WAR ZONE FINISHES
 IN VAN AT JAMAICA
Defeat and Surprise Is Given Track Followers

New York, May 21.--One of the important happenings at the Jamaica
 track yesterday was the announce ment that next Friday would be set apart as Red Cross day and that all the receipts on that day would go to the Red Gross fund A special Red Cross handicap at six furlongs will be arranged in addition to the High land Stakes for three-year- odds and four other races.
 There was a continuance Of high class sport yesterday. with the Suffolk Selling Stakes for two-ycar-olds and the Clarendon Handicap as features. The juvenile event brought about an upset in the defeat of Harry rayne Whitney's Purling, a. daughter of Peter Pan. which graduated from the maiden class on Saturday with the greatest of ease. Robinson. who had the mount on Purling, was not as vigorous as usual in his handling of the Whitney entry, which was badly outrun in the early stages, while Mrs. c. ". Starr's War Zone was cutting out a hot pace with George ". Lofts Sweeplet in attendance.
 Sweeplet and Purling began to close on War Zone at the stretch turn, but Knapp kept hustling War Zone along with the result that he had d margin of a length on Purling at the finish. Sweeplet, which had dropped back at the top of the stretch, came again in the last six teenth and lost the place by only head.
 Courageous and fainthearted sprinters were pitted against each other in the Clarendon Handicap. James Buffers High Noon. the top weight, gave one of his exhibitions of curling Up over the short distance of five and half furlongs.
 High Noon was six lengths in front of Arnold on entering the. stretch, with R. r. Carman's stouthearted Startling some distance back. As High Noon faltered Startling was urged along by Dominick until he captured the long end of the purse by half length.
 News was circulated that A. k Ma comber's Sunbonnet the champion three-year lilly of last year, had bowed q tendon in her preparation for the Metropolitan handicap, and that Wilfrid Viau, the owner of Omar Khayya1n. had refused an offer of S75,o0o, made by Edward B. Me- Lean, for his colt.

JACKSON MUST FIGHT
South Carolina Draft ThWarts Plans of "ShoeIess Joe" to Do Service in Munition Plant in Preference.

Joe Jackson, who left the White Sox recently to accept a position with a shipbuilding concern. presumably to avoid military services, has been ordered by the draft board at Green vile. S. c, to report to an army camp irnm ediately. Jackson's plight will be a lesson to other ball players who have gone to work in shipyards and munition factories with the supposed understanding that they will not pc called to the colors. Practically all of these men are in Class IA, yet they have preferred to play ball. in add1- ton to regular labor. at the instlga7 ton of agents of industrial concerns who, it is said, have guaranteed de- ferred classification
 Meanwhile, leaders Of organized baseball have called the attention of the government to these cases, with the result that thorough investiga- ton will be made. The president of a big steel corporation, which has in- duced number of players to jump their baseball contracts. has called halt and also has issued orders to his agents to keep their hands off the major and minor leagues.
 The leaders of organized baseball argue that it is decidedly unfair to players who have entered the army or navy and to others who are wait ing to be called in the draft to per init slackers to get under cover. The magnates have surrendered many val uable players without a word of com- plaint, but they feel that they are en- titled to the services of others Who are under contract until the time ar rives for them to join Uncle Sam forces.
 Jackson's friends are trying to ex- cusc his conduct by explaining that he has four brothers in the army and wife who claims dependency But the fact remains that Jaczson's eager ness to build ships has brought this obnoxious evil to the attention of the War Department.

DIR. CLINTON J. HYDE THE PRICE YOU PAY

"I know I ought to take treat1n ent; I have been running down for the last wear or two. I am all Jagged out, have no am bition, worry from morn ing till night. don't care whether l am dead or alive, have lost weight and cannot do the same work l used to do some years ago. If l were as strong as I was, l could earn good money. I know I ought to treat with a good specialist, but l cannot afford to pay for the treatment
 You are paying for it NOW, my friend, and dearly; yet you do not get it.
 Let me tell you why
 Your health is your capital; your working capacity is the interest you are drawing.
 A good manager never spends more than his interest.
 Should he begin to draw on the capital his interest would, of course. decrease.
 And what are you doing?
 You allow your health to run down more and more; therefore, you can- not work and earn what you used to. DO you see the point? You are draw ing on your capital-Which is your health-by allowing it to run down, and so the interest (your working capacity) is steadily growing smaller.
 You used to make good money; now you earn about half of what you used to get
 To make two three or four dollars was play to you; and you had all your heart and soul in your work.
 These happy days are gone.
 You now barely make a living and find it almost beyond your strength. And you shudder at the thought of what will happen when the final breakdown comes
 Figure out in dollars and cents what you have lost already and you will be amazed at the amount; and what you are gong to lose is beyond estim ation.
 The dollar you MIGHT earn, but don't, is an actual expense to you. You spend it. And what do you get for it. Worry anxiety, despondency want and deprivation for your family
 The dollar you take out of your pocket and spend for treatment with an experienced specialist is not an expense. It is an investment. And in return you get increased working ability. higher wages, health and hap pineSS at home.
 Which will you choose?
