ATHLETICS 1; ACKER-
MAN & QUIGLEY'S 0
Score Made In Last Half Of
Ninth. Pitchers Performed
Brilliantly.

The Ackerman & Quigley base
ball team didn't arrive Tuesday
until nearly 400 o'clock, and
after a number Of fans had de-
cided that there would be no
game. However, there was a
game in which every ounce Of
base ball sense had to be utilized
in the manufacture of a victory.
1t was a nip and tuck game all
the way, and not until the last
half of the ninth when Slusher
was safe at first on a hit to the
first baseman and "Speck" Ma
vel doubled to deep right center,
Slusher stopping at third, and
Caldwell scoring him when he
hit to the short stop, who made
a bad throw home, was the
game iced and put in storage.
Tim" Caldwell, who pitches
with his head as well as with his
arm, gave a fine exhibition OF
what a boxman can do when he
has both. Tim" is a favorite
with Lexington fans, not alone
on account of pitching ability
but also for his manliness. HI
is always welcome whether ht
wins or looses, but of course, W.
would rather see him win.
Dean, who was Caldwell's op
ponent, pitched a mighty nift!
game. He struck out twelve o
the Athletics and gave sever
hits. Caldwell strcuk out min
and permitted five hits.

BEGIN HOT WATER
DRINKING IF YOU
DON'T FEEL RIGHT
says glass of hot water with
phosphate before breakfast
washes out poisons.

If you wake up with bad taste, bad
breathe and tongue is coated; if your
head is dull or aching; if what you eas
sours and forms gas and acid in stom-
ach, or you are bilious, constipated,
nervous, sallow and can't get feeling
just right, begin inside bathing. Drink
before breakfast, a glass of real hot
water with a teaspoonful of limestone
phosphate in it. This will flush the
poisons and toxins from stomach, liver
kidneys and bowels and cleanse,
sweeten and purify the entire alimen-
tdry tract. Do your inside bathing i'm
nlediately upon arising in the morning
to wash out of the system all the pre-
vious days poisonous waste, gases and
sour bile before putting more food in
to the stomach
To feel like young folks feel; like
you felt before your blood nerves and
muscles became loaded with body i'm
purities, get from your pharmacist
quarter pound of limestone phosphate
which is inexpensive and almost taste
less, except for sourish twinge which
il not unpleasant
Just as soap and hot water act on
the skin, cleansing, sweetening and
freshening, so hot water and limestone
phosphate act on the stomach, liver,
kidneys and bowels. Men and women
who are usually constipated, bilious,
headachy or have any stomach disorder
should begin this inside bathing be-
fore breakfast. They are assured they
will become real cranks on the subject
