Got No Relief From Amy Treatment
Until at Last He Went TO These
Great Specialists.

Probably more lives are ruined and
made miserable byacataIrh than any other
one disease in this climate. And the fact
that catarrh often runs into consumption
only makes the disease more terrible.
Then, too, the ordinary doctors appear to
be utterly powsrIess to check the disease.
The United doctors. who have their
Omaha Instftnte on the second floor OF
the Neville block, corner Sixteenth and
Harvey streets, have been especially sue
cessful In treating catarrh. Their method
of treating the entire system and roofing
out all the germs IS q great advance over
the old methods OF local treatment.
a sample of the many letters received
daily from cured patiel.s by these master
specialists, is as Follows:

KANSAS COACHES FEELING WELL
Back Field Only Portion tina Causes
Any Worry.

LAWRENCE, KAN, Oct. l2.-(Special.)-
The Kansas coaches are falrly wei salts
lied with the result OF the hansas-Okla-
noma game on SATURDAY. The reason for
TINS Satisfaction is mat Kansas was not
forced 10 use a single one OF the trick
plays that the coaches have been figuring
out. EX-Captain Harvey OF Nebraska, who
was an Interested spectator at the con-
test, saw nothing but straight foot ball
ana he has no more idea as TO what style
OF play the JayhaWkers intend to fol-
low this fall than II he had remained In
Lincoln. TIL one great aim OF the coaches
this year is to keep everything secret until
the Kansas and Nebraska teams oppose
each other in Lincoln on November 6.
the coaches We're not satisfied in all
respects saturday. TIL shift in the back
tieiu did not work very well. Captain
Pleasant Is a good end. but has not yet
shown much ability as a half back. The
bulk OF the work in the next three weeks
viii be put In developing a back field. Dab
lene and Stephenson make a sterling pair
OF fullbacks, Bond is as good a half as the
coaches wish for, and johnson is a star
quarter. The remainder OF the men are
good foot ball players, but not up to the
class of these four. Three more halfbacks
and a quarter must be developed before the
Nebraska game. The Kansas line has been
developing at a rapid rate. In the Okla
home game the big 2~0O-pounders were slow
In getting low and tackllng In the right
way, but when they got on to the ropes,
Oklahoma had to back up. Kansas Will
have the best line In years, II not In all
time when the team lines up in the heavy
games OF the schedule.
Kansas Is scheduled to play one OF the
hardest games of its schedule on next
saturday, when the JRyhawkers will meet
the Kansas Aggies on their own field at
Manhattan, Last Saturday the retuvenated
Missouri Tigers played a hard contest with
