Let's pass a few orchids to Jake Hay ties. Jake pitched beautiful ball uid gave the slugging Sox but two serat<th blows, they coining in the llrst uid second innings. Twenty-three op [losing hatters faced Jakie in the sevmi I tames and thut my friends?is mine pitching. And to add lustre to lie performance, only one Sox, Jentins, reached the second suck during he game, and his attainment of that lonor, came through a misplay hv module, who fumbled Moseley's peg.

' f 1 This is a message to suffering men and women! It Is written with the desire to acquaint you with POW-O-IJN, the new scientific' -medicine you have read and heard ho much about. Wo don't want any man or woman, anywhere, to spend one penny for thin medicine if It doesn't bring relief. It is sold on a money-hack guarantee,. backed by the POW-O-LIN Laboratory and your local druggist. It 1h the fastest selling medicine in the Carolines, because it brings KKL1EF, often after ordinary liver medicines, vile pills, salts and other concoctions fail. What we say about POW-O-LIN may be from a selfish motive, for, of course, we want to sell it. Hut what your neighbors and friends say certainly should convince you that you owe it , to yourself and your family to try this great inedicine. One of the latest to come forward with a statement is Mr. Julian J. Price, Blshopville, S. C. Mr. Price says: "Despite the fact that I look healthy, hefty and hale, I suffered terribly from constipation, indigestion and gas and bloating. At night f, could hardly sleep at all for gas rising and pressing 011 my heart. Rjlious attacks and headaches worried me and I was In a rundown and wornout condition when 1 started to take POW-O-LIN. I found this medicine brought such prompt and L : MR. JULIAN J. PRICE thorough relief I have taken six bottles of it. V never expect* to be without it again, for It is the lineal, medicine I have eyer used. In fact, POW-O-LIN is the only medicine I have ever used that brought relief. 1 am 100 per cent, for it." POW-OLIN is guaranteed by POW-OLIN Laboratories, Danville, Va. Sold and recommended by (JAMI)EN CUT RATE DRUG STORE. Learn To Swim Week Scheduled For Parks The South Carolina Commission of Forestry has announced a "Learn to Swim Week" for each of its State Parks where bathhouses are In operation. At each park the trained life saving force on duty will give instructions to beginners and also to swimmers who wish to improve their swimming or to learn life saving methods. Each life guard holds either a senior or examiner's certificate from the American Red Cross and is well qualified to give detailed and individual instructions, particularly to those having no knowledge of swimming and most especially to children. Any normal person can readily learn to. swim 3tates Recreation Director C. McMillan. In addition it is one of the most healthful forms of exercise without putting undue strain on any particular muscle or set ol muscles. The pleasure and enjoy j inent derived from swimming is not the only benefit. The ability to swim enables one to take care of hlmaetf In the water and to assiBt others. The appalling loss of life because ol drowning in the United States amounts to 7,600 persons annually This unnecessarily largo total can to greatly reduced, particularly In South Carolina, by persons taking advant age of swimming instructions which is offered free in the State Parks and by bathers using places where competent^ and adequate life guard service is maintained. The Federal bureau of public roads has renewed its agreement to furnish half Jthe cost $1,600,000 to build a bridge across the St. John river at Jacksonville, Fla., the span to be bu/H under supervision of the Florida toad department.
