cine. 1t helps the kidneys, liver and blad-
der do the work nature intended they
should do.

1t is sold by all druggists on its merit
and it should help you. No other kidney
medicine has so many friends.

motor raises sufficient quantity for
ordinary purposes. Most Of the cars
how built are fitted with hot air tubes
leading from the exhaust pipe to the
fixed air inlet of the carburetor, thus
permitting only hot air to enter, which
aids in gasfying the gasoline.
This hot air tube will be of no par

with full power. When Hoppe hits
his cue ball, he doesn't try to see how
hard he can drive it, but in all other
particulars, such as timing and 'fol-
low through" he does very much the
same thing as the mighty Babe"
One offers the objection, possibly,
that Hoppe is hitting a stationary OBJ
ject, while Babe" Is forced to meet
a fast-moving ball and one whose
trajectory is erratic. This is offset by
the fact that Ruth must simply meet
the ball fairly and with force, while
Hoppe must cue the ivory in such a
manner that it will take english of the
desired sort and with just the proper
amount of force to bring 1t to stop
in good position for the succeeding
shot.
Hoppe Makes Many.
Ruth creates a furore in the sport
ing world by hitting half a hundred
home runs in the course of a season.
Hoppe makes several times that many
shots calling for the maximum of per-
lection in a single evening. And If
Ruth does not get hold of the ball"
exactly right he may get base hit
through the infield, or foul ball that
will give him another chance. But
Hoppe, if he doesn't make his shot eX-
actly right every time, gets nothing at
all.

admit that he played baseball,
he smacked one against a Los
Angeles pitcher. Being on for

roar of anguish and discomfort
as the ball went over the fence.
A peaceable, law-abiding lion,
slumbering in his cage In the adj
jacent zoo, came to bat with a
roar even more audible when
the ball doomed against the top
of the cage. The dismal moan
of the beast led fans to believe
Ping had killed the animal, and
such was the news printed In
all the Pacific coast papers the
next day.
