being able to make the rounds.
 Sixteen games played and not one lost is the Putnam teams record. It is certeinly record for any team to be proud of. It was an uphill fight for the management but the public soon realized that Pltnam had real team and rallied to it's support.
 Starting base ball under opposition and with small attendance for Il game or two WAS somewhat disheart- ming Manager McDermott however has faith in Putnam fandom and knew that if he delivered the goods he would find willing purchasers Such was the case. From few hundred to start with the crowd was soon swelled to few thousands and gradually all opposition to Sunday buse ball sub- sided.
 IL was q great game last Sunday. All | along the nine inning rout there were points of interest. True there were five misplays but there were many spectacular features to offset these The old Gannonball was swinging his mighty right and only three men con- nected safely with his speed ball.
 Among those whom he sent to the bench by the strikeout route was smil' Ing Joe himself. Speaking of this feature Bedding said: "l know boss that Connolly is a good felIah. He is popular in Putnam with the boys and | hated to strike him out, deed l did | But felt that his hat was too smsl for his haid and when he come up tG bat, well, just naturally had to sttik, him out, that's all"
 Redding has m open date for neX' season and told Manager McDermot that he could have,it. He said, "I'l tell you boss, I'll come up here agair next season and bring my catcher with me. He's little fellah but l wan him behind the bat. You can brinl on any ole team and then you and tht fans can place your last niokle on u' and tell you sure I'll bring you al home the bacon.

SAVES POLISH FAMILY
FROM DEPORTATION
President Rescyes War Zone Victims
from Ellis Island.

Admitted into the United States by the
personal Intervention of President Wilson
after having been held at Ellis Island.
Mrs. Sore Schimelson, a widow from
Wistinetz village. in Polish Suwalk, Rus
sia. began yesterday morning a three
days fast in gratitude for her escape
from the horrors of war. It is probable
that had the President not interested
himself in the refugee, she, with her
two children, Esther, Is, and Reuben, Il.
would have Been deported, as they ar
rived here penn-ess.
The story Of the Schimelson woman
was fraught with tragic adventures
With her husband and two children she
lived happily in the Russian village until
the outbreak of the war
Schimelson, who was a baker, was
accused by Russians Of selling bread to
the Uhlans during the ouccpation by the
German forces. He was taken from his
family and later found dead in the
synagogue, a bullet wound in the head

RECOMMENDED To
HIM BY A FRIEND
Well Known Travelling Sales
man Relates a Very Inter-
esting Story.

Amy person can be well, wholesome
happy. vivacious and successful; have
clear skin and complexion, strong
brain and perfect development. It ia
the heritage of every one, and can be-
attained If nature is assisted in the
proper way. The new herbal system
tonic, Plant Juice, is designed for lust
that purpOse-to assist nature.
1t is a remedy that puts the stomach
in perfect condition, thus acting di-
rectly on the blood, liver and kidneys
Not day passes but what testimonials
from local people are received in the
cities where Plant Juice has been in
troduced, giving glowing accounts Of
how they have been restored to health
Only recently the following signed
statement was received from P H
Vivian, who travels out of Philadelphia
for a Well-known firm, and has hun
dreds of acquaintances and friends in
Washington. He said:
Il have been on the road for a num-
Der of years, and the food that 1 was
forced to eat in various hotels aggra-
waited a bad case of stomach trouble
that l suffered from. My liver was
torpid, and at times l suffered greatly
from pains IN my side and back. The
stomach trouble finally terminated in
an aggravated case of indigestion and
dyspepsia. or at least that was what it
was pronounced. When I would eat
meal the food would ferment in my
stomach. turn sour and gas would form,
which was always painful and very dis
agreeable. What little food I did ear
did not seem to do me any good. :
was nervous and never slept good A
friend of mine recommended Plant
Juice saying he knew of a friend OF
his who had been cured of the same
symptoms that 1 had by it. 1 was in
Pittsburgh and bought bottle I be,
gan to use it, and noticed almost i'm
mediate relief. My trouble is all gone
now, and can eat any kind of food, and
do not have any bad after-effects; sleep
the night through and, in fact 1 am
entirely cured. l am recommending
Plant Juice to all my friends who suffer
with stomach trouble"
The Plant Juice Man is at the Peoples
Drug Store, corner of 7th and Sts.,

local public and introducing and explain

WEASEL WORDS BY
WILSON, SAY "SUFFS''
Miss Lucy Barns Claims Presidents S
Speech Don't Satisfy.

Since President Wilson'S speech on suf-
frage at Atlantic city, the Congressional
Union for Woman Suffrage is more de-
termined than ever to assist the Woman's
Party in its campaign against Mr.. Will
son and the national Democratic ticket.
according to Miss Lucy Burns, vice chair
man of the Congressional Union.
President Wilson stated at Atlantic
City," said Miss Burns, that he believed
in woman suffrage; that 1T was coming
and so on. But he did not say one word
to explain his hostility to the Federal
suffrage amendment for the past four
years.
Federal Amendment Practical.
"A pamphlet was only recently put into
his hands by a Virginia representative
of the Virginia Federation of Labor,
showing that many State constitutions
cannot be amended Miss Burns asserted
that the Federal amendment course was
the only practical. as well as the only dig
nified one to follow in the future"
THE point is,' she added, national
work is supported by women voters.
State work eliminates these voters from
the suffrage situation. That ie why Mr..
Wilson and Democratic politicians advise
US to work by States only. Needless to
say, all these weasel words will have
no effect whatever on the campaign the
WOman's Party is now waging against
Mr. Wilson.
President Wilson Is trying to meet
facts with words; and he will not be sue
cessful."

BATHING GIRLS WEAR
PICTURES OF FAV0RITES

Lynn. Mass. Sept. 1o.-Nearly every
day while the sun is shining along
Kings Beach for the last few days
bathing girls have been seen with
something dark and shiny, ranging in
size from a square inch to two or
three inches, just above their elbows
or a little higher.
OF course you wondered. and won
dered, and then probably you had
just picked out a young woman who
looked rather accommodating and
were going to ask her, when she
jumped up and trotted into the water
When she came back she still had the
patch in the same place.
Those little gray patches are really
films. and they have the features OF
some favorite OF these fair maidens.
This is the way it's done:
After placing the section Of the film
on the arm an APPLICATION Of collodiUm
or any other waterproof paste is put
around the edges. which causes It to
adhere to the skin.
