was invincible.
His strength, however, began to
wane during the season Of 1918 and
Connie Mack depended upon him to
save games started by other pitchers
and rarely called upon him to start
contests. The same practice was fol-
lowed in 1914. When preparing for
the worlds series of last October,
Bender was dispatched to New York
to watch the Braves and detect their
weaknesses. Bender, however, was a
victim Of overconfidence and instead
Of watching the National league
champions, he put in the afternoon

the Braves hammered the famous In

HOW TO DESTROY
THE DANDRUFF GERM
BY A SPECIALIST

That the dandruff germ is respon-
sible for nearly all the diseases to
which the scalp is heir, as well as for
badness and premature gray hair, is a
well known fact, but when we realize
that it is also indirectly responsible for
many other diseases as well. we appre-
ciate the Importance of any agent that
will destroy its, power. We are there
fore, particularly pleased to give here
with the prescription which an eminent
scientist states he has found after re-
peated tests. to completely destroy the
dandruff germ in from one to three APP
pications. 1t will also almost immedi-
ately stop falling hair and it has in
numerous cases produced a new hair
growth after years of partial badness.
This prescription can be made up at
home, or any druggist will put 1t up for
you: 6 ounces Bay Rum, ounces La
vonna de Composee, one-half drachm
Menthol Crystals Mix thoroughly, and
after standing an hour 1t is ready for
use. Appl" night and morning, rubbing
into the. scalp with the flnger-tips. If
YOU wish IL perfumed, add / drachm of
your favorite perfume. While this
preparation is not dye It is unequalled
for restoring gray hair to its original
color.-Advertisemen

WHAT NEURASTHENIA is

Neurasthenia a condition of ex-
haustion of the nervous system. The
causes are varied. Continuous work,
mental or physical, without proper
vacation periods without proper at
tention to diet and exercise. also wor-
ry over the struggle for success, are
the most common causes EXcesses of
aImoTt any kind may produce 1t.
Some diseases, like the grip, will cause
Ineurasthenia. So also will a severe
shock, intense anxiety or grief.
The symptoms are over-sensitive-
ness, irritability, disposition to wor-
ry over trifies, headaches, possibly
nausea.
The treatment Is one of nutrition of
the nerve cells, requiring a non-alco-
holic tonic. AS the nerves get their
nourishment from the blood the treat
ment must be directed toward building
up the blood. DR.. Williams Pink Pills
act directly on the blood and with
proper regulation of the diet have
proved of the greatest benefit in many
cases of neurasthenia. A tendency to
anemia, or bloodlessness, shown by
most neurasthenic patients, is also
corrected by these tonic pills. Your
own druggist sells DR.. Williams Pink
Pills.
Two useful books Diseases of the
Nervous System" and What to Eat
and How to Eat" will be sent free by

Special to The Telegraph

Berlin. Feb. 29.-According to adj
vices received here, Captain Smith, of
the American steamship Evelyn has
informed the German authorities that
his ship came to grief through the ad-

northerly course as laid down in the
German instructions
The disaster took place at o'clock
Friday morning and the Evelyn sank
seven hours later. Two mines were
struck. Captain Smith, o Dutch pilot
and ! men drifted in a rowboat until
Saturday afternoon, when they were
rescued by a German patrol boat. A
