Life Is just a merry battle.

But to set q pace and keep IL.

They hailed Pat as a miracle.

But the honor ruined his Redlegs.

One mistake followed another.

And the dope for 1920

The little something which made
Cincinnati walk through in 1918 has
been missing in 1920.
Right off the bat this spring they
began fighting the umpires instead
OF the other seven clubs.
They made their pitchers believe
they were getting the worst OF tine
umpires' decisions, with the result
that the star hurlers of a year ago
lost their systems.
Other clubs lost all love for the
Reds and began playing their heads
or against them, which got results
Discipline was neglected. both on
the playing field and in the players
on hours. The club lost its barber
shop harmony.
Now, with the feeling that the
world Is against them, Pat Moran's
boys are in the same plight as Lots
wife was when she looked back.
It's too late.
Moran's pitching staff in the
spring of 1919 was much the same
as your Uncle Wilbert Robinson's
hurlers were last April. They were
mostly cast-offs or fellows who had

URIC ACID IN MEAT
CLOGS THE KIDNEYS
Take a Glass of Salts If Your Back
Hurts or Bladder
Bothers.

If you must have your meat every
day, eat it, but flush your kidneys with
salts occasionally, says a noted au-
thority who tells us that meat forms
uric acid which almost paralyzes the
kidneys in their efforts to expel it
from the blood. They become slug
gish and weaken, then you suffer with
a dull misery in the kidney region,
sharp pains in the back or sick head
ache, dizziness, your stomach sours,
tongue is coated and when the weather
is bad you have rheumatic twinges.
The urine gets cloudy, full of sedi-
ment, the channels often get sore and
irritated, obliging you to seek relief
two or three times during the night.
To neutralize these irritating acids,
to cleanse the kidneys and flush off
the body's urinous waste get four
ounces of Jad Salts from any phar-
macy here; take a tablespoonful in a
glass of water before breakfast for a
few days and your kidneys will then
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 sluggish kidneys, also
to neutralize the acids in urine, SO it
no longer irritates, thus ending bladder
weakness.

" OUCH DERG, environed by
hills, in the southern part of
County Donegal, also claims
- the distinction of having an
island on which is st. Patrick's purga-
