IRIS SPEAKER BIDS
FOR BIGGEST YEAR
Is Hitting Ball Hard and Showing
Unusual Amount of Pep.
Playing Shorter Center Field Than
Year Ago, Racing Back for occa-
sionaI Ones That Go Deep
Strong for Aviation.

Iris Speaker will be more of star
this year than he was year ago.
That is indicated by the form shown
by the Indian captain to date. He
is hitting the ball harder than year
ago and, If such thing is possible, is
displaying more pep. But that is not
all. He is playing shorter center
field than a year ago.
Spoke, as he is universally known In
baseball circles, revolutionized center
fielding when he adopted system OF
playing in close to second base and
racing back for the occasional ones hit,
to deep center. Last year 1t was COM
mented upon that he was playing a

Thin PEOPLE
SHOULD take
PHOSPHATE
Nothing Like Plain Bitro-Phosphate
to Put on Firm, Healthy Flesh and
to Increase Strength, vIpor
and Nerve Force.

Judging from the countless preparations
and treatments which are continually be-
Ing advertised for the purpose of making
thin people heshy, developing arms, neck
and bust, nd replacing ugly hollows and
angles by lie soft curved lines Of health
and beauty, there are evidently thousands
Of men and women who keenly feel their
excessive thinness.
Thinness and weakness are often due
to starved nerves. Our bodies need mors
phosphate than is contained IN modern
foods. Physicians claim there is nothing
that will supply this deficiency SO well az

by supplying the body cells with the 1ec-
essary phosphoric food elements, bitro-
phosphate should produce welcome

Increase IN weight also carries with r.
g. general Improvement In the health,
Nervousness, sleeplessness and lack OF
energy, which nearly always accompany
excessive thinness, should disappear, dull
eyes become bright, and pale cheeks glow
with the bloom of perfect health.
CAUTION: - Although bitro- phosphate
is unsurpassed for relieving nervousness,
should not, owing to its tendency to in
crease weight, be used by anyone who
does not desire to put on flesh.

tricolette, with sailor collar and band
of self-colored embroidery about the
bottom. A satin vest worn with it
has small pearl buttons, set close to-
gether, down the front. Bright green
taffeta coats with machine stitching
Of white silk, and coats crocheted Of
the green silk in lace designs are note
worthy among the novelties to be
worn with white satin or silk sport
skirts. All the coats have belts or

The suit at the right is made Of a
heavy ribbed silk-slSirt and coat Of
the same material. There are several
patterns in these sport silks, some of
them in two colors, others in figured
designs of one color. Angora cloth is
a favorite for embellishing them,
placed in bands about the skirt and
coat and as cuffs and collars. But
many of these suits are untrimmed, as
the fanciful fabric makes variety
enough. Even in sport suits the vest
has made place for itself, and it ap.

Some practical women, some eco
nomically inclined women, will say a
veil is luxury and an extravaganza.
These women are only seemingly
practical, are Indifferent rather than
practically economical, for they have
failed to understand that good veil

trade-marked article. guaranteed to

But of course one should remember
that veil is a fragile thing that must

Rumpus Ridge. "For minute shore

WHITE sox SHOWING SPEED
Manager Gleason Has His Men Batting
Well and Running Bases Better
Than Usual.

Manager Gleason Of the White Sox
not only appears to have his team
batting in fine shape, but they are
showing more speed on the bases than
has usually been the case with CHI
cago American teams Of past years.
Stealing seven bases in one game is
something new for the White Sox, es-
pecially with Ainsnnith doing the catch
ing for the opposing team.

SOMETHING MUST GIVE

Moon Ducote, former college
football star and now outfield-
ing for Mobile, has two touch
downs to his credit since he en-
tered the Southern league,
writes Barney Sheridan in the
Mobile Register. One he gained
at the expense of Frank Kitch-
ems, New Orleans catcher, and
the other over Bill Webb, Bir-
mingham third baseman in the
smashup with "Moon." The big
athlete knows but little of the
art Of hook slide. He does
know, however, that he's sup
posed to reach the next base
when he sets sail for 1t and
when he hits, with his two hun
dred and odd pounds something

Thousands Have Kidney
Trouble and Never
Suspect 1t
Applicants for Insurance Often
Rejected.

Judging from reports from druggists
who are constantly in direct touch with
the public, there is one preparation that
has been very successful in overcoming
these conditions. The mild and healing
influence of DR.. Kilmer's Swamp-Root is
soon realized. It stands the highest for
its remarkable record of success
An examining physician for one of the
prominent Life Insurance Companies, in
an interview of the subject, made the as
tonishing statement that one reason why
so many applicants for insurance are re-
jected is because kidney trouble Is So
common to the American people, and the
large majority of those whose applica-
tions are declined do not even suspect
that they have the disease. 1t is on sale
at all drug stores in bottles of two sizes,
medium and large.
However, if you wish first to test this
great preparation send ten cents to DIR.

we shall have victory.
We shall have victory for national

have the victory which is implied in
this country's remaining a national

gar fraction of a heterogeneous mass
Of fractions.
We shall have victory for the Mon
roe Doctrine over a proposal to alb
rogate it and to throw American af-
fairs into the ola podrida of Eu-
rope, ASIA Africa and the islands OF
the sea.
we shall have victory for our right
to enact and to enforce our own i'm
migration laws, and thus to deter
mine for ourselves what aliens we
shall receive into the fellowship oil
the State, and or what terms we
shall >receive them.
We shall have victory for our ma
! tfOnal right to regulate our foreign
commerce, and to say what tariff, il
any, shall be paid by alien produc-
ers for the privilege of competing
with our own artisans in our own
markets.
We shall have victory for the right
to determine for ourselves how large
an army and navy we need, and how
they shall be organized and for
what purposes they shall be used.
: We shall have victory for the right
to mind or own business, to be free
from foreign meddling in our affairs
and to be free from any obligation
tozsnedlile in the affairs of other ma.

We shall, in brief, have victory fol
