THOMPSON To
GET ACHANCE
INDOOR SPoES
BY LOUIS A. BOUCHER.

Harry "Lefty" Thompson, who
pitched major league ball all last
summer at Camp Meade, will, in all
likelihood, get trial with the Griff-
men this spring, though strictly
speaking the Washington club lost
all title to him when it drew down
its purchase price last summer.
Thompson was drafted in Septem-
Der, 1917, by the Griffs, but before
he could report Uncle Sam worked
- prior draft and Lefty" donned
the khaki.
Thompson starred with the Toron-
to champions under Larry Lajoie in
1917. He ranked ninth among the
pitchers, allowing an average of 2.46
runs per game and winning twenty
five games to eleven lost He hit 2S6,
being played in the outfield in twenty
1--WE games because Of his clouting.
The Washington club paid over it's
money to the National Commission
when awarded Thompson in the draft,
but later took it back 1t is now be-
lieved that Thompson will be turned
over to the Griffmen on the payment
of the draft price to the Toronto
club.
Grinit h Ii Worried.
Manager Griffith admitted today
that he Is O bit worried over his two
outfielders, Sam Rice and Mike Me-
nosl<y. Until very recently he heard
or so.-but he is now at a loss as to
their whereabouts, no letters having
come from them He is afraid lest
they incur some injury that will pre-
J vent their playing baseball next sum-
mer.
Grif has signed up a new short
btop In Joe Brown. a Buffalo young
ster. When Joe Casey took up es-
sentiai work IN September, he took a
job in a factory at Rochester. n. Y.
There he played on the factory team
and se saw Brown in action, giving
him credit for being a most promis-
ing kid inielder. He tipped off Griff
10 this player, and the Old Fox rap
idly got into communication with the
lad. Now Brown will go to Augusta
for trial. Casey tells Griff Brown
can field and hit. These are said to
be necessary things for major lesg-
uers.
VIII Battle Giants

York Giants has been arranged by
Griffith. Seven games will be played
between these two clubs, as follows:

MEAT INJURIOUS
TO THE KIDNEY.
Take tablespoonful of Salts if Bac

forms uric acid.

We are nation of meat eaters and
our blood is filed with uric acid, says a
well-known authority, who warns us to
be constantly on guard against kidney
trouble.
The kidneys do their utmost to free
the blood of this irritating acid, but
become weak from the overwork; they
get sluggish; the eliminative tissues clog
and thus the waste is retained in the
blood to poison the entire system.
When your kidneys ache and feel like

table, obliging you to seek relief during

aches, nervous and dizzy spells, sleepless-
ness, acid stomach or rheumatism in bad
weather, get from your pharmacist about
four ounces of Jad Salts; take a
tablespoonful in glass of water before
breakfast each morning and in few
days your kidneys will act fine. This
famous salts is made from the acid of
grapes and lemon juice, combined with
lithia, and has been used for generations
to flush and stimulate clogged kidneys,
to neutralize the acids in urine so it is
no longer a source of irritation, thus
ending urinary and bladder disorders.
@Jad Salts is inexpensive and cannot
injure; makes a delightful effervescent
Whitewater drink, and nobody can make

States Tax Income
Largerthan Expected

ATLANTA, May 2.-One of Geor-
gia's financial problems found its So
luton Thursday when tabulations de-
veloped the fact that receipts from
county tax collectors for the period
from April 1 to May totaled $69S, 900
whereas only about 100000 had been
expected from this source. Recently
100000 was borrowed from the state
board fund to pay pensions and it
will now be possible to pay this back
Immediately thus making it certain
that the states road fund will be ap-
rortioned promptly. The increase of
nearly 100000 over the revenue an
ticipated came in the nature of well
come surprise to state officials.

WHEN YOU WAKE
UP DRINK GLASS
OF HOT WATER
Wash the poisons and toxins from
system before putting more
food into stomach.
Says lnside-bathing makes any
one look and feel clean,
sweet and refreshed.

Wash yourself on the inside before
breakfast like you do on the outside
This is vastly more important because
the skin pores do not absorb impuri-
ties into the blood, causing illness,
while the bowel pores do.
For every ounce of food and drink
taken into the stomach. nearly an
ounce of waste material must be
carried out of the body. If this waste
material is not eliminated day by day
it quickly ferments and generates
poisons, gases and toxins which are
absorbed or sucked into the blood
stream, through the lymph duets which
should suck only nourishment to sus-
tain the body.
A splendid health measure is to
drink, before breakfast each day. a
glass of real hot water with a tea
spoonful of limestone phosphate in it,
which is a harmless way to wash
these poisons, gases and toxins from
the stomach, liver, kidneys and
bowels; thus cleansing, sweetening
and freshening the entire alimentary
canal befor putting more food into
the stomach.
A quarter pound of limestone phos-
plate costs but very little at the drug
store but is sufficient to make anyone
an enthusiast on inside-bathing. Men
and women who are accustomed to
wake up with a dull, aching head or
have furred tongue, bad taste, nasty
breath, sallow complexion, others who
have bilious attacks, acid stomach or
constipation are assured of = pro-
nouneed Improvement in both health

Stepping on small pieces of hot

harsh conditions of walking surfaces,

The best oak tanned leather soles
last about three weeks under the abuse
given them in the foundry, while l
have been wearing a pair of Neolin
Soles for more than three months. And
to all appearances, they are as stout
as when first put on my shoes, says
Mr.. Doty.
Only Ne0lin Soles can resist wear
and abuse like this, They are created
by Science to be very tough and dur
able - flexible and waterproof, too.
To reduce your own shoe expense, and
to cut the family shoe bills, buy Neolin-
soled shoes. You can get them in
many styles for men, women, and
children
And have your worn shoes robot
toned with Neolin Soles. These long
