A Wonderful Cure.
BedrIdden Six Months, ] Am
Now Doing My Own
HoueoWoek.

About Is years ago I was all run down
with nervous prostration and palpitation
of the heart (often getting black in the
face and thought to be DYING, losing flesh,
till from 100 pounds my weight was re-
duced to SO pounds, and for six months
was confined to my bed. A relative Of
mine who had been troubled with female
weakness and nervous prostration and
had been cured by Thompson's Baros-
ma, recommended it to me. Ibegan taking
Th0mpson's Barosma at once and was
not only cured of nervous prostration and
palpitation of the heart, but began to gain
in flesh until in short time weighed lao
pounds, and from that time on until now
have been perfectly well, doing my own
housework.-MRs.E ELY MARSH, Titusyille,

YALE DEFEATS Y. M. C. A.
 IN BASKET BALL GAME
Sons of Old Eli Have Better Team Work and Were More Acc rate in Throwing GoaIs-The Athletic Club and Yale Will
 Try Conclusions Tomorrow Night at 8'15 O'clock

Yale defeated the Y. M. c. A. basket ball team last night by a score of 24 to s. The game was not as one-sided as the score indicates, for the association team made it interesting for Yale all through the evening, and the crowd was fre- quently on its feet to cheer some good play by one team or the other.
 Superior team work won for Yale. The passing was better by far than that of the Y. M. c. A., and the sons of Old Eli could drop the ball in the basket with unerring aim On the other hand the as- sociation team missed easy chances at goals several times.
 Although defeated In the end of the put up a game fight and scored as often in the second half as in the first. From the jump it looked as if the local team might win the game. For about three minutes the visitors were outplayed, but after that they jumped into the game and prevented the locals from scoring again in that half The passing of the assoca- tion team was excellent for the first few minutes of play, but let down after that. The two goals made in the first half were the result of good shots at the basket. hut imme diately after these good plays the locals missed several easy chances to score.
 In the second half Yale again out played the locals. the passing in the early part of that half being even better than in the first half. After the game was won beyond a doubt ODonnell, the manager, relieved Anderson at forward. It was his first game, and after that the Yale play dropped off to some extent.
 Anderson distinguished himself in the second half, making three goals in the little length of time that he was in the game. He played a beautiful game during the first half but some fast work on the part of the Y. M. c. A. guards prevented his scoring several deserved goals.
 Clifford, the Yale center, played the game at all times, making several bril- liant passes and scoring two goals which were exceedingly hard. On the defensive Church made the best plays for Yale.
 In individual playing several times. the association players outplayed their op- ponents, but lack of team work and inac curacy in trying for the goal could not

JUDGE FEAGlN DISCUSSES
 SOME PHASES OF CRIME

Judge N B. Feagin. who presides over the police court of Birmingham, was hon ored by the American Association for the Advancement of Science by being invited to read a paper before the fifty-ifth an- nual gathering of the association at New Orleans yesterday. The reputation gained by Judge Feagin throughout the country in connection with the reform of juvenile criminals was known to members of the association, and his paper dealt with matters pertaining in general to the crim- inal question.
 Judge Feagin selected as his subject "Why Advancing Civilization in America Increases Crime" with methods of re- lief The following is a resume of the paper read by him before the association in New Orleans.
 "rhe most civilized and progressive na- tions have the most criminals. and more abundant crime as they ascent higher in the scale of social development" Arthur Cleveland Hall.
 Statistics show that crime is increasing more rapidly than population in the three great world powers-England, Germany and the United States-while it is decreas- ing in France. Why France should prove an exception and the United States not, in this respect, this paper proposes to show.
 The civilization of America is unique in the worlds history. The new world pre- sented conditions that gave a wider berth for freedom of action, for strong person. ality and marked individuality in the evo- lution of character. Her civilization evoked what may be called American manhood a spirit of self-confidence, self-sacrifice. self-respect and sef-culture Notwith- standing this noble inheritance from our forefa thers, this self-sacrifcing and self respecting spirit is largely wanting In their decendents of today. In it's place we find selfish. sordid and avaricious spirit that is a disgrace to American manhood and a blot upon American civilization. Aping the civilization of the older coun- tries people are dividing into classes-the rich, the weil-to-do and the struggling poor The rich largely control and often corrupt legislation. make laws in the city, state and nation to protect their property and personal interest rather than to pro- teet the struggling class in the pursuit of a livelihood Many of the laws that are enacted to improve social conditions are in advance of the mental and moral train ing of the struggling wage-worlIers and tend more to oppress than to elevate them. hence from this class comes so per cent of the criminals that infest society.
