SHOULD KICK BALL.
Archbishop Advises New Practice sor
 FootbaIlsts.

Philadelphia. Nov 3.--''Football as played at present by the college teams Of this country is bagbarous and ought to be abolished" said Archbishop Ry- an of this city today. Instead they should play association football, as it is called nowadays. If is the kind we played when l was at college, where the players kick the ball and not each other"
 Archbishop Ryan's comment was brought out by the death of Michael Burke, a student at the Medico-Chir- surgical College, who received fatal injuries in a game last Saturday.
 Burke. whose homo was in Shen- andoah, was a member of the aCthe sidal while attending college here, and was personally known to the arch bishop. Burkes funeral, which will be attended by number of medico- chirurgioal students, will be held to- morrow at Shenandoah.

PEARY GETS
 GOLD MEDAL NATIONAL BIOGRAPHICAL socL gTY RECOGNIZES PEARy AS F
 olscovERER OF POLE. 1
Will Take Active Steps In Looking Up Cooks Claims That He Dis
 covered the Pole Be-
 fore Peary.

Washington, Nov. 3.-Commander Robert E. Peary was today voted q gold medal by the National Geogra- phic Society for having reached the north pole.
 The board of managers of the su- ciety at a meeting today accepted unanimously the report of it's subcodr mittee of scientists. who had exan,n- ed the explorers records and found them to be corroborative of his claim that he had reached the pole.
 The society adopted resolution that the question of whether or not any explorer reached the north pole prior to 1909, shall be referred to q subcommittee of experts with author lty to send for papers or make such journeys as may be necessary to in- spect original records.
 Of far reaching importance is the societyAs action in deciding to follow up vigorously the question of priority in the discovery of the north pole. The scientists will spare no expense in or der that they may be convinced on this point Dr. Cook will be advised immediately of the society's action. | Present at the meeting of the board of managers were fifteen men, all of whom are prominent in the scientific world After the report of the sub committee was submitted there was a debate lasting more than two hours. but finally the beard voted unanimous ly to accept the report of the three experts, who believed without any question of doubt that Commander Peary reached the north pole April 6, 1909
 In addition to awarding Commander Peary special gold medal. as toS- en of the highest honor the society can bestow upon hsm. it was also de- cided that gold medal be given to Cpatain R. M Bartlett, who was de- clared by tlre society to have display ed "able seamanship. partinacious ef- fort and able management" during the Pear yArctic expedition.

bile was lined on one side by veter- ans of the Confederate army and on the other by men of the Grand Army of the Republic As he passed the avenue, formed by vne grizzled old soldiers. Mr Taft stopped and shook hands alternately with each one.
 As he shook hands with one of the Confederates. the old fellow said:
 ''Mr. President, you have captured the secessionists, the Ku Klux and the cranky Democrats, all of them.
 Well. that's a whole lot" smilingly replied the president.
 Governor Conner CT Alabama, who favors the proposal to put statewide prohibition in the constitution, came in for lot of good natured "chaff' at the "cold water banquet rendered the president last night The gover. nor said that Birmingham usually got from her visitors anything they had that Birmingham wanted.
 He said the president might leave several choice federal positions here; that he might fill the vacancy on the supreme court bench from the Bir- mingham bar
 And we understand you want a minister to China he continued, MT President, you might give that to me"
 At this the banquet hall fairly shook with cheers and laughter that continued for five or six minutes. President Taft in his speech said he never had heard such appreciation of suggestion for public office before.

word in America which could compare with the misery of impoverished peas ants of Italy or Egypt.
 Tn April. 1905, had the good for. tune to be at Boston, Mass, during an epidemic of cerebro spinal meningitis and the very first patient whom saw at the city hospital, by the courtesy of Dr. c. F. Wilmington, was an Ital- ian emigrant, who also displayed a well marked pellagrous eruption. This leads one to wonder whether the Unit ed States Public Health and Marine Hospital Service officers who examine emigrants at Naples and other Ital- ian ports should not include pellagra among the prohibitory diseases.
 Now that the diagnosis of pellagra has been firmly established in so many states, it would be well to find out for certain how many persons are at tackled by the disease in the south. In order to arrive at any correct fig ures 1t might be well to institute compulsory notification of the disease at least as a temporary measure. Tn Italy there has been a law to that ef- feet since 1888. would also recom- mend that agricultural laborers be examined in the states where pella- gra is known to be prevalent, such as Georgia and North and South Caro- lima. This might be done in February or March when the eruption is likely to be present.
 Tn 1901 and 1902 I obtained per mission to examine 800 Egyptian peas ants who were actually at work in the fields. They all stoutly denied that they were i'll and their employers. who were with them, stated they could all do a fair days work, but in every field I found cases pellagra, bearing from Is per cent in well to do dis tricts to 25 per cent in the inhabitants of the poorest hamlets.
 "'rhe treatment of early pellagra cases without mental symptoms can be successfully accomplished by put ting the patient on liberal diet, ex- cludlng maize and by ridding him of tho bocly ysUor,oS ,,,hio1, ,,.x s.,o ,f+o., ~, existent. but the pellag7ous symptoms return If he Is allowed to resume a diet Of rusty maize. Various prepara- lions of arsenic are used in advanced cases. but when the brain is attacked there is small hope for the patient, unless by serotherapy. Pellagra is es- sentially a disease which cries for preventative measures.
 Italy. by preventive measures, has since 1888 reduced the mortality of pellagra from 3.4S3 to 1885, though during the years 1889 to 1907 the maize area under cultivation has in- creased from 5.79 to 6.33 per cent of the whole country. This points to the moral that 1t is the quality, not the quantity of maize which is at fault There are certain general ax- ioms which prove true in Italy and Egypt and it will doubtless be found that they hold good in the United States also:
 "1-In districts where no maize is cultivated or habitually eaten pellagra does not exist
 "2-There are many districts where maize has been cultivated for many years and yet pellagra has not appeared.
 "S-Well to do people in pellagra districts. living on varied diet and consuming maize as an occasional and not as staple cereal usually escape pellagra
 "4-It is not good maize which pro- duces pellagra. The disease requires for it's production a habitual use of damaged maize in some form.'

Every Lltt.e Helps.


 Every little helps," remarked one man, as he deposited his ballot in the voting box yesterday for his favorite in the jTnur-to4Europe contest. and thus placed the contestant of his choice so many points nearer a suc- cessful outcome of her campaign for membership in the European tour.
 While 1t Is, of course. too early to tell who the winners of the tours will be at the finish, 1t may be said they will be the ones For whom their friends and acuaintances vote not net only early. but often. rather than semi occasionally or less often. 1t is by one vte upon another the largest totals are attained
 It should be borne in mind by every one that the time of the contest has been divided into periods and that. according to the schedule, more votes are given during the first period than during any following periods. The first period ends Saturday November 13. at 8 D. m.. and everyone is urged to rush in every subscription that can possibly be secured. while subscrbp- tions have the greatest voting value.
 One of the features of the contest which has made it especially attract i've 10 the contestants is the extreme shortness of tho time is covers The contest is only six weeks contest and only five and one-haf of the weeks remain. It is seldom that contest as elaborate as that of the Sentinel-Record isi made to cover sro short a time.
 Trim Your Coupons.
 Those who are casting the coupons in the contest are urged to see that these coupons are carefully trimmed around the border, are not mutiliated, are deposited unfolded, that every bunch is deposited in an envelope or secured With string or an elastic band The contest department cannot trim coupons, and those who deposit them untrimmed might as well throw away themselves and thus save us the trouble.

and was waiting for her 10 come to him after his subscription, but she had not put in an appearance and that he thought he would transfer his support to a quarter where 1t would be more appreciated Now, if that young lady knew what a power that man is in this community and what assistance he would have given her if she had tried to help herself, she certainly would have done something to show to him and her friends that she wanted to take the trip to Europe as one of the sentineLRecord's guests, and that she was willing to work 10 win the honor accorded to her district.

STRAHORN'S ROAD SECURES
ENTRY TO CITY OF SPOKANE

Spokane, Wash, Sept. 27.-After
poking at Spokane from all sides to
find an inlet and outlet for a year, the
North Coast, the mysterious Mr.. Stra-
horns toy, has at last been success
full. That the mysterious road will en-.
ter Spokane on nearly perfect grade
to Howard street and Front avenue,
the passenger depot site, and continue
it's course northeast over the Spokane
International line out of Spokane, is
indicated by surveys quietly carried
on by Chief Engineer Pitman and his
corps.
Instead of entering the city under
meath the Monroe street bridge, on a
grade 80 feet below the street level at
Howard and Front, the North Coast
is to cross the Monroe street bridge
north of the river between the Great
Northern right of way and the river,
passing southeast across the river at
Post street and continuing east along
Front to Howard street.
Once in the city, it is to leave the
terminal at Howard street and Front
avenue in a northeasterly direction un-
til the Spokane International main line
is reached, over which line the North
Coast will continue out of Spokane.
