Avoid Sedative Cough Medicines.

If you want to contribute di
rectly to the occurrence of capll-
larry bronchitis and pneumonia
use cough mldiolnes that contain
iodine, morphine, heroln and 9th
er sedatives when you have
cough or cold. An expectorant
like Cham berlain's Cough Remedy
is what is needed. That cleans
out the culture beds or breeding
places for the germs of pneumonia
and other germ diseases. That is
why pneumonia never results from
a cold when Cha berlain's Cough
Remedy is used. It has q world
wide reputation for It's cures. It
contains no morphine or other
sedative. For sale by all dealers. {.

A Unique Custom.

Some years ago the Vinol fra
tsrnity, of which our druggists,
the Smith Drug Company, are
members, originated the idea of
having a National display week
of Vinol and companion products,
semi-annually.
This Vinol fraternity must be
quite an extensive organization,
for returned travellers tell of the
wonderful window displays of
Vlnol which they have noticed in
their travels through Canada,
Cuba and as far away as South
America.
The Smith Drug Company are
now preparing for Vlnol week,
which begins October 27sh, this
year. Their attractive window
arrangements, and store decora.
tion, show the same enthusiasm
which they have for years put be.
hind this meritorious Cod-Liver

Their SPECIAL features are Vinol,

in the season, they intend to give
away a new Vinol Cook Book to
their customers. Every woman
interested in good cooking receipts
should call and get one.

of local golf enthusiasts Journey
ed yesterday to the links of the
Tacoma Country and Golf club to
see Chick Evans and other East

The famous "Chick" proved no
disappointment. He made the To-

amateur record by five strokes.
He seemed equally good on the
long and short holes. Warren X.
Wood also aroused admiration by
his mastery playing, although he
got off to bad start. On the
18th tee he hOled out in two, the
only time the trick was turned
yesterday.

Gale Bandy, Al Crane and
Spike" Roberts are sure to go
to Chicago. Besides the money
raised by the High school pupils
and other sources, the receipts of
the alumni ball are going to the
fund, and from all indications the
ball will be about the biggest ever
pulled off here. Should these
sources of revenue by any chance
fail, a personal canvass will be
made to get the necessary money.
Several prominent business men
have denoted willingness to as
sure the fund.
e. e. Perkins and Coach Bell
will accompany the athletes to
Chicago. Coach Perkins believes
all three athletes will take first
places in the interscholastic games
and hopes to see Crane do we'll
in the A. A. U. competition. All
three youths have been entered
in both the senior and junior A.
A. U. events, as well as the In
terscholastic games.
In the senior A. A. u. events
the Stadium athletes will compete
with the greatest track and field
men in the world. They will
practically have to go up against
the entire Olympic team, with the
exception of Jim Thorpe, declared
professional.
Not few persons believe, new
ertheless, that Crane has a good
chance to beat the field in the
running high jump for senior hon.

per out loud that the Tigers have
played three games since last FRI
day--one Saturday and two yes
terday. And We won all three
of them. Incidentally, we took
the series.
Not SO worse, Helene.
The first game with the In
! dams yesterday was a walkaway,
our Cats romping home with the
bacon, to 2, and hammering Mr..
Covaleski with a venom and a
vigor that young man found quite
depressing. Butch Bedford, work
ing for the Bengals. had every
thing, even the horseshoes.
Izzy Kaufman started to twirl
the second struggle, but after
couple of innings, Iron Man Nc
Ginnity rushed to the firing line
and gave Icy the derrick. Joe
won out. the score being 5 to 4.
A great ninth inning rally gave
us the game. With one gone,
Miles NetzeI, who once played
with Spokane, tramped to the pan
to hit for Sport Harris. ITO hit"
is right, for he whanged the pill
througbt the pitchers box for a
base. Fries blocked a shoot with
his ribs, and McMullin accepted
transportation gratis to first.
Red Toner, Indian pitcher, at the
urgent request of Watt Powell,
left the vicinity of the hillock.
Dave Kraft succeeded him.
Neighbors was morgued on a
long hoist, but McMullin came
across. Golden Ruell slammed a
slam, and Keller scored. Then the
Tigers decided they had enough,
and SO it proved.
Great work by C. Cecil Neigh
bors in the last half saved the
day for the Cats in the ninth.
After Million had swatted, Yohe
cracked a terrific hit to right GEN.
ter. Neighbors hiked there with
great haste, leaped, thrust forth
one fin, and had the sphere. A
double and short fly followed,
and then came another fungo
drive to right which Cy stabbed.
Both Miles Netzel and Fries
showed mp well in each game.
Miles played leftfield in the first
struggle and got one hit. He
pinch-hitted in the second. Fries
swatted in both games.
Saturday Joe McGinnity clout-
ed the longest hit ever seen at
Recreation park. He drove one
high and far over the left field
fence for a home run. This con-
test was won by the Bengals 9
to s.
McGinnity sure gets away with
this Iron Man stuff. He pitched
a victory Saturday and another
Sunday. Altogether, he won three
games last week.
McMurdo relieved Holderman
on first base the second game.
Skin Harris was also In the game
and used his big hat in all three
victories.
