MARCH TO VICTORY

Courage is a matter of the blood.
Without good red blood a man has
weak heart and poor nerves.
In the spring is the best time to

blood is thin and watery, face pale or

less, one should take a spring tonic

Kidney disease carries away large
percentage of our people. What is to
be done? The answer is easy. Eat less
meat, eat coarse, plain food, with plenty
of vegetables, drink plenty of water
between meals, and take an uric acid
solvent after meals for while, such as
Anuric double strength), obtainable at
almost any drug store. 1t was first
discovered by DR.. Pierce. Most every
one troubled with uric acid finds that
Anuric dissolves the uric acid as hot

BEST SEASONS FOR
PLAYERS AROUND rs
Most of Diamond Stars Start
Downward After That.
Honus Wagner Had His Greatest Year
When He Was 26 Years OId-Na-
poIeon Lajoie Was 20 When
He Batted for Total of 1922.

!. When does the great ball player
each the greatest efficiency?
AT what age is his prowess superior
to his efforts at other times?
A little study of the ages at which
ball players have had their greatest
year is interesting. 1t shows that at
about twenty-five or twenty-six the
maximum of efficiency is reached.
Honus Wagner had his greatest year
in 1900. At least, he reached his maxi
mum as batsman that year and his
fielding was never better. In 1900 Hon.
us was twenty-six years old. He batted
$50 for the season.
Napoleon Lajoie had his best year
in 1901 when he was twenty-six. That
year the great Frenchman batted for
an astounding total Of .422.
Cobb's star year was in 1911, when
he was twenty-five. That year Cobb
batted APO and amassed 248 hits and
147 runs. When it is considered that
there are few batters who get beyond
100 runs or 200 hits season it may be
seen how far out ahead of the field
Cobb was that year.
Matty had something like sixteen
great years, but the greatest of these
was 1905, when he was twenty-five
That year Matty won 81 and lost but
nine games out of 40, and pitched three
shut-out games against the Athletics
in the world series, an achievement
which has never been equaled.
Walter Johnson reached his best sea.
son in 1913. when he was twenty-siX
That year he won sc and lost but seven
games. He was twenty-six in 1913. II
is hard to pick the greatest year OF
Grover Alexander, who has won more
than 80 games during the last three
seasons, but he delivered these victo
ries during his twenty-fourth, twenty
fifth and twenty-siXth years.
There are exceptions, of course. Iris
Speakers greatest year was 1916. HI
was Twenty-Five.
Joe Wood won % games and lost five
in 1912, when he was but twenty-three
and RUDE Vanguard was the same ag'
the same year when he made the re
markable run of 10 straight victories
But the majority of the great star:
have been around twenty-five or TWEEN
ty-six when they had their best sea
sons.

WAGNER "FOUR-MINUTE MAN"
Honus to Do His "Bit" by Making
Speeches to Audiences in Nov
ing Picture Shows.

Honus Wagner is a ''four-minute
man" and as such will make speeches
to audiences in moving picture shows
at Carnegie and nearby towns.
And why not? Who is better quail
fed to talk to crowds of people than
the greatest baseball player the world
has ever known?
Honus will probably continue his
speech making during the summer.
Nothing has developed to indicate that
he is going to play ball again. He has
lconfided to friends his intention to
"settle down." and take things easy.
The game will miss him-as ball
player, but never as an orator.

GRIFFITH FOR DAYLIGHT LAW
If Westinghouse Go to Business Ear
Iier They viii Have More
Time at Ball Park.

Clark Griffith, manager of the Wash
ingtons, is strong advocate of the
proposed daylight-saving law which
congress may adopt. Griff argues that
if Washingtonians go to business ear
lier in the day they will have more
time to spend at the Washington ball
park. Other baseball magnates and
managers are said to favor this legis-
lation, which in their opinion would in
crease the daily attendance figures to
a marked degree. Games could be
started at four o'clock, with plenty of
time to complete them before sunset

Ted Jourdan, trSt DaSeman, may be
ost to the White SoX in the new draft,
put there's a good chance that Urban
Faber, the pitcher who won the worlds
series, may not be taken until June,
and possibly later. In that event Fa-
Der would be saved for slab duty for
the champions for a good part of the
American league schedule.
Faber is in a district in which the
quota is said to have been filled. The
famous hurler may not be called for
several months. Jourdan, who is sin
gle may not be so fortunate in this
draft. His home is New Orleans, La.
The White Sox have not been raped
hard in the draft. The regulars on the
team have been immune from call.
Most all the worlds champions are
married and have been placed in class
