed up to a considerable. ex-
tent when the snow is off the ground.
1t Will be remembered that the Corner
boys had one of the strongest teams
IN the city, last season, and Manager

AN EARLY MEETING
Will Be~Called of Cony Baseball and
Track Candidates.

Plans are on foot at Cony High
school for the early calling of meet
Ing of the candidates for the baseball
and track teams OF this next spring,
so that training for the cross-country
run with Coburn Classical Institute,
which is being planned for by Coach
Wandtke, may start in very soon. The
baseball men will also start soon in
having some indoor practice. which
will include mostly exercises under
the instruction of Coach Wandtke,
and Capt Harvey. so that when the
baseball season is really here the men
will be prepared to start in actual hard
practice.
The outlook for the team is very
promising, this year, as about all of
last years men are left in the school
and also some men who have never
taken part on the regular team, who
are good players. Mitchell. who
caught such a steady game for Gons
last year, will be behind the bat. Haf-
vey. Conys star pitcher for 1911, will
be left, and with HOftses and Cham
berlain, both good men, viii probably
make up the string of pitchers.
First base is left vacant on account
of George Stuart's graduating. and
smith and Clark will probably be the
candidates for this position. Leighton,
who played second base for Cony, q
short time, last year, but was COM
PEELED to leave the team, on account
of injuring his ankle, Will cover sec
ond base Newbert, Marston and
O'Connors are all candidates for short
stop. OtConnors has played on the
Conv team before and promises to add
much to the strength of it. Henry
Thyng, the captain of last year $
team, practically has third base
cinched. Numerous candidates Will try
for the outfield, including L. Cooper
V no played a strong game in right
field, last year, Thayer, Sampson, G,
(t,oppr and Folsom.

the time. The hypodermic Treatments
require from twenty-eight to forty-two

return to his work.
Think this over carefully with your

of drinking man on the other, and then
use your own Judgment.
The Neal Treatment is not a SOLDERING

however, are not always an indication
of advancing age, for many people
have gray hairs quite early in life OF
course. it is unnatural, and indicates
that there is something wrong with
the individual. and that Nature needs
assistance in correcting the trouble.
The same Is true Of hair that is con-
stantly falling out ard becoming thin
ner every day. II everything is right
with Nature, the hair even in COM
paratively elderly people, should be
long, thick ana glossy. without even
streak of gray.

storing and preserving the hair is

How many times have you said to
yourself that you could drink liquor or
let 1t alone? You have demonstrated
that you could drink liquor. but
have you demonstrated satisfactor-
lily to yourself that you could leave
it alone? Many of the brainiest
and over to themselves as you have done,
tbut they eventually become satisfied
that they We're fooling themselves) and
when they had satisfied themselves of
this they have taken the Neal Treat
ment, knowing that it would absolutely
free them from the slavery of alcohol
Did you ever know or hear of person
who bettered his condition, mentally,
morally or financially by drinking liquor?
Count the number of men among your
own acquaintanceS whom you know have
lost positions and have gone down the
ladder through the influence of alcohol.
You may think, as nearly all drinking
men do, that liquor does you no HARM
but YOU know in your own mind that this
is not so. 1t is only a matter of time
when 1t will destroy you physically and
mentally, so that you will not be able to
keep up with the procession in the bust
ness world. This is a strenuous age
and men who wish 10 better themselves
and rise in their profession or vocation,
or even retain their present position,
must have a clear brain, sound health,
and must be able, physically and men
tally to stand the strain of business life.

Employers don't want men who drink.

and think this over seriously, and We
know that you will agree If you are
honest with yourself that what we have
aid is true. No matter how much liquor
you have drank. or how long you have
drank it. No matter whether YOU are a
