BABE RUTH'S GREAT
 COMEBACK SHINES
Was Outstanding Feature of 1928
 in Baseball

The major league season of 1928 was featured by many unusual hap penings.
 The tragedy of the year was fur nished by the failure of George SisIer to hold down first base for the St. Louis Browns.
 Voted the most valuable player in the American league in 1922, Sisler was ihe outstanding figure in baseball His club had been beaten by a one- game margin for the pennant. The experts picked the Browns as the best bet for 1923 if Sisler continued his great play.
 During the winter months Sisler suffered an eye affliction that failed to respond to treatment. As a result the most valuable player of 1922 was a mere spectator during the 1923 sea- son. The Browns finished in the sec- ond division.

With tho season half over. the Yankees stepped out and distanced their rivals. while the Giants were pressed all the way.
 In the two previous world series meetings between tho Yankees and the Giants, tho American league en- try had been q strong favorite and was beaten both times out. In the 1928 event. while the Yankees were still strongly favored, a number Of the experts liked the chances of the Giants. This time the Yankees cross ed them mp by capturing the honors for the American league.

 Rangers Win second Half.
 Although they were defeated in the city league game at the armory Sat- urday night by the score of 11 to 90 by the snappy Ranger outfit, the Fall cons were not outplayed and for their first game as unit they played re- marka ble brand of ball. Coming on- to the floor an unknown outfit, they soon had the Rangers worried, and when the first half ended were in the lead by score of l to [. AS was the case a week ago, the Rangers won in the second half by burst of speed and shooting.
 The teamwork and floor passing of the Falcons was far superior to that of the Rangers and had they been able to shoot one-quarter as well as they passed they would have won handily. As it was. they missed enough baskets to have won two or three games. On thea other hand, the Rangers. when they did got the ball, made the most of it and sunk about as many shots as they missed. For the Falcons. the fiashy floor work, dribbling and shooting Of Jasper stood out, while the efficient guard ing of Captain F. Kania was likewise very good. Time and time again he broke up the Ranger teamwork and started his team on the way to what would have been an overwhelming lead had they been able 10 locate the hoop once they got under the basket.

In these words O.. E. Bradfute,
president of the American Farm
Federation Bureau today epito-
mized the situation facing the great
army Of approximately 5000, 900
wheat farmers in the grain belts
following a drop of 10 cents q

Continuance of wheat at the
dollar bushel mark means nothing

ate upward turn Of the market, for
which at present 1 can see no hope,
| there will be nothing for these
farmers to do except throw up their
hands and quit or put themselves
heavily in debt in order to survive
| until better prices prevail.
| Dollar wheat in Chicago means
| that the farmer is unable to pur-
chase the necessaries for himself
and his family
The farmers purchasing power
is based on the price his wheat
brings. When it is low he has TO
deliver more wheat to secure a dol
lars worth of merchandise. The
more wheat he has to deliver for
each dollars worth, the quicker his
supply is exhausted and the less he
gets for his money"
Mr.. Bradfute declared that the
loss to the farmer in revenue from
wheat based on a crop Of 500 AOO Oo)
bushels has been approximately
$8O,OOO,OO0 during the past two
weeks, when wheat dropped from
! $l.lO q bushel to it's present level

F RHEUMATIC
 EAT NO SWEETS
Says Glass of Salts Helps to over
 come Rheumatism Acid.

Rheumatism is easier to avoid than to cure, states a well known author ity, We are advised to dress warmly, keep the feet dry, avoid exposure, and above all, drink plenty of good water and avoid eating sweets of all kind
 Rheumatism is caused by body waste and acids resulting from food fermentation. It is the function of the Kidneys to filter this poison from the blood and cast it out in the urine; the pores of the skin are also a means of freeing the blood of this impurity. In damp and chilly cold weather the skin pores are closed, thus forcing the kidneys to do double work; they become weak and sluggish and fail to eliminate this waste and acids, which keep accommodating and circu- lating through the system, eventually settling in the joints and musc.' 's, ] causing stiffness, soreness and parl- called rheumatism.
 At the first twinge of rheumatisq get from any pharmacy about fout ounces of lad Salts; put tablespoon full in a glass of water and drink be- fore breakfast each morning for d week. This is helpful to neutralize accidity. remove waste matter, also to stimulate the kidneys, thus often rid ding the blood of rheumatic poison.
