Red Kelly's face more serious grew.
He thought he'd killed the kid.
But 1t was found the ball had
Merely smashed the young ones
lid.
The batter hit the next one,
Away up in the sky.
And ran like thunder down the line,
But he was doomed to die.

Two umpires they had planned to
have,
The other old Jim Gray,
Failed to show up and some one said
That he had lost his way.
The men from Pohonk went to bat,
There was great Murray.
They thought they'd get right In the
lead,
And stay there all the way.
It was a dream, lovely dream,
And maybe twill come true.
But we shall see what we shall see,
II we stick till It's through.
Red Kelly poised the ball on high,
And grinned a lovely grin,
And fired the sphere across the plate
A shooting out and in.
The batter was not on his guard,
But just to show his nerve,
But vainly at that curve.
Red Kellys grin much wider grew,
His cup of bliss was full,
He felt his team would win the game
If no one made bull.
Another ball he then served up,
And caused it to defect.
The batsman made a mighty swing.
But didn't quite connect.
The third ball slipped, it must have
slipped,
For it was so far wild,
It went into the big grandstand,
And hit harmless child.

The next man UP was Dummy Wright.
He got his base on balls,
And waltzed up to the first sack,
Mid cheers and loud cat calls.
The bleachers drew q long breath,
When Shrimp Clark went to bat,
He seemed determined to do well,
And tightly grasped tho slat.
He took q chance and swung away.
And caught the spheroid square,
He sent it speeding toward short,
Or out that way somewhere.
There was man upon that team,
He was 50 wondrous wise,
He stopped most Of the grounders.
And caught most Of the flies.
But Freckled Mike was not that kind,
He went right off his pegs,
And so the ball--a sizzling one,
Went straight between his legs.
And Shrimp Clark galloped OF to first,
And then to second bag.
He pranced around as lightly,
AS some young risky ma.
And Dummy Wright, ahead Of him,
Should sure have scored run,
But stopped when he had crawled to
third,
AS If he weighed q ton.
Three balls were served to Slippery
Smith,
He struck at each and all.
He couldn't have touched any one
II he'd been twice as tall.
Continued Meat Week.

They fought to get their tickets.
And hustled through the gate,
As If each man in all that throng,
Was fearful he was late.
And small boys without money,
Outside the wicket stood,
And begged the men to take them IN
Because they were so good.
Sometimes an anxious youngster,
To some big guy would say,
I'D thank you if you let, sir,
Your rain check come this way"
And some who couldn't get in,
Got up upon q pole.
Prepared to drink In all the FUN,
And pleasure that they stole.
The house tops and the fences,
Around the big ball ground,
Were loaded with sightseers,
From all the country round.
One small lad who was thrifty,
And had the money scent,
A great big knot hole cornered,
And offered It for rent.
Inside the gate the score card,
Was promptly put on sale,
And takers, offered to the folks.
Peanuts and ginger ale.

Copyright, 1915, by Dwight Burroughs
The band played Annie Laurie,
And many other airs,
And everybody shouted loud.
And all forgot their cares.
So there was more excitement,
Than had been in Slabville.
Since Justifla Bumples.
Eloped with Doctor Pill.
And very well there might be,
Excitement in the throng,
For Slabville was to play Pohonk,
A game they'd looked for long.
And every man in slabville.
And every woman too,
Was confident a victory
For their team was in view.
And every man from Pohonk,
And every woman fair,
Believed most confidently,
Success was in the air.
The peanut man stopped short his
cry,
The bandmen ceased to play,
And every one assembled there,
Did strict attention pay.
1t was a moment of suspense,
And an-ti-ci-pati ton,
For all who'd gathered at the grounds,
For pleasure and for fun.
For days they'd waited for that hour,
For days they'd prayed and hoped,
And now were anxious that the game,
Would go as they had doped.
The umpire man was short and thin,
His name was Charlie Dink.
He favored neither side, and came
From Catlettsburg, think.

Tor Smoky Sam out in right field,
His eye got on the ball,
And he was waiting for 1t,
When it began to fall.
Then Ducky Brown picked up the

They thought he'd do lot,
But he went out to center,
Though the ball he hit was hot.

heavy MEAT EATERS
have SLOW kidneys
EAT LESS MEAT IF YOU FEEL
BAck-AchY OR HAVE elAo-
DER TROUBLE.

No man or woman who eats meat
regularly can make a mistake by flush
ing the kidneys occasionally. says q
we'll known authority. Meat forms uric
acid which excites the kidneys. they
become overworked from the strain,
get sluggish and fail to filter the
waste and poisons from the blood. then
we get sick. Nearly all rheumatism,
headaches, liver trouble, nervousness.
dizziness, sleeplessness and urinary
disorders come from sluggish kidneys.
The moment you feel dull ache in
the kidneys or your back hurts or II
the urine is cloudy, offensive, full of
sediment, irregular of passage or at
tended by a sensation of scalding, stop
eating meat and get about four ounces
Of Jad Salts from any pharmacy: take
a tablespoonful in glass Of water be-
fore breakfast and in few days your
kidneys will act fine. This famous
salts Is made from the acid Of grapes
and lemon juice, combined with lithia,
and has been used for generations to
flush and stimulate the kidneys, also
to neutralize the acids in urine so 1t
no longer causes irritation, thus ending
bladder weakness
Jad Salts is inexpensive and cannot
injure: makes delightful effervescent
lithia water drink which everyone
should take now and then to keep the
kidneys clean and active and the blood
pure, thereby avoiding serious kidney
complications.

COUNCIL REScINDs AGREEMENT
FOR MILES OF WALK LET
LATE LAST SUMNER.
CONTRACTORS ESTATE
DOES NOT WANT WORK
To Enforce Contract Would Mean
Lawsuit, So Council Reseinds It.
Will Relet Work and Much More
With It-couneiI Bars Walk Allowed
Laid on Curb by Old Council.

The city council this morning an
nulled sidewalk contract entered
into with R. A Ely Aug. s, 1914,
preparatory to letting substitute con-
tract, and took steps to serve notice
on property owners in outlying sections
Of the city who want sidewalks to get
their requests on file. The Ely con-
tract was for several miles of side
walks in widely separated parts Of the
city.
Ely is now dead and his estate al
leges that when Ely was ready to
build the sidewalks in 1914 the city
held him off by not getting the grad
ing DONE The resolution authorizing
that the contract be rescinded says
that to hold the Ely estate to the con-
tract would mean g. lawsuit.
The resolution authorizes the mayor
and city clerk to enter into stpula-
ton with the estate to annul and can
eel the contract.
Will ReIet Sidewalk Work.
Councilman Ed 7. Austin, who in
PRODUCED the resolution, said he ex-
pected to have a list of The walks to
be included in a new sidewalk contract
ready for the council meeting today,
but it was not.
The council will take steps soon to
let another contract that will include
the list in the old contract, or part OF
it, and probably many others.
The curtailment Of mail service by
carriers into some of the outlying dis
tricts because the streets have no
sidewalks has stirred many property
owners of these districts to appeal to
the city to lay sidewalks in their
streets. The council desires that all
those who want sidewalks file their
applications with the council at once.
Bar Walks on Curb.
Property owners can no longer lay
their sidewalks abutting he curb in
stead Of along their property line. as
few have done, at least not unless the
owner is plating an addition and plats
all the walks on the curb line.
Permission to lay walks on the curb
was granted the public by the old
council after Councilman w. E. Mich
olson and his neighbor. w. I. Bennett,
had been granted permission to lay a
block of such walk in Lincoln street.
This forenoon the council passed a
resolution repeating the resolution OF
the old council passed Sept. rs, 1914

Acid Sto1nachs Are
Dangerous
Common Sense Advice by Distin-
suished Specialist.

"Acid" stomachs are dangerous be-
cause acid irritates and infianes the
delicate lining of the stomach, thus
hindering and preventing the proper
action of the stomach, and leading to
probably nine tenths of the cases OF
stomach trouble from which people
suffer Ordinary medicines and me-
dicinal treatments are useless In such
cases. for they leave the source of the
trouble, the acid in the stomach as
dangerous as ever. The acid must be
neutralized. and it's formation prevent
ed, and the best thing for this purpose
is teaspoonful of bisurated magnesla,
simple antacid, taken in little warm
or cold water after eating. which not
only neutralizes the acid, but also pre-
vents the fermentation from which
acidity is developed. Foods which
ordinarily cause distress may be eaten
with impunity if the meal is followed
with a little bisurated magnesia, which
can be obtained from Mcbride & Will
Drug Co.. or any druggist, and should
always be kept handy.
