Even Most Chronic Sufferers
Find Relief After A Few
Doses Are Taken

Backache, urinary disorders, and
rheumatism, are caused from weak,
inactive kidneys, which fail to filter
out the impurities and keep the blood
pure. and the only way on earth to
permanently and positively cure such
troubles, is to remove the cause.
The new discovery, Croxone, cures
such conditions because it reaches
the very roots of the disease. 1t

halt, the lame and the blind are go
ing about the streets, and instead of
curing them by miracles Mr.. Straus
is providing them with propbylac'

with therapeutics that will cure all
ments when once contracted. Mod
ern science has worked wonders in
many places, but at no place has it
accomplished more than what is
seen in Jerusalem. II is gratifying
to our national pride to know that
an American and a Southerner has
provided the unfortunate people the
means of getting rid Of so much

Modern Jerusalem

Jerusalem, which is sometimes
called the Holy City, is said to be
the birthplace of three leading re
ligions, and for many years ths
suffenngs of the starved and sick
AL helpless populace were hides
eribable. All this is changed.
This year there has been food for
hungry, work for the idle and hope
Of health for the victims of malaria.
There has also been dellyerance
from hydrophobia for the uniortu
nate human beings that were the
prey OF the packs of dogs that prowl
around the city. Nathan Straus,
Al American. took pity on the un-
iortunates, and began first by es.
iablishing soup kitchens, which are
ministering to thousands Of Mo-
hammedans, Christians and Jews
every day. lie established work
shops, where thousands Of people
are engaged in making souvenirs
that are sold to pilgrims, and which
were formerly imported FROM Con
nectlcut and other manufacturing
places, while the native population
sat IN hopeless hunger and idleness.
Mr.. Suaus has also established a
health bureau or department, and
Tor this purpose was furnished a
building by the Ottoman govern
mont. His greatest battle was
against malaria, which resulted
from the open cisterns that had be-
come the breeding places Of m
squitoes, and IN the pools that
abound about the city. These pools
have been file | up and the cisterns
purified, and the mosquito plague
has been abated. For the first time
~ centuries several hundred cIsterns
we're cleaned out and disinfected
and are now supplying pure, clean
water, where formerly they teemed

Season IS ended
IN THE TRI-STATE

Except the Harrisburg
Senators
CHICKS OUT OF
GAME FOR GOOD

The Tri-State League, after many
setbacks. much hard luck and consid-
erable financial trouble, has finally
ended its season for 1914, the final
contests being played IN Harrisburg,
Allentown and Lancaster on Monday.
The Harrisburg team, managed so
ably all season by George Cockill, cap
tured the flag and the other clubs fin
ished in the following order: Allen
town, Reading, Wilmington, Trenton
and Lancaster.
The victory Of the Capital City play
ers was no surprise. Cockill and his
clan leaped into the lead a number Of
weeks ago and have held undisputed
claim to the initial position ever since.
Harrisburg was not considered a con-
tender early in the season, but con-
sistent plugging and an eagerness TO
cover up weak spots on the club, soon
set the island park contingent in its
proper place and the result is a pen
nant for Harrisburg. George Cockill's
( victory Is well-deserved and makes
the second pennant he has taken 10
the Capital City.
Some clubs in the Tri-State claim

Reading will not be in the race In 1873

HARD TO HIT IN

THE QUESTION

ST. LOUIS. Sept 9-Lee Magee,
who is hitting round 800 with the
Cardinals, declares that anyone who
has any real. natural. native-born bat
ting ability can hit far better in the
major leagues than I'm most of the
hush company, and several other slug
gers think the same. I'm the minors, ~
says Magee. 'you are handicapped two
ways. by the dangerous wildness Of
the pitchers and the wildness OF the
umpires These ferociOus young ami
mails who pitch IN the little league
seem TO think that their passport TO
major promotion is over the strikeout
route, and that the bigger their fan
ning record. the surer their chance to
rise. So they drive them in with fear
ful speed. averaging. think, far faster
than the average pitching you face in
the majors. That would be only logi-
cal. for the big league pitchers are the
same men who formerly ran wild In
the bushes. with their ideas toned
down. and, in many cases, with their
arm and shoulder muscles slowed up
from that early exertion.
"They send in the ball hit-or-miss.
with headlong speed. and keep the
batter too busy lodging to do much
effective hitting. Meanwhile, the UNI
pires are helping them all they can.
In the smaller leagues the umpires

ing for league ball, and from all indi-
cations there will be a regular cir

some of the teams on the peninsula is
much keener than big league games.
Another incident is that clean sports
