A Story of the Olympic Games.

James b. Connolly, who is generally
recognized as the foremost American
writer of sea stories was famous ath
lete in his college days, and will re re-
membered by many as winner Of one
of the important events at the Olym-
pic games held at Athens in 1896. The
three-part serial he has written for
Scribner's Magazine which he calls
"An Olympic Victor: A Story of the
Modern Games" is love story of
modern Greece and wildly conveys
the spirit and enthusiasm with which
it revived the old classic games. The
description of the great Marathon
race is one of the finest things of the
kind ever written. Mr.. Connolly gives
as only an athlete could, a vivid i'm.
preston of the tremendous physical
and mental strain of the long twenty
five mile run. 1t is a mastery picture
of the great struggle for victory be-
tween the athletes of the world and of
the thrilling scenes along the way and
at the finish in the great Stadium.

| Taft
Taft was already big fellow when.
in the fall of 1874, he landed at New
Haven. HIS 225 pounds of ayoirdu-
pois looked big TO the sophomores AT
| the end of the first freshman scrap
everyone knew he was big. During
all his college days he never lose this
reputation. In the Fall Games OF his
senior year he pulled on the ugof-war
team. Those who saw this event say
that Taft started off and 'thc rest
came tagging otter" But Taft was al
| so big in other things. Here is list
of his college honors, furnished the
writer by Arson Phelps Stokes, the
secretary of Yale:
College honorS. William howard
Taft-Delta Kappa Phi Theta Psi, the
Boule, Psi Uusilon Linonia, Skull aud
Bones. and Phi Beta Kappa. Presi,
dent of our Class Boat club in fresh
man year. Member of the Delta kap-
pa campaign committee, Member of
the Freshman Class Supper Committee
He and Foster were equal in winning
second place in the Freshman Scholar
ship. Divided the first mathematical
prize with John l. Mcdonald. Won
two first sophomore composition pri-
yes. First vice-president OF the Bouie.
In the fall games, senior year, Taft
pulled on the victorious tug-of.war
team. Awarded the Philosophical
Grafton at Junior Exhibition and at
Commencement, and was speaker on
both occasions, being the salutatorian
of the class He was class orator.
Stood second in the class of 12l.
Such long list Of college honors is
the more remarkable because of the
size Of Yale. In large university the
honors are necessarily divided among
larger number of students than in
small college. "Bill' however, was

Advertising Mediums.

The advertising history made by
William l.. Douglas. the former COVER
nor and famous shoe man of Massa-
chusetts, is reasonably familiar. Mr..
Douglas has been an advertiser for
several decades and is still at the bus
mess of counting publicity at the rate
OF 100000 or so year. How he
carried the advertising idea into pol
itics and made 1t pay is also fairly
common knowledge. His venture into
political advertising has borne fruit
in many directions and advertising of
that description is now extensively
used in campaigns. as here in Water
bury during the recent municipal con.
test
Mr.. Douglas used the newspapers at
first almost exclusively in his shoe ad.
vertisng Later on the theory that
by entering the field of magazine ad-
vertisng he could correspondingly in
crease his business, he contracted for
much magazine space. He canfesses
to disappointment with this medium
The returns were not forthcoming
After fair and thorough trial he cut
out most of his magazine advertising
and is today continuing his expendi-
lures almost exclusively to newspa-
pers
Giving his reasons for his faith in
newspaper advertising in preference
to all other mediums, Mr.. Douglas
said recently
A newspaper advertisement strikes
the eve the moment the sheet is open
ed. The same advertisement would
lie hidden among the pages of a
magazine until the reader found his
way to it, if he ever did
Practically every man reads news
paper. Every man does not read mag
azines. Take village for instance,
where the one local newspaper has
perhaps 200 readers. If | put an adj
vertisement in that paper. 200 people
are going to see it. No one magazine,
nor. for that matter, all the magazines
combined, will circulate 200 copies in
the same town. The reasoning Is very
simple.
Another excellent reason for the su-
periority of newspaper over magazine
advertising rests in the fact that In
those same local papers the reader
sees the "ad' every day. OF his life
while he sees it, at best, only once a
month in magazine.
Mr.. Douglas is not the only large
advertiser who has dropped magazine
advertising and continued with the
newspapers. Two of the largest au-
tomobile manufacturing concerns In
the country recently announced their
purpose henceforth to confine their adj
vertising to MISUNDERSTANDING

This advice should be needed by
all who are subject TO rheumatism,
kidney and bladder troubles and es-

Here is the prescription which any

after each meal and again at bedtime.
The Compound Kargon in this pres
cription acts directly upon the elimi-

them filter and strain from the blood
