either half or quarter, and Foster and
Jones may be assigned to two of the
three remaining back positions Who
the fourth man may be, is problem
for Wurl to solve. If Campbell gocs

play half back position. and if Camp

nothing else to do but put green

cruits develops into a fast player, the

Quincy.


Although foot bail practice in Quincy
was begun fully week earlier this
year than any time in several years.
II has not made for an earlier opening
OF the local foot ball season. Often
the first practice games are played on
the third Saturday in September. and
the first scheduled games with teams
from outside schools, on the fourth
Saturday of the same month.
The Quincy High school eleven win
play its first scheduled contest with
the Keokuk High school at Keokuk on
October 9th. The season in Quincy
will not open until October 18th, when
the High school eleven will line up
against the Carthage High school
team at Baldwin park. 1t is impossible
to arrange for games here next Satur-
day, as the Quincy Fair wiH be in pro-
gress at Baldwin park. and there will
be races on the track that afternoon.
The High school squad was out last
week for some stiff practice The boys
have been skirmishing on the vacant
lot at Twelfth and Maine streets, but
as soon as the fair is over, they will
practice only at Baldwin The squad
is not large, consisting Of no more
than fifteen or sixteen men. But the
material is very promising, and there
is bright prospect of speedy
strong team. OF last years regulars
there are but six trying for the team
this year. They are Lynch, center

Jones, full back, and Campbell, hal

Fort Madison.

Not much is known of what Is going
on at Fort Madison and it IS thought
that they wish to withhold all knowl-
edge of their strength or weakness
whichever is the case. However,
there Is no reason to believe that they
will have a weak team as several old
stars are back who with the new ma
terials can help to make up fast
bunch. 1t is thought that Laird will
return to school and fill position in
the back field, while if Sallander can
get ND in his studies he will make a
valuable man in the back field or at
end, as he played star game last
year The quarter back position is
bound to bother the coach somewhat,
as with the graduation of Hamilton.

Burlington

Burlington, up to last year an easy
mark for Keokuk high school eieyens
seems to give promise of having a
sure enough team this year. They
have been practicing hard ever since
school opened and in a game with an
all star team of that city Saturday
won by the score of five to nothing
pulling off some dazzling forward
passes and onside kicks which com
pletely bewildered their opponents,
winning in spite of the fac, that their
aggressors were the heaviest. The
machine representing that school this
season will be light averaging about
100 pounds, but at that will probably
average well up with the local players
who are professor Elliott and Wilkin-
son who are capable of versing the
men in the fine points of the game.
Their schedule shows that nine games
will be played, five in Burlington and
four in foreign gridirons. the opening

ECZEMA DURABLE? PROVEN!
Attorney at Moline, H., Convinced by
 Oil of Wintergreen Compound.

There is nothing that will convince a lawyer except evidence.
 Now, here is some rather startling evidence of a simple home cure for eczema which convinced one lawyer, F. c. Entriken, attorney at Moline, H. He tells how oil of wintergreen compound mixed with thymol and glycerine, as in D. D. D. Prescription, cured him in thirty days after thirty two years of suffering.
 For 32 years,' writes Attorney En- triken, T was troubled with eczema, scabs all over my face, body and head I could run hair brush over my body and the floor would be cov- cred with scales enough to fill a basket. I tried everything-salves, in ternal medicine, X-Ray-all without result
 Just month ago I was induced to try D. D. D. Prescription. The itch was relieved instantly; so I continued. It is just a month now and I am com pletely cured. l have not particle of itch and the scales have dropped offg
 T can only say again CURE DIS COVERED. I am now starting all eczema sufferers on the right track"
 Cure after cure has been brought to our attention and always that in stant relief from the awful itch. FL vey & Hulett, druggists.
