LIMIT NOT RAISED
Three-E Eye League Directors
Slipped Cog in Salary
Legislation.
MEANT TO MAKE INCREASE
In Reality Set Figures Which Might
Mean Decrease in Salary Paid
Out by the Clubs.

The directors of the Three-Eye
league fooled themselves at their last
meeting in Chicago when they planned
to raise the salary limit of the league.
They adopted a measure which to
them appeared to effect the change
which they desired to make but which
nevertheless has really left the salary
limit about where it was This fact
was not discovered until the commit
tee which was appointed to look over
and revise the constitution went into
the new legislation a little more deep
ly than the directors had done at their
troubled session in Chicago.
The salary clause as approved by
the league provides for a salary limit
of each club of $4,000 per month and
this amount includes the salary of the
manager of the club. Last year the
salary limit was $1.750 per club exclu-
sive of the salary paid to the manager.
AS most of the managers draw from
5000 to $500 per month, it is easily
seen that the new limit is really very
small advance or In fact a decrease
over the old limit and that the aim of
the legislation is defeated
Amend Legislation.
The committee decided that the di-
rectors had misunderstood the word
ing of the clause at the time it was
passed and that they would consider
an amendment to it if one were pre-
scented so they drew up a resolution
recommending that the salary limit be
placed at $500 exclusive of the man.
ayers salary. This would be a raise
of $50 per month over last year.
It may be that the directors will
want to make even more of an advance
over last years limit. but at any rate
the submitting of the resolution by the
will bring the matter before
the league once more.

Chicago. Dec 16-That the Western
Golf association will not go to sleep
on the proposed expansion was made

numerous occasions been snubbed by
the United States Golf association,
which dictates affairs from New York,
and that in the past it has practically
been taxation without representation

NEEDFUL KNOWLEDGE.
Rock Island People Should Learn to
Detect the Approach of Kidney
Disease,

The symptoms of kidney trouble are
so unmistakable that they leave no
ground for doubt. Sick kidneys ex-
crete a thick, cloudy, offensive urine,
full of sediment, irregular of passage
or attended by a sensation of scald-
ing. The back aches constantly,
headaches and dizzy spells may oc-
cur and the victim is often weighed
down and by a feeling of languor
and fatigue. Neglect these warnings
and there is danger of dropsy
Bright's disease, or diabetes. Any
one of these symptoms is warning
enough to begin treating the kidneys
at once Delay often proves fatal.
You can use no better remedy than
Doan's Kidney Pills. Here's Rock
Island proof:
Miss A. Webb, 71S Fourth avenue,
Rock Island, ILL.,, says: when 1 saw
Doan's Kidney Pills advertised some
time ago, I procured a box at the
Harper House pharmacy. A member
of the family who had been complain
ing of backache and kidney complaint
used this remedy and was given
prompt relief. While never have
taken Doan's Kidney Pills, know
them to be an excellent kidney medi-
cine and one worthy of endorsement.
