FOOT BALL
River Falls 8 New Richmond O

River Falls high went to New
Richmond last Saturday to meet
the high school of that place at foot
ball. The game was called at lis,
and started with a rush. Both
teams were confident of winning.
and both went into the game with a
determination to make good. But
it did not take long to demonstrate
that the River Falls team was doing
the rushing, and that New Rich
mond had but little chance of win
ming. For fifteen minutes the bat
tie ragged, and in that time River
Falls made four thuchdowns, none
of which were allowed, because the
referee said that in their eagerness
to score they were resorting TO hold
ing in the line and by the backs,
and each time he penalized them Is
yards. However, in spite of the
holding and the penalties, River
Falls was given points on a safety
by New Richmond, and secured a
touchdown on a line play, kicking
goal after it, so that the score was
8 to 0. But in the play that made the
touchdown Carl Utgard of the New
Richmond team had his head cut
and for few minutes it looked as
if he might be badly hurt, so the
game was called off, to be played
over on River Falls grounds Nov.
%. Utgard's hurt proved very
small, and he was ready to play in
a few minutes, so he will be in the
game for all he is worth when the
team comes here. Remember the
date, Nov. %.

River Falls versus Hudson,
AT River Falls, Nov, 10,

Do you want to see the high school
football team in action? Then Wis
it the high-school campus at 2:3O
o'clock in the afternoon of next
Saturday when they will meet their
old-time rivals, the Hudson team
in battle royal.
Hudson has some of the best foot
ball players in the high schools of
this section, and they always play
their best against River Falls, but
the local team says that the visitors
will sure have to go some if they
win this year. Perhaps so. Come
out and see. A naughty spirit Of
ten goes before a fall, and the locals
may need some caution about over
confidence. 1t will be great game
and scientific, and the team that
wins will do so because it plays foot
ball. Incidentally, if you are pres
ent, keep behind the ropes. En-
croaching upon the field by specta-
tors is punishable, penalizing the
team IS yards, if it is their friends
that encroach, and this penalty may
be repeated on every play, Don't
make the home team lose by crowd
ing out inside the ropes.
Remember, Hudson at high school
campus Saturday at 2:30 p. m.

BABA BHARATPS LECTURE
DEFENDED BY WOMAN
SAYS CRITIC MISCONSTRUED
HlNDOO
SAYS
Quotes from The Herald to Show
What the Oriental Teacher Meant
When He Compared Napoleon to
the Nazarene

Editor Herald: I am surprised to
shalls letter in which she takes ex-
| ception to a lecture given by Baba
Bharati on Thought Force" in which
he took for an example the concentra-
tion of Christ and that of Napoleon.
In the first place, Baba Bharati's lee
lures are not delivered to "Krishna
devotees," as Mrs Marshall says, but
are public lectures and are attended
by representative men and women of
Los Angeles. In fact, a few devotees
of the churches attending these lectures
might, through them, become devotees
of Jesus Christ, as many in the audi
ence of this brilliant Hindoo, like my
self, go to his lectures to get a better
understanding of and love for Jesus
the Christ they have long hungered
for and received not at the churches.
In the second place, the quotation
below, taken from The Herald's synop-
tical report of the Baba's lecture in
question, will speak for itself:
"A great hero of the western world,
many thousand times greater than Ma
poleon, hero at whose name Napoleon
bowed in all humility during his hum
BILE days in ST. Helena, was Christ
Jesus of Nazareth. And yet the source
of Christs thousand times greater
greatness was within the depths of his
mind. Christ was nothing but his pow
erful thoughts, as Napoleon was.
Though the ones thoughts were of
peace, the others were of war. The
machinery which produced the miracu-
lous results, in both cases, was the TO-
cused forces of the mind. Both achieved
greatness-one ephemeral, enmity-pro-
voking, the other undying, peace-instill-
ing and love-radiating The thought
force OF Jesus Christ has penetrated
the vistas of ages and is swaying the
minds of men today with the jeweled
scepter of love, his love of God and
man. Christ's thought force is the
greatest strength and treasure of the
western world, compared to which its
| material wealth, military power and
scientific achievements are as nothing.
Christ is the only asset of western civ
ilization, though he does not belong to
that civilization"
1t is beyond my conception how Mrs.
Marshall could misconceiVe the Baba's s
lecture as she has done In her letter.
was present at that lecture myself and
heard him quote the purport OF Napo-
Icons estimate Of Jesus Christ. the
same as quoted by Mrs. Marshall.
cannot therefore, resist the conclusion
that Mrs. Marshall has misconstrued
the Baba. Yours truly
ALICE ARMSTRONG.

SAN FRANCISCO'S FUTURE
]. M. Schneider of Boston Store Gives
Glowing Account of Northern
Citv'S Activity

J. NJ. Schneider, president of the J.
w. Robinson company (the Boston
dry goods store), has returned from
San Francisco, where he went on
purchasing trip. He brings glowing
accounts of the progress being made
in the rebuilding of the northern city
and says it will not be many years
until new San Francisco is better than
San Francisco before the earthquake.
There is ever increasing activity in
all lines of business and the people
seem to have plenty of western push
to carry them through all the hard
places" said Mr.. Schneider II was
astounded at the improvements which
have been made already, for it seems
almost incredible that so few months
could make such % difference"
Mr.. Schneider is one of the men most
actively interested in the coming Fiesta
and it is his belief that the carnival
of the flowers will be even more at
tractive this year than on former oc-
casions.
There is really nothing new about
the Fiesta at present for it is little
too soon to give more than general
idea of our plans, but everything looks
very promising" said he.

Constipation


A gentleman wants to know what to
| do for severe case of constipation
He says that he has taken all kinds of
medicine but 1t is doing him no good.
| 1t is the same story that repeats it.
| self over and over and over again, and
no matter how many times people are
told that medicines do not cure but re-
lieve temporarily, and more often than
not bring about more serious condi-
| ton, 1t seems to do them no good.
True, it Is difficult to overcome early
training; but, 1 think, it is about time
that people should commence to realize
that if they really wish to be we'll they
must stay well. People must IS far as
1t is in their power prevent an attack
of any kind, and constipation especially
can be easily prevented.
There are few simple rules that one
must follow strictly, in order to get rid
of an attack of constipation. In the
first place eliminate as much as possi-
BILE the more solid foods, such as meats
of all description. Secondly, soon after
arising in the morning and before
breakfast drink a glass of hot water.
Avoid breakfast If you possibly can
help it, but If you must put something
into your stomach, eat baked apples, or
any other nourishing fruit. Should you
eat some breakfast, see to it that dur
ing certain hOur, preferably at a GER
tain minute, you retire to place and
remain there for about ten minutes, in
order to satisfy a law of the body.
Do not drink alcoholic beverages, tea
or coffee; do not smoke too much do
not worry Be calm, and; however little
you may know about suggestion, try to
practice some, especially when you
make the attempt to satisfy the law of
the body above n entioned. Take no
medicine of any kind, no matter who
gives or recommends 1t to you. For
what you are after Is a cure and the
only way to effect cure for constipa-
ton is to put in the stomach as little
as possible of nourishing foods and none
at all that do not nourish. There Is no
record of a single case of starvation be-
cause the individual ate little and elm
mated the more solid foods entirely for
a short period; hence do not fear of
dying from starvation.
Eat nuts of all kinds. A small sack
OF peanuts and an apple or two before
retiring make an excellent cathartic.
Eat plenty of vegetables mixed with
pure olive oil. Eat a few ripe olives at
mealtime. Contrary to general impress
sion regarding breakfast foods, So
called, / advise that none shall be eaten
in the morning, and If eaten at any
other time of the day, eat sparingly
and use as little cream as possible.
Above all, think less Of being consti-
pated, and that you must do something
for 1t. Do nothing but be discreet In
matters of food. Give your stomach
rest and your bowels will take a vaca-
tion, so to speak, of their own accord.
