Saturday that they fully intended to OBJ
serve the old rules which have governed
the college games in recent years. Cap

unless some definite agreement is made
by the large colleges on the new rules,
which count fouls before the third strike
as strikes, they will not be introduced by

Princeton manager on this question and
an answer has been sent to the former
saying that Princeton will use the old
rules.

Here is a little story that we heard
about a citizen at the North end, the
other day, which goes to show how
natural wit will sometimes crop out,
under the most trying circumstances.
1t was when Capt. II. #. Morse was
city marshal. The individual in ques-
ton was coming down Water street,
and was in a condition that was decid-
edly mellow. All Of q sudden he found
himself in front of the blue coat and
brass buttons of the veteran police
officer. Most men in his condition
would have fallen into the arms of the
policeman, but not this one. Instead
of doing anything of the kind, he took
the quickest kind of a brace, and facing
Captain Morse, said: 'Hic-Mornin'
Mr.. Morse, do you know Frank CO"
CHS own nance. The marshal al
lowed that he did, whereupon the man
continued: WELL if you see Frank C,
will you-hic-tell him to go home as
fast as he cam" This was agreed to
by the marshal, and then, with a
Thank you, Mr.. Morse the other
turned on his heel and made tracks for
his home as fast as his wabbly legs
would carry him.

Many Persons
StarVe Themselves

The real basis of perfect health is
perfect nourishment. Pretty nearly
every condition of ill-health is due to
improper or imperfect nourishment;
either the proper food is not eaten or
the stomach does not extract the
proper nourishment from the food that
enters it. By this it is not meant that
the hearty eater is necessarily healthy
the stomach may not extract the
proper elements that make blood,
nerve and muscle. Food should be rel
ished; it should taste good; it should
cause no distress; it should satisfy.
How few there are who are masters of
what they eat; imperfect stomach ac-
ton may prevent them from partaking
of a great many tempting dishes. The
terrors of dyspepsia and indigestion

that the conductor took out 81 miles
when he made the trip, a short time
