This Is a Bad Month

The indoor life of winter, with lack
of outdoor exercise, puts a heavy load
on the kidneys. Nearly everybody suf-
fers from rheumatism, backache, pain
in sides and back, kidney and bladder
ailments. A backache may not mean
anything serious, but it certainly does
not mean anything good. It's better to
be on the safe side and take Foley Kid
ney Pills to strengthen and invigorate
the kidneys and help them do their
work. They help rid the blood of acids
and poisons. Sold by Geo. A. Gorgas,

Mrs. Frank is a member OF one
of the best Jewish families in Atlanta.
A woman OF refinement and pride
and despite untold sufferings in the
two years since Mary Phagan was
murdered she has kept faith in her
husband and worked and suffered to

During the trial, when vile stories

them with frank recltals of the clean

Never did she let one bit OF doubt
concerning her husband creep into her

erase such suspicious from the minds

Every day since the day of her hus-

her power to comfort him and keep
him buoyed up.
During the trial, when mobs, packed

With the utmost respect for Cra-

Two stars, each unrivalled in his

The National League has had the
best catchers in the game for some
years, and though the passing of
Archer and the rise of Schalk give
the American League a grand oppor-
tunity, IL is impossible to overlook
the claims OF Snyder
Snyder worked in one hundred and
forty-four contests. He batted for
an even three hundred. He is ac-
knowledged TO be one OF the greatest
mechanical catchers the circuits have
ever seen.
II Schalk with all his great ability
can equal Snyder il is due to some
nicely OF judgment or some mastery
Of baseball knowledge which does not
appear In the records From the story
the figures tell us, and from the view
OF both men in action, we must prefer
Snyder.

HICHLETS OFF FOR The
CHESTER GRIDIRON Game

Accompanied by approximately 800
students Of the school and the High
School band of IA pieces, the eleven of
the Wilmington High School went to
Chester this afternoon to combat their
long and bitter rivals, the Chester High
School team, on the gridiron. Follow
ing the game, banquet will be given
the local players by the Chester boys
in the Chester Club. This custom was
inaugurated several years ago by the
obstetrics, and it has become a custom
now for the home team to banquet their
friendly-bitter rivals.
The local crowd and band left on the
l.3O o'clock Wilson Line boat. At the
Chester wharf the students will form
into line and headed by the band will
march to the field. The music for the
Chester boys will be furnished by the
Glen Mills Band, and the usual large
crowd OF friends of Chester will be on
hand to cheer ON their eleven.
The Chester team will be without the
services of Irwin, their star quarter
back. in today's game. Earlier in the
season he suffered an injury TO his nose,
and in practicing for the Wilmington
game he again received a setback on
this account. Gray, another heady man,
will fill his shoes.
