Here is Mrs. Bowman's own statement: "I was so weak I could hardly do my housework. I am 30 years old. I am the mother of 9 children. I was so nervous I hard-ly wanted the children to speak. I had to rest after I got breakfast and before I cleaned my house. I have taken almost 4 bottles of HADACOL, and I feel fine. The children can make all the noise they wish, and it doesn't bother me. In fact, I join them in their ball games and other games. We are a happy famil", thanks to HADACOL."

Bones have been found in caves on both the Atlantic and Pacific coasts that date back to the Pleistocene period, some 25,000 years ago. Old campfires reveal that the grouse was an Indian delicacy. And even far back of that, King Henry VIII in 1531 put out a royal order concerning the "grows" and the grouse tail was once popular in France as a fan. In fact, the word grouse, itself, comes from the French and means "spotted bird." While the bird is most plentiful in East Tennessee, it is now moving westward. Quite a few birds were noted last year in several different areas of the Cumberland mountains. The species once blanketed Tennes-see and Audubon in 1831 reported birds almost as far south as Natches, Miss. Like its smaller cousin, the bob-whi- te quail, the grouse wasn't overly-plentif- before the coming of the white man. The "brown bombshell" scorns dense under-growt-and thrives only in areas near open clearings. The white marl, of course, broke up the into ideal grouse cover and the bird became plentiful. The grouse prefers second-growt- h timberland areas that include some conifers, used for protection against the elements. Oddly enough, the bird was once barred from mar-kets in Philadelphia because, among its items of diet, was the poisonous laurel. Too, it can eat poison ivy berries without suffer-ing any ill effects. AAA It's A Tonic The question that never fails to be shocking is, "Why go fishing, when I can buy my fish at the market?" To fishermen this question may seem foolish; how-ever, the psychology underlying the urge to go fishing makes this indeed an important question. We moderns, here in America anyway, are reasonably sure there will be a next meal that there will be meat on the table. Yet fishing is more important now than it was in pioneer days. The urgency still has to do with the bodily well-bein-but the organ affected is no longer the stomach; it's the mind. Doctors tell us that mental dis-turbances, heart ailments and gas-tric disorders are on the increase. Our bodies seem for the modern tempo of living. And with the current world unrest and our entry into the atomic age we cannot expect that life will be more simple or more secure in the near future. Relaxation is extremely im-portant today it may become more significant as time goes on. The man . . . waiting for that crappie to bite has for the time forgotten his business worries. He is not like the man who follows the small white ball around swing-ing frantically at it with a special bent steel rod. He does not pull out a card and write down the number of casts it took to snag the bass he has just landed, then cuss . . . AAA Return Those Cards! After the past season, many duck hunters received franked return postcards from the regional offices of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Serv-ice. This marks a new experiment to obtain more accurate informa-tion on the waterfowl harvest in which the individual sportsman holds the key, according to the Wildlife Management Institute. The card simply asks for the num-ber of days the hunter was afield, the number of ducks, geese, and coots bagged, and the state in which hunting was done. Far better returns are expected from this method than from the report cards published in the magazines and newspapers in past years. Each of the present card recipients has been contacted in the field by a federal game man-agement agent, and the new pro-cedure requires even less effort. It is, however, a simple and human matter to delay filling out a report of this kind and then to forget it completely. Simple though the in-formation may seem, the data compiled from the returns is ex-tremely important to those entrust-ed with the management of the waterfowl. If you received a card, take the few seconds needed to fill in the blanks and mail it. You will help yourself to better hunting if you do. AAA Keeping Records Keeping records of your fishing trips something few fishermen do will provide much valuable in-formation for the future. Any sort of notebook will serve the purpose, and it would be better if it is small enough to go in your tackle box. With it there, you'll probably take the time to note important data which you might not do after getting home and storing your gear away. It is well to record weather, direc-tion of the wind. SPORTL1GHT , I Who Can Equal the Older Stars? I By GRANTLAND RICE TIME MARCHES ALONG to a of knocks and raps. The loud noises and the squawks usually come from a group of gray-haire- d veterans panning the present generation. It may be a groun of Today you have 30 or 40 men on each side throwing from 30 to 40 passes. So again how can you com-pare old time football stars with the modern bunch, who either never make a tackle or else never run with the ball? It might be well for all con-cerned to remember this in the words of Bernard Gimbel "In every sport that can be measur-ed or timed records are im-proving year by year. The game Is getting better and better." Every sport should be well ad-vanced today over bygone yester-days. There are many more play-ers. These players are getting' bet-ter bulk training and smarter coaching in general. There is no Cobb or Ruth around today and we'll likely never have i' " i 3 old-tim- e ballplayers attacking the me-diocrity of the presen-t- day crop. It may come from a bunch of e golfers or old-tim-e fighters giving the world proof that those hanging arnnnrl tnrla-- are Grantland Rice largely bums. The same is true of football where the platoon system has been composed nf according to the veterans of older wars. Those who can run or pass can't block or tackle and those who can tackle can't run or pass. Only recently Ty Cobb and Rogers Hornsby, baseball's two greatest hitters Cobb, the greatest Hornsby, the game's greatest righthand hitter de-cided there were no modern players who belonged among the first 20 of other years. I don't believe this will quite stand up. I'd say an outfield composed of Musial, DiMaggio and Williams would have been awarded many sprigs of laurel or olive over 20 or 30 or 40 years ago. This trio would have been a great outfield back in the peak years of Cobb and Ruth. One main trouble which arises in all comparisons is the change that has come to all games. For example, baseball has changed in many ways since the days of Cobb, Ruth and Hornsby. Or in the big days of Honus Wagner. Those were the days of the dead or much deader ball the days of the steal not the days of the home run. Speed and quickness ruled over sheer power. Nine home runs would lead a league in one season. But it would take 70 or 80 or 90 stolen bases to lead a league. Baseball from 1900 to 1920 was an entirely different game from baseball in 1920 on to 1950. A big part of the game's old science had given way to the home-ru- n hitters. another pair like this. But there have been some pretty fair ball-players Musial, Williams, DiMag-gio, Rizzuto, Slaughter, Reese, Rob-inson, Terry Moore, Johnny Mize, Marty Marion, Yogi Berra, etc. Bill Dickey ranks Berra up with the best catchers he ever saw, and Arkansas Bill knows about all there is to know about catching. When it comes to comparisons, old and modern play are entirely too far apart to start any definite ranking. The Case of the Cubs Just across some 18 or 20 miles of water beyond Los Angeles there is a very beautiful island. Its name is Catalina the training spot for owner Wrigley's Chicago Cubs. On this island with its hills and ravines you can go wild goat hunt-ing, quail shooting or play golf. Or you can watch Frank Frisch and his Cubs getting ready to keep out of last place, if possible. It is generally understood that Branch Rickey has no idea of per-mitting the Pirates to linger much longer around the cramped con-fines of the cellar. Smart baseball men are betting he will have his Pirates in the first division in two years. But the Cubs, in spite of Frank Frisch's driving ability, don't seem to be going anywhere in the general direction of any higher plateau. But the Cubs have the most com-fortable and best-ke- park in either Same Everywhere Football is also an entirely differ-ent game from what it used to be. The first big change came in with the forward pass in 1906. The pass began to dominate the attack around 1915. Now it is a big part of football. The two platoon system changed football completely. The game of 1900 even the game of 1920 had passed out. Football is no longer a team game. It is prac-tically one college meeting another college. big league and so big crowds wan-der out to the West Side. Frank Frisch is a first class manager and a terrific worker but for some odd reason it takes good ballplayers to win ball games, of which the Cubs have only a few. Last season the Cubs broke briskly from the barrier and acted for a few rounds like a first division outfit. But not for long. Mr. Frisch was a worn and weary leader when he returned to his flower beds in New Rochelle at the season's end. I WjBk 1 j V I' 2 SCREEN -- DOOR.
