my mother knew of my condition
and wrote and told me to try Tanlac,
as II had given her great relief. | act

proved most effective in my case also.

nerves got steady and | was soon so
strong and energetic that the work OF
my house became pleasure instead Of
burden.

GOOD IN BASE BALL

London, Ohio. June l4.-The Hous-
tonia Base Ball Club of this city, the
fastest semi professional ball club in

success to the effective, or 1 should
say, phenomenal pitching of Bryce
Moore. He has won eight straight
games with no defeats. has record
of eighteen strike outs to the game.
While Moore is just a youngster he
hurls the ball like an oldhead. not only
does he pitch great game, but is also
hitting right around the 300 mark.
The diminutive Moore is ranked as one
Of the very best moundsmen in this
part OF the state, and the day is not
far distant when our popular pitcher
will be up in the big show, and it's a
good bet that he will give an account
of himself in any class Of baseball. He
has most all of the curves known to
the game. lots of speed, and above all
perfect control. Also knowing the
right thing to do at all times; in ether
words he is a regular ball player from
head to foot He is mighty popular
with the fans. and the idol of his
teammates.
Moore down that way send him here
This club has five pitchers on their
staff, four catchers, five infielders.
