NEW YORK, March 5.-The flock
of holdouts is decreasing In major
league circles, for within two weeks
at the most, every club will have
gone to work In its training camp.
The lineup of camps this year is
practically the same as in preceding
years. The few changes are due to
the desire Of clubs to get close to
training camps and play for the en-
tertainment of soldiers.
The Cincinnati Reds, for instance,
viii do their conditioning at Mont
gomery, Ala, near one OF the big
cantonments. Expenses will be great
ly cut for the Reds and in addition
they will be cheering up the soldier
folk.
The Giants. Cardinals, White Sox
and Tigers will be back in Texas.
The Red Sox and Dodgers Will re-
turn to Hot Springs. Ark. The
Braves will continue to stick to
Miami. Fla, after a brief period of
conditioning at George Stallings' plan
tation in Georgia The Cubs will
make another trip to Pasadena, Calf.
The Pirates return to Jacksonville,
Fla, where they went last year after
forsaking Hot Springs. The Phfllies
will be at st. Petersburg. Fla The
Yankees and Senators are the only
American clubs to go TO Georgia. The
Browns Will be In Shreveport. La,
this year, a new spot for them. The
Indians viii be back in New Orleans.
Games on the way home from
training camps have been curtefIed
in some quarters. but the change here
is hardly noticeable. The Braves and
Yankees win come north together.

single unpleasant thought of what

tasting, quick acting, and absolutely
harmless, have already proven an un-
told blessing to thousands of people.
One or two EATONIC Tablets after
meals work wonders. They sweeten
and purify the stomach by neutraliz-
ing the trouble-making acids and gases
and stop the gripping pains of indiges-
tion and other stomach and bowel
disturbances.
And the best part of it is-you can
be your own judge. Just try EATONIC.
Let your own stomach tell you the
truth. If you are not pleased then
they don't cost you one penny.
Druggists are amazed at the aston
ishing reports from EATONIC users.
who have found EATONIC q quick,
wonderful relief for stomach ailments.
So we tell you to get large box of
EATONIC from your druggist, whom
you know and can trust, and then
II EATONIO is not suited to your case,
return 1t to your druggist at once and get
back your money. That's q fair, square
offer. Every person Is urged to make tho
test. Let your own stomach tell you the
truth. So start using EATONIC today.

When hot weather comes, stomach
and bowel miseries begin. Strong,
sound stomachs as well as weak ones
are easily affected by the harmful
gases and acids SO often produced in
the things we eat and drink during
hot weather. Winter-Nature's ice
box, is gone-hot weather breeds
the poisonous germs that cause pto-
maine poison in all its many forms.
Every one knows that the after-eat-
ing nausea, belching, that wretched,
bloated, "lumpy" feeling, sour stom-
ach, heartburn, food repeating, and
other forms of indigestion and dys-
pepsia are far more frequent during
bot weather. It is the time when you
have to guard constantly against an
upset stomach and the many ills that
are always apt to follow. Then again
we have the worlds war to win
with the change of diet and extra
work which means we must all care-
fully guard our stomachs this year
keep ourselves fit and fine.
A marvellous relief and prevention
has been found for stomach sufferers,
which makes it possible for you to eat

MUSH AND MILK.

What has become of the old
time bowl of cornmeal mush and
milk? It is an American dish,
cheap, nourishing and palatable.
The older generation loved It;
and for economical, sentimental
and patriotic reasons we should
now go back to It and take all
America with us. Mush and
milk furnishes a balanced ra-
ton, yet contains no wheat, no
meat, no sugar. 1t is a whole
meal in itself. and while the war
lasts 1t should be used more
largely in this country. It's
larger use here will release other
and more concentrated foods for
our armies and the armies Of the
allies. We are producing an
abundance Of food; we will save
1t for our boys across the water;
and food will help to win the
war. The Austrians, Bulgari-
ans, Turks and Germans are be-
ginning to see this, and the kali
ser also believes and trembles.

Fruits Save suoer.

All ripe fruits contain sugar. Tho
amount varies from about three ounces
or one-f1fth cupful per pound In fresh
figs and plums to about one-half ounce
per pound in watermelon.
II the water is driven of from fruits,
as in. the drying process. the sugar
becomes far more prominent than it
is in fresh fruits. Dried fruits, there
fore, taste far sweeter than fresh ones
and are for this reason often classed
among the sweets. It should be re-
membered, however, that sugar II
present in all fresh fruits, even in the
most acid ones, and that those persons
who wish to do so can economixe on
other kinds of sugar by eating large
amounts Of fresh fruits in unsweet-
ened forms.
In warm weather melons and other
fruits may be used in place Of 'smade"
desserts, which usually contain both
butter and sugar. Fruit and ice-cold
junket, which can be prepared from
skim milk, make refreshing dessert
and utilize perishable foods chiefly.
Or the dessert course may be omitted
