be glad to learn how a noted French au-

One night while the author was engaged
in writing an article his eyes gave out be-
fore he could finish aud he was compelled
to stop. So, turning from his unfinished
manuscript. his eyes fell upon some scraps
Of colored silk that his wife had been us

a peculiar attraction for his wearied OPP

at them for several minutes he found, them

might rest on them every time he dipped
his pen into the ink. This brings instant
relief.

Few People Know How Useful 81 Ia In
Preserving Health and Beauty.
Nearly everybody knows that charcoal is
the safest and most enncient disinfeotant
and purifier in nature, but few realize lite
value when taken into the human system
for the same cleansing purpose.
Charcoal is a remedy that the moro you
take OF 1t the better; it is not a drug at all
but. simply Rbsorbs the gases and impuFi-
ties always present in the stomach and in
~testines and carries them out OF the system.
Charcoal sweetens the breath after smok-
ing and drinking or after eating onions and
other odorous vegetables.
Charcoal efectuAlly clears and improves
the complexion, II whitens the teeth and
further acts as q natural and eminently
safe cathartic.

All druggists sell charcoal in one form or
another, but probably the best charcoal and
the most for the money is Stuart's Alb
sorbent Lozenges; they are composed Of the
finest powdered willow charcoal and other

Omaha daily bee., 1902-10-19

The first weeks bowling has been OF
rather a low grade. Not one single bit Of
remarkable work was done; there were but
a few scores Of more than usual merit
made and most OF the rolling was below
par. This weakness was for reasons easily
understood. In the first place the players
were largely on new teams and in some
cases we're entirely new men. Either con-
dition was sufficient to cause some nerv-
business and the "rattles" were evident in
many cases. Those who were rolling for
the first time with a new team were anxious
to make a good showing and so Overstepped
themselves in their zeal. Again, none OF
the players have had any team work al
all since HI close OF last season and were
naturally a little green at the tlaminated

Promise % Line IN Much
~ Last Year.

Every week seems TO indicate more aud
more plainly that Yale's team this year is
far superior to that OF Harvard, and that
the Blues in fact will have the premier
eleven OF the Big Four. The comparative
games Of the two against Amherst college
cannot but excite the dope makers, and
the discrepancy is certainly SUFFICIENT to
attract attention. Yale beat Amherst %
to 0 and the Blue goal was never once
threatened. Now comes Harvard. winning
from the same team by only 8 to 0, and at
that seizing victory by a much closer mar
gin even than the score shows.
One thing is certain, and that is that IL
Yale should really be the best team in the
Big -Four this season there will be every
opportunity to prove the fact beyond a
doubt. Yale has both Harvard and Prince
ton on its schedule, and so can earn its
way to an undisputed championship.
Neither Harvard nor Princeton can ever do
this same thing to the entire satisfaction
of the %rooters, for the two elevens have
not played together for some years past.
II Harvard defeats Yale, therefore. no mat
ter how decisively. It does not satisfy peo-
pie that Harvard is better than the Tigers,
even n The latter have also succumbed TO
Yale. Now Yale, by defeating both this

The Tigers meanwhile are improving much
more rapidly than Harvard, and IT would
not be surprising II they proved a much
better team this season. though there viii

Tigers seem to have developed a star

The regular varsity eleven. with the ex-
ception of Jones. who will not be out until
next Monday for practice. was in the
signal practice on Iowa field Thursday
evening for the first time this week.
Siberts and Ochiltree have been out on
account of slight bruises which, caused
Coach Knipe to prescribe watching the
| practice in civilian clothes for the first
part OF the week. Coach Knipe resolved
not to give the varsity any more hard
lineups with the reserves after Wednes-
day night, moved thereto by an injury to
Durkee which kept the new halfback out
of the practice for a day. Harder, lower
quicker work is what Coach Knipe has
been urging the team to this week and
oNch night has seen an improvement by
the eleven. While the varsity still has
enough defects to keep it working hard
until the day Of the Minnesota game and
it's defense is weak enough to keep down
any chesty feeling that may arise, at least
until after the Michigan game. November
3. there is no lack OF confidence at Iowa
that Minnesota will be defeated this year.
The Gophers were slow beyond Iowa's
expectations last year, when the week '01
team was defeated by them on Northrup
field. There is no reason to believe that
Minnesota is much faster this year than
she was last and II she is not she may

tendencies OF the men to be found at each
school are already In evidence. II Is said
that more than $4,000 in wages is already
laid by alumni and undergraduates Of the
institutions. and the hotbed Of the excite
ment is Chicago itself, where so many
graduates Of each school take up their res
idence after college days are past.
, Coach Yost is following his usual wide
open tactics with the Wolverines. He cares
nothing for any secrecy or dark horse work,
but from the very start makes his team
out Just as strong as possible, and always
has his men play their hardest game, no
matter how inferior the opponents. II may
be that this plan has its merits and that
the actuality OF enormous scores is even
more disconcerting to a future opponent
than the mystery surrounding the c%ontinu-
Gus drowning Of the merits OF an eleven.
Anyway. we still have il that the Michi-
gan team continues to score like mad in
every contest, and now Coach King OF the
Badgers has himself said that the Wolver-
ines are just now far beyond the Badgers
in development. Now, this may be so,
course we don't know. but IL sounds to us
ike" well. improbable. King is too
crafty n coach to let mis- team fall way be-
hind the season in improvement and then
go and tell about it at Ann Arbor, where
he watched the Wolverines play the other
day. Wisconsin's own scores, too, though
also against weak teams. do not indicate
any great degree Of %greenness in the team.
King and Madison were never much given
to boosting their own team before games,
but they are mighty strong on the after
time, and they always have every cent up,
