He has speed, of course; that's
one of his big assets And he has
mighty good curves. And recently
he has splendid control But to my
mind, the Rube's one big winning
play is his "windup" or motion"
as we call it.
He has long swing, from which,
all of sudden, the ball snaps out.

The woman who "keeps house" has
enough to do when she is in good, sound
health, but if she is weak, tired all the
time, and suffering from morn to night
with an aching back, house-work becomes
heavy burden.
Many women who were afflicted in this
way say that Doan's Kidney Pills have
made life easier for them.
Women are subject to kidney disease.
The clothing they wear, the work they do,
the worry and strain of bearing and rear
ing children, the lack of proper exercise;
all tend to it.
Backache, bearing-down pains, headache,
dizzy spells, faintness, fits of ''blues," and
other troubles often thought to be peculiar
to the sex, are found frequently in kidney
disease. When any one of these ills APP
pears, together with a discolored condi-
tion of the kidney secretions, with passages
too frequent, scanty or burning, just make
up your mind that your kidneys are weak,
and be quick to help them.
Doan's Kidney Pills have helped great
many weak women through the trying
times when kidney disease means so much
added misery They do not disturb the
stomach OF bowels and contain no poison
Gus, dangerous nor habit-forming drugs
Doan's are harmless for children too.

WOMEN AND HEALTH.

Women are beginning to realize
more fully that good health is not to
be found in the use of cosmetics and
face powders. The appearance OF
health may follow facial treatment,
but health itself lies much deeper than
the surface.
Most important to the health Of ev-
cry woman is regularity of the bowels
and digestive organs. The weary
eyes, bad breath, frequent headaches,
pimples and general air of lassitude,
is in most every case due to consti-
patton or Indigestion, or both. There
are various remedies prescribed for
this condition, but the easiest, most
pleasant and certainly effective, is
a combination of simple laxative
herbs with pepsin known to druggists
as DR.. Caldwells Syrup Pepsin. This
simple remedy is far preferable to
harsh salts and cathartics and violent
purgative waters that disturb the
whole system without affording more
than temporary relief.
DR.. Caldwelrs Syrup Pepsin is a
tonic laxative, mild in its action,
pleasant to the taste and positive in
its effect, Strengthening the muscles
of stomach and bowels so that after
a short time these organs regain the
power to perform their natural func'
tons without assistance.
DIR. Caldwells Syrup Pepsin is sold
by druggists everywhere in soc and
s1.00 bottles. If you have never tried
it, write for a sample to DR.. w. B
Caldwell, 201 Washington St., Month
cello, ILL.,; he will gladly send a trial
bottle without any expense to you
whatever.
