Recent discoveries have demonstrated that
all the organs of the body are under the con-
troll of the nerve centers, located in or near
the base of the brain, and that when these are
deranged the organs which they supply with
nerve fluid are also deranged. When 1T IS re-
membered that a serious injury to the spinal
cord will cause paralysis of the body below
prevented by the injury from reaching the
paralyzed portion, it will be understood now
the derangement of the nerve centers will
cause the arrangement of the various organs
which they supply with nerve force.
TwO-thrCs of chronic diseases are due TO
the imperfect action of the nerve centers at
the base of the brain, not from derange-
ment primarily originating in the organ it.

THE "ICELANDER" CHALLENGED.

Rye Goodwin, as president of the Leav

Patrick Purtell for match with Jack
LArney, the "Icelander," the well known

offers to place $500 on Purtell against
$3.50 on behalf of Larney. The contest
is to come off under the management of

winner is to take all the gate receipts.

BASEBALL AT x. S. U.

The Students Met and Played a Practice
Game This Week.
At the Kansas State University all of
the applicants for positions on the base
ball team were invited out to take part
in a practice game last Monday. A notice
was posted by Captain Mitchell assuring
the boys the rumor that the team is al
ready picked is entirely erroneous, and
urging all interested in the game to re-
port by practice. AS a result two full
mines we're on hand, besides a goodly
number of spectators. 1t is the general
verdict that the base ball team this year
will be stronger far than any previous
one, and also that the team will be given
better patronage than heretofore.
These are some of the men who were
on the field Monday: Catchers -Hassig,
Hester, Squires, snyder, Himrod, Creho;
pitchers, Gear, Wagner, Jno. Clark,
Fred Clark: first base, Mitchell, Stone;
second base. Alden, Andy Foster, Mason,
Walker, Schriner; third base, Turner,
