day. The team has thus far made a sat-

making accurate work and fast play al
most out of the question.
Yesterday big squad was out but the
work given was rather light and a good
deal or attention was devoted TO team
play, the first team coming I'm for the
close supervision OF the coaches. Cobb was
not out. but he was the only man who
took part In the Wesleyan game who
was not on the field. and Tin. .Sheehan was
back for the first time since the Vermont
game.
The men were in good form after Sat-
urday's game and they put a good deal
of life and vim into their work In re-
viewing the results Saturday the coaches
are of the opinion the team did we'll for
In the brief halves Brown practically
earned three touchdowns. Golfer was out
for the first time. Savage was out but

was in poor form because Of his injured

lieyed the team ought to improve a great

terday two elevens were formed and sig
nal practice given. Then Webb was sent
in as left tackle, Shaw moved up TO
guard and Roberts took Cobbs place In
the line. Back OF the line were Scudder at
quarter. with Chase, Baker and Greene.
and later Hamilton, Barry and Graham
replaced the backs. Webb Is considered
too valuable a man TO play at guard be-
cause OF his ability for tackle play. and
II is probable he will be kept at tackle.
The afternoon was given over to per-
fecting interference. improving the line
attacks and working up new plays. The
men worked well but there was a dispo-
sition to start slowly which ought to be
overcome.

Alexandria, Ind, Oct. TT can bring
back the dead to life I did bring back
to life boy who was pronounced dead
by doctors. and who In reality was
dead. l have numberless times restored
consciousness to dogs and cats after they
had been dead two hours and after rigor
mortis had set in"
These are statements made by DIR. c.
w. Littlefeld when questioned concerning
the story OF one OF his achievements re-
Gently published. The doctor without
reservation claims TO have discovered the
secret OF life--the vital principle and its
source. After unflagging Investigations
extending over Is years. which have won
for him an enviable reputation as a
chemical expert. DR.. Littlefeld makes
these declara tions:
i. Life is not dependent upon organic
function as principle.
2. 1t may be infused into organized
bodies even after the organs have ceased
to perform their legitimate offices.
3. Where death has been due to causes
which have not injured or destroyed tissue
formation or torn down the structure OF
the vital organs, life nay be recalled
when IL has become entirely extinct.
The physician asserts that the secret
OF life is volatile magnetism This is
term the experimenter does not define,
but II exists. he declares. in the atmo-
sphere. II Is drawn into the body
through the lungs and absorbed and is
held in bounds until chemical combi-
nation has occurred through the medium
OF mineral agents always present In nor
NAL animal tissue.
When a person is dead, OF course. respi-
ration ceases and the volatile magnetism
cannot be drawn into the lungs. How
then can IL be supplied?
Herein lies the achievement of Dr.
Littlefield. He has discovered a COM
pound which he declares is an exact re-
production OF conditions existent in the
human body.
This compound has common salt as its
basic chemical. The salt Is saturated with
oleo resin and is allowed 10 stand exposed
for several hours in an atmosphere OF
free ammonia. The product Is then re-
duced TO a powder. 1t is this powder
that, so the doctor CLAIMS. brings back
the dead to life.
To prove his theory. the investigator
has operated extensively on dogs. cats.
flies and bees, and invariably. he says, he
has been successful.
