IF KIDNEYS ACT
BAD TAKE SALTS
Says Backache is Sign You Have Been
Eating Too Much Meat.

When you wake up with backache
and dull misery in the kidney region it
generally means you have been eating
too much meat, says well-known au-
thority. Meat forms uric acid which
overworks TIE kidneys in their effort
to filter it from the blood and they
become sort of paralyzed and loggy.
When your kidneys get sluggish and
clog you must relieve them, like you
relieve your bowels; removing all the
bodys urinous waste, else you have
backache, sick headache, dizzy spells:
your stomach sours, tongue is coated,
and when the weather is bad you have
rheumatic twinges. The urine is
cloudy, full Of sediment, channels Of
ten get sore, water scalds and you
are obliged to seek relief two or three
IiALCo uuI ing lue ulSHI.
Either consult good, reliable physi-
clan at once or get from your pharma-
cist about four ounces of Jad Salts;
lake a tablespoonful in a glass of wa
ter before breakfast for a few days
and your kidneys will then act fine.
This famous salts is made from the
acid of gra )es and lemon juice, COM
bined with lithia, and has been used
for generations to clean and stimulate
sluggish kidneys, also to neutralize
acids in the urine so it no longer ir-
ritates, thus ending bladder weakness.
Jad Salts is life saver for regular
meat eaters. 1t is inexpensive, can
not injure and makes a delightful, eff
fervescent lithia-water drink.

Up to date manager John Wagnon
has received twelve signed contracts
from men that want trials with the
1915 Muckalees.
All os the men come highly recon-
mended and Wagnon believes that
from the list he will be able to get
several star players.
Twenty more men have accented
terms and the signing of contracts
will be only a formality.
Wagnon has ordered the men to re-
port in Americas Monday April 70, two
weeks before the season opens.
Among the men signed are three
pitchers, two catchers, five inielders
and two outflelders.
The pitchers signed are Dozier
Paschall and Red Mosley. Dozier is
an amateur from Dawson and comes
highly touted. He is stocky built
chap with plenty of speed and nerve.
Paschall is a local boy with a rangy
build and promises to make someone
hustle for a job.
Red Moslely is we'll known here in
Americas. He is the former Mercer
star. Red hurls from the portside.
Irish Monahan, local boy and a
big fellow named Archer have signed
as catchers. Wagnon also has lines
out for anot' er receiver, an old head.
Barnard third baseman comes from
Dothan, Ala. This chap was signed
before the Alabama city bought the
Cordele franchise. The Alamaba club
has been trying to buy this fellows
release from Americas.
Schwartz, a first baseman, comes
highly recommended by manager
Wordsworth of Birmingham. He is a
big 100 pound giant
Fix, from Jacksonville, is another
big first baseman highly touted by
wise ones.
Red Powell, who starred in the
Georgia-Alabama two years ago, will
try out for short.
Twiggs, formerly second baseman
with the Fort Moultrie regiment team,
is said to be conner.
Wagnon is trying to line Bob Geary,
Charlie West, and Mel Pratt up for his
team. These three will be screams If
they can be signed. Geary is anxious
to return. Manager Wagnon believes
that he will sign without any trouble.
John and the directors are sanguine
that the Muckalees will be an A No /
ball club. That they will be out there
fighting for the lead from the very
first is their firm belief.

include the sale of all drinks, CAN
dies, cigars, etc, and to be restricted
to no one drink. The club reserves
the right to accept or reject any and
all bids, which must be in writing,
sealed and delivered to H. f. Allen,
Secretary, and will be opened on
March 9th, 1915. ..

assist the association. The girls are
conducting the sale of these Booster
tickets. They are vieing with each
other to see who will be the lucky
winners of the season passes that will
be given the girls selling the greatest

Every man in Americas now has a
chance to show his loyalty to the
city. Baseball is the one best adver-
Using a city can have. During these
times city has to fight hard to hold

possession of Americas, and must
play with the Muckalee, if he plays at
all. OF course. the Alabama lawyer
can buy his release or Jacksonville
can buy it from the directors. That
is probably the course that will be
taken, for Americas cannot pay Mel
his price, and the directors do not
want to keep him from making a liv-

tract back signed. The boy announces
that he is RIGHT and expects to have
a good year with the Muckalees.
The local directors are trying hard
to get Charley West to sign Mucka-
lee contract for 1915. West at least
wants as much as he got last year, but
the new salary limit forbids this.
Wagnon realizes that with Charlie in
the infield, he will have a good steady
player as nucleus around which to
perfect his inner defense. West" Or
Joplin, as he will be called this year
is one sweet ball player and Americas
needs him.

Listen all you fans.

Listen all you fans.
The good ladies of Americas have
guaranteed league baseball for Amer
icus.
They have pledged themselves to
sell at least 1000 Booster tickets dur
ing the week.
And they are already on the job.
This morning at ten o'clock they gath
cred at the Library and laid plans for
their campaign. Then they got busy.
And despite cold, chilling winds, the
girls were out all day selling the
tickets.
The Hospital association has dou-
BILE purpose in conducting this Boos-
ter campaign for the Baseball associa-
tionl They want to save the franchise
for Americas and they want to see that
% per cent. in the hospital treasury.
For the association is to receive
twenty-five cents on every ticket sold.
SO the purchase of Booster ticket
helps two worthy organizations at the
same time. The fans who buys helps
finance the ball club and also helps
finance Americas brag hospital.

Waycross has selected Fred Brewer
as president Of their club. Brewer IL
an experienced baseball man, knows
the game from one end of the field to
the other, and is rafting good fell
low. We congratulate Waycross on
their selection for a big boss.
Brunswick has been dickering with
Reynolds for some time. The Pilots
want the big fellow to manage their
club. Reynolds was valuable man
there last year and will give them A
good club if signed to manage. Sieg-
fried is probably the only other Pilot
that will return to the fold.
Valdosta will probably have more
veterans ON her lineup this year than
any other club in the league. Lowe,
Kelley, Love, Lipsey and McMillen
will probably all be back with the
Millionaires.
The Waycross Journal-Hera1d has
the following to say apropos the sign
ing of Johnnie Wagnon to manage
Americus:
When Johnnie Wagnon blows to
town let's declare a holiday and cele-
brate. John is said to be ANXIOUS 60
repeat the pennant stunt for Americas,
and while we don't say he won't make
the effort, we would rather he had
second place-just next to Waycross.
Does it sound right?"
They concede us to finish one, two.
That's pretty good, coming from Way
eros, but John has his eyes on the top
of the ladder.
The Brunswick News says Cordele
has quit advertising and explains the
remark. Cordele has sold her base
ball franchie.
Up to date the roster of managers
for teams n the Georgia State League
is as follows:
Valdosta-Guy Sample.

The Valdosta Times says of their
manager:
"Out of batch of applications for
manager of the local team, Guy Sam

and has an excellent reputation both
as player and manager. He is highly
recommended by Manager Dudley,

ROCHESTER, MILL HAS
BEGUN OPERATIONS

Ore will begin tc be put through
the new mill at Rochester today and
for "a hours every day hereafter, ex-
cept when it is necessary to make
repairs, the 10-stamp mill will pound
out an average of 100 tons. The
mill has work in sight for three
years, and development in Rochester
indicates sufficient ore will be taken
from the mines there to make the
camp a rival to Tonopah as a silver
producer.
Rochester has entered the family
of permanent milling camps with
out ceremony. The original date set
for the opening of the mill slipped
by two months ago, but it was not
the fault of the men who built the
plant. There were numerous de-
lays from different causes but the
people of Lower Rochester knew the
delays were unavoidable and waited
patiently. Rochester has been a
shipping camp since its discovery,
but only the best of the ore was sent
to the sampler at Hazen. More
than 1OO,O 900 tons of milling ore
is on the dumps of the three big
leases and double that amount Is
staked out within the mines. 1t has
been a case of wait for the compile
ton of the, mill in order to dispose
of the huge tonnage already ex-
tracted-Reno Gazette.
