was the adoption of the ten-yard rule.
As II now stands. the offense viii b

mass play will not do this. at least II
the two teams are OF anything like
equal strength, and. with weight not
counting. the only resort Is open play.
In which science and skill will be =

with countless new formations.
In addition, the rule regarding
hurdling was made more binding. No
feet.irst hurdling will be allowed. and
as few hurdlers can 20 over the line
in any other position without losing
their feet large per cent OF the
hurdling will be eliminated. And then
again a new ruling regarding tackling
was made. When the runner touches
the ground with any portion OF his
body other than his hands or feet he
Is down and the ball Is out OF play.
This rule Is aimed at dragging and
crawling should eliminate ''piling on"
tactics. Tackling high Is again al
lowable, and will aid both the runner
and the defense men. for the former
will not be compelled 10 guard their
legs so closely and may thus reach

One rule was adopted affecting the
positions OF the linesmen. Only tho
center and the guards may ipseriock

the committee worked against the
mass formation. for the defense Is en-
abled TO see more clearly what is TAX

IN the picturesque Rue Notre Dame
des Champs. Tho Duchess de Tongue
VILE was one OF the first. and Il was
she who took steps TO obtain funds for
the little community she had brought
into the city. The rule OF the order
forbade the sisters to accumulate
money; poverty was obligatory. But a
few rich noyices were received. and
the sisters seemed TO have found all
they wanted for their daily sustenance.

Bathing A Baby.

Many fathers stand aloof from the
common domestic duties, not because
they are so busy or because they are
not willing, but because of ignorance.
How many men are there who would not
gladly drop business at any time and
give baby bath, if they only knew
how? Yet it is more simple than it at
first seems to the inexperienced. Fill
the bath-tub full Of any good water, first
carefully removing all germs. Put
your elbow in occasionally to see if it
is the right temperature. If ice forms
on your elbow the water is too cold. II
there are blsters, then it is too warm.
Be moderate in all things.
Take the baby firmly by both feet
and shake him loose from his flannel
moorings, until you begin to see safety
pins ahead. Then remove the safety
pins with gas nippers, and unroll until
the baby looms into sight.
Now, having put on your rubber coat,
put one hand firmly under the baby's
chest and the other on his back, and
launch him on the still waters. When
he has kicked all the water out of the
bath tub, renew as before.
Be careful, while you are manipulat-
ing the baby, to keep him face down.
Otherwise, you would not be able tc
put water anywhere else but in the
mouth. Tom Mason, in the March
Delineator.

There are some publishers who i'm

continue their magazines or papers
after the subscriber has paid up and
ordered the same stopped. Many
times the paper is sent without the
consent of the party addressed and
after year or two the publisher sends

forthcoming threatens to sue, often
turning the account over to some col
lecting agency. The News would ad-
wise those who are imposed on in this
way to protect themselves by refusing
to take such papers from the office, or
if left in your box by the rural carrier,
have him take them out and tell him
not to put them in. Don't accept the
paper. Then don't under any circnm-
stances, pay for paper you did not
order. There is no law by which the

As it Actually is.

When the construction of the Spo-
kane & Inland war first talked of, some
said that the local merchants would
suffer loss of trade, as the people
would naturally drift into the habit Of
going to Spokane. Since the road has
been in operation more people who live
in the territory that the road traverses
are trading with local merchants than
ever before. In this respect, so far,
the local business men have been the
gamers. .-Rosalia Citizen.

True Success.

II you know what you want and you
work for it and for nothing else, and
you love 70 work while you are doing
it so you can't help doing it well, be-
cause it would make you unhappy to
bungle, you will get what you are after
as sure as fate. Making money is
easy; its nothing; any fool can make
money at times. But that only means
so many pounds of gold, and its perma-
nent work that counts; something done
completed. Why, my boy, the only
terror that death really has is the
thought Of leaving something unfn-
ished. Its like setting your heart on
training your son for something and
dying when he is two years old.
Everybody nowadays wants money;
each man for what it means, what it
can do for him. But only an utter ass
would deny that health is much more
than money. Yet while the average
man has good health he forgets he
has what's better than money and he
thinks of only what he hasn't. If you
are doing big work itself that gives you
the most pleasure and not the money
there may be in it; But you also may
forget it. 1 don't want you to forget
the joy of the work nor the money oi
it, but you must never measure results
exclusively by dollars. If the work
you are doing is good the dollars will
come to you in such way that you
will have to lock the door Of the safe
if you don't want them to walk right
in. Sure as fate, Sam. m.-Sampson Sock
