In this statement the former boss
OF the Chicago Cubs sums up what is
the idea of the majority of success

of a winning combination this sea-

more contemplated purchases, he eN-

John MCGTaw also believes in pay
ing big salaries for high class play
ers. When he paid $ll.0O0 To the
Indianapolis club OF the American
Association, for Rube Marquard and
$4,000 TO the ST Paul club for Chief
Meyers there were many baseball
men who thought that the Giants had
paid too much for men from the
minor leagues. But the work of the
pair since they Joined the Giants has
more than borne out the Judgment of
the Little Napoleon They have help
ed the Giants To- pennants and have
been worth their weight in gold to the
team
Now, Frank Farrell. the owner Of
the Yankees. is apparently adopting
similar course. He is paying Chance

the youngest pitcher on the respect

There are other symptoms, such as

nervousness, dizziness. tired and
WORKOUT feeling, weak bladder, OF
urinary troubles, which are just a.;
dangerous, for the slightest kidney de-
rangement if neglected may develop
into the deadly Bright's disease,
dropsy or diabetes.
1t is not only dangerous, but need
less, for you to suffer and endure the
tortures of these troubles, for CroX-
one promptly ends all such misery.
There is no more effective remedy
for kidney, bladder trouble and rheu-
matism, than CroXone, because ii
reaches the cause. 1t soaks right into
the kidneys, through the walls and
Innings, cleans out the clogged up
pores, neutralizes and dissolves the
poisonous uric acid and waste matter,
that lodge in the joints and muscles
and cause those terrible rheumatic
pains, and makes the kidneys filter the
poison from the blood and drives it
out of the system.
Three doses of CroXone day for a
few DAYS is often all that is ever needed
to relieve the worst backache or over
come disagreeable urinary disorders
You will find Croxone different from
other remedies. 1t is so prepared that it
is practically impossible to take it with
out results. An original package of
Croxone costs but a trtie, and all drug
gists are authorized to return the pur-
chase price if it should fail in a single
case.-Adv.

B.&A. Explains Why
1t Refuses to Lug
Uncle Sans Mail.

Bangor, Me-, Sept. 14.-Pres. Per
cy r. Todd of the Bangor & Aroos-
took Railroad issued a statement, on
Saturday, giving the reasons of the
company for refusing to handle the
United States mails on some parts Of
its system, particularly on the Fort
Fairfield branch, which has resulted
in much annoyance to the people of
that large Aroostook town.
Mr.. Todd's statement in general Gov
ers a number of instances where the
compensation per train averages only
s21.S3 day, and no allowance has
been made for the increase of more
than 20 per cent. in weight since the
parcel post went into effect. Jan. l.
On the Patten branch the govern
ment pays SAB year, besides allow
ing 81 for transporting the mail from
the station to the postoffice while the
lowest figure that can be obtained fer
delivering the mail between the sta
ton and office is 5000, leaving the rail
road but S11 year for transporting
the mails.
On the Caribou and Limestone
branch the government allows $50 for
delivery of mails at the terminus, and
the lowest figures the railroad can get
teamsters for is $240, leaving a bal
ance on the contract of S47S amount
ing to a compensation of IS cents per
train for carrying the mail over 10
miles. regardless of weight.
As to the route between the main
line junction and Fort Fairfield, where
the company has refused to handle the
mails. President Todd says that the
government allows the railroad $693
for transportation and S29 for deliF-
cry to the postotfice. The best figures
the railroad could obtain for deliver
ing the mail from the station to the
office was $40. leaving a balance To
the railroad for transporting vert
heavy mails over 13 miles only -
cents train, with no allowance for
transferring the mails between the
main line 10 the branch line trains.
Mr.. Todd has refused to perform
the service on this branch for 10 cents
a train and says that the United
States courts uphold transportation
companies in such refusal when it
means a loss. Mr.. Todd says that
the government has asked for bids for
automobile service on this route, and
the lowest figures submitted Were
$500 a year for the service, which
the railroad is asked to perform for
$722.

pany has made every effort to secure
