Hartford, Aug. 12-Bridgeport had to fight hard to get an even break with Hartford yesterday and the sec- ond contest was carried to ten inn tngs before the Hustlers were able to take half the honors of the arter- noon. Hartford pounded Turner hard in the opener and won by to 2. Manager Healy told the big fellow if he didn't show something he would draw his release. After the disaster there is no doubt that Turner will walk the plank.
 Smith, the Hartford first baseman. went into the box and fooled the Bridgeport boys. Although they got ten hits they were unable to bunch the blows. The score:

BROWNS GREAT SPURT.

It begins to look as if the winning streak of the St. Louis Browns is not flash in the pan after all. After ringing up 14 straight games. Fielder Jones' men have gone at their task again. They took five straight from Washington and put Cleveland through for a double defeat yester- day. This gave the Browns a tie for fourth place. They are only four and a half games behind the leaders now.
 The Browns started their dash at the Polo grounds in the latter part Of July. At that time they were so firmly anchored in seventh place that everybody figured they had rooted there for the rest of the campaign. Since then they have climbed to the first division. Jones has some great players in Marsans, Pratt and the celebrated Sisler. His pitching staff. headed by Davenport and the aged Eddie Plank, is also strong. If the Browns can hold their own on the coming eastern trip they may sur prise the sporting world by winning the flag.

attorney of 1906 were so popular
that he was retired to private life by

was.
"My most distressing symptom was

PEANUTS.

Clemson College, S. c., June 90
Peanuts will grow we'll on nearly
every type of soil in this State, and
especially well on sandy loan soils.
The demand for peanuts is con-
stantly on the increase.
There are a numebr of varieties
Of peanuts, but the most prolific is
the Spanish. Three other good va
rieties are the Valencia, Carolina
and Virginia No. 1.
There is no crop that will resist
drouth so successfully as will the
peanut. The average yield is about
40 bushels per acre, but on good land
that is properly fertlized the yield
would be doubled If the land is sour,
lime should be applied at the rate of
1000 to 1000 pounds to the acre
broadcast. If the land is not sour,
800 pounds of lime should be applied
in the drill to help prevent pops. The
vines are very rich in protein and
make hay about as rich as eowpea or
clover hay. An application of 300
pounds of 16 per cent acid phosphate
should be applied in the drill at plant
ting time, and on very thin land about
200 pounds of cotton seed meal.
If the crop is to be fed to hogs,
the vines should be cut and cured
for hay. The hogs should then be
turned in to harvest the peanuts. If
the crop is to be marketed, the nuts
should be harved on the vines and al
lowed to cure before they are picked.

Look back at your childhood days.
Remember the dose" mother insisted
on-castor oil, calomel, cathartics.
How you hated them, how you fought
against taking them.
With our children it's different.
Mothers who cling to the old form OF
physic simply don't realize what they
do. The children's revolt is well-found-
ed Their tender little "insides' are
injured by them.
If your chiId's stomach, liver and

action is positive, but gentle. Millions
OF mothers keep this harmless fruit

love to take it; that it never fails to
clean the liver and bowels and sweet
