Triple, Three Doubles and One
Single Started Oscar Wit Off

Witt is small but he is a terrific
slusger for a man of his size. The
way he has clouted the ball in The
one-ole-cat batting practice, las
opened the eyes OF every bystander.
Witt does not look to be a player
with much behind him when he is at
the bat. His build is all to the good
for fielding. He is small and supple
and handles himself gracefully in tie
field. One would expect him to he a
good defense man.
But, bingo How he does SWING!
He comes all the way around from
behind himself and puts every ounce
OF his little body into the blows that
bust the ball. He keeps them low but
sends them fast.

NEGLECT THE CARE OF YOUR SCALP
AND YOUR HAIR WILL BECOME A DISGRACE

The hair is more exposed and hence
more Liable to accumulate dust and
dirt than any other portion of the
body.
In spite of this the hair receives,
as rule, the least attention and no
real effort is made to keep it healthy.
If the dandruff germ is allowed to
work unmolested and the scalp be-
comes crusted with dirt acclrmula-
tions, one may expect the hair to die
and fall out. There is no cause for
surprise in this phenomenon; 1t is
natural and happens in every in
stance where the care of the hair
and scalp is overlooked.
The one sure remedy which pre-
vents the loss of hair and permits a
healthy, luxurIant growth is found in
