Bruises in Furniture

Here is method which has been of
great use in removing bruises from
furniture. Wet the part with warm
water; double piece of brown paper
five or six times. then soak it in warm
water and lay it on the dent. Apply
a warm tnot hoD 6atiron until the
moisture has eyaporated. If the
bruises are not gone, repeat the proc
ess. You will find this very good,
and if the surface Of the furniture is
not broken the dent will disappear
and leave no trace.

Into the night went Neeck, IIowIe
and the others ut the command of
the old prophet There was only one
hnrbor on this unfriendly coast and
that was the railroad station. so the
boys tramped over there and pre-
pared 20 spend the night on the
benches In the waiting-room. Such
Is often newspaper mans lot.
Howie had with him 4 photograph
OF Dowie's young and beautiful and
DISQUALIFICATION ward. which he
had secured from the tavern In some
mysterious way known only to ma
g!cians and pirates and newspaper
men. The Dowieites discovered the
loss OF the picture and sent myrmi-

That is the road to the top of the
newspaper hill.
What kind OF story were you

OF William Veeck.. II wanted some
thing for the good OF the game" re-
piled Vecok.
Defender of Players.
And it is my firm opinion that
wrigley made a most decided move
for the good OF the game when he
appointed this newspaper man to
head his ball club. Having been a
newspaper man many more years
than magnate, Veeck is naturally
strong for the players. I asked him
why he sought to buy that bad actor.
Heinie Groh. And he actually stood
up for Groh, even though no did not
get him. "Groh is great player"
declared Veeck. and he has a right
to seek for all he can get for his
services. a ball players major league
life Is short mt best. His very next
game may be the last OF his major
career. His feet arc tickle and his
arm is fra!l. I am for Groh because
believe he always played his best
for Cincinnati. even IL he did feel
that he was not being paid enough
for his services. Groh's record
speaks louder than his hard words
about more pay. He had n right to
talk and to complain as long as he
turned in sucn batting and fielding
averages every year. They, and they
alone count"
