New York, Jan. GThs purchase of HBabeS Ruth. the star hstsmzn of the Boston Americans, by the New York American club was announced tonight by Colonel Jacob Ruppert, president of the New York club. Colonel Rup- pert refused to state the price paid.
 Colonel Ruppert said that Manager Miller Huggins of the Yankees is now in Los Angeles, Calf, negotiating with Ruth.
 Ruth has a three year contract with the Boston club made last season, call ing for a salary Of s1o,0o0 a year. He is reported, however, to have declared recently that unless this sum was boosted to S20,o0O he would not return 10 Boston
 The famous home run hitter demand ed this increase on the strength of his last seasons batting record, when he broke all previous major league re- cords by hitting 29 home runs.
 In refusing to name the price paid for Ruth. Ruppert admitted that he understood an offer of S1oO, 900 for the player was refused last summer by Harry Frazee Of the Boston club.
 Ruth, who is 26 years old. joined the Red Sox in 1915 as a pitcher and was used as a pinch hitter because of his ability to send out long hits. Last season he was transferred to outfield duty. where he batted .322 as well as establishing a new maor league home run record He made twelve three base hits, 34 two-base hits and receiv- cd 1o1 bases on balls from pitchers who preferred to pass him Ruth pitched in r games and yielded an average of 2.97 runs As an outfielder, be erred only twice in 25S chances.
 Colonel that President Ban Johnson would be advised tomor- TOW of Euth's purchase. We do not care what he thinks of it and do not even consider the idea of him trying 70 block i-" he added. "An I can say is that whether Mir. Johnson likes it or not. Ruth will be in our opening lineup.

 The l dustrial situation presented further bright aspects in the addi- tional advance of refined copper and kindred metals yet another upward revision of prices for crude and re- fined oils and prospects of large equipment contracts
 Failure Of the supreme court to act on the MacComber tax case was a source of disappointment and con- tributed to the final setback of prices after their temporary recovery from lowest quotations of the mid-session.

 Potash is the least important of the three and when used alone on trees lacking nitrogen and phospheric acid may prove positively injurious.
 The results of experiments in apple orchard fertilization in southern Ohio differ from those found in treating peach orchards in that the apple or chards require all three of the fertiliz- ing elements to secure the most prof itable results. Most of the rejuvena ton tests in apple orchards have been conducted on very orchards have been conducted on very infertile soils.
 Too much potssh, and particularly when used alone. is bad for peach trees. Some vigorous elberta trees 1T New Jersey were literally treated with potash in tn spring. The yield was heavy and the fruit extra fine but the next spring every tree treated with potash was dead.

Good health is your heritage. So don't let an acid-stomach deprive you of your health. Don't let it hold you back.
 Some people think an acid-stomach merely causes indigestion, dyspepsia, bloat, heart burn, etc. That is grave mistake. You simply have no idea of the long train of physical ills and awful human suffering that are directly traceable to acid-stomach. Rheumatism, Gout, Sciatica, Cirrhosis of the Liver, Biliousness,. Anemia, Autointoxication, Intestinal Conges- tion, Severe Headache Insomnia, Nervousness, Mental Depression, Melancholia, Dizziness, Heart Trouble--yes, even Catarrh, Ulcer and Cancer of the Stomach-all of these disorders can find their original source in that one con- dition-s scid-stomach.
 Most people do not realize this. Yet it is not at all surprising. Any number of people have acid-mouth without knowing it, because the acid is absolutely tasteless, yet powerful enough to eat through the harder-than-bo enamel of the teeth, causing them to decay. Therefore you can easily imagine that acid stomach is far reaching in its effects, causing the above named ailments.

Acid-Stomach Destroys Health, Vitality and
 Strength

EATONIC tablets that you eat like bit oR candy, and the results are truly wonderful
 EATONIC quickly banishes the immediate effects of acid -stomach-such as bloat, heart burn, belching, food-repeating, indigestion, etc. It improves the general health, aids diges- ton and thus helps the entire body to get full nourishment from the food eaten.
 There ere more than 500, 900 people in the United States who, in the past few months, have tested EATONIC and who today are pre- pared to testify to the fact that it rid them of acid-stonach. All have used it under the clean-cut guarantee that if they did not find EATONIC satisfactory in every way it wouldn't cost them penny. The results from using EATONIC, as shown by letters received from many of them, are so amazing as to be almost beyond belief.
 Twenty-Five thousand drug stores dispense EATONIC. Your druggist is authorized to refund your money if you not satisfied.
