Wichita Club Has Seventeen
Contracts On File.
Great Bend Recruit Only Hold

Wichita, Kan, Feb. 25.-If every ball
player belonging to Wichita who has
not yet signed his contract for this
season should refuse to do so, the Job
bers would nevertheless be able to put
first class team in the field when the
season opens Contracts have been re-
celVed from seventeen including men
for all positions and two or three more

OF the seventeen, two are catchers, sew

outfielders They are: Wacob Kerns,
Routt. Ellis. Scott, Perry, Durham,

Harris.
Lunsford's contract is also on hand
and it is possible that he may play
here after all The national commission
awarded him to Saginaw but he has
taken up the case with Saginaw and
also with the commission basing his
claims on the charge that Saginaw
did not notify him that he had signed

cision and allow Lunsford to wear a

LEFT HANDLERS MEET.
Right Handed Superiority claimed Not
Shown, Speaker Says.

Chicago. Feb. 25.-Left handed per-
sons formed the congregation at
South Side Methodist Episcopal church
last night. They had been called to-
gether to hear a plea for school in
struction intended to make the world
ambidextrous. Ushers used the left
hand in greeting those attending the
service and the pastor, the Rev. Will
liam Albert Frye, took advantage of
the occasion to criticize those who held
that right handed persons are in any
way superior to those who, just as
naturally use the left hand.
He found fault with the dictionary
which says that the word implies use
lessness, weakness, and lack of skill.
He mentioned RUDE Vanguard and
Tyrus Cobb as being left-handed per-
sons superior in their work to any
right-handed men in the occupation of
baseball playing.
He said that the crown prince of
Germany and most of the crowned
heads of Europe were either left-hanG-
ed or ambidextrous-

Peculiar After Effects
of Grip This Year
Leaves Kidneys In Weakened Condition.

Doctors in all parts of the country
have been kept busy with the epidemic
of grip which has visited so many
homes The symptoms of grip this year
are very distressing and leave the sys-
tenn in a run down condition, particu-
lariy the kidneys which seem to suffer
most, as every victim complains of
lame back and urinary troubles which
should not be neglected, as these dan
ger signals often lead to more serious
sickness, such as dreaded Brights Dis
ease. Local druggists report a large
sale on DR.. Kilmer's Swamp-Root
which so many people say soon heals
and strengthens the kidneys after an
attack of grip. Swamp-Root is a great
kidney, liver and bladder remedy, and,
being an herbal compound, has a gen.
tie healing effect on the kidneys,
which is almost Immediately noticed by
those who try it. DR.. Kilmer & Co.,

best laxative tablet in the market.
They are certainly made of the very
best material, and constitute a safe,
convenient and effective laxative.
Then there is the Lacupia, a blood
remedy. This remedy 1 regard as an
