The Baseball Situation.

The baseball season is far enough
advanced to permit of a reasonably
safe forecast of the outcome of the
1913 struggle for championships in
the various leagues. Mobile is lead
ing in the southern league, with
Atlanta only eight points behind and
Birmingham forty-nine points away
from the Georgia team Chattanooga,
Montgomery, Memphis and Nashville
range as named, while New Orleans
is bad last having Won a. games
and lost 86 up to yesterday. The
Pellcans are certain not to be head
ed for tail hold.
The New York Giants have an ap-
parently safe lead in the national
league, with Philadelphia second,
Chicago third, Pittsburg fourth,
Boston fifth, Brooklyn sixth, Gin
cinnati seventh and st. Louis
last. Philadelphia has lead the Am
erican league from the beginning of
the. season and is So points ahead
OF Cleveland, which holds second
place. Washington is third and
Chicago fourth, with Boston, De
troit, st. Louis and New York fol
lowing in the order named.
The contenders for the worlds
big league championship this year
are almost sure to be New York and
Philadelphia, the same clubs that
battled for the distinction in 1911,
when the Quaker City's sAthletics
won the contest.

TO Reduce the Cost of Living.

A nationwide movement to reduce
the cost Of living by making oysters
a staple article of diet has been start
ed by the Oyster Growers and Deal
ers Association of North America
This organization, which includes in
its membership the largest growers,
packers and distributors of oysters in
the United States and Canada, has
set the week Of October 20 as a ma
tional "Oyster Week." during which
oysters and oyster dishes will be
featured all over the land to ac-
quaint the general public with the
value Of this bivalve as a meat sub
stitbIte.
At the recent convention of oyster
men in New York. DR.. Carl l.. AIS
berg, head of the United States bu-
reau of chemistry, gave the oyster a
clean bill of health, saying that peo-
pie ran less danger Of Contracting
typhoid fever from oysters than they
do from drinking raw milk or the
water supplied in many commun1.
ties
Discussing the food value of the
oyster he said: s'EVery pound OF
food taken from the sea relieves the
land of producing a corresponding
amount of meat" Government re-
ports show oysters to be extremely
nutritiye and easily digested. One
bulletin says: Speaking roughly, a
quart of oysters contains on an aV-
erage about the same quantity OF
actual nutritiye substance as a quart
OF milk, Or three-fourths of a pound
of beef, Or two pounds Of fresh cod
fish,
Packed as oysters are now, only
in their own juice and without the
addition Of water as formerly, a
quart of oysters today will go much
farther than even three years ago;
in fact, a prominent retail handler
says that one pint is sufficient for a
family of three adults.
Because of the high price of meat
which will be eaten only by the rich
ten years from now, according to
President Russell of the Master
Butchers Association of the United
States-the substitution Of oysters for
beef will have a decided tendency to
cut down the grocery bills of the
public.
DIR. Alsberg is authority for the
statement that in numberless cases OF
illness where oysters were blamed, it
was discovered that other food had
been eaten at the same time which
was much more likely to have caused
the trouble than oysters.

HEALTHY LIVER MAKES BEAUTY
Famous Actress Finds that Healthy
Liver Is Necessary to Good Looks
and YouthfuEness.

One of the best known women OF
the American stage is writing Sc,
ries OF articles on the preservation oi
beauty. She attaches great import
ance to keeping the liver active at
all times, and she is right Neither
good looks nor happiness will stay
long with any man or woman wmHo
lets the liver get lazy and sluggish.
It is not always safe to take cal
omel, the old liver remedy. Doctors
agree that it is very uncertain
drug. But the X-Ray Pharmacy has
remedy for sale they guarantee to
take the place of calomel absolutely
and will be harmless, causing no re.
striction of habit or diet. This rem
edy is Dodson's Liver Tone.
nodson's Liver Tone is pleasant
tasting vegetable liquid, but it starts
the liver gently and surely and re-
1ieyes constipation and biliousness SO
promptly that it has become a de.
pendable remedy in thousands OF
homes in the United States. There
are scores of families in this yicin-
ity who viii not be without it in
the house and who would not think
of starting on trip without a bot
tie of it.
The X-Ray Pharmacy has sold SO
much Dodson's Liver Tone that they
are convinced of its merit, and will
give any person his SO cents back,
who buys bottle and does not feel
that it takes the place Of calomel to
perfection
