HOW JOE BUSH GOT
 BASEBALL TRAINING

2 Possibly Connie Mack played a hunch in picking Leslie Bush, whose middle name, Joe, is usually applied to him by his pals, to work the third game of the worlds series, For Bush comes from the same town as Chief Bender.
 Bust's home town Is Brainerd, Minn. Until the spring of last year the youngster never had pitched a game of ball in any league. He IS less than 20 years old now, having been born in November, 1893, and summer days twir1ing for independent ball clubs near his home, after having made a reputation on the Brainerd high school nine.
 Two years ago this month, when the Athletics were playing the Giants for the world championship, Bush was at his home. All Brainerd gath cred around the telegraph office at the railroad station, to hear the re- turns from the worlds series. Bender pitched three games that year, win ming two of them. He lost the first to Mathewson, to 1.
 As the story of this game was conn ing in, Bush said: "I'd like to pitch in one of those series some time And I'd like to be against the Giants, to get back at them for beating the old chief" Now his dream has come true, much more quickly than he would have hoped, had he thought it ever would be realized.
 Tn the spring of 1912 he went to Missou1a, Mont, in the Union associa- ton. Bush and Carl Zamloch. who was bought by Detroit, and sold to Providence, pitched Missoula to a pen nant. Mack bought Bush. He did not use him much at the start of the season, but worked hirn pretty well toward the close.
 Bush pitched his last game septem- Der 22 against Detroit, in the first game of the doub1e-headert in Slaibe park that c1inched tlle @ American league pennant for the 1AtI le4ics. zs
 He handed the Tigers a fine brand of pitching, holding them to eight scattered hits and noFruns, the Ath- Ietics winning bys score of to O.. All the hits were singles, with the ex- ception of two, one two -bagger cor ral1ed by his namesake, Owen Bush, and one by Gibson. Owen also col Iected a single in this game The heavy hitting Sam Crawford managed to get one hit while Ty Cobb landed two. Bush famed two men and passed four. As II Tigers were left on bases during the game, it can be seen that young Bush was there strong in the pinches and did grand work with men on the corners
 His last appearance in the box pre- vious, to the third game in the series was October 3, when in 1-3 innings he held the Yankees to three hits. During the American league season Bush took part in 39 games, of which he won 1 3, lost and finished g. mum Der for other pitchers and was re- 1ieved himself several times During the season he struck out 7S men, gave 66 bases on balls and allowed 198 hits.
 In the list of American league pitch CTS he stands 17th in the natter of percentage of games won. But as six of these-Brown of St. Louis, ,Schwenz of the same team, Bentley of Wash ington, Coombs of the Athletics, Love ] of Washington and Cottrell of the Athletics, pitched and won but one | game he. really stands 11th.

 Appetite makes the glands, of the free1y-hence the term Mouth Wa ter.'' This is the first digestive juice-. It has an important office to perform as all starchy foods are partially di gested. by it because one of it's ingre- dients, ptyalin is almost an instant di- gestive of starch. This process re- duces the starch in foods to sugar.
 The appetite causing a free flow of saliva aids the stomach by it's abil- ity to mix the food eaten with mouth juices which enables it to more read fly do it's work.
 Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets go into the mouth like food, are eaten, then dissolved and fluidized by the saliva This mass then goes into the stomach and there quickly readjusts the stom- ach juices so that in 9 short time. food is not offensive and mans appetite comes speedily back to him and he is hungry in a healthy, normal way. By all means use a Stuart's Dyspep- sia Tablet the very moment you feel a loss of hunger. The quick return of appetite to you will convince you quickly that your stomach has been out of order an that Stuart,s Dyspep- sia Tablets were the means of restor- ing its normally healthy condition.

Appetite is very largely a series of signals from the stomach. When one has a rousing appetite at the sight or smell of food the stomach through its connection with the mind of man is asked whether the food seen or smell ed would be welcome.
 The stomach if healthy says yes and at once our mouths water and we are hungry from desire-keenfy, raven ously hungry If the stomach be sick then we have no appetite and are ac- tualIY nauseated.
