Mount Shasta City, leaders of the Northern California league, did the trick to the tune of 3 to 1. The Craters blamed Rex Cecil, fireball hurler for Shasta, for their embarrassment, Cecil fanning 13 Medford batsmen and holding them to six scattered bloopers. Medford’s lone tally came in the third frame when, with two away, I Calvert singled and Al Wray drove a triple down the right field line. Score by innings: RHE Mt Shasta .

That’s the insidious thing about this offensive condition, so fre­ quently due to food fermentation in the mouth. You yourself may not recognize it . . . but everyone you come in contact with does. Listerine Antiseptic halts such fer­ mentation, said by some authorities to be a major cause of mouth odors, and overcomes the odors themselves. So why risk annoying and offending others? Why hurt yourself socially and in business? It is so easy to guard against offend­ ing by gargling with Listerine, the safe antiseptic. Your breath becomes sweeter and more agreeable. If you value your job and your friends, use Listerine Antiseptic regularly. Lambert Pharmacal Company, St. Louis, Mo.
