Truth
and Quality

appeal to the Well-Informed in every
walk Of life and are essential to per
uanent success and creditable stand
ing. Accordingly, 1t is not claimed
that Syrup Of Figs and Elixir Of
Serna is the only remedy Of known
value, but one Of many reasons why
1t is the best OF personal and family
laxatives is the fact that 1t cleanses,
sweetens and relieves the internal
organs on which 1t acts without any
debilltating after effects and without
having to increase the quantity from
time to time.
1t acts pleasantly and naturally and
truly as laxative, and its component
parts are known to and approved by
physicians, as 1t is free from all
Objectionable substances. To get its
beneficial effects always purchase the
genuine-manufactured by the Cali
tornia Fig Syrup Co., only, and for
sale by all leading druggists.

what small lots of buestem wheat
they could secure and have been pay
ing in proportion to this for other
grades. At 81 a bushel the wheat
cannot be ground to sell export flour
at the present price, so an advance is
likely at the first sign of probable
business. Even $5 a barrel for pat
ents will not justify 81 bushel for
wheat, and as the wheat cannot be Sc

at even this price, the indications are
for an advance in patents to keep

port grade.

GEERS FIRST TO
Use BIKE SULKY

Ed Geers, the most famous driver in

about a mile walk from where / lived

CUBS MAKE COIN.
Murphy Has Become Rich on Earnings
Of Chicago Team.


Hugh Fullerton, who is travelling
with the Chicago White Sox says that
G. w. Murphy is the real owner OF the
Chicago Cubs and has made nearly
half million dollars since he got hold
of the worlds champions.
Murphy worked In the Cincinnati
drug store fifteen years ago for $14 a
week." says Fullerton. HE was al
ways a hustler, and got his first start
when he cleaned up $4,000 with SOU
venir programme he got out at the
time of the g. A. r. encampment in
Cincinnati Always ball fan, he saw
a chance to buy the Chicago Nationals
and. being well liked by Charles P.
Taft, he induced the latter to advance
$105.000. This sum, together with his
own little bank roll, Murphy paid for
the Cubs. and at the end of one year
he paid his debt TO Mr. Taft I'm full.
"But al that time Mr.. Taft made
Murphy agree to give Captain
Chance 10 per cent Of the clubs profits
each year Murphy has coined money
ever since and last year alone he

made was for the defending team to
kick out from it's own 25-yard line,
This gave the kicking team a poor
chance to work the ball out OF it's ter
ritory, for when the ball was kicked
1t generally was sent soaring through
the air from the 2O-yard mark, as the
opposing cented is allowed to block by
standing on the 25-yard mark.
In case of strong wind blowing
against the kicker he could not boot
the oval more than thirty yards, and as
the kick had to be low against the
wind, 1t gave the opposing player who
caught the ball an opportunity to run
1t back as least half of its distance.
which placed the offensive team in a
scoring position once more by the air.
line route. If the field goal scoring
process failed touchback resulted, and
the same process had to be gone
through again without giving the de-
Tending team q chance to advance the
ball.
Kickers Handicapped.
Another bad feature OF the old rule
was the kicking over the goal line line
on the kick-o off IL the toss is won in
stead of receiving the kick. This is
done so that the ball may be kicked
over the line and opponents forced to
kick out from the 25-yard line. After
all this has been done the team which
originally kicked off will obtain pos
session of the ball in their opponents
territory, while the other team has not
had chance to show its ground gain
ing abilities.
Apparently all this was taken into
consideration by the committee, for the
rule has been changed to read that
when touchback has been scored the
defending team will have the privilege
of kicking out from the 25-yard line of
putting the ball in play on the same
mark by scrimmage, the oval to be in
the possession of the defending team.
Field Goal Counts 8.
A most important change is that re-
garding scoring. For several seasons
the advisability of reducing the value
of field goal has been discussed, and
particularly the advisibility of reduc-
ing the value of kicked goal from
placement. This year the matter took
on form and the value OF a field goal
was reduced from four points to three
regardless or how the goal from the
field may be scored.
Minor Forward Pass Changes.
Minor alterations were made in the
, use of the forward pass. These were
made principally to help the officials
in determining the legality of plays in
which the forward pass was a predomi-
nant factor. The play was given a
lengthy discussion at the committee
meeting and 1t was decided to let the
rules governing 1t stand for another
year to give 1t thorough test. The
only modification in this play affects
thfe playing of the ends, who will be
compelled to stand either on the line
OF scrimmage or at least one yard back
OF 1t. When in the latter position the
ends are not eligible to receive the pass
but the shift makes the tackles eligible
to receive the throw. This change was
enacted so that the officials can readily
determine the players who are eligible
to receive the ball.
