Hearing Destroyed by Use of Quinine

II the hearing be destroyed by the use Of
quinine, can 1t be restored? JANE w
Cases are rare in which hearing is ac-
tually destroyed by quinine. Sometimes
quinine in large doses impairs the hearing,
but at the present time physicians are suf-
ficieritly acquainted with the possible evil
effects of large doses of quinine so that IL is
very rarely used in such doses al to cause
deafness. Probably the deafness referred
to is really due to something else. Consult
a good ear specialist.

Hair Oil
LEWIS B. o.


What is the best hair oil? LEWIS B. O.
The oil that the scalp makes is better than
any other. At the root of each hair there
is little fat-secreting gland the business
of which is to oil the hair. II the glands
are inactive they may be stimulated. A
good remedy is to massage the scalp with
a little cold water. Dip the fngers in cold
water and rub the scalp vigorously for five
minutes several times a day. The effecr
will be to stimulate the flow of blood
through the scalp and cause the glands 10
secrete more oil very little vaseline may
be applied II necessary.

ONLY so MANY PITCHED
BALLS IN each HURLER,
so PLANK SAVES THEM

During the winter of 1914 base
ball writer's began singing the
swan song of Eddie Plank, for
years premier southpaw of the
American league and one of the
greatest left-handers of all time.
Connie Mack had included
Plank in his wholesale cleanup
and it was generally supposed that
if Connie thought Plank was
through there was no argument
against it.
But Plank fooled 'em and is still
fooling EN-.
Plank will be in the harness
this year and it is not at all I'M
likely that he will be out on the
old mound serving up southpaw
slants in 1918 and 1919.
That is predicting far ahead.
There are many things which
might happen in two or three
years, but without accident Eddie
Plank, now AZ years old, should
be factor in winning baseball
games in the majors for that time.
There are three secrets of
Plank's success as pitcher and of
his ability to stay in the game
longer than any other fork hand
er.

number of balls pitched it would

pitched less balls to O season than
any other hurler.
For 16 years Plank has been in

worked with Connie Mack for IA
seasons and only one year did he
