RUTH ISN'T THE ONLY FAMOUS
"BABE0 IN THE MAJORS
BY Roe DoRMAN.

Pitchers may come and pitchers may
go. but / go on forever.
That might werl be the slogan Of Babe
Adams. veteran Pirate hurler who is lead
ing the National league in box work and
who is largely responsible for keeping the
Pirates IN the nennant race.
Babe is 3S. For 10 years he has been
feeding EN- over IN the big league and
for nine years before that he was in the
minors.
II haven't any special rules for keeping
in shape" he says. I eat what 1 want,
bur regularly. and / get plenty of sleep. !,
II have always taken good care Of my
self and it has mighty well repaid rae.
When other fellows with whom I started
are all in, their physical powers burned
up, go along feeling like a youngster.
Il love baseball. and I'm going to keep
on playing as long as the old wing will
stand for it.
4 don't know why my arm holds up so
Well unless It's the way ! grip the ball
Most pitchers, you know, grip the ball as
tightly as possible, thinking they can get
more break on it that way
I always have made it practice to
hold the ball loosely. I believe it gives
me better control. and it certainly is
easier on the arm"

RHEUMATISM DUE
TO WASTE PRODUCTS
In THE BLOOD
For Genuine Relief Your Blood Must
Be Purified.

AS the blood circulates, 1t has two
functions to perform, First: to carry
nourishment to all parts OF the body.
Second: to take up the waste products
and cast them out through the proper
channels.
When waste products accumulate in
the system, they are a menace to life.
They cause a lowered vitality, many
forms of skin disorders and rheumat-
ism.
There is no disease more painful;
nor a disease that will lead to as much
serious trouble as rheumatism Genu-
inc relief can be had only by correct
ing the basic trouble-waste products.
Thousands and thousands of men
and women during the past SO years
have cleared their blood of waste
products with S. S. S. 1t is the ideal
remedy for rheumatism, because it re-
moves the poisonous waste matter
which is causing the trouble. There
are no bad after effects and the
result is wonderful. Begin taking
S. S. S. today and write for Sc page
