Poison, tho symptoms are soon manifested. The mouth and throat ulcerate, copper-colored spots appear, a red rash breaks out, tho hair begins to como oilti and usually sores and ulcers show themselves on different parts of the body. At the first sign of tho disease S. S. S. should bo taken, for tho trouble Is too powerful and dangerous to trifle with. If allowed to run on tho tendency is to work down and attack the bones and nerves, and somo times it makes a complete physical wreck of the sufferer, ilio disease can make no such headway if S. S. S. is commenced and used according to direc? tions; its progress can be stopped, tho poison removed, and health preserved. S. S. S. goes into tho blood and removes tho insidious virus, cleanses tho circulation and makes a complete and permanent cure by driving out the cause. B. S. S. quickly takes effect on the blood, and grad lially tho symptoms disappear, the health is improved, tho skin cleared of till spot:?, sores und blemislfes, and when S. S. S. has thoroughly purified tho i_iretilation no trace of the disease is left. S. S.

In fotir parks In as! many cities the race will start Unlike the big leagues, there Is little upon which one may base a prophesy as to the outcome. Hope Is the ruling cle? ment. Each of the eight clubs is made up for the greater part of youngsters? players who have yet their spurs to win. Under normal conditions this Is pood. In addition to the natural In? terest aroused. It lends r.n air of un? certainty p. e to the strength of the I teams. The fan may guei?, the scribe may vent his opinions, but neither the fan's I guc?ses nor the unsupported opinions of the writer*?opinions, by th?- ws based on tho observation of but one club?can bo taken at more than the'.r face, value. The raoe la the thing, and not until many games h?>.-e been play? ed will there be anything upon Which to base a positive estimate of the re? lative strength of the learns. Ai 4:3b o'clock. Ihe umpire selected will start the tjame. in the park will be thousands of Joyous fans, willing to commend, but nearly as eager to condemn should the Colt3 fail to gallop as frlskly or as fast as their support era would wish. Through the dreary days of training, when vore arms and tired legs had to be overcome by mote practice, with never a let-up. the youngsters have had but one thing pointed out to them?'"The season opens Thursday, April Id, and you must be right." Steve Griffin Is hoping tor the best Ho Js not boasting that his club Is at Its best?yet. ^Richmond's fighting strength will lay largoly in its offensive prowess.

If Cnmbrun measures up to some of his past performances, he should prove valuable. But none of this dissecting Is worth while.

A parade will* precede tne itatue The players from Petersburg and from Richmond will gather In fron; of the City Hall at 3 oclicx this aft? moon. Headed by a band, they will parade the streets to let all know the glad tidings. The line of inarch will be from the City Hall, up Broad to Ninth, to Gary, to Seven? teenth, to Main, to Kighth, to tho park. It Is planned to have some young woman at the park loss the first ball. It will bo noticed that tirlffln has changed his batting order. He will stand at the top, with Graft as the second man. The only switch Is be? tween GralT and Burke, the latter dropping back Into elxth place In tne batting order. As foretold In Tho Times-.DLspateh. Thackera and |S'er hout will do the battery honors.

There iTTe many reasons for this, none more po? tent than the coming opening of the tidied States League season. The fans are anxious to see both clubs In action. There will then be a standard of comparlsou. But the game is on and everybody will be at the parR. The Colts will be dressed In bright new uniforms and so will tho Gooo ers.
