DOES YOUR BACK EVER ACHE ?

That troublesome pain In the small of
the back points straight to kidney sick
ness. BackaChe will not leave of It's
own accord, nor will sick kidneys cure
themselves. Every day OF neglect
makes the cure harder.
Don't make light OF pain in the
back. 1t means there is congestion and
inflammation in the kidneys-that the
kidneys are clogged and inactive, can't
do their whole duty of filtering the
blood. 1t means the circulation of i'm
pure blood throughout the body, a
weakening of every nerve, muscle and
vital organ.
Inactive kidneys cause rheumatism,
neuralgia, govt, headaches, dizzy spells,
nausea, indigestion, weak heart, gravel,
stone in the kidneys, dropsy, too fire.
quent passage of urine and other
urinary disorders. There is a constant
tendency towards fatal diabetes or
Bright's disease.
When you first feel pain in the small

wrong with the urine, don't delay a mo-
ment Give the kidneys the help they
need.

Ranking lawn tennis players of the
country have recently been canvassed for
their views as to challenging the Britons
this year for the Dwight +. Davis interna-
tional challenge cup. From what Clothier,
who was a member of the American chal-
longing the team last year, has said to
several Of the players those who shape
the affairs of the national government
body in the sport are against sending over
a team. That such move is directly in
opposition to the wishes of the following
of the sport in this country is evident
wherever lawn tennis is talked OF in this
city. The timldity of those in control is
severely censured and 1t is felt that such
methods do much to retard the develop
ment Of the sport here. Somewhat In oppo-
sition to the canvass Of the national asso-
citation has been the favorable attitude
that Beals Wright. the national champion,
end his ardent supporters have taken
toward sending a challenge and a team to
meet the famous Englishmen in an effort
to return the blue ribbon of the tennis
courts to this country. Many of the experts
believe that a team headed by Wright, now
at the pinnacle Of his game. would be sue
cessful this year. This in view of the fact
that only narrow margin Of points actu-
ally separated the Americans from victory
last July at Wimbledon. 1t is this element
that may force matters, as was done at the
annual meeting of last February, and
caused something like a split in the lawn
tennis ranks.

The call will soon be made for the annual
meeting of the Omaha Rod and Gun club
which was organized last spring. The
shooters and fishermen of the city became
quite enthusiastic over the new club and
considerable money was raised toward
building a new club house at CORTLAND
Beach, but the high waters last spring put
a stop to the work, as IT was impossible
for teams to get through with lumber. The
subscriptions still stand and an effort will
be made after the meeting which will be
called for about the goth of this month to
make the total subscriptions $500, which
win be sufficient to build a very suitable

NJ bSbZ-A PRETTY COhSET COVER.
Many women who have a care to the
perfect fit of their gowns prefer a corset
cover which has a few seams and thus
avoid the bulkiness which often results
from the many scanned garment. Here Is
a suggestion for corset cover having but
one seam and that in the center of the
back. This is bias seam, so 1t fits the
form perfectly and without difficulty This
model is not only a perfect fitting one,
but very easily made, as may be seen.
The slight fullness in the front OF the cor
set cover is held at the waist line by a
ribbon run through beading. which forms
a neat finish. The corset cover may be as
elaborate or as plain as is desired and yet
be very attractive. The one shown has
lace medallions, inset into the front and
a narrow lace fulled about the neck and
armhole edges. The medium kind requires

Dean George E. Vincent OF the Junior
colleges of the university said that he
considered it significant fact that the
conference authorities got together with
such unanimity and such a spontanelty in
their demand for clean sportmanship. He
said: The action will put foot ball back
to where 1t was twenty years ago, back to
a purely amateur plane. The spirit OF pro-
fessionalism and high specialization was
running away with the old ideals. The
adjustment of the training table is an ex-
cellent one. 1t will put the men upon an
honor system of training A certain amount
Of moral stamina will be required for a
man to subject himself voluntarily and
without coercion to the rigors of strict
training; and those who cannot observe
training ethics ought not to represent their
university on the athletic field. At Yale,
remember, several men were ruled of the
crew simply because they did not have
sufficient moral responsibility to train

At one time and another much has been
said about the big advances in pay a
minor Lacquer gets when he goes up. One
Of the Omaha players who was taken on
by big league team won't tell any such
stories for awhile at least. He was sent
his contract recently, and it named the
pay he got in Omaha, the only difference
being that he gets six months in the big
league, when he had but five in the West
ern. He thought he would get at least
$50 a month more, but he isn't offered a
cent raise. Similar stories are heard from
others who were taken up under the draft.
1t Is beginning to dawn on the darkened
minds of the minor league player that the
big salaries only go for the big stars, or
on paper; the contracts don't call for them.
This isn't much encouragement for the
youngster, but 1t teaches him that 500
a month in a minor league isn't so bad,
when the big league manager offers him
the same pay and no more.

No action was taken at the meeting Of
the rules committee in New York week
ago in regard to Walter Camps suggestion
that a team must go ten yards in three
downs instead Of five yards as at the pres
ent time. Considerable discussion was in
dulged in and 1t seemed to meet with
favor, but it was not decided whether the
ten yards must be made in three downs,
or just what change will be made in the
matter. The matter Of a field laboratory
was also discussed, but no action was
taken and the same situation exists in re-
gard to a central body Of officials, the sub
committee making its report, but no action
being taken. Proposed changes were passed
only tentatively and 1t is possible that
some of the measures proposed will not go
through, the votes cast simply being to
represent the sense of the meeting, al
though the fact that they were passed is a
good indication that they may go through.
Measures tending to cut out brutality and
all forms of unnecessary roughness were
approved. One of these was that the Of
Tending team lose half the distance be-
tween where the offense was committed
and the goal. Measures were also tenta-
game and to weaken the defense, and 1t is
almost assured that some sort OF for
ward pass will be permitted. 1t was also
recommended that a player being disquali-
fed for a second time in a season be de-
clared ineligible for one year from the
time Of committing the offense. Unsports-
manlike conduct is also to include abusive
language to opponents or officials and the
penalty is to be suspension for the re-
mainder of the game. An extra umpire is
to be added to assist In watching for all
offenses. The greatest departure from the
old game is the forward pass. There can
be dozen forward passes behind the line
of scrimmage, but none once the ball is
carried beyond the line of scrimmage. Six
men shall always be on the line of scrim-
mage. The defense is weakened by a rule
declaring that not more than six men
shall be permitted on the line of scrim-
mage on the defense, the others to be
clearly behind the feet of the linemen, in
side the men on the end of the line. This
means that one end must drop back which
will give more opportunity for end runs.
Hurdling into the line is prohibited.
