the Sox decide to let him go, for Hol-
land has first claim upon his services.

the association clubs.
White Sox Promise Substitute.

first basemen recruits who are to pc

no fear, according to Holland, re-

well taken care OF, whether or not
Iourdan is again with the team.
Holland has his outheld complete,
and his pitching staff is virtually
filled. He wants one more catcher
to aid Bud Fusner, and three inheld-
ers. If Fautseh comes that will take
care of the shortheld, but Holland
now has only McClelland tor a Ger

sent back to the ontheld, as It was
there that he did his best work.

CASEY REVISED AGAIN.

The score was to 2.
Midwife was gradually getting the
daylight knocked out of it.
Twas the ninth inning and two
were out.
The Midwife fans were very
gloomy--so gloomy one might have
thought they all lived in Cincinnati.
But suddenly three men got on
base.
And then the mighty Casey, who
could hit 800 against Walter johnson
and Grover Alexander, came to bat.
The Midwife fans promptly chased
the glooms out Of the park and
brought on the joys. They thought
it was pretty soft, Casey would do
nothing less than knock the ball into
the next county.
Two strikes were called on Casey,
but the fans didn't give this a thought
They were confident Casey would de-
liver the package.
But suddenly all was changed, The
whistle blew.
And Casey. being a good union ball
player, dropped his bat and walked
off the field.

Crashes Into Sour Bile, Making You

CalOmel salivates. It's mercury.
Caiomel acts like dynamite on a slug
gish liver. When calomel comes into
contact with sour bile it crashes into
it, causing cramping and nausea.
If you feel bilious, headachy, consti-
pated and all knocked out, just go to
your druggist and get a soc. bottle Of
Dodsons Liver Tone, which is harm

it doesn't start your liver and straight-
en- you up better and quicker than
nasty calOmel and without making
you sick. you just go back and get
your money.
If you take cal0mel today you'll be
sick and nauseated tomorrow; besides
it may salivate you, while if you take
DodsOn's Liver Tone you will wake
up feeling great, full OF ambition and
ready for work or play. It's harmless,
pleasant and safe TO give to children;

Without Pain

Without Pain
You reckless men and women who
are pestered with corns and who have
at least once q week invited an awful
death from lockjaw or blood poison
are now told by Cincinnati authority
to use drug called freezone, which
the moment few drops are applied
to any corn or callous the soreness is
relieved and soon the entire corn or
callous, root and all. lifts off with the
fingers.
Freezone dries the moment it is ap-
piled, and simply shrivels the corn
or callous without infaming or even
irritating the surrounding tissue or
skin. 4 small bottle OF freezone will
cost very little at any of the drug
stores. but will positively rid ones
feet of every hard or soft corn or har-
dened callous. If your druggist hasn't
any freeZone he can get it at any
wholesale drug house for you'd.
