MINNESOTA COACH TALKS, TOO
Thinks Eastern Rules Committee Cap
able of Advising Regulations.


Minneapolis. Mimi, Aug. 1S.-Dr.
Harry L. williams. Minnesota's foot
ball coach. has the following to say on
new football rules:
Il think it would be extremely de-
sirable to have eastern and western IN
situations, in fact, all the colleges in the
country. playing under the same set OF
rules 1 do not see any reason why the
western Institutions should refuse TO
adopt the changes in rules which have
been advised by such capable and ex-
perienced men as Walter Camp, Paul
Dashiel, Robert Wrenn, and the other
men on the intercollegiate rules com
mittee
Il do not believe that the changes
proposed will diminish the danger Of
the game to any extent There is no
doubt that the proposed new rules will
change the game considerably. and l
am inclined to believe that it will make
it more interesting and spectacular,
and therefore appeal more to the in
terest of the general public. The game
in the middle of the field will be made
more open, and kicking will become
more prominent feature. 1 do not be
lieve that the proposed changes will

mrs. ANNA BROWN. Red Lodge, Montana
A person who is suffering from heart dis
ease IS in just as much danger as the fool
hardy lad who ventures on thin ice at the
FIRST appearance of freezing weather. Heart
disease IS the most common cause of sudden
death. Statistics show that one person in
every four have weak heart, that weak
hearts are as common as weakness of any
other organ. When the heart is weak the
pulse is irregular, the blood is thin and poor,
the circulation sluggish, causing cold extrem-
tiles. DIR. Miles Heart Cure is a great heart
and blood tonic, it regulates the hearts
action, improves the circulation and sends a
stream of pure, red blood through every vein
and artery, renewing health ana strength.
