TO CURE THE GRIP.
Advice of Famous Physician.


First and foremost, REST.
Take care Of yourself. Your al
ready weakened nerves want rest,
and must have it. If the attack is
severe, 60 to bed and remain there.
More fatalities result from this pre-
caution than from any other cause.
Eat sparingly. Your digestive or
CANS are in no condition to take care
of large quantities of food.
Drink plenty of pure cold water.
It allays the fever, stimulates the kid.
neys to action and opens up the pores
of the skin. Keep the bowels open
with DR.. Miles Nerve and Liver Pills.
Take three doses of DR.. Miles
Nervine per day, and if you cannot
sleep take an extra dose at bed time.
To further control the fever, and te
overcome the peculiar aches and pains
of grip, use DR.. Miles Pain Pills
They act quickly and effectually, and
no bad effects result from their use

reaches an age when it should be able to
control the passage, it is yet afflicted with
bed-wetting, depend upon it. the cause Of
the difficulty is kidney trouble, and the first
step should be towards the treatment Of
these important organs. This unpleasant
trouble is due to a diseased condition of the
kidneys and bladder and not to habit as
most people suppose.

Beauty

The most beautiful thing in
the world is the baby, all
dirnples and JOY. The most
pitiful thing is that same baby
thin and in pain. And tic
mother does not know that a
little fat makes all the differ
ence.
Dimples and JOY have gone,
and left hollows and fear; the
fat, that was comfort and
color and curve--all but pity
and love--is gone.
The little one gets no fat
from her food. There is some
thing wrong;itis either her food
or food-mill. She has had no
fat for weeks; is living on what
she had stored in that plump
little body of hers; and that is
gone. She is starving for fat;
it is death, be quick

NEW HAVEN, Conn, Nov. 14.-Yale
has dropped the. best player off its varsity
football squad and will go into the games
with Princeton and Harvard without Ed
ward T. Glass, He has been declared in
eligible for the eleven this season. If
he continues to play it will be on the sec
ond team simply to give the varsity prac-
t1ce. The first time the Yale football
managers expressed an opinion in the
matter was when they gave out the fol-
lowing statement:
Yale has decided to withdraw Glass
owing to an objection made by Harvard
Yale feels that, although the spirit of the
rule was not to bar men coming from
preparatory schools, even if they had
previously attended another college, the
letter of the rule was such that she would
not feel justified in playing Glass when
Harvard insisted upon the letter. More
over. Glass will not play against Prince
tom
The decision of the athletic leaders is a
severe blow to Yales prospects. Capt.
Gould, who has all season relied on Glass
to play in the big games, is agnast at
the task of hunting up new guard in
the three days remaining before the
Princeton game The decision of the Yale
athletic committee was made upon the
return from Boston of Yale's athletic ad-
wiser, Walter Camp.

PLEADS FOR GLEMENCY
SISTER OF ANDREW TAPER CALLS
ON VAN SAINT.

Gov Van SAINT was called upon yester-
day by Mrs Anna l.. Benson, of 914 West
ern avenue, Minneapolis. the only sister
of Andrew Taper, now under sentence
of death for the murder of Rosa Mixa at
Chaska. Mrs. Benson urgently pleaded
with the governor for communication of
her brothers sentence to life imprison-
ment. Although apparently recognizing
the seriousness of the crime Of which her
brother had been convicted, Mrs Benson
argued that the young man was mentally
a wreck at the time, and was really not
responsible for his deed. Gov. Van SAINT
informed her that he personally was
pewerless to alter the sentence, but that
an application for elemency could be
made before the board of pardons at its
next meeting. The board will meet on
the first Tuesday in January, and the
date for Tapper's execution cannot be
fixed before Jan. e, as the law requires
that ninety days shall be permitted to in
tervene between the sentence and the fix
ing of the time for the execution of
prisoner condemned to death.

group of clergymen have been striv-
ing all day to induce the officers of the
law to stop the mill. but they have re-
ceived no encouragement. Tonight they
paid their respects to Mayor James D.
Phelan and there received the same infor-
nation which was impaired to them by
the district attorney and Chief of Detect
ives Seymour. In other words, they have
been apprised of the fact that, while a
state law prohibits prize lighting, local
ordinance countenances boxing exhibit
lions held under the auspices of an in
corporated club, and that the latter meas
ure precludes all possibility of the city
fathers stopping the fight at this juno
ture. The police if they believe the mill
to be brutal and therefore beyond the
pale of a legitimate exhibition with
gloves, may enter the ring and stop the
bout after it starts, but not before.
Rubin spent the day in rest and quiet
He was in consultation with Billy Mad
den several times during the day,-receiv-
ing advice from his manager. The Akron
fighter ate a hearty breakfast, took a

morning and played cards part of the aft

The training ordeal is at an end, and the
trainers of both fighters are anxious now
simply to keep their men from getting
a trifle stale, or possibly mentally de-
pressed. Jeffries is full of life, and smil-
1ngly declares he will beat Rubin along
about the tenth or twelfth round
Few bets have been made today, and
In all known instances Jeffries was on
the long end, and at even better odds
than yesterday.
Harry Corbett who will referee the
fight says he is in condition to part the
big fellows if they resist him, or fail TO
follow his commands.
The picture company placed its lights

TO SCALP BADGERS
HUSKY GePHERs START FOR THE
SCENE OF BATTLE AT
MADISON
THE TEAM IS IN GOOD SHAPE
Players Will Hold Several Secret
Practices in Outskirts of City
Guesses at the Proba-
BILE LINEUP.

About 500 enthusiastic rooterS gathered
at the union depot last evening to give.
the players parting salute as they start
ed on their trip to Madison. The team
came in from Lake Minnetonka In the
afternoon and Immediately prepared TOT
their journey. They were all IN the best
of spirits, and waved their adieus to the
crowd as the train pulled out of the sta
ton.
Those who went last night were as fol-
lows: Knowlton, Page, Flynn, Fee, Do
bic, Schacht, Rogers, Hoyt, La Fans,
Thorpe, Aune, Mueller Tiff, Grant, Hoyt,
Bidlake, Harris, Irsfeld, Tigue, Freeman,
Kicker, Strathern Evans, Boeckman and
Allen
1t is impossible to say just what the
lineup will be, as that has not been defi-5
nitely settled on. The team will arrive.
at Madison this morning at s o'clock.
They will not go directly to the city, but
will stop outside of the city, where they
lay over until Saturday and hold secret
practice preparatory to the big game.
The guesses on what the lineup will
be is as follows: Rogers left end; Fee,
left tackle; Flynn, left guard Page, CEN
ter; Mueller, right guard; Schacht, right
tackle; Aune, right end; Dobie, quarter;
La Fans, right half; Thorpe, left half
Knowlton, full back.
Tt may be on account of Wisconsin bar
ring Schneider from the game they will
expect that Minnesota will bar Mueller.
In the event of their doing so it is barely
possible that Strathern will be put in at
guard, or they may move Schacht over
to the guard position and play Aune at
tackle, a position he filled most credifa-
bly, in the Haskell game. and put Hoyt
at right end. These changes are all con-
ditioned on Mueller's not playing. but
the chances at the present time point to
his being in the game
The men on the team are all In the
pink of condition, and are prepared to
do or die in the defense of their goal;
II their are unfortunate, and cannot hold
the husky Badgers, no excuses will be
offered after the game as to why they
were defeated, except that Wisconsin was
too strong but the optimistic view enter
tanned by Minnesota admirers leads all
to think that no excuses will be necessa-
