Babe Ruth Contends
Hitting Will Decide
Babe Ruth is inclined to be-
lieve that all the talk about a
revival of baserunning is the
bunk.
“The pennant In the two major
leagues this year Is going to be
won by the club that can make
base hits In the old pinch rather
than stealing second more often
than the opposition.
“Speed Is a desirable asset In
a ball player, but not so much
merely to steal bases as to take
advantage of the opportunities
that are offered In the field as
well as on the bases.
"With the lively ball still In
use, few ball games are going
to be decided by a one-run mar-
gin. Stealing second base Is a
one-run system.
“The pitching In both major
leagues must get much tighter
before base running becomes a
big factor in deciding ball
games.”

wiry and unruly until I started

ING, which made it long,
straight and easy to arrange
as it ia now.”

Beautiful Girl
Reveals Secret
Once my hair was anything but
long and silky soft aa it is now,
and my complexion was sallow,
and there were often unsightly
pimples on my face.
One day I heard of Exelento
Quinine Pomade for the hair and
purchased a jar. Almost imme-
diately it stopped all dandruff,
made my hair grow long, soft and
fine, and gave it a delightful
sheen.
« Because of the perfectly won-
derful results I obtained from Ex-
elento Quinine Pomade. I purchas-
ed a jar of Exelento Skin Beauti-
fier. It changed my sallow com-
plexion to a clear, lovely skin,
glowing with health. For pim-
ples and other skin blemishes, it
has no equal.
If I am as beautiful as people
say, it is all due to Exelento prep-
arations. Exelento Quinine Po-
made and Exelento Skin Beauti-
fier may be obtained for only 25?
at most drug stores, or will be
sent postpaid upon receipt of
price by the
EXELENTO MEDICINE CO., Atlanta, 6a.
