CHARLOTTESVILLE, March 8.
If there is one lad here who works
any harder than Raymond Carville
"Cutie" Morgan, drag him out.
Morgan reported here the middle
Of last week. Since then he has
taken of eight pounds, according to
the scales this morning. Consistent
drudgery has turned the trick and
he promises to be down to weight
when the season opens. Morgan still
has the round, rosy cheeks Of a girl,
but Manager Griffith insists he will
be haggard before the hard work
ends for him.
Rays practice is harder and longer
than that of any other player on
the squad. He engages in the "pep-
per game" the moment he starts in
and Is the last to quit. A siege
with the medicine ball-no child's
sport, either-is followed by jump
ing, twisting, basketball drill. Then
comes the real stuff.
"To the track for yours" shouts
Trainer NJ. Ferdinand Martin, and to
the running track it is.
Galloping around that track up
stairs in the gym is firing for any
athlete. To Ray, toting weight for
age, it is worth a million dollars.
But the Baltimorean does not quit.
He sticks to it until the word comes
to hit the shower.
No fine cold shower and rundown
comes to "Cutie," though, until his
last torture has been completed. It's
hot bath for him and then a quiet
rest for fifteen minutes smothered in
blankets that keep the heat in and
make him shed poundage as q duck
does water.
"Ray'll be all o. K. when the bell
rings" says Martin. II don't let him
sweat long enough to weaken him
and he is fast getting into condi.
tion."
At the same time, looking at those
pudgy cheeks generally carrying q
laugh, one sees at glance that Ray
is in for some grinding before ht
leaves town.

SPINACH CALLED
ELIXIR OF GOOD
LOOKS BY CHEMIST
Scientist Urges Well-Known
Vegetable as Means of De-
veloping Rosy Cheeks and
Healthy Blood
DOCTORS DENY VALUE

Prominent medical men of Philadelphia
are great believers in class distinction.
That is when it comes to spinach. They
would keep it distinctly in its class as a
wholesome. delicious vegetable. Nothing
more.
A prominent physiological chemist, how
ever. places it far above its brother and
sister vegetables. Not only does he see
in II the elimination to that long quest
for fountain of youth, but advocates a
"spinach-eating regime" the Inaugural
tion of which will put the beauty doctor
out of business.
Somehow or other the woman with rosy
cheeks-naturally rosy, of course-seems
to belong to a past era.
Madame's rouge box, admittedly, has
done land over-done) much in the way
of substitution, but IL has been left to
this physiological chemist to discover
that spinach-common. ordinary, every
day spinach-is natures own remedy
against the pallid face and coarse skin,
all too common among our women.
The story In a nutshell is this. An
anemic condition is the usual cause OF
that lack of pinkishness OF the skin
known as color" and this anemic con-
dition Is due 10 deficiency of iron In

Now, contends this student OF the sub

est amount of organic iron, eat unspar-

times a week. and prestol Enriched

blood alone builds up the body, and
the blood depends for its quality wholly
upon the food assimilated. For this
reason eating for a complexion Is a
wholly rational procedure.
