RENTING

PURE WATER IS
HEALTH BUILDER
Few Persons Drink Enough
During Cold Weather.

When cold weather comes along
persons just naturally seem to try
to dry up. They stop drinking
enough water for their systems.
1t is a we'll recognized fact that
most persons in the winter season
do not drink enough water to per-
nit the system to function as it
should. Where groups are gathered
together, as in large offices, this fail
ure actually costs the employer
money. His employees become le-
thargic, lack pep, do not think quick
enough.
The way to remedy this is to give
them a drink supply they will like.
Most people do the things they like,
and if the people in the Office get
into the habit Of drinking Crystal
Spring water they will keep it up
through the winter because they
like it.
An attractive outfit can be rented
of the Ostermeyer Paper Company.
It consists of Frigidaire water
cooler, a supply of sanitary paper
drinking cups, and good deep spring
water at deep spring temperature.
The companys offices are at 148
Virginia avenue. The telephone is
Ri. 1902. Plenty of good spring
water will keep one poppy, help to
undo the effects of the confinement
of the winter months and actually
make dollars and cents for the con-
Germ that uses it.

HEATING PLANT
REQUIRES CARE
CheCkup Before Winter Is
Trouble Insurance.

1t is an excellent thing, before
winters rigors begin, to check up
on the heating system. A leaking
connection or a valve that does not
work will cause more than enough
trouble when winter strikes, and it
can be taken care Of now with the
minimum of attention and inconve-
nience.
The long established firm of L. B.
Skinner & Sons, 815 North New
Jersey street, has been in the steam
heating business for about third
of a century, and out of the wealth
of experience CLEANED in that time
is able to help the householder
greatly in all questions of repair or
readjustment Of heating plants as
well as in installation of new
plants.
The firm is in the plumbing con-
tracing business as we'll as being
heating engineers, and prides itself
on the service that has maintained
it in business all Of this time. 1t
will be pleased to talk over any
plumbing or heating problems with
any one at any time.

HEATER IS EFFICIENT
Motorists Are Advised to
Prepare for Winter.

In view the recent cold wave,
heralding approach of winter, the
Perfection Windshield company
suggests motorists who have no
heaters in their cars would do well
to discuss the subject of Francisco
auto heater, which is guaranteed to
deliver more heat than any other
heater regardless of price, and to
renew and purify the air in the car
every few minutes, thus avoiding
any car sickness or languor.
The Perfection company, located
at IS West Pratt street, is the local
distributor for this popular heater
which is so powerful that it has been
used successfully on open cars,
maintaining a degree Of comfort in
side the curtains that is noticeable.
The heater is very simple to in
stall, does not require the cutting OF
any parts and supplies only pure air
taken right back to the fan. 1t covers
both the intake and exhaust mani
fold, serving as a hot spot that
causes better vaporization of the
gasoline in cold weather.

EXPERIENCE IN
BUILDING WORK
AIDS CITY FIRM
Firms Operations Have
Been Extensive in 18
Years Existence.

To list the buildings that have
been erected by the OStrum Realty
and Construction Company, build
ers, 1874 East Market street. is just
about to call the roll of business
structures and social buildings.
The Ostrum company has built
hotels, laundries, business blocks.
clubhouses, machine shops, bakeries.
apartment houses, public garages
mortuaries, dormitories, theaters,
fraternity and sorority houses, ar
mories, pest houses and residences,
together with considerable amount
of alteration and repair work.
In the eighteen years it has been
in business as a contracting COM
pany 1t has accumulated a vast
amount of experience. This expe-
rience is a valuable stock in trade
for with it this company is able to
plan, finance and complete any kind
of building.
It operates throughout the middle
west, will go anywhere and gives to
each and every undertaking the
benefit of a trained personnel gifted
with sympathetic insight into the
ambitions and purposes Of other folk
and willing to go a long way in
helping them to realize this.
H. w. Ostrum, president, laid
down such a platform some time
ago when ne said:
ANY building construction job, to
be efficiently and economically
prosecuted, must have personal at
tention and skilled supervision. No
two jobs present the same problem,
and the conscientious building
operator is in reality the partner
of the man for whom he builds.
Sound advice in every phase of
building promotion is as necessary
and indispensable as sound mortar"
Backed by ample resources, in a
position to finance the structure
within any sound business limit,
qualified by personnel that knows
its business, and with a fine repu-
tation to tie to, the OStrum Realty
and Construction Company is in a
position to serve and serve well.
Officers include: Felix M. McWhir-
ter, treasurer. and Susan M.
Ostrum, vice-president and secre-
tary.

.REFINISHING OF
HOME ARTICLES
IS MADE EASY
Beautiful, Lasting Surface
Obtained With Use of
Lacquer, Enamel.

The Perfection Windshield Com
pany. 25 West Pratt street, is the To-
cal distributor for two products that
if better known to the average
householder would answer lot Of
problems in interior finish.
One of these which is quite ia
miliar is Waterspar lacquer, by
which any interior surface can be
furnished with amazing ease and
speed. In fact, a table lacquered
right after breakfast can be used
for luncheon.
But the chief merit of this lac
quer is not claimed to be its speed
in drying. 1t furnishes lustrous
silkline sheen that requires no pol
ish. A mere wiping with a soft
cloth will restore all the original
beauty, and it is claimed that its
soft beauty actually is enhanced by
age.
The other product is called Ban
zai enamel Results in it are less
dependent upon skill in application
than ordinary enamels, and the
| permanence OF BanzaIS gra1nless
glass-smooth finish, as washable as
highly glazed porcelain, is an
achievement of paint chemistry.
1t may be used on wood, metal,
plaster and brick, exterior and in
terror. Unusual toughness is
claimed for it. 1t is said strip of
tin, properly undercoated and fin
isheo with Banzai, may be bent and
pounded double without cracking
this superior finish.
Architects, painters and decora-
tors use it in the highest class of
house finishing. and the house
holder can secure better results in
a surface easy to keep clean and
soft to the eye.

materially has increased in the last
few years as more persons realize
the necessity of good food to main
tain health and promote proper
| growth.
It has been established definitely
that bacteria and contaminated air
in an ice box are purified by use
Of ice as a refrigerant. Settling of
bacteria and other noxious elements
on the ice as the air is circulating
through the ice box is washed away
with the water from the melting
ice.
Meat and vegetables maintain
their full food value and weight
when preserved with ice and the
housewife is not forced to place wet
cloths over meat and vegetables to
! preserve moisture. Wrapping of
foods prevents the escape of the
bacteria in the circulating air.
The Artificial Ice and Cold Storage
Company also deals in coal and fuel
and handles the best grade Of West
Virginia, Kentucky, and Indiana
Goals. All coal orders will receive
the same personal supervision as the
public has learned to expect when
dealing with this company.
1t seldom occurs to users Of coal
that there are literally hundreds of
grades of this fuel and that each
one is different from the others in
fuel value suitability for domestic
use and cleanliness.
Formed by Pressure
Nature made coal by the process
of immense pressure over great beds
Of vegetation. Sometimes a single
operation of the kind covered
hundreds of miles. This is called
a vein of coal, and classified by
trade name.
In certain places the coal is clean,
comparatively free from sulphur
and shale, and ready for use. In
other places it is not worth mining
because it is mixed with too much
foreign substance. There are many
grades in between. Some burn
freely to few ashes. Others form
clinkerS and are hard to handle.
Few persons can tell by looking
at coal how it will act in the fur
mace. Large coal consumers can
afford expensive tests to discover
the best coal for specialized use, but
the cost is prohibitive to families.
The householder is forced to de-
pend on the character of the dealer.
Persons who shop around for the
lower price seldom get bargains, for
really good coal commands it's price.
Branch Is Maintained
But when they deal with compa-
MES as reliable as the Artificial Ice
and Cold Storage Company, OF which
A. G. Coll Is manager, they are as
sured Of satisfaction. BY following
advice Of officials of this company
the coal consumer is likely to get
more heat for the money, which is
better than buying more coal and
less heat, even at lower prices.
1t pays to place fuel problems in
the hands of reliable dealer, and,
when the best type of coal for the
needs is found, to insist on having
coal from that dealer.
The Artificial Ice and Cold Sto-
rage Company's main office is To-
Gated at 326 West Ohio street, tele-
phone Ii. 6443, and its branch is 10
Gated at Forty-second street and
Monon railroad, HUI. 1865.

OTHERS INRUNN|NG,
DEMPSEY BELIEVES
Jack Is Attempting to Match
SchmeIing and GriffithS
for Chicago Scrap.
BY FRANCIS ]. POWERS.

- HICAGO, February THE win
ner of the Miami Beach squall
between Jack Sharkey and Phil
Scott may be the heavyweight
champion to the New York Boxing
Commission and the Madison Square
Garden crowd, but not for Jack
Dempsey.
John was king of the heavyweights
long enough to know the qualifications
for wearing the imperial crown at the
proper angle, and one OF them, he be-
lieves, is a victory over either Max
Schmeling, the Black Uhlan of the
Rhine, or Gerald Ambrose Grifhths,
who also is known as 'TuHy."
So Dempsey is planning to stage a
duel between Schmeling and Grifnths
in one Of Chicago's outdoor arenas dur
ing the coming Summer, If it is possible
for him to arrange such contest. And
there are many reasons why the two
may be elected to fight under the
Dempsey banner.
Schmeling still is geeting frowns
from the New York Boxing Commission
and has almost forgotten the feel OF
nicely minted marks.
Griffths and his manager have q
real peeve at the Madison Square
uAAA Will 6OOO ACo-
son. fluffy" fought and defeated
Johnny Risko in New York for con-
siderably less money than if the bout
had been held in Chicago, because he
believed it would entitled him to first
shot at Sharkey in the Miami Beach
brawl. To say he was chagrined when
Phil Scott was elected as the Boston
Gob's foil is putting it very mildly.
Dempsey will make serious effort to
stage the Schmeling -Grifiths fight and
may stage a heavyweight elimination
tournament.
There still is the chance that Demp-
sey may return to the ring for one more
bout-perhaps with the winner of the
Schmeling- GrifdthS fight. Jack has
not said he would fight again, nor has
he said he was through with the gloves.
AS one of his close friends puts it: mo
man knows Dempsey'S mind, and per-
haps he does not himself"

BUSTING INTO BASE BALL
''How l Broke Into the Major Leagues %
majors before the doors would be opened

majors before the doors would be opened
ana ID be allowed to remain.
MY entry into the majors occurred
iate IN 1921 at Pittsburgh, but 1t SO
happened that the Pirates and the
Giants were locked up in one OF the
most important series of the champion
snip nght, and it was not until the
very last day of the season that got
q cnance to play. This happened In
81: Louis, and was sent In to play
right neld. Billy Sherdel was the pitcher
for the st. Louis Cardinals, and I can
remember we'll how he fooled me with
his famous slow ball and struck me out
again, the second trip to the plate;
Sherdel used his cunning, and popped
a weak little foul to the catcher.
On my third trip to bat, however,
got even and obtained my first major
league safe hit. Taking a light bat:
I went to the plate determined to LAY
for Sherdel's slow ball, and, sure enough,
it came. I hammered it back at Milton
Stock, who knocked it down, but was
too, that in the field one of the balls
hit in my territory was one by Rogers
Hornsby, which crashed against the
wall over my head. It was my hrst
glimpse of Rogers.
Since it was the last day of the sea-
son had to start all over again the
next Spring and was shipped away, and
then again in 1923 was labeled for
another trip to the minors, but came
back that Fall and have been regular
ever since.
Breaking into the majors, you see,
isn't always a matter of just going up,
and if you don't land the first time, it's
no sign you won't get there some day
If you keep fighting!

SHOWS WEAKNESS
IN BEATING OWENS.
Defense Not Good, Although
He Scores Knockout in
Second Round.
BY EDWARD p. DUFFY.

n YEW YORK, February 7.-As
NJ white hope Primo Camera, the
Italian giant, remains a ques-
ton mark, despite the fact
that he toppled over his third victim
in the ring in record time last night
when he knocked out Cowboy Bill owens
in Newark in the second round.
His three American ring efforts have
taken him just about five minutes.
He knocked out Big Boy Peterson
here in / minute and 10 seconds.
Elzear Rioux lasted Al seconds In Chi
cago. Owens went the tremendous dis
lance Of one round ana rs SECONDS OF
the second round.
Cowboy owens, q colored heavyweight
from the West, who had been knocked
out several times by George Godfrey,
scarcely could be said to have put up
fight at all, and his sudden departure
so soon in the engagement lacked the
convincing elements of many other
knockouts seen in the same ring.
There is little doubt that Camera
struck him with right to the jaw, but
to many at the ringside who saw him
topple to the floor there was genuine
surprise when the fallen boxer did not
arise when Referee Gene Roman
counted 10.
His condition was not bad, and he
walked easily to his dressing room IN q
' Camera weighed 276 pounds and
Owens 900, yet the latter, big as ne
is, looked small compared to the Italian.
when they got into clinches during
the brief bout Owens arms when thrown
around his opponents waist reminded
one of a child trying to get hers around
a corn,lent mother
Nevertheless Camera was fast on his
feet and quick with his hands, both
right and left. He jabbed pretty well
and showed it would not take long Tor
competent instruction to teach MIN 10
follow up his left leads with a damag-
ing right-hand blow:
But owens revealed what may be con-
sidered Cameras weakness-the de-
Tense. ANY first-claSs hard-punching
heavyweight with the opportunities
that owens had might have hurt Car
nera severely with hard, well delivered
punches to the spot Owens found.
NEW YORK, February P.--There
are no figures to prove IL, out the SuS-
picion grows that Primo Camera, Vene-
tan carpenter, will be the highest paid
athlete in the United States within
almost as short q time as 1t takes 70

The giant italian heavyweight knocked
out Cowboy Billy Owens, Cherokee In
dian from Guthrie, Okla, in minutes
and Is seconds of fighting at Newark
last night and boosted his total earn
ings in America to something between
SAC, 900 and $4,000.
Camera has made three ring appear
ances since he came to this country
and knocked out three men in tota
| ring time Of minutes, % seconds
That makes his earnings average ap.
proximately $4,000 for every minute hi

He pitched % consecutive games for
Providence that year. That is another

bali players would shrink from. Two
games week is about the maximum
for a pitcher now. Radbourne pitched
six a week. and if the week had been

No pitcher ever was so much beloved
by his fellow players. They talked
about him until they talked themselves

all over the United States. He was

Joe McGinnity was given the title be-

Radbourne was not a big man nor
was he frail He had a peculiar ierkv

They swung with might and "squashed. {"
