QUESTIONS 6 ANSWERS
MYOPIA


 Did you say adrenalin solution dropped in the eyes prevents in- crease in -sightedness in cases of myopia? Although I have cor rect glasses my eyesight seems to be getting poorer? (M. G..
 Answer-One drop of 1 to 1000 so- lution of adrenalin chloride (other- wise called epinephrin) dropped in each eye three times day over a prolonged period of four or five years, seems to retard the progress of myopia and the increase of near sightedness. It is harmless in any case. The adrenalin or epinephrin solution should be fresh. It should be kept in a dark place, for expos- ure to light turns 1t pink or reddish and destroys its potency.

 Answer-Any fresh fruit or fresh green vegetable or relish contains plenty of vitamin c. Classical sources are the citrus fruits or theii juices, grapefruit, lemon. orange, lime.

 Applying rouge in rough-edged splotches, wearing heavy perfume to the office, going out with chippeds cracked or peeling nail polish or letting cuticle and hands become discolored or calloused are OBVIOUS errors in beauty, of course. Ana almost every fastidious woman ls careful not to let such mistakes mar her appearance.
 However, there are dozens of less conspicuous crimes against good looks, and one who is ever anxious to be more attractive needs these, too. For instance, drah, slightly oily hair is decidedly. not pretty. Ana, flecks of dandrlff spoil the aps pearance of the loveliest coiffure.' Yet, unless she has been serious. ly iil and has not fully recovered no woman has any real excuse 10 offer for either of these hair faults. A weekly shampoo, night- ly brushing and sensible, healthy diet make for beautiful, shining locks. If you really care about your hair you won't neglect 1t.
 A hem which Is not quite straight Q slightly dingy white collar, sotled gloves, run-down heels, unpublished shoes, a dusty hat--these are c few more sins against perfect grooming.
 Furthermore, it's mistake, not to mention Q waste of money, to buy good creams and lotions, then be careless about using them correctly. If you do not know exactly what creams to buy, consult an unbiased expert or put yourself in the hands of Q reputable beauty salon. Once you have the preparations, do read the labels.
 Tho best night cream in the world will not improve the ap- pearance of your skin If you ap- ply 1t only once or twice . week. one mask treatment may have excellent temporary effects, but if you are serious about eliminating sallowness and discouraging minor blemishes, apply Q mask once Q week--every week.

August 2, 1916, at Philadelphia (This is the greatest Ito o duel be- tween two pitchers fought on any 2nd day of Augusta
 Grover Cleveland Alexander gained a great decision over Mike Prendergast and the Cubs, when Pat Moran's Phillies scored the only run of the game in the last of the twelfth.
 Both hurlers pitched exceptional ball, and, but for an error, there is no telling how long these two might have striven for supremacy.
 Bill Killifer singled to open Phila- delphia's last half of the twelfth; Alexander. trying to sacrifice, missed the ball, and Catcher Wilson shot it to first to pick Killifer oil the bag, but the throw was wild and Killifer went all the way to third.

BETTING HEAVY ON
 BELLUS-BAKER GO

South Norwalk, Aug. 2-Johnny Bellus, New Haven pride who will get c long-awaited crack at Phil Bakers New England lightweight crown here Friday, hoisted the warning signal 6 little higher for Baker when he stopped Eddie Alzek of New York in 1.20 Of the third round of a scheduled ten-rounder at Long Beach, L. l., last Friday night.
 The latest evidence of Bellus dy- namiting punching followed closely on the heels of such notable recent featS as landing the veteran Lew Feldman in the resin three times before carrying of 6 clean-cut vic- tory: and knocking out the experi- enced Joey Costa.
 The Alzek.Bellus fight was stopped after Bellus had dropped Alzek to the canvas three times for counts of nine.
 An unusual amount of wagering Is expected to be made on the out come of Fridays main event at the State street Arena, with local bet- tors rallying to the support of the defending champ, a native son. Bel- Jus, on the strength of his recent showings, should enter the ring a favorite. but there are many who figure on Bakers eXverience to make him at least an even match for the Elm City Pole.
 The complete card O. g rounds has been arranged. Two sizes will be offered, with Georgie Fitch, New Haven. and Gene Bonin, Williman- tic, principals in one of them; and Pinky Morris, Bridgeport, and Gene Gregory New Haven, rivals in the other. There will be two fours, with Eddie McGraw, New Britain, taking on Red Morrissey, Hartford; and Joey Rosia, New Britain, tackling Jimmy Riche, Hartford.

New York-tUP)-Place in norli- nation for the most valuable player in the National league this season Charles Henry Root, 3s-year-old pitcher of the Chicago Cubs.
 Root possibly won's get the award because his individual achievements may not match Joe Medwick's, Carl Hubbell's, Billy Herman's or some of the others. But If the award is based on vital contributions to the team in 6 pitch, Root wins hands down.
 Without Root. the Cubs would not be rolling on the high.road to the pennant. The broad shouldered right-hander who was born at Mid. dletown, O., way back in March IT, 1899. really was the Cubs Horatious ct the bridge.
 When the enemy was on the ram page, bombarding the Cubs best pitchers from pillar to post they al- ways sent for or Charlie. He came In from the bull.pen with Q big chew Of tobacco in his mouth, a heart aS big as Boulder Dam and q wise old head. And no much else except 6 fats ball that's lost most of it's zip, a knuckler he developed over the winter and good control. He mixed those three up to score some of the most remarkable relief vic- tories in the history of the National league.
 Beats RIzzy Dean
 Root was tossed in against Dizzy Dean, Lon Warneke and Carl Hub bell in relief roles when the Cubs seemed lost. He beat all of them. His stout-hearted pitching seemed to put new life in the Cubs and they got him the runs to win. Root kept Q steady hand and stout heart working overtime to check the best hitters in the circuit.
 Once or Charlie was sent ia to stop the Cards in a knock-down and drag-out. He got the side out in the eighth after the Cards had forged run ahead, 9-8. Then Dizzy Dean came in to save the game for the Cards. He famed the first two hitters. Then two hits produced a run, and the Cards defense fell apart and the Cubs made two more. With the score ll-9 in favor of the Cubs, Root moved the Cards down in the ninth to protect the victory.
 The next day Root came out again and saved another game, with War neke being belted to cover. Then in late July in New York they called on or Charlie to come out and be a sacrificial lamb to Carl Hubbsll, who had won six straight and hadn't lost a game in a month. The Cubs were behind, 20. but before the game was over Chicago had won, 1l-3. Hub- bell was knocked out of the oox and Root tied the Giants in knots for 1-3 innings.
 Wins 10 Games
 Root was the second Cub pitcher to win 10 games, most of them in relief roles. In one stretch he won games in a week. Unlike some of the younger pitchers now around the league, Root was always ready and willing to pitch when they needed him regardless of the score or situ- ation.
 A strange thing about Roots car- ger is the fact mat he does his best work every other year. He's good in odd years, and not so good i'll even years. Last season he won only three games and lost 6. In 1885 he win IS and lost 8 but in 1884 he could only
