Kid Gleason OF the Chicago White
Sox is one OF the most optimistic CT
baseball bosses. The Kid couldn't see
defeat until the scoreboards had
chalked 1t UP last fall, and even then
he still declared he managed better
team than the one bossed by Pat
Moran. And although baseball fans
and critics have sort of felt that Eddie
Cicotte performed as miracle last
season the Kid believes he is going to
be just as good this year. Eddie Is
pretty well along in years and they
say he depended a great deal on his
shine ball last year. This spring he is
a year older and the shine ball is ia
boo. How come, Kid?

Babe Ruth is adding a new one to
his home run trophy case.
The money spotlight is focused on
him with pretty high candle power.
It's the old money sign in capital
letters. Babe is having his inning.
Last spring Babe signed three
year contract with the Red Sox, call
ing for a salary of $4,000 per annum.
He hung up the home run record ia
1919. Now he is hanging up a money
record.
When he demanded $4,000 year
for his services in 1920 Harry Frazee
made the famous $125,0O0 deal with
the New York Yankees.
Ruth wants a slice of that.
Winterbaseball in California prob
ably netted him $4,000 or more.
Baseball has been very kind to the
Babe. He's worth it.

Says His Prescription
Has Powerful Influence
Over Rheumatism

Mr.. James Fl. Allen suffered for years
with rheumatism. Many times this ter
rible disease left him helpless and I'M
able to work.
He finally decided, after years of
eeaseless study, that no one can be free
from rheumatism until the accumulated
impurities, commonly called uric acid
deposits, were dissolved in the joints
and muscles and expelled from the
body.
With this idea in mind he consulted
physicians, made experiments and final
ly compounded a prescription that
quickly and completely banished every
sign and symptom from his system.
He freely gave his discovery to
others who took it, with what might
be called marvellous success. After
years of urging he decided to let suf-
ferers everywhere know about his dis
covery through the newspapers. All
druggists have been appointed agents
for Allenrhu in this vicinity with the
understanding that they will freely re-
turn the purchase money to all who
state they received no benefit.

CONFIDENT OF AMERICA.
Lloyd George Says 1t VIII Come Into
League-Would Tax Irish.

LONDON, Oct. The first number of
the new Lloyd George Liberal Maya
zine" which is to be issued monthly
with the object of supporting the govern
ment policy, appeared today. 1t contains
special interview with the premier, de-
voted to the defense of the coalition gov
eminent.
incidentally Mr. Lloyd George ex'
presses the belief that the United States
viii formally join the league of nations
after the presidential election and as
serts that when Germany also enters,
which will be as soon as she gives proof,
of her good faith, the league will become
an effective instrument instead of as now,
n mere league of the allies.
Discussing Ireland, the premier refuses
to believe that the supporters OF MIR. As
ouith have the smallest assurance that
they could carry dominion home rule
even if they had a majority IN the
house of commons He argues that quite
apart from the difficulty concerning the
army and navy, the British people. did
not like to consent to a measure giving
ireland. control of her own taxation, be-
cause that would almost certainly result
in Ireland evading the taxation necessary
to provide for the obligations OF the ma
tiopal war debt. .,
The premier, however, admits that il
someone entitled to speak for Ireland:
and whose word could be trusted, would
undertake the necessary guarantees IN
this respect it would be a different mat
tor. The premier reviews many, points
of the national Motley, without, throwing
any noteworthy light on the subject.

RAILROAD MENDIsCHARGED.
Slump in Freight Causes Release of zoo
in Cincinnati.

CINCINNATI, Oct. 7.-MOre than
200 railroad men have been dismissed
within the last two weeks in Cincinnati
because of a slump in the movement of
freight. Approximately 1000 loads of
freight passed through this terminal ev-
cry day under normal conditions. The
movement during the past week has av-
craged 5000 loads daily. Reports from
shippers declare the slump is the result
of the moral effect the cut in automo-
bile prices has had on business in prices.
