NEW BOWLING GAME OF AGE
Regulation Alleys Invented and Gen.
orally Adopted in 1895-NotEing
to Disturb Serenity.

Bowling will celebrate it's twenty
first birthday in the year 1916, regu-
lation alleys being invented and gen.
orally adopted in 1895. With it's COM
ing of age the game also reaches the
point where it has not cloud to dis
turb it's serenity. The last possible
source of trouble died with the dodo
ball two years ago.
A tendency is noticeable in the big
tournaments to exclude picked entries
from cities of large population, in an
endeavor to force the big towns to
compete on more even terms with
cities the size of Omaha, Cincinnati,
Louisville and others of like class
The American Bowling congress has
already banned clubs from Greater
New York, while the midwestern tour
nament may take similar action
against Chicago this coming year.

TENER AIDED PLAYERS
Made Original Fight to Restore
All Contract Jumpers.
Many of Men Who Went With Feden
ais Jared Better Than Those VINO
Remained Loyal to Their
CIubs-No Third League.

Organized baseball has put the feu-
eral league out of the business. NO
matter if it did offer concessions tne
fact is that the independents battle
crv of the necessity for third league
was licked by the American pubic.
There is no third league now, and tne
independents, beaten, give clear
field again to the National and Ameri-
can leagues.
The ending of the baseball war,
which cost the deluded hackers or the
Federal league between S2,000,0oO ana
$4,000 900, was a personal triumph
for President John K. Tener of the
National league. 1t was manly
through his personality, diplomacy
and Observation-Disclosures that peace De-
came fact. 1t was Tener, former
player himself, who made the original
fight to restore all jumping players 10
good standing. Every man who jumped
to the Federal league has Tener to
thank that he isn't barred from base
ball today.
Taking a peek at the situation, the
jumping ballplayer has been eXtraorol-
narily well treated. He jumped to the
Feds for a sky-high salary and his con-
tract is going to be respected by or
gained baseball. Financially many
of the jumpers Jared better than the
players who were loyal to their clubs
and declined to jump. The Jumpers
are back in the major leagues again
and receiving Federal league salaries.
The major leagues have this to fear.
Should another rival rear up in base
ball, won't player be disposed to
recall the luck of the Federal league
jumpers and leap to the opposition,

Explanation Unfinished.

Mr.. and Mrs. Compton had gone out
on the platform to take the air. Mrs
Compton returned to the car first and
sat down squarely in what she thought
was her husbands chair.
That she had made a mistake was
speedily proved by the irate voice OF
the man who had walked along the
aisle behind her.
Madame" he said. you are sitting
on my hat!"
Mrs. Compton rose and took from
the seat a crushed and crumpled OBJ
ject.
Oh" she said breathlessly, as she
gazed at the forlorn object. I'm very
sorry. You see, thought all the time
it was my husbands mean"
But what she really meant she never
fully explained, for the outraged own

he jumped.
But there may not be new rival
for some time. The heavy losses sus-
tanned by the Feds should pretty near

other major league. Baseball is not a
close corporation If any wealthy man
aspires to be an American baseball
figure, he won't find much trouble be-
ing able to purchase a franchise in
the American or National league.

Not a Bite of
Breakfast Until
You Drink Water
Says a glass Of hot water and
phosphate prevents illness
and keeps US fit.

Just as coal, when it burns, leaves
behind a certain amount of incom-
bustible material in the form of ashes,
SO the food and drink taken day after
day leaves in the alimentary canal a
certain amount of indigestible mate
rial, which if not completely eliminat-
ed from the system each day, becomes
food for the millions of bacteria which
infest the bowels. From this mass of
leftover waste, toxins and ptomaine-
like poisons are formed and sucked
into the blood.
Men and women who can't get feel
ing right must begin to take inside
baths. Before eating breakfast each
morning drink a glass of real hot wa
ter with teaspoonful of limestone
phosphate in it to wash out of the
thirty feet of bowels the previous days
accumulation of poisons and toxins
and to keep the entire alimentary
canal clean, pure and fresh.
Those who are subject to sick head
ache, colds. biliousness, constipation,
others who wake up with bad taste,
foul breath, backache, rheumatic stiff
ness, or have a sour, gassy stomach
after meals, are urged to get quarter
pound Of limestone phosphate from
any druggist or storekeeper, and be-
gin pTacticing internal sanitation.
This will cost very little, but is sufi-
cient to make anyone an enthusiast
on the subject.
Remember inside bathing is more
important than outside bathing, be-
cause the skin pores do not absorb
impurities into the blood, causing poor
health, while the bowel pores do.
Just as soap and hot water cleanses,
sweetens and freshens the skin, so
hot water and limestone phosphate
act on the stomach, liver kidneys and
bOWels.-Adv.

WHEN KIDNEYS ACT BAD
TAKE GLASS OF SALTS

No man or woman who eats meat
regularly can make mistake by flush
ing the kidneys occasionally, says
well-known authority. Meat forms
uric acid which clogs the kidney pores
so they sluggishly filter or strain only
part of the waste and poisons from
the blood, then you get sick. Nearly
all rheumatism, headaches, liver trou-
BILE, nervousness, constipation, dizzi-
ness, sleeplessness, bladder disorders
come from sluggish Kidneys.
The moment you feel a dull ache in
the kidneys or your back hurts, or if
the urine is cloudy, offensive, full of
sediment, irregular of passage or at
tended by a sensation of scalding, get
about four ounces of Jad Salts from
any reliable pharmacy and take

tralize the acids in urine so it no
longer causes irritation, thus ending
bladder disorders.

In the old Bohemian city Saaz, on the

HARVARD is WEAK I'M SPORTS
Makes Poor Showing in Swimming,
Gymnastics and Basket Ball
Other Colleges Make Advance.

Harvard, strong in football, track
athletics, baseball, rowing and hockey,
the major sports (hockey is major
sport at Haryard), makes poor show
ing in several OF the so-called minor
sports, such as swimming, gymnastics,
wrestling and basket ball, all health
El, worth while forms of competition.
Proficiency at swimming has gone
ahead fast in recent years at several
colleges, Yale, Columbia, Princeton,
Penn and College of the City Of New
York, for instance. Doubtless this is
due to those institutions having fine
pools, and maybe the backwardness
of Harvard in this lire of intercol-
legiate sport is due to shortage OF
facilities.
