game scheduled for George StOVaIPs
team in Marshall, Tex, Sunday has
been cancelled. The Fed manager
figures that his~men can do just as
well for themselves In Shreveport, as
weather conditions have been none
too good in the Texas city.
So far Tinker has been unable to
put on a full nine-inning game. He
has shot off morning and afternoon
ffVe-frame affairs, but each time he
plans to go the full route up comes a
chilly wind and the battle is bob
tailed.
This lack Of practice seems to be
affecting the batters more than the
pitchers. Such renowned swatters at
Zwilling, Wickland and Art Wilson
have had trouble focusing their
eyes on the curving pill, while Hen
dirk, Brennan, Rankin Johnson, Nor
decai Brown and some Of the young
sters have taken excellent care of
their arms. Hendrix is in better con-
ditiOn than any pitcher in the squad,
thanks to the two weeks he spent in
Hot Springs before. reporting at the
training camp.
The manner in which Hendrix has
been pointed this spring indicates
thathe will draw some. heavy assign
ments early in the season, Just as he
did last year. Claude can pitch often
er than any man on the team, and he
will receive some valuable help from
Ad Brennan this year.
With the switch in franchises in
the Federal league it is probable some
changes will also be made in the per-
sonnet of the teams. George Stovau

We are a nation of meat eaters and
our blood is filled with uric acid, says a
well-known authority, who warns us to
be constantly on guard against kidney
trouble.
The kidneys do their utmost to free
the blood of this irritating acid, but
become weak from the overwork; they
get sluggish; the eliminative tissues
clog and thus the waste is retained in
the blood to poison the entire system.

bad weather, get from your pharmacist
about four ounces OF Jad Salts; take a
tablespoonful in a glass of water before
breakfast each morning and in few
days. your kidneys will act fine. This

Many of the Slough converts were in
the audience, which is a hopeful fea-

time from DR.. Scofeld will be of untold
value in their lives and to large de
gree this is true of one and all of his
hearers. DR.. Scofield dwelt last even
ing upon the twelve historical books in
the Old Testament, explaining their
worth and giving their true value, at
the same time setting forth in a clear
and concise manner the great characters
of each book and telling in most in
teresting way the story of their lives.
He did not forget the fundamental
doctrines set forth in every book and
he illuminated the history of Israel

rarely found to be so manifest in one
man.
Everybody should hear him, both the
