THANKFUL THOMPSON

d. M. Thompson, who was de-
feated by Capt. OHM Gray for the
Legislature, took his defeat almost
thankfully. Mr.. Thompson said
that he did not expect to be elected
when he accepted the nomination,
rs he felt certain that the vote of
the 'tenderloin" district would be
against him, and he was agreeably
surprised at the splendid testi-
monial vote he received. He said
he wanted to thank the good peo-
pie of the Second ward for their
expression of confidence and es
teen. He further said that he had
a number of important business
matters to attend to that he need
not now neglect in attending the
Legislature.

NEW HAVEN, Conn, Nov. s.
Yale's oddly mixed football eleven
should be in position of advan-
tage in the seasons series of
games, under the new rules. Wal
ter Camp, the inventor of the new
system, is here acting as general
advisory coach.
Camp is Yale man and lives
here. 1t was one of the interest
ing phases OF the early football
season to witness his desperate eff
forts to coach the sons of old Eli
and bring out in practical play the
rules he had prescribed.
He says: sin a word, the new
rules are in favor of neat, open
play, calling forth the most artful
skill, and they oppose the heavy
force play which has been so fire.
quently the cause of disaster.
whatever the new era will mean
to the players, it will certainly
meet with the approval of the
spectator, for the rules make pos
sible an element of sensational
play which has heretofore been re-
tarded. AS means of steady gain
mass plays have been made almost
useless by the rule to gain 10
yards in three downs instead of
five.
actual play is, of course, the
best test, and we shall see

in her back field. She is light on
tackles. She counts much on

kicked three place kicks. They call
him the human eel" Great on long
passes, he is fleet end runner and
one of the best backs Yale ever
had.

The big problem for the coach
has been in getting two guards
and a center. To this date there
is no especially good timber in
sight. Levine and Flanders were
barred out by a new rule exempting
professional school men.

HAVE YOU WEAK LUNGS {
Do You Fear Consumption. .

When we take into consideration tIe fact that one out of every seven in this climate die of consumption, is 1t any wonder that it is feared by the people of Montgomery who have weak lungs ard chronic colds and coughs?
 A famous London physician has for years urged his patients, when tine slightest tendency to @ousu"Irtion 3p- reared, to take the best cod liver prep aiation they could find, and physicians everywhere have recognized ;hat the COd's liver contains curative values for coughs, colds, bronchitis consum- tion ard all wasting diseases unequalled in medicine, but, unfortunately, few could take and derive any benefit from old-fashioned cod liver oil and cplul- sions on account of the indigestible grease which they contain.
 Our local druggist, F.. G. wler, says, "We want every person in Mont eomery tO know the value of our new ccd liver preparation Ninol. It actual lv contains in d concentrated form all of the strengthening bodybuilding elements Of cod liver oil actually talk en from fresh cods liver. without l crop of oil or grease to upset the stom- ach and retard it's work.
