CALDWELL WAS RIGHT The basis of treating sickness has not changed since Dr. Caldwell left Medical College in 1875, nor since he placed on the market the laxative prescription he had used in his practice. He treated constipation, biliousness, headaches, mental depression, indigestion, sour stomach and other indispositions entirely by means of simple vegetable laxatives, herbs and roots. These are still the basis of Dr. Caldwells Syrup Pepsin, a combination of senna and other mild herbs, with pepsin. The simpler the remedy for constipa-tion- , the safer for the child and for you. And as yon can get results in a mild and safe way by using Dr. Caldwells Eyrup Pepsin, why take chances with strong drugs? A bottle will last several months, and all can use it. It is pleasant to the taste, gentle in action, and free from narcotics. Elderly people find it ideal. All drug stores have the generous bottles, or write Syrup Pepsin, Dept.

He was first signed by the Yankees ten years ago when he was pitching for his school team up in Winthrop, Maine, at the tender age of nineteen. And mind you, Bissonette was playing semlpro ball np In that country two years previous to this eventful period in his career. Later Del went to New Hampshire state college and then to In 1921, Georgetown university. just as he was about to realize on Ids pitching skill, he developed a sore arm and went back to the Maine woods. It diJ seem as though his big league career had vanished away even before Its realization. But the next year he played In Montreal as an outfielder on a semipro team. In 1922 he was signed by Cleveland and went South with the team, hut that pitching arm still gave him trouble, so back he wont to his Maine woods. He became manager of a ball team up there anJ played first base that season for the first time. Again he tried to Del Bissonette. pitch for Cleveland, and applied to Bonesetter Reese to mend that crip-SBissonette, the famous pitcher pled arm. But It was all In vain. from Maine, became Bissonette, first baseman for York of the Pennsylvania league. From there he went to Binghamton of the New York league, and there his hitting attracted the attention ot Larry Sutton, the Robin scout, and he was signed for Brooklyn. That was In 1925. He went South with the Robins the next year and farmed out to Jersey City. The next year he sowed base bits and reaped batting fame on the Buffalo farm. Bissonette himself sums up his baseball career In this cryptic and yet Illuminating sentence: I spent four years trying to cure a sore arm, and then I spent four more years learning to play first base, and I want to tell you that it takes just that long for a fellow to learn to play that bag. The veteran rookie, Bissonette, may combine fielding and hitting to that degree where he will press the best of them all for premier honors. Dan Brothers, Anson, Comiskey, Tenney, Jiggs Donohue, all left classics in first base play behind them, and Sisler and Kelly were stars of a later day. Great first basemen who cun hit are coming to J be ns rare as old fashioned girls, hence Eissonettes unusual value to his team, for he is a first baseman of much promise. o t 4! t T Loss of Power and vital follow force loss of flesh, or emaciation.

Although differing as to other details, four of the five whose views are published in the current issue of the New York A. organ, The Winged Foot," agree that the responsibility of picking the American team must he given to a small committee with arbitrary authority rather than to have the make-u- p of the team hinge entirely on the outcome of a tryout meet. This suggestion Is made In one form or another by Harry HMlninn, Dartmouth; Edward L. Farrell, Harvard; Keene Fitzpatrick, Princeton, and Jack Ryder, Boston college. Harry Gill, University of Illinois, confined his recommendation to one that the final tryouts he extended from two days to three or even four. Voicing the apparently general feeling that the American runners left their best performances behind them when they went to Amsterdam, Hillman declared that In Olympic year the colleges and club athletes should decrease the number of meets leading up to the big classic." Fitzpatrick expressed the view that the normal college and club meets constitute "competition enough and we should be able to make our selection from the results. Farrell advocated having a pre Olympic tryout one year preceding the final tryouts to select 50 per cent of the final team. A proposal similai to that was advanced some time ago by Jackrn Scholz, Olympic athlete Scholz plan, which opened the discussion now taken up by the coaches, was that the selection be started the fall before the Olympic year. Ryders chief suggestion was that the outstanding runners and hurdlers be picked In early June and sent abroad for a months training near the scene of the games. men have Once the been selected, he said, you may have your tryouts for the others to make the quotas in the various events." first-strin- golf. 7 mi Present Plan Does Not Please Five Big Coaches.
