New Foot Rules.

Important changes in the rule gov
erning the forward pass play, which
prove of advantage to teams, and other
football legislation, were made by the
intercollegiate football rules commit
tee, which concluded it's session in New
York recently.
The new rule on the play of the
forward pass covers the illegal touch
ing of the ball. When illegally touch
ed the side making the illegal play
loses the ball to it's opponents on the
spot from which the pass was made.
According to the new rule only the
man of the passer's side who first legal
ly touched the ball may hereafter
take it until it has been touched by an
opponent If the forward is legally
touched and then free and is then
touched by another player of the pass
er's side, the ball goes to the oppo-
nents at the spot where touched.
The committee considered the ques-
ton of defensive tactics in connection
with the forward pass and it was de-
cided that while the forward pass is
in the air the players of the defensive
side may not use their hands or arms
on their opponents except to push
them out of the way to get at the ball.
In order to eliminate tackling it is pro-
vided that the players of the side
making the forward pass, who are elig
ible to receive the pass, may use thelI
hands and arms just the same way
that players do down under the kick
Another rule was passed making the
intermission between the halves of the
game IS minutes. A delay of two min
utes beyond that time gives the bal
to the field, which may then place the
ball on the 3O-yard line of the offend
ing eleven.
Another rule adopted provides tina
all forfeited games hereafter are u
score as one to nothing.
The committee passed rule that al
penalties, except in the case of mai
. disqualified, may be declined by the OF
Tending side.
In the future the field judge will &C
as timer instead of the linesman.

BORAx IN THE DAIRY
Matter of Profitable Interest to the
Farmer and Dairyman


The problem of keeping sweet all the
Utensils used in connection with milk
and cream selling, and butter making,
as been a serious one with the farmer
He has come to realize fully that the
slightest faint or hint of staleness left
in a can, tin or churn may ruin a
whole output that the faint which is
left is in the form of bacteria which
grow and multiply in milk or butter,
producing disastrous results.
The farmer has learned that hot wa
ter won't rinse away the greasy resi-
due in dairy utensils.
He has learned that soap leaves a
residue of it's own which is, if any
thing, worse than the milk or cream
residue, and it is little wonder that
there has been a constant clamor for
a dairy cleanser and sweetener that
will meet modern requirements.
A few OF the largest creamery es-
Establishments have called experts into
consultation on this problem and have
with this scientific aid hit upon a pro.
duct of nature which exactly fills the
bill-borax.
Scientists have long know borax as
a cleanser, a sweetener and an anti
septic destroyer of bacteria and germ
growths. Destroys all that is harmful
and promotes and preserves freshness
sweetness and purity, relieving the
dairyman and dairy housewife o
drudgery and of needless work ant
worry.
Its cheapness and value should Civ
it first place in the necessities of ever.

Under the Care of the Govern

Washington, Feb. 1S.-At one stroke
of the lieutenant governors pen, $780,
100000 acres of forest land in British
Columbia have been placed in reserves.
This includes every acre of the prov
inces timber lands, except what has
been leased. This is as much land as
was put in the national forests of this
country between the years 1891 and
1907. The action was taken to check
wasteful exploitation of timber re
sources and to bring the care and cut
ting of timber more effectually under
government control.

There was room at the house en-
trance for only one carriage at time
and because of the blockade impatient
feminine guests braved the storm and
dragged their silks, satins and chiffons
through the binding rain. This exhibit
ton of discounted society was
source of great amusement to curiosity
seekers, who howled with amusement
; when handsomely gowned guests with
skirts tucked under their arms braved
( the storm for a most embarrassing
r walk. Many a carefully polished high
: hat was blown into the middle of the
r muddy street and many an umbrella
carried by a footman over aggravated
mistresses went inside out. AS a re-
suit of the delay in the carriage line
fully half the guests failed to see the
l. ceremony, among them being Mrs.
James b. Haggin and Mrs. Stuyvesant
Fish.

H~iI ar1. OF and
a. the Prince Andre Galitzin, the dukes

CORPORATE EVILS.
LECTURERS THEME
Initiative and Referendum
Only Way to Curb Fran
chise Grabbing.
Partisanship in Municipal
Politics Among Causes
of Corruption.

The initiative aud referendum was ad-
vanccd as the only remedy to curb
corporate greed ana corrupt politicians
in a lecture delivered al the Young
Mems Christian Association Building
last night by Delos +. Wilcox chief
of the franchise bureau % the Public
Service Commission Of New York. Mr.
Wilcox is also secretary of the Detroit
Municipal League and mas been active
in civic matters IN various cities for
twelve years.
Mr.. Wilcox's lecture, under the rather
misleading title of "Flies and the Sugar
JAR" was an analysis Of the cGuses Of
corruption In municipal. State and ma
tional politics. The application Of the
tile was seen when he compared poll
ticians and corporations WHO are feed
ing upon the public treasures 10 the
flies that annoy and also spread disease
BY doing these things.
The individualism Of the voter he
ascribed as one source Of public cor
ruption. ."The voter must learn TO vote
against his own int srests, II need be,
for the public good Another source Is
the extreme partisanshlp Of the voter.
In nearly all cities the interference OF
the national with city politics mas
grown 20 be a source OF corruption.
The two great parties are mainly COM
posed Of OF controlled hy office seekers
"It is well 70 watch the attitude OF the
CORPORATE Ons on the parusanship ques-
ton. The liquor interests, the gas inter
ests, the railroads and other public serV-
ice corporations are not partisans. They
vote with the party that is with them.
They are absolutely nOn-parus3n when
their interests are concerned ana set
an example to the citizen VINO should
care for his own in the same way.
Many aldermen serve. said MI VIII
cox. only for the power that II gives
them TO give or deny such requests ana
municipal corruption results.
The monopoly OF public lands he gave
as a final breeding place for human
political lies. The city Of New York.

city sold of bit by bit TO private con-
