Plenty of Direction Will Be Given
Players of Old Ell.

NEW YORK, September 2l-Tom Shev-
lin will be one of the coaches at Yale this
season having promised to come on from
the west as early as possible and remain
with the foot ball team until after the
game with Harvard. Frank Hinkey and
Carl Flanders will also assist Coach Knox.

last season in coach's capacity, and the
result of his work was to greatly strength
en- the team. Later he went to Carlisle,
where he finished the season. This fall he
will be close to Coach Knox IN directing
the work Of the team. Star coaches Will
be plentiful at Yale. and any OF the weak
spots should be found and strengthened be-
fore the Princeton and Harvard games.
The players at old Ell will soon get to-
gether and the preliminary work will begin.

week that is gone and which have caused
light harness admirers of two continents
to sit up and take notice.
Though Sonoma Girls mile in 2.O3A at
Columbus Wednesday a remarkable
one, in consideration of the fact that it
was trotted over a heavy track, the bril-
lancy of her performance is dimmed by
the wonderful mile of the black son of Todd
and Paronella. That he should be able to
finish his record breaking mile in a jog
from field of four of the fastest three
year-olds of any previous season is evidence
that when Stinson gets ready to really Act

grandson in male tail line.
Was 1t luck or superior judgment that led
the late Leland Stanford of California to
select Electioneer for a sire? When pur-
chased from Charles Bachman Of Stony
Ford, N. Y, Electioneer, although twelve
years old and used in the stud,
had nothing to his credit In the way of

Events happen daily and daily words are

in the womb of time produce great results.

of the late Senator Leland Stanford, in
this city, discussing current events. AS

ever paid for harness horse, young or old.

that event naturally came under considera-
ton. The senator, in the course OF his re-
marks, said that he had sometimes thought
that he had made a great mistake in part
ing with the colt, but when he reflected how
much good he could do with that s125. 900 he
felt it his duty to let Mr. Forbes have him.
In the course OF time Mr.. Forbes bred

received no part of that 1926, ZOO. Arion
would not have been bred to Directress;
there would have been no Fanella, and,
been no Todd nor Kentucky Todd. Thus

EAT WHAT YOU WANT.
Science has now Found the True
Way to Cure Indigestion.

A few years ago, when sufferer from
indigestion went to stomach specialist,
the result was a rigid diet list that almost
meant starvation.
But the first thing to do in the case OF
indigestion OF stomach weakness is to
strengthen the muscular, walls of the
stomach and intestines, so that they will
care for the food that is eaten. In no
other way can this be done as well as by
taking Mi-ona ia blet before each meal.
This restores strength to the stomach
muscles and stimulates the pouring ou:
of gastric juices, so that the food is digest
ed readily and its nourishment retained
in the system to nuild up energy and
vitality.
Do not think the sick headache, heart
burn, bad taste in the mouth, coated
tongue, spots before the eyes, sieepless-
