Recipe for Getting Over the Blues

IF you ever get the blues" he said,
1T is we'll to know the simplest and
best way to get rid of them. Cranki-
ness, nervousness and general upset
condition preceding the blues usually
are due to the relentless grip of con,
stipatlon on the nervous system. The
simplest way to meet this condition Is
to have a box OF Rexall Orderlies In
your pocket and the best way is to
take one when you feel the attack com
ing on. 1t is the finest laxative for
men, women and children | know of,
and is a regular antidote for the blues

Players Will Be Rated Accord
ing to Their Deeds On
the Field

According to the proposed system of
compensation which will be put into
effect for the Salem Inter-City base,
ball league hits will be worth about a
dollar each and errors may cost the
player piece of change. The proposed
system is that outside of the battery
and captain who have fixed percent
ages the other members of the team
viii be paid according to their value
to the team. If player goes bad in
one game, however he is not ruined
forever as he may prove to be valu-
able man in the next one, neither is a
player able to play one star game and
then stuff for the remainder of the
season and draw his percentage on his
reputation.
= Pitcher Barham, Catcher Hauser and
Captain Humphreys will have their per
centages fixed for the season. The three
next best in each game will receive a
greater percentage than the three re-
naming ones who do not play such a
steady game The positions in the per
centage column will be judged upon
hitting, fielding, base running and gen
eral ability.
The board to decide the relative posi-
tions of the players is composed of
Manager Otto Klett, Secretary Ray
Baker, Captain Johnny Humphreys,
