HUB LIKES VETS.

Hurting Hub Perdue. veteran
Nashville manager and pitcher, is
strong for the old-timers.
Hub has recently signed Hugh
Bradley, one of the Oldest first base
men in captivity. to play first base
for the Volunteers next season.
Bradley performed for the New Or
leans Pels last season.
Bradley is a veteran, being fully
as old as Hub, who is in the grand
daddy class. but he is a wise old
baseball bird and should be of much
help to Hub in giving Nashville fans
a ball club.
Perdue believes that old ball
players. like old wine and veteran
hooch, are always best. He may
have a team of Methuselahs, but he
is confident they'll be able to step
with their younger rivals.
Hub says he is going to put Nash

lieved 1t of several golden sheaves.

have been afflicted had It not been for the
too excess use Of tobacco, and thousands
would soon get well II they would only
stop the Incorporate use OF tobacco. The
chief habit forming principle Of tobacco
is nicotine. a deadly poison which, when

of tobacco varies and depends on circCm-
stances. One viii be afflicted with general

arteries, tuberculosis blindness or even

form you can easily detect the harmful
effects by making the following simple
