NUX IRON PEPSIN and
SARSAPARILLA - Effective Spring
Medicine Combination.

sARSAPARILLA - Effective Spring
Medicine Combination.
As comprised in Hoods Sarsapa-
rilla and Peptiron, taken in conjunc-
ton, these valuable remedies possess
unequalled value for the quick relief
of a long trail Of ailments COM
mon in the Spring season. You know
well the great tonic properties of
iron. They are much increased and
improved in this combination
Hoods Sarsaparilla before meals
and Peptiron after.
In these days of rushing and push
ing, beyond the endurance of even
the most robust, nearly every man
and woman needs this blood-purify-
ing, cleansing, up-building in the
Spring. If it is not supplied, the
depletion of the blood and the
broken-down nerves may soon give
way to permanent ill-health.
If a cathartic is needed, as where
there is biliousness or constipation,
Hood 3 Pills should be taken. They
are purely vegetable, do not irritate,
and work all right with Hoods Sar-
saparilla and Peptiron.

Rev. Charles M. Meserve, president of

gave timely patriotic address upon the
subject, "What is the matter with the
world?' His subject was suggested by
Ezekiel ga In the evening he spoke
upon the Indian question. Dr. Meserve
can speak with authority, as for seven
years he was with them in their reserva-
ton in Kansas, sent by the government.
He gave some surprising facts The In
dams instead of diminishing as a race are
increasing in numbers. They are per
capita the richest people on the globe, as
their reservation is wonderfully rich in
oil wells and agricultural advantages.
They are polite people and very quick
to respond to training. The latter part
of his address he spoke at length of the
colored race, For 25 years he has been
president of the college for colored boys
and girls in Raleigh and he spoke of them
in the highest terms. The doctor is a
very Clear convincing speaker and his
two addresses were greatly enjoyed,

PLAN NIGHTLY SCORE
CABLE TO TRENCHES

Atlantic City, April 26.-Plans for
a nightly cable to American sexpedi-
tionary headquarters in France Of the
scores of all big league baseball
games played in America were an
nounced today at the Traymore by
Harry N. Hampstead, president. Of
the New York Giants. Hampstead
will submit his proposal to President
Wilson and other federal officials. and
IL 1t goes through Uncle Sans fight
ing men abroad will hear nightly in
the trenches how each days games
went.
Mr.. Hampstead said: ct think II Is
of great Importance that the boys at
the front be kept as closely in touch
as possible with interesting events
taking place at home. Virtually every
soldier Is interested in baseball and
almost without exception he is inter-
ested in the games that take place in
the major leagues. With the ap-
proval Of Secretary Baker and Cen
eral Pershing we will cable each night
a brief summary of the games.
There Is a great necessity for all
sports now that the tension is so high
everywhere due to war conditions.
People need healthful relaxation.
They need diversion from the trou-
bles Of today. President Wilson him
self has set the example. for no mat
ter how weighty the problem with
which he Is confronted he seldom
fails to seek restful relaxation either
on the golf links or at the theater."

over this spring. Both horses are
at Havre de Grace. and IL the Pimlico

Jack Hare. jr., probably would 80 to

folks. The winning performance In

not as good a race as was his effort
in the handicap at five furiongs and
a half Monday. In which Nepperhan.
Maj. Clifford A. Cochran's prospective
candidate for the $4,000 Preakness.
and undoubtedly a colt Of high class,
defeated him a head on the post
Jack Hare. jr.. conceded q pounds to
the son Of King James and Price In
stiff going. which one OF his races at
Saratoga last summer proved that he
does not like.
No two-year-old Of last season that
showed class has improved more over
winter as regards weight and general
physical development than this son Of
Marathon. and he handles himself
cleverly. Weir has no fear that he
will not negotiate successfully the
Pimlico Spring Handicap distance, one
mile and seventy yards, and then go
on the Preakness distance. one mile
and a furlong.
Hendrie likes a slow track as much
as Jack Hare. jr., dislikes one. and
he Is training famously. The work of
this son of Star Shoot and Orange and
Blue at Havre de Grace has been as
good as that of any horse Of mature
years there. Hendrie VIII bear Weir's
own silks in the Pimlico Spring Han
dicap. Jack Hare, jr., will race for
Col. w. e. Applegate. Three weeks
ago Weir was confident he would be
able to get Old Rosebud which, af-

VALGER WILL
BATTLE WHITE
Classy Bantams Will Fight
Monday Night on Bal
tinore Card.

Baltimore. April 26. A bantam
weight battle of class has beer added
to next Monday evenings all-star Of
fering Of the American Athletic Asso-
citation I'm the matching of Jabez
White. OF Albany. and Benny yalger,
the French champion. This mill Is to
be the secondary feature Of the at
tractive card which Henry Bletzer will
put on at the Lyric. White is consid-
cred a likely asrirant for the cham
pionship which Is now in the possess
sion of Pete Herman. White was to
have had a fling at Herman's crown
several weeks ago. but Dominick
Tortorich. who had arranged the event
in the ttleholder's home town New
Crleans) was forced to call 1t off
when the champ was unable to get
furlough from the Navy Department,
Herman having enlisted In the Naval
Reserves.
That White Is one of the foremost
little battlers OF the country was at
tested In his combat with Pal Moore
two months ago in Albany, in which
he was not only given the decision by
the newspapers, but put the Memphis
star to the rosin for the count OF nine.
Moore, real sport when he came
here to box Johnny Ertle, admitted
that White scored a knockdown on
him. and incidentally remarked that
1t was the hardest clout he had re-
ceived on the jaw since he had entered
the fight game. White has boxed
Ertle. Kid Wolfe. Dick Loadman and
other hantams of ability.
The fans are wise to Valger's ability.
They sympathized with the Frenchman
when he was the victim of q lurid
decision In his fracas here with Young
CLANCY. Though II was not question
able that Valger won, the referee.
Capt James Patrick O'Donovan, made
his worst mistake since becoming the
referee-in-chief here, when he awarded
CLANCY the laurels at the end OF the
fifteenth round. which was the signal
for an outburst OF dissatisfaction
among the spectators. Valger's Sc
ance with White will vie in interest
with the windup between George Cha
ney, the knockout king, and Jack Rus
SO. the New Orleans lightweight. who
has not been beaten since he placed
himself under the management of
Scotty Montieth, who looks after the
interests Of Johnny Dundee. 1t was on
the showing of Russo with Dundee In
a a0-rounder in New Orleans that
Montieth procured contract of Rus
so, whom. he contends, will give Cha
ney more action than any lightweight
the kayo king has stacked up against
of late.
