Athletic committee, made an unofi-

that if the action of the football rules

opposed to football as sport, he said,

action within the next two weeks. If
the game is changed it will be play

not be changed Harvard will not play
intercollegiate matches.

Question Arises on Building of Light
House Congressman Reedsr
Wants to Know Whether Railroads

Washington, Jan. s. - The house
committee on interstate and foreign
commerce has decided to defy the
senate in connection with all light
house measures and similar bills
which must be passed on by the COM
mittee. 1t has been the practice of
the house to frame these measures
In such way that sum of money
not specified but not to exceed a
certain amount, is to be used for the
particular improvement. The senate
invariably has changed such bills so
that they appropriate a fixed amount.
This system is regarded by the mem
bers of the house interstate and
foreign commerce committee as be-
ing conducive to reckless eXpendi-
lures ard the members of the house
will refuse to accept such bill here
ate to indorse measures which will
encourage the completion of work at
the lowest possible cost and the saw
Ing of balances which may remain.
This action of the house committee
is in line with the general opposition
which the house is offering to what is
declared to be the encroachment of

GAGE SPEAKS OF PANIC.
Says Monetary Conditions In This
Country Are DisgracefuL

New York, Jan. S-Lyman Gage,
former secretary of the treasury. said
that he agrees with Jacob Schiff in
the opinion that great panic is inc
vitable unless steps are taken to
remedy the inelasticity of the exist
ing currency system.
81 agree positively with Mr..
Schiff," said Mr. Gage, that the.
monetary conditions which have ex,
listed in this country during the last
sixty days are disgraceful to us as a
nation and l further agree with him
that stunning panic is but mat
ter of time unless something is done.
The more promptly and effectually
this is dore the better for the United
States.
IN my opinion there is no imme-
diate danger, but the danger itself
is apparent and if the country sits
passive under existing conditions the
country will suffer. l don't under
stand how any careful and thought
full financier can fail to realize the
peril

Every housekeeper should know that
If they will buy Defiance Cold Water
Starch for laundry use they will save
not only time. because it never sticks
to the iron, but because each package
contains 16 Ozone full pound-while
al other Cold Water Starches are put
up in A-pound packages, and the price
is the same, 10 cents. Then again
because Defiance Starch is free from
all injurious chemicals. If your grocer
tries to sell you a 1907. package it
is because he has a stock on hand
which he wishes to dispose of before
he puts in Defiance. He knows that
Defiance Starch has printed on every

INDIA's PINK CITY.
Here the Royal Tourists Had Their
First Real Experience.

After the glittering wilderness of
the marble palaces of Udaipur, which
would strain the eye were it not for
the cool setting of green in which
they are imbedded, it must have been
a welcome relief to enter the flour
ishing modern city of Jaipur, whose
houses are decorated with an amaz-
ingly beautiful tint of pink madden.
Here, says Modern Society Uondon),
the royal tourists had their first real
experience of ancient Rajput pagean-
try, and the parade of thirty ele-
plants, gaily caparisoned in cloth-of
gold-one of them the most gigantic
creature in all Asia was well
matched by the camel corps which
the maharaja keeps up as part of
his spectacular grandeur. These ami
mails were present at the Delhi Dur
bar and were therefore seen by. the
Duke and Duchess of Connaught. The
vision of this glittering reception will
remain among the most splendid
memories that their royal highnesses,
the Prince and Princess of Wales,
will bring away with them.

OPEN PUBLICITY THE BEST
GUARANTY OF MERIT.

When the maker of medicine. sold
through druggists for family use, takes
his patients fully into his confidence by
frankly and fearlessly publishing broad
cast as well as on its bottle wrappers,
a full list OF all its ingredients in plain
English, this action on his part is the
best possible evidence that he is not
afraid to have the search light of inves-
tigation turned full upon his formula
and that it will bear the fullest scrutiny
and the most thorough investigation.

cure of the weaknesses, periodical pains
and functional arrangements of the or

cotics and no alcohol-pure, triple-refined
glycerine, of proper strength being used
instead of the commonly employed alco-
hol, both for extracting and preserving
the active medicinal properties found in
the roots of the American forest plants
employed. 1t is the only medicine for
women's peculiar diseases. sold by drug
giSts, that does not contain large per-

run so harmful to woman's delicate, nerv-

harmless, and serves valuable purpose
by possessing intrinsic value all its own,
and besides it enhances the curative
