A GREAT RECORD.
Hard to Duplicate it in iwheelin

Hard to Duplicate it in Wheeling.
Scores of representative citizens of
Wheeling are !tcstifyinG on the follow
ing subject. Such record of local en-
dorsement is unequaIed in modern
times. This public statement made by
a citizen Is but one OF the many that
have preceded 1t and the hundreds that
will follow. Read It:
Mrs. NJ. Deiters, of No. 26 South
Huron street. says: After an attack
Of Ia grippe had severe aching across
the small OF my back and through my
right thigh, bearing down pain In the
bladder; numbness and aching of the
ankles: often worse when lying down:
and often when in bed was so stiff I
could hardly. turn over. or get out of It.
I saw so many favorable accounts OF
Doan's Kidney Pills that I got q box
Mt the Logan Drug Co. s., and began their
use. l felt relieved after few doses
and continued their use with splendid
results. My sister was visiting me at
the time and being troubled, as I was,
she took some on my recommendation,
and they helped her right away"

GOLF RULES.
Important Changes Prepared BY
the Association.


NEW YORK, Feb. 28.-The annual
meeting of the United States Golf as.
sociation, which is being held here to-
day, will be watched by golfers in all
parts of the country with the deepest
interest. The question of adopting the
new St. Andrews rules ia up for con-
sideration.
The new code contains many changes
in the prenent rules. One of the most
important of these is that relating to q
moving ball. Heretofore, player,
unable to check the downward swing
OF his club when the ball by chance
moved from a hanging tee, had a
stroke counted against him on the
ground that the ball moved while be-
ing addressed. The new code forbids
such penalty being imposed.
Another important alteration is that
dealing with the option of replacing
ball displaced by the opponent
through the green and on the putting
green. If the incident happens through
the green the player may drop q ball
without penalty near the place where
it originally lay, but in either case this
must be done before another stroke has
been played.
The new code also modifies the old
"lost ball, last hole" rule so that if
each player loses his ball the hole will
be considered hslved.
