Recent events showed that camp is
more dangerous than a battle. Not
only in the army, but in ordinary life,
more lives are lost by Needless dis
regard of the beginnings of poor health
than by all other causes combined.
Dyspepsia or nervousness is absolute
ly inexcusable now. There is no more
reason for man or woman eating with
poor appetite Pr sleeping poorly or suf-
fering continually from neuralgia or
rheumatism today than there is of his
or her going without the necessities Of
life. \
Every candid person who has dragged
along, under the depressing effects %
nerve and brain exhaustion, needs to
take to heart the words of such unbiased
persons as Senator Tabor, who cannot
afford to attach their guarantee to
anything they have not themselves in
vestigated.

HARVARD is READY.
The Crimson Players in Perfect Condition 10
Meet Yale, Today.

Meriden, Conn, Nov. 1S-By 10
O'Clock, tonight. the Harvard foot ball
players were bundled off to bed to
dreams of tomorrow's great contest
and victory. They are all fit and ready,
in the pink of condition and eager for
the fray. They are not boastful or
ovefconfident. but still they all expect
to win. They realize that it will take
all the strength and skill they can
summon to defeat Yale in her own
bailwick.
Charlie Daily, the little quarterback
said, tonight: Wen win, because
we've got to win," and that expressed
the sentiment of the whole eleven from
Captain Dibblee down. Head Coach
Forbes said: 1T will take the hardest
kind of foot ball to win, tomorrow"
but he, too, expects victory.
The Harvard players had a quiet
night and were up early, this morning,
all in the best of spirits. Led by Capt.
Dibblee and '.Dud" Bean, the entire
squad took a brisk walk. At o'clock
the men went to Hay(ord field for
light practice, which consisted simply
in punting, catching kicks and running
the signals. The practice
lasted short hour, finishing with both
first and second elevens rehearsing the
signals.
Coaches Forbes, Lewis. Brooks and
Moulton We're on hand and John Gran
ston, Bob" Wrenn and Bert Waters
arrived, in the evening. There will be
no changes in Harvard's linup from
that which played in the Pennsylvania
game, though Farley and Lawrence
are expected to replace Cochrane and
Warren, respectively, before the game
has far progressed. Harvard will
abandon all attempts to gain on end
plays if Yale's tackle proves too fast.
and confine her attack to the centre
plunging of Boal, Dibblee, Reid and
Warren. Warren will be used largely
at the start of the game for line buck
ing and will give way to Lawrence at
the first sign of exhaustion.
Coaches and players will leave here,
tomorrow morning at 1890 o'clock,
having special engine and car to
take them to New Haven. They will
lunch at the Tontine, soon after II,
and then be driven to Yale field in
busses.

PLEADS NOT GUILTY.
L. W. Mason Of Augusta. Charged With Wo-
lating the Postal Laws.

Waterville, Me-, Nov. 1S.-(SpeciaD. =
Before United States Commissioner
Choate, today, L. w. Mason of Angus
ia, pleaded not guilty of sending ques-
tionable matter through the mails, and
was bound over to the second Tuesdty
in December, when he win be taken be-
fore the United States court in Port
land. The arrest was made by Deputy
United States Marshal Burton E. Smith
at the instigation of Anthony Crom-
stock, agent for the New York Society
for the Prevention of Vice.
Over a years ago an advertisement
appeared in New Jersey paper read
ing in bold face type: Ladies, how
Are You?" The advertisement was ad-
dressed to married and single women
and went on in the usual form, winding
up 10y telling the reader to send 81 to
Mrs. Dr. Landers. Brunswick, Me-, for
the goods. In return was sent a box
containing a dozen or more SUPPOSE
tories. AS far as the advertisement
went it was of no different nature from
others appearing in some daily papers.
The advertisement was answered, a
the case finally placed in the hands of
Anthony Cromstock. He at once went
to work on the case and succeeded in
tracing the DIR. Landers' to Portland.
He was then taken sick and was
obliged to give up the case. AS soon as
he recovered he again began work on
the case and this time succeeded in To-
eating Mrs. DR.. Landers' in Portland.
He continued his chase and found
that Mrs. DR.. Landers'' was L. W.
Mason of Augusta, and that some one
else was connected with the business.
He found also that the men did BUSH
ness from Portland, Augusta and
Brunswick.
He then enlisted the services of Dep
uty United States Marshal Smith, and
last night, succeeded in locating Mr..
Mason while he was driving toward
Vassalboro. The man was placed I'M
der arrest and was taken to Augusta
and then to this city, where he was
brought before United States Commits
sioner Choate, where he was given a
hearing.
Before Commissioner Choate the sup
positories We're produced and the story
of the affair told. To the charge pre-
ferred against him, Mr.. Mason pleaded
not guilty, although he admitted the
principal facts of the case: that is, that
he had been doing the business and
that he had furnished the suppositories
to the people answering the advertise
ment.
The circulars advertising Mrs. DR..
Flanders Giant Germ Killers state
that they are for the prevention of con-
ception.
1t is understood that others are inn
plicated in the matter who will be later
attended to by Mr.. Cromstock.
The hearing was conducted in the
ElmWOod hotel in this city

THE DANCE OF THE GRIDLE
INDUCED in by Yale Eleven Before Their
Great Game With Harvard.

New Haven, Conn. Nov. 1S.-The ira
ditional Dance of the Girdle was per-
formed by the seniors of the Yale foot
ball squad, Immediately after the final
practice, this afternoon. Hitherto this
dance has been held in secret, for the
last two or three days have been reserved
for practice back of closed gates, and the
rite has followed the playing. But this
year Yale has had open work all the time
and consequently the public for the first
time witnessed the performance.
sid Coe who for wears has officiated
as attendant on the players, brought out
half dozen g,rdles and the seniors in a
tussle pulled them to pieces. They were
then laid in a pile and big bottle of oil
poured over the pile, when Capt. Cham
berlain set on fire. AS the blaze went UP
10 seniors on the squad joined hands and
dancing round and round sang the weird
''Kai-roo, Kai-roo. Omega, Lamda, Chi
repeating it over and over again.
When the flames had consumed the Cir
dies, the whole squad broke out with the
Yale frog chorus, shouting it until the
almost vacant stands re-echoed it.
The practice, this afternoon, was short
and consisted only of signal work by the
university and the college elevens and in
dividual work in catching and punting
the ball. Ely, Eddy and Dudley We're
sent down to the goal posts and Cotton
snapped the ball back to Mcbride, who
returned from New York, where he had
for day been treated by specialist for
the bothersome weak ankle.
Mcbride punted fairly well and the
three backs mentioned were sent down
the field to catch it and to run it back
The other two men were used to form
interference for the men carrying the
ball. The work was very satisfactory to
Brink Thorne, who did the catching.
One of the Yale coachers, who refused
to be quoted in any way, said, this even
ing. that the coachers were well pleased
with the improvement of the players this
week. Said he: "The Yale eleven is in
good physical condition, much better than
week ago, though they are not in per-
feet form. Still we are satisfied with it.
You may say that despite one defeat we
are sure that the men will put up even
better fight than thy did down at
Princeton. l feel confident that Yale has
an even chance of winning the game. in

According to latest mail summaries,
which are not refuted by later cables,
there is not country in Europe that
does not hold out the prospect of a
good wheat return, says San Francisco
Commercial News. In England farm
ers feel confident, and in France a very
large and early yield is looked for. All
the smaller producers make favorable
reports. and even Russia. regarding
which so many adverse reports and
surmises have been industriously and
persistently launched, comes to the fore
with prospect that is particularly dis
couraging to the extremists, who have
all along drawn and insisted upon the
least favorable conclusions. The Ar
gentine Is shipping freely, and there is
no prospect Of an early shrinkage in
exports. India has not been releasing
wheat on SO large a scale lately, but
there can be no question as to the ca
pacity of that country if crop reports
we're anywhere near the facts.
