ST. LOUIS DOWNS
CHESTYYANKEES
IN OPENING GAME
Timely Hitting Enables Them
to Gain Decision on
New York Field. y

st. Louis won the first game of
a double header, today with the
Yankees at the Polo Grounds this
afternoon 8 to as the opener of
a four game cruclai series that
may have a big bearing on the
final result of the pennant race
in the American League Shock
er was on the mound for the
Browns, while Hoyt was the pitch
ing selection for the Yankees.
Murray relieved Hoyt in the
ninth.
Shocker was in rare form and
held the Yankees helpless until
the ninth, when they showed over
their lone tally. Timely hitting
in the second and sixth innings
by the Browns produced their
three runs. ST. Louis hit Hoyt
rather freely throughout the
game, but sharp fielding lifted
him out of several bad holes.
A spectacular double play in
the ninth inning, after Murray
had relieved Hoyt on the mound
for New York, prevented further
scoring by the Browns.
The Browns made ten hits dur
ing the game, while the best the
Yanks could do was to annex six
scattered bingles from the offer
5ings of the ace OF the st. Louis
moundsmen. A capacity crowd
was on hand.

AT LESS MEAT
IF BACK HURTS
Take glass of Salts to flush Kidneys
if Bladder bothers you-Drink
lots of water.

Eating meat regularly eventually pro-
duces kidney trouble in some form OF
other, says well-known authority, be-
cause the uric acid in meat excites the
kidneys, they become overworked; get
sluggish; clog up and cause all sorts of
distress, particularly backache and mis-
cry in the kidney region; rheumatic twin
ges, severe headaches, acid stomach, con-
stipatiou, torpid liver, sleeplessness,
bladder and urinary irritation.
The Aoment your back hurts or kid
neys aren't acting right, or if bladder
bothers you, get about four ounces Of
Jad Salts from any good pharmacy;
take tablespoonful in glass of water
before breakfast for 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 clogged kidneys and stimulate them
to normal activity; also to neutralize the
acids in the urine so it no longer irri-
tates, thus ending bladder disorders.
o Jad Salts cannot injure anyone;
makes a delightful efferyeseent lithia-
water drink which millions of men and
women take now and then to keep the
kidneys and urinary organs clean, thus
avoiding serious kidney disease.

liver medicine, we use. We use 1t

ache, indigestion :. don't think we
could get along without 1t, knowing
what 1t has done for us, and the money

Its use. My boys use 1t and they are
satisfied it's the best liver medicine
they have ever used"
Thedford's Black-Draught Is purely

Princess Therma's window.
But before anyone had time tc
climb the tree, there was noise in
the air and Nancy, Nick and the
dove arrived, followed in a moment
by King Verde, who looked like a
flying machine.
When King Indig saw King Yer

Princess Therma looked at them
both and shuddered. Then she
strcked the white dove which had
flown to her window sill.

them," she sighed. "They are both
so ugly"
Suddenly the falcon cried out,
"Silence everybody! 1t is now to be

men is the finer looking. Longhead

words are on a record which the

dogs run about for the next year to

make the job pay so well that the
