Association Yesterday--Ail tho
Members Had Sugges-

New York, Dec. 2S.-After three
hours Of acrimonious discussion the
intercollegiate Athletic Association
adopted and submitted to its rules
committee tonight the following reso-
luton:
That the football rules committee
of this association be instructed to use
levery possible endeayor to bring
about such a modification Of the rules
| as In their Judgment shall tend to re-
duce to minimum the danger of
physical injury to the players and at
the same time retain as far as pos
isible the most desirable and whole
some features OF the game"
Only three negative votes were
Registered against the resolution, but
NEARLY every college in the west had
|something to say concerning It.

lofficials of football game, including
lumpires and referees, and all other
participants, from talking to news

SPEED LAWS OF 1915.
Coaches Going Nine Miles an Hour
Frightened the English.

Frightened the English.
The outcry daily growing louder In
England against the excessive speed Of
motor cars lends interest to the fol-
lowing passage from the Annual Regis
ter for 1916:
A new coach was started in the
spring to run to Brighton, a distance
of fifty-two miles, in six hours. =
This, however, became alarming, par
ticularly in the populous neighborhood
of Newington, through which it passed,
and the parish officers there caused in
formation to be laid against the driv-
ers for driving furiously on the pubic
road so as to endanger the lives of his
majesty's subjects.
The result of this is to be read In
Mansards parliamentary Reports
June 10, 1916
The Attorney General moved fol
leave to bring in a bill the object OF
which was the protection of the live'
and limbs of his majesty's subjects by
correcting the enormous abuses oI
stage coach drivers. Within these few
days it would be hardly credible what
number of applications he had re
ceived on this subject.

Lame Back Prescription.

The increased use of whiskey for
iame back rheumatism is causing con-
siderable discussion among the medical
fraternity. 1t is an almost infallible
cure when mixed with certain other
ingredients and taken properly. The

pne half pint of good whiskey add one
ounce of Toris Compound and one ounce
Syrup Sarsaparilla Compound. Take
In tablespoonful doses before each meal
and before retiring" Toris compound
