DEFEATED BUT NOT DISCOURAGED
81 am indeed surprised at the
defensive work done by my team.
The o. A. c. boys gave them
the hardest fight they, knew how,
but we were outplayed," said
Coach McFadden to a GAZETTE
reporter. .sAt the last moment
I was compelled to go on the
ground as referee, consequently
was powerless to give my men
any needed Instructions
"The. advantage the opposing
team had over US was that they
had more experienced men and
they outweighed us from four to
FIVE pounds to the man.
thereafter, we will have the
mighty Pilkington, and with the
rest of the seasons games the re-
suits will, be much different"
"The hardest man we found
on the Seattle team was McDon-
aid, their right tackle, who
played the star game on their
side. He weighs Ioo pounds,
and is a player TO be feared.''
"The Seattle team are as gen.
tlemanly lot of players as I
have ever met and we ever hope
to meet. The game was devoid
of wrangling and the best of
spirits prevailed on both sides. -

single amounting preceded by q hot bath

Cuticura Ointment possesses, at the

simple wants of the toilet, In caring for
the skin, scalp, hair, hands and feet,

be guided by the experience of others.
He says:
II had a very bad case Of Kidney
Trouble, which affected my urinary
organs SO that l had to get up every
hour OF the night. / could not retain
my urine and my feet and limbs began
to bloat up. My weight was quickly
running down.
AFTER I had tried many things In
vain, l began to use Dodd's Kidney
Pills, O medicine which had cured
some other very bad cases.
This remedy has done wonders for
ms. I have gained eight pounds in
two months. The bloat has all gone
from my feet and legs, and I don't
have to get up at night. I took in all
about ten boxes before I was all
sound"
Those who suffer as did Mr.. Grover
can make no mistake in taking Dodd's
Kidney Pills, for they are a sure, safe
and permanent cure for all Kidney and
urinary disorders.

Argentine stock raisers are fully

years the choicest strains OF cattle nave

Of Europe, and no finer herds may be
found on earth than those OF the better
parts of the Argentine Republic. The
cattle are all grass and alfalfa fed. The

unknown. Ultimately the Argentina
steer will get his ration Of corn, but
many years must eiapse before that

Business Pays Well.
Under present conditions stock rails
