WANDERER
MAY STICK
THIS TIME
(By United Press.)

NEW YORK. June 9.-Pitcher Scott
Rope Perry. recently acquired by the
Braves, may stick this time. He prob
ably will be able TO prove to George
Stallings that he has the markings of a
big league pitcher, and will at least
last it out until the end of this season.
Perry is pressing Jack knight pretty
closely for the wandering champion
ship of the big league. jack used to
get caught in the draft every year,
stand being bought ae least once every
six months, and take several trips
around the minor leagues each season.
He's quit it now. Perry evidently is
bidding for the honors.
Perry did his first bit of TRAVELLING
when he went from the Wichita West
ern league club to Louisville. Louis
Vile was so busy trying to win pen
chance to show what he could do. 1t
wasn't long under these conditions until
he was headed for Atlanta. and there
he was planted until last fall.
Tom O'Hara made a trip down south
during the hottest part of last summer
He recommended Perry's purchase for
Tie OuDS ana the uecQ was QOne. Ferry
reported this spring. stayed with the
Cubs until they got to Chicago and then
was shunted off to Cincinnati. where he
stayed just long enough to get ac-
quainted with Manager Mathewson.
Matty wanted to keep Perry. he said as
much. but the team limit was on him
and he had to do something. Perry
was it, He was sent back to Atlanta
Perry stayed in Atlanta just long
enough to get his old apartment
straight and then he was purchased by
the Braves. He's headed again toward
a big league fame.
When Perry was in the Western
league he with a club that stuck
most of the time in last place. but he
was generally acclaimed the best pitch
er in that circuit. His failure to flash
in big league company probably is due
to the same eccentricity of fate that
Jack knight. star of the first water
in the minors and just a ball player in
the majors.

INDIANAPOLIS, IND, June 9.-Sixth
district Democrats did exactly what
might have been expected of them. They
nominated the weakest man in the dis
trtct for Congressman. to fill the va
cancy caused by the death of Congress-
man D. w. Comstock. of Richmond
When they picked Finley Gray. of Con-
nersville, they made it certain that a
district The Republicans will hold
their convention at Rushville today and
nominate their candidate
Gray was a Congressman from the
Sixth district for six years. and he was
about the widest pacihst in the buncn.
and this is no time for a pacifist Con-
gresham. Not when war is at hand.
Congress should be filled with men who
are in favor of carrying this war to a
successful finish.
When Gray was in Congress he was
counted as a weak sister even by Dem
ocrats themselves. The only thing he
ever did was to get Democratic politics
in the Sixth district muddled up over
the distribution OF postoffices and other
jobs that he had at his command. He
had his own way of doing this. and it
did not suit the rank and file of Sixth
district Democrats.
All along the Republicans had hoped
that the Democrats would nominate
Nate Gray. for they feel that he is easy
picking. They were somewhat afraid
that they might take a notion to nomi-
nate Walter Chambers. state senator
from Newcastle. for Chambers is a
strong man in his district and a wise
politician. But when the matter was
proposed to him some time ago and his
friends began urging him to get in the
race, Chambers refused. He is still a
senator. and the state senate is a tie.

twenty-five Democrats. as will be re-
membered from the memorable session
of last winter. If Chambers were to
run for Congress and win 1t would mean
that he would have to resign as state
senator. And even if he was nomin-
ated at all it might have been best for
him to step out of the senate. This, of
course. would have left a vacancy in
the Democratic lineup in that body
and probably would have given the Re
session would have to be called. for a
successor to Chambers from Henry
county probably would be Republican.
Therefore. Chambers could not accede
to the wishes of his friends and he
kept out of the race for the nomination
for Congress.
There was no telling, when the Re-
publican convention convened at Rush
Will today. who would be nominated to
run against Gray. but indications were
that it was anybody's race. with Byron

nomination of Gray has made this ecr-

ators are coming in to make speeches
| for the Republican nominee. When il
was first announced that this would be
done there was considerable opposition.
and word was sent to Washington TO
keep them out of the district. 1t was
made plain that outside help was not
needed and that it would not be well
coined. 1t was understood that this
opposition had headed off the coming
of the national speakers. But word
came yesterday that Senator Hiram
Johnson, Senator Poindexter. Senator
Borah and Senator Watson. and pos
sibly others. would be in the district to
whoop it UP.
There will be no war issue in the
campaign. even though Gray is a paci-
fist. This fact is so well known
throughout the district that the Re-
publicans are not incfined to make use
of it in their campaign speeches. They
propose to fight the campaign on the
ground that the country will need the
Republican party in power after the
close of the war, when the period of
reconstruction comes. and that Re-
publican should go to Congress from the
Sixth district.

QUIT MEAT IF YOUR
 KIDNEYS ACT BADLY
Take tablespoonful of Salts if Back hurts or Bladder bothers-
 Drink lets of water.

We are a nation of meat eaters and our blood is filled with uric acid, says a well-known authority, who warns us to be constantly on guard against kid ney trouble.
 The kidneys do their utmost to free the blood of this irritating acid, but become weak from the oVerwork; they get sluggish: the eliminative tissues clog and thus the waste is retained in the blood to poison the entire system.
 When your kidneys ache and feel like Jumps of lead, and you have sting ing pains in the back or the urine is cloudy, full of sediment, or the blad- der is irritable. obliging you to seek relief during the night: when you have severe headaches, nervous and dizzy spells. sleeplessness, acid stomach or rheuma tism in bad weather, get from your pharmacist about four ounces of lad Salts; take a tablespoonful in a glass of water before breakfast each morning and in few days your kid neys will act fine. This famous salts is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined with lithia, and has been used for generations to flush and stimulate clogged kidneys, to neutralize the acids in urine it is no longer a source of irrita tion, thus ending urinary and bladder disorders.
 lad Salts is inexpensive and cannot 'injure; makes a delightful effervescent lithia -dater drink, and nobody can make a mistake by taking little oc- casionally to keep the kidneys clean and active.
