EDITORIAL COMMENT.

Golfers for February 3, 1906, says:
Whatever happens TO football, the
country is safe. Even though Har-
ward should not play Yale next No
vember, the vitality of the nation
would lot necessarily sink into i'm
mediate and irreparable decay.
There are many interesting ways of
getting husky, AS a matter of fact,
comparatively few can ascribe their
physical %wellbeing to the football
they have played. The game de-
mands strong, active young men,
with plenty of fighting spirit-the
sort of men who would take vigorous
exercise of some sort Oh other If foot
ball had never been heard Of. 1t is
the comparative weaklingS-the
b~andy-legged freshmen, not fit enough
for the eleven, who go in for run
ming, or lacrosse, or cricket, or ten
nis-that later directly trace their
healthy bodies to participation in col
lege athletics. If it had not been,
however, for the glamour shed by
their fellow-classmen who were lucky
enough to be able to play football,
they might never have been stirred
to take up athletics at all-and there
you are. The points of view from
which the game can be attacked and
defended are endless. Some of its
most harmful features are mere phe-
nomena of the American tempera-
ment-nervous, intensely in earnest,
determined to win at all hazards.
Boys oVerdo, go stale" fall behind
in their college work, just as their
fathers drive themselves into nervous
! probation with business. Much of
the deplorable professionalism, y
again, is due, not to peculiarties of
the game, but to a general ethical
h~aziness of a community not yet
sophisticated in the special standards
that govern gentlemanly sport. Such
letters as were published in the re-
CEN articles in Golfers On profess
sionalism in western college football,
in which farmer boys bargained for
their services with INSCRIPTIONS
coaches, are genearlly almost pathet-
ic in their ~naivete. The action of
the Harvard overseers in f~orbidding
Harvard students to play intercOlleg-
late football until the game is ac-
ceptably reformed, accompanying. as
it does, similar action at Columbia,
Union, and other Institutions, seems
to settle the fact that the game of
next autumn must, specifically at
least, be radically different from that
of the past. Whether this means
more officials, ten yards instead of
five on three downs, disqualifying
men for rough play somewhat as in
hockey. tackling above the waist,
more space between the forwards, or
between the forwards and backs, re-
mains to be seen. The objection
that too few men are able to play the
game under the present conditions is
/ very pertinent one. Why might
not each college have three teams
instead of one, graded according to
weight. somewhat as prize-ighters
are graded, into heavyweights, vel
terweights, and Iightweights? A
game between two 135-pound elev-
ems, for instance-about the type of
men that make up the track teams
would furnish plenty of end running
and open play without the change of
a single rule and would be a divert
ing departure from the battles be-
tween the comparatively sluggish
giants of today.

The firemen are going to put it up
the city good and hard on the salary
question. This may be somewhat
embarrassing in view of the Hillery
law being enforced. There were
strong arguments in favor of the
repeal of this measure at a recent
hearing at Trenton, however, and it
is probable that the statute may be
wiped out. There are a great many
city officials who would breathe a
sigh of relief if this were done.

CURE FOR HAY FEVER.
z. James Belt Says HyOmei Will Give
Relief. Sold Under Guarantee.

The hay fever season is at hand and
many people have already arranged to
leave town so that they may avoid the
sneezing. the watery, eyes, and other
annoying symptoms of this disagree
able summer disease.
T. James Belt wishes us to announce
that when Hyoemi is used as a pre-
ventive or a cure there will be no hay
fever. He advises daily treatment with
Hyomei for a couple of weeks before
the usual time for the appearance of
the disease. If this is done, the attack
will be prevented. However, IL the
treatment is not started soon enough
and the disease makes its appearance,
use Hyomei six or seven times daily
and relief will be had at once.
There is no stomach dosing when
Hyomei is used. Breathe it through
the neat pocket inhaler that comes i'm
every outfit, so that the medication
reaches the minutest air cells, killing
all germs and soothing and healing the
diseased membrane.
The complete outfit costs but S1.00
extra bottles soc. II is the only treat
ment for hay fever sold by q. James
Belt with n guarantee to refund the
money If it does MOTIVE satisfaction.

Marking Trunks

A curious fashion of marking trunks
by some individual and odd device has
come into practice. 1t is a trick that
helps to identify ones baggage in
stantly, even at a distance, in a crowd
ed railway station. and thus facilitates
rayel especially abroad, where so
much red tape entangles baggage
transportation.
Some Of the devices used are queer,
to say the least. A lover of dogs had
big brindle heads in brown and white
painted at intervals on all her trunks
and suit cases before sailing for Ger
many. She felt sure, she said. that
she would be able to identify her bag
gage anywhere by these signs.
Another curious design is that OF
skull and crossbones, done i'm black,
white and red. on top. sides and ends
Of trunk and on the bottom of every
bag, of one traveller.
Dumhhel designs I'm red. white and
blue identify another lot Of luggage.
one society woman has her trunks
marked with design Of a pair Of
gloves painted red. black and gold.
and appearing as if just taken off the
hand and carelassly tossed in the
trunk.
Family crests IN gold and colors are
used: and college girls going abroad
have curious Chinese dragons, birds
etc, done in oriental color combina-
tions on their baggage.

THE GENTLE SEX

Don't think that YOU are the only
one in the world with troubles to bear.
or that your trouble is worse than that
of any one else.
You can't grow to manhood or wo-
manhood without incurring worries
and responsibilities.
The children are the only carefree
people in the world, and even they
have their tiny worries and woes.
The only thing TO do is to turn a
brave face to the world and carry
your burden cheerfully. The less COM
plant you make the more people viii
respect you.
When you are moaning over your
own particular worry cast your mind
about among your friends and see if
they each have not some burden to
carry which is quite as heavy as yours.
How many Of them would you care to
change places with?
There is no sense in botherlng other
people with your woes. They will
listen for a while but soon they will
begin to avoid you.
Also there is no sense I'm brooding
over your misfortunes and thinking
yourself the most abused, unlucky per-
son in the world, for you are not.
