Vh Youngest Player in Organized
Bam Ball When Given Try-out
mth PhlladelphU.
. John King, Alliance young man
who for several years has been play
log professional base ball and wKh
ome of the strong clubs, has signed
contracts with the management of
the Chicago White Sox of the Am
erican league and left Tuesday night
to take up his work with that team.
Johnny, as he is familiarly known,
started bis baseball career while at
tending Denver university and it was
while he was pitching for the school
team that a scout for Connie Mack's
Philadelphia National was attracted
by the young man's ability and he
was given an opportunity to break
Into the "big time" despite the fact
that he was but seventeen years of
age. . He went to Philadelphia, but
as was to be expected, ' his tender
age and lack of experience caused
bis release to the Harrlsburg, Penn
sylvania team, which in turn farmed
him to the Denver western league
club. Denver sold John to the De
troit Nationals, where because of a
bad arm it was necessary for him to
forego the game and he visited
Boiiesetter Reece at Youngstown, O.
The famous practitioner gave much
relief to the -young man's arm and
John again entered the game as a
member of the Denver club the fol
lowing year, during which time he
had the honor of pitching against
"Red" Faber at Des MolneB, Iowa,
in an elghteen-lnnlng tie game
which ended with each team having
two scores to its cred'.t. Kaber is
now a member of the pitching staff
of the club which John goes to Join.
In 1915 the Brooklyn Nationals
drafted Johnny, but it was during
the rolx-t'p with the Fedsril leasuc
and after refusing several ; Tery
tempting offers from -the - Kansas
City team of ihe third league be re
turned to Denver, where he played
the season of 1916. In December
of the following year he entered the
services of his country and while in
the training camps, during the base
ball seasons, kept his splendid form
by doing his-turn on tke mound for
the teams of the camp. Early in
this year and before he waa dis
charged from the array Johnny re
ceived several good offers from such
cities as Portland, Salt Lake and
Kansas City and was sought-by the
white box of Chicago, which offer he
, has now accepted.
In going to his new place, John
King does so with much in his favor.
He has had the experience necessary
to enable a player to make the prop
er showing in fast company and he
has the goods to deliver. 1 Coming as
it does at this time of the season he
has a very good chance to participate
in the world's Beries and so thereby
make for himself a record that will
put him among the top-notchers
early in his career. He is still young
enough, being now but twenty-four,
to afford ample time to reap th
financial benefits certain to come to
a pitcher who can win and he enters
the game with that determination; to
make good tnat is sure to succeed
Alliance will hear of his success with
No one would think of building a
house in a city without sewage dis
posal, running water and electric
light. These modern conveniences
are no more necessary in the city
than In the country, but custom
makes city people reel they can't do
without them. Nothing adds more
to the comfort of the farm home
tban a good water system. Next to
water in convenience comes elec
tric light, and then a heating system.
Plans and suggestions for modern
farm home conveniences may be ob

TROUBLE IS LEFT
Kirs. Hatlem Was All Rundown for
Many Year Tanlac Brought
Belief.
"Tanlac has done me so much
good that I am feeling more like my
self than for a long, long time," said
Mrs. Andrew Hatlem, of 3845 22
avenue. South, Minneapolis,, Minn.,
to a Tanlac representative, the other
day. -, v ! , .
"My trouble was a generally run
down condition," continued Mrs.
Hatlem, "and I had been suffering
for a good many years. I had a very
poor appetite and I never felt like
eating any more than Just enough to
keep me alive and it Just looked like
the little I did eat soured and form
ed gas and - this gas pressed so
against my heart that I sometimes
had 'difficulty in breathing. I was
troubled with terrible headaches,
too, and at times they were so bad
that it Just felt like my head would
split and I had aches and pains all
over my body and was so weak and
in so much misery sometimes that I
Just dragged around the house at my
work. I also suffered a great deal
from constipation and dixiy spells
and felt so tired and restless at night
that I would simply lie awake for
hours at a time not able to sleep a
wink and my nerves were in a bad
condition, too. I took a lot of medi
cine and treatments for my trouble,
but nothing I did or took seemed to
help me one bit until I began taking
Tanlac.
"I had read about Tanlac- and how
it was helping others - so I decided to
try it myself and I am certainly glad
I did, because H began to help me al
most from the beginning. My appe
tite got better and I commenced to ,
pick up strength and toy whole sys-i
tern seemed to be benefited and I
kept on Improving right along until
now I have a fine appetite and can
eat Just anything I want and I never
have a particle of trouble with gas
any more. All I have of those mis
erable headaches Is Just the memory
of them and those ditxy spells have
left me entirely and I can sleep Just
like a little child the whole ntght
through and am feeling so good
every way now that I can do all my
own housework and never feel any
more tired than a person naturally
would under the same circumstances.
Tanlac certainly has helped me a lot
nad I km glad to recommend it to
others for that reason."

A company of militia had been out

pride, "my men shdt very well today,
very well, but they ' would have shot
