YOU NEED NOT SUCCUMB TO THAT "ALL-RUN DOWN" FEELING

SIMPLY CLEANSE YOUR BLOOD OF ITS SLUGGISHNESS SO PREVALENT IN SPRINGTIME. Possibly you are one of the thousands who just at this season find that you are losing your appetite, your system gets weaker day by day, you are easily tired, and a general good-for-nothing, run-down feeling seems to pervade our whole body. This condition is very general at the beginning of Spring, and is nature's i appeal for "help in preparing; the sysI tcm for the change in seasons. Your i blood is ' sluggish and impoverished, j impurities begin to clog up the arter ies, and your system needs a general purifying and housecleaning to put it in sWj-sLpe for the coming summer.

WAR AND WEATHER KEEP BALL TEAMS IN WINTER QUARTERS

" War or the weather, or better still, war and the weather has put the blink on amateur and seaoi-pro baseball in Richmond and Waxne county. Semi-pro baseball and the everyday amateur stuff has been conspicuous this year only in Its utter absence. Last year this time there were some Ifteen or twenty Class E teams in Richmond and Wteyne county. Today there are two or three beating around the bush for bookings. To date there Jias been little if any semi-pro- baseball in Richmond. The Miller-Kemper outfit, Charles Feasel, manager, is about the only club of last season's swearm that has tried the field. Manager Feasel complains of lack of bookings there being no teams to hook up with. May Stir Up Activity The opening of the S. A. L. next Saturday might; stir up some activity in semi-pro ranks. Several of the teams of that circle have expressed intentions of playing Sunday baseball. The situation, in Richmond Is reflected throughout the county and In neighboring counties for that matter. To date none of the former Wayne county strong liolds have come to bat with announcements of team organizations. Williamsburg, Hagerstown, New Paris. Brookville, Cambridge City, Centervflle " and other nearby points will be- without baseball this summer, it now appears Jifcely. SP MARTS FALLS BEFORE EARLHAMITES Away to a flying start in the onesided defeat of the St. Mary's cinder performers on: the Reid Field track Saturday afternoon, Earlham's track and field squad today started preparatory work, for the Franklin affair, booked for Franklin Field next Saturday. The SL Mary's competition offered the Quakers little opporunity to display their real calibre. Earlham was not pressed in any department and this fact together with the cold and slowness of the track, went for a slow meet. The Quakers placed in every event. ' - ' ' " In Saturday's events, Mills, Calvert and Cutrell carried off the bulk of the Earlham honors. This trio ran true to the form predicted by Coach Whiteside. Earlham's remaining schedule follows: . May 12 Franklin at Franklin. May 19. Butler at Richmond. May 26. I. C. A. L. at Richmond. June 2. State meet at Lafayette.
