People With Thin Blood

Some people have a tendency to be-
come thin FLOODED just as others have
an inherited tendency to rheumatism,
or to nervous disorders. The condi-
ton in which the blood becomes so
thin that the whole body suffers
comes on so gradually and stealthily
that anyone with a natural DISPOSE
ton in that direction should watch
the symptoms carefully. Bloodless-
ness or anaemia, as the medical term
is, can be corrected much more easily
in the earlier stages than later. 1t
begins with a tired feeling that rest
does not overcome, the complexion be-
comes pale, and breathlessness on
slight exertion, such as going up
stairs, is noticed.
DIR. Williams Pink Pills are a home
remedy that has been most success
full in the treatment of diseases caus-
ed by thin blood. With pure air and
wholesome food these blood making
pills afford the correct treatment when
the symptoms described are noticed.

Il was emaciated and did not have a
particle of color. 1 had severe head
aches, had no ambition and could just

Foreign comment on the showing
made by the American golfers entered
in the recent English amateur cham
pionship is unusually fair and consid-
crate. Although the pick Of the Amer
lean field was entered and did not
survive the fourth round 1t Is general
ly conceded abroad that these players
took their responsibilities too heavily
and we're doomed to defeat from the
start. One English writer in reviewing
the tournament stated:
When your men can come over and
play a round just as though they
were out for a country walk, and play.
not with any idea of winning, but sim
ply to while away a summer holiday,
they will probably win. You handicap
them too heavily before they start
Too much publicity is bad for one S
nerves. Nobody knew Tubbs VINO de-
feated Francis Ouimet, for example,
had even entered the tournament. He
won simply because he was an I'M
known and out for little golfing hol-
iday and was therefore playing his
normal game. 1t was quite good golf"
The fact that Jack Johnson had
reached the age of So years, IS days
when he risked his title against Frank
Moran in Paris last Saturday has led
to some interesting discussion regard
ing the ages at which previous heavy
weight champions lost their ring laur-
els. John L. Sullivan was 81 years
old when defeated by James J. Cor
bstt at New Orleans in 1892. He held
the title for ten years, but Corbett was
less fortunate for he retained the
championship but five years. being 81
years old when Bob Fitzsimmons won
at Carson City in 1897.
Fitzsimmons' tenure Of championship
was even less for at the age of 81 he
was knocked out by Jim Jeffries at
Coney Island in 1899, after holding the
title for two years and three months.
Jcffries who met defeat at the hands
of Johnson at Reno July 4, 1910. was
IS years old when the negro wrested
the ring honors from him. He held the
championship for eleven years.

The annual report of the State horti-

sued, contains an article on 1.-THE Ne
cessity of Advertising Our Apples, "
which will prove of interest to Maine
fruit growers. 1t reads in part as fol
lows:
THE improvement which has beer
accomplished in the production Of a
finer grade of fruit has been especial
iy noticed in the last few years. In
fact, our fancy apples compare very
fayorably with those of any other
producing center. Maine apples have
long been known for their fine dual.
ity and 1t is generally conceded that
for certain varieties the natural con-
ditions of our State are unsurpassed
The fruit stands up well under long
shipments and will keep almost in
definitely when care has been taken
In the production and when picked al
the right time and properly stored.
THE State law recently passed will
go long way toward promoting bet
ter grading and packing and will pro-
tect the shipper of honestly marked
product. with the enactment of this
law We are far in advance of most
other states. One of the things we
need, then, is a better method of sell.
ing our fruit and a great amount OF
advertising. The success that has beer
attained with other articles of food
many OF which are inferior to the ap.
pie, leads to the belief that the great.
est success will follow a general ad
vcrtising campaign.
Some time ago, 209 recipes showing
the different ways an apple may bt

With the major league baseball clubs
about to enter upon the second half
of their 1914 campaign a comparison
with the records of the past two years
develops some interesting data regard
ing the strength and weakness of the
teams Of the National and American
circuits. In the senior organization the
New York Giants led their league on
July LIST in both 1912 and 1918. Two
years ago the McGrawites were max
ing runaway race Of the pennant
contest, having won fifty and lost elev-
en- games for an average of 800. Pitts
burg was second with 81 games won
and % lost, giving the Pirates a per-
centage of .597 Chicago with .567 was
third, having lost rs games and won a.
Cincinnati completed the first division
with 80 victories and 32 defeats, the
Reds percentage being .522. Philadel-
phia, Brooklyn, St. Louis and Boston
followed in the order named with per-
centages of .42s, .4o7, .as1 and 1903, re-
spectively.
Last seasons standing showed sew
eral marked changes over this order,
for while the Giants were showing the
way, their lead was of the narrowest
margin, for Philadelphia was in sec
ond place and Brooklyn following the
Quakers closely. In fact but .120 points
separated the first four teams against
approximately 300 in 1872 The New
York CLUB, ultimate winners of the
pennant, had percentage of 1886 to
Philadelphia's .633. The Giants had
won 40 games and lost %, while the
Quakers score stood 3S games won and
% lost. Brooklyn, which held sixth
place in 1912, was but rs points behind
the second place club, having won "a
games and lost 81. Chicago completed
the list of first division teams with a
percentage of .515. The second half of
the league standing was occupied by
Pittsburgh, st. Louis, Boston and Gin
cinnati. with respective percentages of
.4tl, .424, .413. and 1873.
In the American League the Phila-
delphia Athletics were not playing at
top speed In 1912 and held second place
with the Boston Red Sox showing the
way. Chicago was third and Washing
ton fourth. The race was much closer,
however, than that in the National
organization, for Boston had but 12S
points separating the first and fourth
teams, the standing being: Boston,
won As, lost 81, percentage .6s7; Phil
adelphia, won 3S, lost rs, percentage
SOP; Chicago, won 80; lost %, per-
centage. SIC; Washington. won 50, lost
80, percentage $50. Cleveland. Detroit,
New York and St Louis formed the
rear guard in the order named.
Last season the Athletics held a
lead of such proportions that the
fans were already beginning to concede
the pennant to Connie Mack's players.
With 4S games won and II lost, the
Philadelphia club showed a percent
age of 1888 against Cleveland 500, for
AZ games won and Is lost. Chicago was
again in third place with 80 victories
and g defeats, giving the White Sox
$40. Washington, while not going as
strong as in 1912, still managed to hold
fourth place, 13 points behind Chicago
and five points ahead of Boston, which
in one year had dropped from first to
fifth place. Detroit, st. Louis and
New York brought up in the rear as
they did in 1912.
