clear expenses they will be doing re-
markably well-and that's even more
than many hope to do. But by sur
viving the year. they will become an

mean they'll begin TO do a profitable
business in 1915.
Their lineups this year aren't com
posed Of all-stars. But they look good
enough for any new league. The Feds
have some promising youngsters that
ought TO develop into stars before the

Feds viii begin little dickering with

That Third League
Baseball sharps for many years have
declared that a third league would rise
up because there were too many un-
protected cities-that is large cities
where only one major league club eX-
listed. When the Feds and organized
baseball merge. it's quite likely that
the Chicago. 81. Louis and Kansas City
and Indianapolis may be transferred
to such cities as Detroit, Cincinnati
and Washington.
Some there are who say that there
isn't room for a third league. The
present season will answer that ques-
ton If there isn't room for three
eight-club leagues. it's quite possible
therelI be room for two twelve-club
leagues And that's just what may
happen before he 1915 season is under

 In spite of all care people will be- come constipated. and if you find yourself in that condition you can get immediate relief by the use of Dr. Caldwelrs Syrup Pepsin. There Is no time of the year when you should be more careful of constipation than in the summer, for many of the serious Illnesses as well as the fatalities re- suit from a clogging up of the bowels You also need general good health to withstand the heat. and hence Syrup Pepsin is best to take because it con- tains tonic ingredients that help tc build up the entire system.
