QUICKER, BETTER
RELIEF from use of
Black-Draught
"I have taken Black-Draught, off
and on when needed, for twenty
five years, for it is easy to take,”
writes Mr. George T. Wharton, of
Petersburg, Va. “I take it for con
stipation and when I have that,
dull, tired feeling. I take it for
colds and other complaints where
a good laxative is needed, and I
believe it gives me quicker and
better relief than any other medi
cine I know. It certainly has
been a help to me.”
P- S. — If you have Children, give

Professional Baseball Players Turn
to Spring Training Camps in South
Scenes similar to that above will soon be common in the spring baseball j
training camps in the South. Note that both players
are completely off the ground.
HUNDREDS of major and minor
league professional baseball
players are packing their bags and
trunks and taking trains for points in
the South for a period of spring
training. Florida, California and
Texas will see most of the teams in
action.
Despite the arguments of some fans,
there is little doubt but that spring
training baseball camps are necessary.
They not only give the players an
opportunity to get into perfect shape
for the long arduous season, but it
makes it possible for managers and
coaches to look q\tr new members of
the squads. The line-up of few teams
is" made up previous to the opening of
the spring training season.
E* aball is a game which calls for
physical fitness. Players must keep in
shape week after week to display their
>est cn the playing field. As a help
in keeping fit many ball players eat
fresh yeast daily to insure regularity
of personal habits.
Despite the constantly growing
popularity of golf and tennis and the
fact that so many boys are giving up
baseball because of lack of places to
play the game and also because of the
cost' of equipment, baseball is still
recogniz"d as America’s national
game.
It is probable that major league
owners will introduce a few field
events this year to stimulate interest
in the game. Fans are interested, for
example, to know what player can en
circle the bases in the shortest time.
What player can throw a baseball the
greatest distance, is another question
which may be settled this year. Babe
Ruth would probably win all fungo
hitting contests. It is doubtful whethei
there is a park large enough for Babe’s
fungo-hitting skill.

Clean Brooder
House Necessary
For Baby Chicks
A perfectly clean and sanitary
brooder house is needed for grow
ing out the baby chicks bought or
hatched for replacement of layers
in the poultry flock.
"Some of the leading poultry
growers of this State declare that
the preparation of the brooder
house is one of the most important
steps in the production of healthy
birds,” says C. F. Parrish, poultry
extension specialist at State Col
lege. "These men have found that
the house must be thoroughly
cleaned before beginning with the
new crop of chicks and if it is por
table, the house should be moved
to fresh ground. This means soil
that has not been used by poultry
for at least three years.”
