AN EASY WAY TO
REDUCE FLESH.
Drink Hot Water and Take Tassco.

Haven't you often wished for a
medicine to reduce your flesh? Some
thing that does not require dieting or
calisthenics? Well, right here you
have it in 5-grain tassco tablets,
which you may secure at your drug
gist. They are pleasant to take, per-
fectfy harmless and cause no restric-
lions of habit or eating, and reduce
the flesh, little by little until you are
down to the number of pounds you
wish to weigh. Too much flesh is IN
desirable, as most quite stout people
will readily admit and it detra-ts
from ones good appearance; makes
one clumsy and short of breath.
There isn't any reason why anyone
should be too stout, when there's this
much tried, perfectly satisfactory
remedy at your druggist. Tassco tab
lets (don't forget the name) are re-
commended by physicians and are guar
anteed to be perfectly harmless. Re-
fuse substitutes if you can not come
to our store we will mail tassco to
you.

MRS. KlCHTERICH
Will FILE CROSS
CHARGES TODAY
Physicians Wife is Ready
to Contest Divorce
Petition.
TRIAL TO BE HELD
EARLY NEXT WEEK
Common Pleas Court Convened
for November Term-Many
Probate Cases Settled.

The cross charges on which the di-
vorce petition filed several months
ago by DR.. R. F. Wichtericlf against
his wife, Mrs. Alma Wichterich, will
be contested, will be filed today, Judge
Wilson Cramer, attorney for Mrs.
Wichterich said last night. The cross
charges will be submitted in the Com
mon Pleas Court.
Mr.. Cramer would not explain the
nature Of the cross charges prepared
in Mrs. Wichterich's behalf. He init
mated, however, that the allegations
made by DR.. Wichterich in his Wvofce
petition would be denied. Whether any
additional charges will be brought
aside from the denial of the physi-
clans allegations, Mr.. Cramer would
not say.
The divorce case will most likely
be tried some time next week. Mr..
Cramer said he would ask for trial
during the second week Of the Novem-
Der term which convened yesterday.
1t is probable that the case will be
called for trial next Tuesday. The at
torneys interested in cases pending in
the Common Pleas Court, will confer
with Judge John Snider today in an
effort to agree on the date of the
cases set for trial during the present
! term.
Dr.. .Wichterich alleges in his petit
ton, that his wife had made herself
guilty Of adultery naming Jesse
Priest as correspondent. Neither Mrs.
Nicktcrich nor Priest would comment
on the charges brought against them
by DR.. Wichterich. The physician will
be represented by Judge Edward D.
Hays. In view Of the general interest
the case has created in the city be-
cause of the physicians prominence
and considering the fact that two at
torneys, recognized as the best talent
Of their profession in this section OF
the state, will oppose each other dur
ing the trial, a record crowd Is ex,
; pected to attend the trial.
The couple lived together for sew.
eral weeks after the physician ha;
filed his charges. A month ago DR.
Wichterich left the house when hi!
wife went to st. Louis for medica
treatment. Before the petition was

made to have the differences of the
couple adjusted in a quiet way, bu

of the couple, would not accept {
compromise.
Yesterday was Probate day in the
Common Pleas Court. A great many
of probate matters were taken up ant
settled by Judge Snider who sale

TALK OF PLAYERS STRIKE IS
PUBLICITY FOR BASEBALL
BY Mark Shields


rounds that the trouble between the
Baseball Players Fraternity and the
club owners is not so serious as some
newspaper stories and interviews
would appear to make it. Ban John
son is on deck today with hot-shot
at Dave FuItz, head Of the fraternity,
and says any player of the American
league who is not signed to a con-
tract will not be taken on the spring
training trip.
He refers to Catcher Henry of
, Washington and Dick HObitzel of
the Red Sox, both active members
of the organization, and says they
can take their choice between play
ing ball and acting as directors of
the frat.
{ All of which makes some baseball
reading at a time when the game
was, about to drop of the sport pages
for lack of winter interest. FultZ and
his threats of strike have enabled
Ban and his people to keep in the
,IimeIght. He should have their
thanks
As a matter of cold fact, Fultz is
not apt to receive much support
from major league players. Some
athletes attached to minor clubs may
follow his lead.
One thing that initiates against
the fraternity is the way it regarded
players who Ieaped from organized
baseball to the Federal league. Fultz
frowned on those fellows and re-
fused to admit them to membership,
That incurred for him the enmity
of the leapers, Tinker being one who
was especially wrought up, Several
other former organized stars who
came to the Chifeds were turned
down in their attempt to join the
frat and the bitterness aroused then
remained when peace was declared
among the club owners. They would

year, and did their best to discourage
its propaganda.
If the frat was ever to amount to
anything it had an opportunity dur
ing the Federal league war. Players
were out to reap a harvest then and
IA bargain could have been driven
that would have strengthened their
position for several years.
Right now the fraternity is not
strong enough to back up FUltz's
talk of a nationwide strike of the
players. To accomplish such feat
it would need the cooperation of the
big stars of the game, and this has
not been forthcoming. Every mem
Der of the old Connie Mack machine,
now scattered among several teams,
was against the fraternity, and their
attitude has not changed. Eddie Col
Inns does not favor it, neither does
Jos Jackson, and Ray Schalk and
Buck Weaver have intimated they
will have no trafic/with Fuftz.
Other teams are in much the same
situation as the White SOx, with
their stars safely landed and not
worrying about Fultz and his die
tums.
There are faults on the parts of
both the fraternity and club owners.
If Ban Johnson had recognized Fultz
at the outset of the fraternity's or
ganization, if he had conferred with
Dave as the head of an organization,
instead of treating him as an outlaw,
much ,of the recent trouble would
never have occurred. ,..
1t is a fair assumption that some
of Fultz's activities have been
aroused through piqUe at the way
he has been dealt with and ignored.
At one time the players were badly
treated, but right now it is hard to
make any one believe the noble ath-
letes are white slaves, down-trodden
and deserving of any great SYM
