weak, sickly man or woman because
such youngster has it's own way about
diet and eats and drinks things that
are untitled for any stomach and sick

Il was always delicate spoiled child
and my parents used to let me drink
coffee because l would cry for it," says
Il Georgia young woman: when I
entered school my nervousness in
creased and my parents thought it was
due to my going to school so they took
me out again. But | did not get any
better and my headaches got worse
and weakened me so that l was unfit
for any duty. Sometimes | would go
whole day without any other nourish-
ment than a cup of coffee.
Last spring I had a bad attack of
the Grippe and when l recovered /
found that coffee nauSeated me so |
could not drink it and even a few swal-
lows would cause a terrible burning in
my stomach. 1t was at this time that a
friend who had been much benefited by
the use of Postum suggested that | try
this food drink I found it simply de-
the results speak for themselves. I
have gained Il pounds and my nerves
are as steady as any ones.
Il consider myself well and strong
and / make it point now to take cup
of Postum with cracker or two as
soon as come home from school in the
afternoon. Postum with crackers or a
biscuit makes my luncheon. 1t GER
tainly saved my life for l know coffee
would have killed me in time had |
continued drinking it.
Il have a young girl friend. stenog-
rapher. who declares nothing strength

and she has a little oil stove in
her office and makes a cup Of

TO BE DECIDED.
intercollegiate Baseball League
Not Wholly Acceptable.
Points Which May Have to Be Ex-
planned by Some People.
Nothing Given but Much Asked by
One Party.

Orono, Me-, Oct. 21.-(SpeciaD.-
Manager J. A. McDermott of the Uni
versity of Maine baseball team, has re-
ceived the following letter from the
Athletic Board:
AT meeting of the Maine Inter-
collegiate Athletic Board, held in
Orono, Oct. II. it was voted unani-
mously to recommend to the Maine col
leges that a Maine intercollegiate base
ball league be formed before the next
playing season.
1T is believed that among the adj
vantages of such league properly Or
ganized, would possess, are:
IA schedule whose dates would be
fai" to all the colleges.
'2-The same number of games for
each team.
ga definite championship.
"4-EquitaDle financial arrangements.
"5-Agreemcnt in regard to umpires.
Gan organization which might ar
range for trips into Maine by teams
from outside colleges, at reasonable
expense to each Maine college,
Since the dissolution of the Maine
Intercollegiate Baseball League in 1900,
there has been no permanent baseball
organization between Bowdoin, Bates.
Colby and the University of Maine and
the managers of the respective teams
have been at disadvantage in arrang-
ing a consistent schedule of games with
each other. Another point that has
hen coming up year after year is the
question of deciding the championship
team of Maine, for where the managers
arrange the games hit or miss, the
teams will not have played an equal
number of games and to rate the team
on percentage basis would be unfair.
while to reckon the championship in
any other way often leads to complica-
tions. &
At the meeting of the intercollegiate
Athletic Board, held, last Saturday. it
could not be voted that an intercollegi
ate baseball league be formed, as Bow
dom, being q non-member of this
board, had no representatives present.
1t could simply recommend. and now
whether the State will see such a

the acceptance of the recommendation
of the board by the athletic interests
of the four Maine colleges.
The Maine Intercollegiate Athletic
Board is an association formed in ac
oofdance with Article VI of the rules
drA WIN up at a conference of the four
Maine colleges held at Waterville, Nov
g. 1902. and which reads:
An arbitration board shall be APP
pointed by the athletic interests of each
college upon which it's representatives
shall be one Undergraduate. one mem

who shall have been ont of college at
least five years and not be a resident
of the town in which the college is To-
Gated. The decisions of this board shall
ne binding in all matters of dispute IN
der the athletic agreements adopted by
the different colleges"
Bates, Colby and the University Ct
Maine adopted this article. while Bow
duin rejected it.
