Treatment in Tablet
Form - WatcK The

’
• Everybody has heard of the appar
ent wonders performed by yeast in
restoring thin, sickly and run-down
people to health. And now it is found
that even more surprising rei.uu.
are brought when yeast it taken with
iron, the great blood-builder.
Pec pie who for years were pale,
weak, anaemic and all run-down are
regaining their strength and health
almost as if by magic through this
remarkably effective combination of
lonics. And the best of it is that you
can take it in pleasant tablet form—
no need to eat yeast cakes, which are
o disagreeable to many.
The preparation! in which the'se
two great health builders have beep
combined is known’as Ironized Yeast.
This contains highly concentrated
brewer’s yeast which is far more ef
fective than ordinary baker’s yeast
because it is richer in vitamines. Vita
mines, as we all know, is the myster
ious element which science has found
to be so absolutely essential to
health. Due to modern methods of
food preparation vitamines are lack
ing in most of our commonest foods
—and that is why so many of us be
come sickly and run-down.
If you are suffering from loss of
strength, if you frequently become
exhausted, if your food has no
I’iste for you, of if you arc irritable,
! hin, pale, nervous, or generally run
down, then try this remarkable new
t,nic.
Ironized Yeast will in most cases
being a decided improvement within
three days. It will usually clear up
allow or muddy complexions within
fen days. From everywhere come en
thusiastic reports of what it is doing
tor people.
Il is packed in patented Sani-tape
’ackages and will keep indefinitely.
Its cost is no more per dose than
common yeast. Each package con
tains 10 days’ treatment and costs
idv sl.oo—or just 10 cents a day.
Special directions for children in
each package. Made by the Ironized
' east company, Atlanta, Ga.

ATLANTA TEAM MAY
TRAIN AT ALBANY
ALBANY, Sept. 30.—Atlanta’s
flub in the Southern League may
train in Albany next spring.
President R. J. Spillers, of, the !
Crackers, was in Albany yesterday •
looking oyer the situation with a I
view to bringing his 1922 baseball
gladiators here if things are favor
able.
Mr. Spillers declared frankly that ]
he proposed to visit a number of
Georgia cities and that he would take
his team to the city for training that
offers the best proposition, other
things being equal. He came here '
from Columbus, and will visit Vai- 1
dosta, Waycross and other cities be
fore going back to the Gate City.
The Crackers have trained at Bay
St. Louis, Miss., for the past several
years, but Mr. Spillers, who has re
cently acquired a controlling inter
est, in the club, is anxious to get a
spring camp in his own state. “I qni
a Georgian myself,” said Mr. Spil
lers, “we get our money from Geor
, gia people, and I would like to spend
it with Georgia people.”
REUNITED TRIO
HADE’ GIANTS
McGraw, Jennings And Burkett
Brought Them Through To
Pennant
NEW YORK, Sept. 30.—Reunited
after many years of glory and strife
on the diamond a great trio of base
ball players has brought the New
York Giants through this season’s
• battles for the pennant. John Mc-
• Graw, Hughey Jennirtg;. Jesse Bur
kett—the names of all three are writ-
1 ten at the top of the list of baseball’s
heroes.
McGraw is finishing his 20th year
as manager of the' New Yorkij and in
this year has had.as first assistant
Jennings, his old team mate on the
old team of Orioles of Baltimore and
Burdett as the second deputy. The
individual records of this trio at bat
and afield stands out among the
greatest in the history of the game.
Burkett has never bad the good
'[fortune to manage a maior league
pennant winner, but McGraw has
piloted the Giants to a goodly string
of flags and Jennings won three pen
naot? with the Timers.
, McGraw was a third baseman, first
, I with the groat Baltimore chib and
i then with St T oui' and when he
[ landed in New York ho retired as fl”
, ' a'-tivo and became' a lead 'r—o'T r, f
’ the foremo'-e j n rfta annals, of the
-ame. Jonnin'ro. -vas a shortston-;-
first with T o”ifv ; '1«. tl'<~n with Bal
■ timore .and finallrt with Brqoklvn.
l His work as man-.in Detroit came
l. to n closo wi h the season of 1920
[ Burkett came to the Giants in 1890
as a pitcher but was converted into
an outfielder because he could not
control his I, f handed shoots. And
.as an.outfielder with New York
i Cleveland and St. Louis, Burkett
made history as on ? of the most abk
batsmen in the game.
' The batting records of McGraw,
Jennings and Burkett combined, rep
resent 27 years of hitting over the
300 mark in the big show. Burket
fitted better than .300 for 11 years,
McGraw for nine and Jennings for
seven. Burkett was the mightiest of
the trio and in 1895 he batted .423
—a mark second only to Hughey
Duffey’s .438 of 1894.
McGraw’s top average was .390, in
1899, the year that Ed Delehanty fi
nally succeeded in his long effort to
go over the .400 mark with an aver
age of .408. Jennings did his best
work with the bat in 1896, when he
hit .397. Titans three, indeed!
Burkett went to Cleveland in 1892
land saw his club beaten for the Na
| ticnal League pennant by Boston. It
| was not until 1895 that Burkett was
i arrayed against both McGraw and
Jennings, in the Temple Cup Series
With Burkett playing a heroic role
with the bat. the Spiders took the
measure of the pennant winning Ori
oles that fall. Cleveland won foin
games and Baltimore only one. Ir.
189 G it was Baltimore against Cleve
land again for the Temple Cun and
once more it was McGraw and Jen
ninys against Burkett.
This time the Orioles cleaned nt
without losing a game. They took
four' straight, finT.hing 'lhe series
with a 5 to 0 shutout on the grounds
of the Sniders. Baltimore was in the
series again in 1R97 Hit Cleveland
had drowned back and Boston fou°ht
the Orioles for the old trophy, The
Orioles won thot final competition
for the Temple Cun.

" Get Those Tap-Rooted Stumps Out I
with the Cowan-Alford Boring Machine and
Red Cross Extra 40% Dynamite
TjJ'XPERIENCE in blasting tap-rooted stumps has
proved that the holes must be bored as nearly par
allel with the tap-root as possible. A power boring ma
e chine or power auger will do this work quickest and has
proved most economical when a great number of large
P stumps are to be blasted. •
When loading, tamp the charge firmly using moist
earth. The stump will then come out in easily handled
pieces for burning or the distillation “hogs.” Loose
’ tamping will spoil the “shot.”
Du Pont Red Cross Dynamite is the explosive generally
used because it can be depended upon to give uniformly
effective results at a low cost. Buy it from our local
dealer.
Every farmer should have a copy of our ‘‘Handbook of
Explosives.” It explains the best methods for using
dynamite to clear land, dig ditches and plant trees. Send
for a copy today. It’s free.
