Buffalo. N. Y, April IA tidal
wave of poetic verse threatened to
swamp the recruiting office Of the
Z. S. Marine Corps here, recently,
when Burt Gibbs, of nowhere in par
ticular. entered the office and burst
out.
"My country calls, wish
to fight.
Pray tell me, sir, am l IN
right"
His auditors were staggered ana
one Drawer than the rest led the po-
etc Gibbs, still chattering, into the
office of the officer in charge. Gibbs
effected 'lordly bow and swept his
hat to the floor:
I've come to fight to clear
the sea,
To make it safe for Demo-
cracy."
This was followed with:
'Prithee, kind sir, I'm known
to fame.
Think and reflect, Gibbs is
my name"
Burt Gibbs may gain poetical but
never military fame. He was re-
jected as physically unfit.

At this time of the year people feel
weak, tired, listless, their blood Is thin,
they have lived indoors and perhaps
expended oil their mental and bodily
energy and they want to know how to
renew their energy and stamina, over
come headaches and backaches, have
clear eyes, a smooth, rudy skin, and
feel the exhllaration of real good health
hngling thru their body. Good, pure,
rich, red blood is the best insurance
against ills Of all kinds. Almost all
diseases come from impure and impov-
erished blood. It Is to be noticed In the
pale or pimply face, the tired, haggard
appearance or the listless manner.

meals, and for vegetable tonic there's

Lieut.. Mccormick Says De,
tenders Scorn Attitude of
Moguls and Players.

New York. Aug. 14.-Lieutenant
Harry (Moose) Mccormick, who
several seasons ago was famous as
a pinch hitter for the Giants has
Just returned from France, where
he has been in the front line
trenches for nearly six months.
IF the club owners and ball play
ers knew what the boys who have
gone over to the other side to fight
think of them they would not want
to play a worlds SERIES" says Nc
Cormick. They would want to
turn in their bats for guns and get
into a real contest.
The decision of the leagues to
play a worlds series after the ex-
piration of Secretary Bakers re-
prieve and the numerous players
who jumped to steel plants to play
ball when they were apt to be draft
ed has created the impression
among the soldiers that the base
ball people were thinking more OF
their game than their country.
Il was sorry to see base ball get
into such a condition, but l think
much of the feeling that exists or
the other side could have been
averted had the players acted diff
ferently.
"If one man from each club had en-.
listed and formed a company it would
have shown a fine spirit for the game
and there might never have been the
impression that the game was not
doing its full part. A soldier in a
trench can not be expected to fee
very kindly toward a man who il
playing ball while he is risking his
life for a real cause
While in France Lieut.. Mccormick

Mccormick won his commission with
