WHEN A TONIC
is NECESSARY
II You Are Run Down and DebiE-
tated the Health Can Only
Be Restored by Building
Up the Blood.

When the body is weak and the blood
thin it is sometimes difficult to find the
cause unless wasting illness has pre-
ceded the decline in health.
Obscure influences, something I'M
healthful in one surroundings or work,
may lead to slow mpoverishment OF
the blood and an enfeeblement of the
whole body. When serious stage has
been reached there seems to be nothing
that will account for it.
In such cases a complete change OF
climate or of work will sometimes effect
cure 1t takes long time, however,
and for the great majority OF sufferers
is out of the question.
Mrs. G. p. Boutwell,, of Clear Water,
Mimi, whose husband is hardware
merchant there, says:
'sAbout two years ago, when l was
living at West Union, Iowa, L was all
run down through hard work and worry.

on my stomach and lived on eggs and
milk for some time. My stomach was
sour and the gas on it kept me from
getting much sleep at night. The doc
tors medicine made my stomach feel
worse.

"Wave Splitter" Is Latest

Elmer Stricklett, inventor of the
"spitball," has wave splitter" to fool
the big league batters The wave
splitter" is a ball which breaks in at
least two different directions on its
way to the batter. 1t has more speed
than the ordinary splitter"
Stricklett '1ost" his arm several
years ago when he was in the majors,
and was sent to the minors. When he
perfected the sritball he went back to
Brooklyn and was leading National
league pitcher several seasons.
The wave splitter" is said by experts
to be more effective against scientific
batters than bushers, and is expected
to make Stricklett famous again.

IDEAL TRAINING CAMP
Managers Of Big League Teams
Differ on Question.
Some Like Quiet Places Where There
10 Little to Divert Attention Of
Players from Their Work.
Others Favor Big Cities.

What constitutes an ideal training
camp for big league baseball teams?
Big league managers and players DIFF
fer in their opinions. Some like the
quiet places, where there is nothing
to take the thoughts of the players off
their work. Others like the big towns,
where there are advertisements to
break the monotony of training. Some
also prefer the big towns because
more money is taken in at the gate.
Some managers like to change every
year, so their players will get change
of scene Many prefer spot where
the athletes may imbibe freely of
mineral waters.
In the latter class are the managers
of at least five-Fred Clarke of Pitts
burg, Bill Dahlen of Brooklyn, "Red"
Doom of Philadelphia and Jimmy Nc
Aleer of Boston. OF the five, all but
New York have picked Hot Springs,
while the Giants have trained at Mar
lin, Texas, for several seasons. The
fact that the Giants and Pirates have
been contenders for the pennant all
the time they have trained at health
resorts speaks well for their system.
The Boston and Chicago Americans
are the two clubs that have made cir
Gus trips of their training tours. Co
miskey several times took his squad
to the coast and once to Mexico, while
the Red Sox twice went to California.
Neither team obtained good results.
In the opinion of Nap Lajoie, a
training camp combining the good
qualities of Alexandria, La, and Ma
con, Ga, would be the ideal place.
Alexandria has the climate, the water
and the hotel, but it lacks population
and a good baseball diamond. The
latter fault could be rectified, however,
by the sending of a groundkeeper
ahead of the team to get things In
shape. But the town is small and
lacks amusements. Consequently the
players got mighty tired Of it in a
week or so, and their work seemed
unusually onerous, especially as Man
ager Mcclure was a stickler for that
old old-style plan of having the play
ers walk some eight miles day in adj
dition to their double workout Again,
1t was case of "all going out and
nothing coming in," as the gate re-
ceipts at Alexandria were practically
nothing
