HEALTH INSURANCE

Some people are naturally thin. There is also a natural pallor but most people who are both thin and pale are far from we'll and they need tonic.
 Many people neglect to take tonic until they get so sick that tonic IS not sufficient just because the demand of the debilitated body is not insistent enough: The pale face, weak nerves, enfeebled digestion are neglected until the point where pain or actual breakdown requires medical treatment. A tonic taken Tn time is the best health insurance. It supports the overtaxed system, the wor- ried nerves until nature can make re- pairs.
 Build up the blood and you are send ing renewed health and strength to every part of the body. The appetite is inn proved, the digestion is toned up, there is new color i'll the cheeks and lips, you worry less, become good natured where before you were irritable and you ma new joys in living.
 Tonic treatment is useful in dyspepsia, rheumatism, anemia and nervous dis orders. In many cases it is all the medi- cal treatment that is required.
 Free booklets on the blood, nerves and diet will be sent on request by the Dr.. Williams Medicine Co.,, Schenectady, N. Y. Your own druggist sells Dr. Will iams' Pink Pills.

WOUNDED AND MISSING.

London, Oct. II, S:39 a. m.-Rud- yard Kipling, has received no further news of his 19 year old son, who was wounded and reported missing in the north of France. He was only slight ly wounded when last seen, and his parents are hopeful that he suffered no more serious fate than being taken prisoner by the Germans. Mr. Kipling sent to the Associa.ed Press today the following message: 'I should be obliged if you would make public in America the fact that up to date my son John is reported wounded and missing, not wounded and believed killed as stated in the press few days ago.

The uncertainty of the celestial dope was again proved beyond any finger ing doubt, if there was any lingering doubt left, after that first baseball battle on Friday Vast wads of copy paper had been used up explaining how Alexander was to curb the Red Sox batsmen and how Gabby Cravath was to pulverize the well known pill.
 Alexander won and CraVath's tap was timely factor, but consider the lowly details. The Red Sox hit Alex ander as hard as the Phillies hit Shore, and Cravaths wallop, in place of being a mighty smash over the wall, was a tap so slow and so swiftly lit that the infielder couldn't get to ir in time to make the play.
 There were other queer features to that first battle, showing other seg- ments of the national pastime in it's most uncertain moments. In that game the hard, rugged blows, the ones pounded directly upon the trade mark, played little part in the SCOT ing. But the blows that did the damage were the badly hit balls that travelled too slowly to be handled Evidently, there are various ways of reaching a given point without taking the direct and the open road. At times the zig gag course is the one that is best to take
 Alexander and Matty.
 There were many commenting upon how much the Alexander of 1915 looked like the Mathewson Of 1905, especially in the way of physical ap pearance. Both also happened to have the same general appearance at bat. Alexander, like Mathewson, has the same cool, assured way of going to battle, and of sizing up the situa- tion. But in other ways, as pitchers, there is quite a difference. Mathew son uses the overland motion, while Alexander is distinctly a side arm pitcher. And Alexander, while having wonderful assortment of the pitch ing essentials, is still a bit shy on control when compared with the M Mathewsonian standard. Alexander gave two passes in his first battle,

whereas Matty yielded but one pass In his first three world series games.
 The shift of the series to Boston to- day should furnish one of the great Lattles of the year. The Red Sox fighting at home will be hard to stop, but in this next start Alexander is sure to be harder to hit than he was On Friday. The Philly star had taken a rest before this series, and hereto fore he has always done his best Work after a short respite of two or three days It was easy enough to see that he was not at his top stride-Just @ bit uncertain as to his control
 With that Friday game packed away, Alexander should be able to re- port today at his best, which means the hardest man in baseball to hit. So, with the combination of the Red Sox battling upon friendly sod before 10000 fans roofing lustily for the right turn and Alexander pitching one Of his great games, the series should take on more color than it drew at the start.
 Batting Leader a Puzzle.
 The man who can pick the batting leader. of this series will be a first class guesSer. So far no Franklin Bakers or Hank Gowdys have set their frontispieces against the hori- zen. The pitching is almost sure to be better on both sides than most W orld series have drawn, and those who range above 300 can be counted upon the thumbs of any one set of hands.
 Among those we happened to bump into at Philad clphia was a certain peppe~y shortstop known as Walter Maranville. I'd a lot rather be out on the field playing than sitting here looking on,' he said.
 But I guess a years rest in the big series won't hurt. For you can gamble that we'll be back there meet ing some American league champions next year. With Evers right. with Rili James back and with young Nehf tackled on there'll be nothing to it. And we are due for a good start next season after the starts we got in 1914 and 1915.'

 Travel through the street has been practically tied up for several weeks and on occasions the fire apparatus and police patrol has been badly ham pered in the performance of duties.
