Members Of Cadets Band To
Contest on Field
By WILL SCARLET

''You chaps will have to go some If
you want to beat the band" Such is
the refrain that the members of the
First Regiment band, League of the
Cross cadets, warble these days when
they meet representatives of Com
panies A, B, I and n. For. be it known,
the musicians have entered for the big
meet the cadets are to hold in st.
Mary's college stadium this afternoon,
and intend to give a practical demon
stration to the effect that they run as
well as they play.
Over in Oakland, where the meet is
to be held, two members of Company N
have been training vigorously to beat
the band. Both are capable of going
some, too. Joe Ferguson is a sprinter
of local celebrity. who may be relied
upon to give good account of himself
this afternoon. With him Is Edward
Martin, from whom the members Of
Company n expect great things. Young
Martin has been in the track game for
several years. On several occasions he
has appeared with the st. Mary's col
lege track squad and was among the
distance men who succeeded in defeat
ing Santa Clara last May.
The musicians have several strong
men of their own, however. notably
Leo Meyer, the popular captain of the
track team hailing from the Lowell
high school. The members of the band
who do not run this afternoon will
occupy a corner of the bleachers and
blare forth sounds calculated to cheer
the musically inclined athletes and
strike terror into the hearts of the
regular members of the cadets.
Meanwhile the members of Companies
"A. B and L of San Francisco are not
going 10 let either the musicians or the
Oaklanders have things all their own
way The city companies have some
| sprinters of reputation in their ranks,
and those sprinters are going to be at
/ their best this afternoon.
The cadets wish to extend a hearty
invitation to all their friends to be
present at the meet of today. In par

which the cadets are to hold competi-
boys Of the s cathoiic f sehoos ahS atSletie the
| league. The parochial school young
sters this afternoon will have an oppor-
tunity of learning few of the tricks
own meet of October 10.
The management of the League of
the Cross meet has been in the hands
with the result that this afternoon
events viii go off without hitch. The
officials have been carefully selected
and include prominent members of the
Pacific athletic association and distin-
! guished track and field men of st.
Mary's college.
The meet is, scheduled for 2 o'clock
| The stadium at st. Mary's college is in
good condition and will afford the ca
dets the best possible opportunity to
manifest their prowess in track events
This Will be the first meet held in the
stadium since the beginning of the
summer vacation.
Should the meet of today receive the
encouragement IT deserves, the cadets
will probably make it the first of q
series of annual athletic carnivals in
which the members of the various COM
panies will compete.

SaIubrin Cures
Coughs and Colds
Eminent Swedish Authority, Henrik
Berg, M. D., Praises Salubrin in
His Modern Treatment of
COnSumption,"

The great Swedish anti-toxin, Salu-
brin. which is now exciting such wide
spread interest in scientific circles in
this country, is endorsed by the highest
medical authorities of Sweden as we'll
as the government.
Indeed. such remarkable results have
great physicians achieved from its use
that Henrik Berg, NJ. D. refers to it
time and again In his famous book.
Modern Treatment of Consumption
One quotation will he sufficient to show
DIR. Berg's opinion of Salubrin. He
says: "Salubrin is Il remedy of tran
scendent Importance because 1t is an
efficient antiseptic without being pois-
onous and further because il possesses
in a remarkable degree the power of
dispensing swellings and penetrating to
the very seat Of disease"
High praise this. especially when one
considers how disinclined physicians
are to endorse any preparation which
is intended for general family use.
But Salubrn effects are so positive in
the treatment of coughs, colds and lung
troubles that ii has won its way by
sheer force of merit over all prejudice.
BY royal decree the government of
Sweden not only officially sanctioned
the sale of DIR. Bakansson's discovery.
but took off all Ia XOn its manufacture
that II might be used universally
y branch of the Salubrin laboratory
has now been established in this couu-
try and Salubrin may now be obtained
from all first class druggists for soc a
bottle special toilet Salubrin is also
sold for 75c a bottle AS tooth and
mouth wash. as well as skin cleaner
and beautifer Toilet Salubrin is achiev-
ing great success Don't neglect the
cough or cold which may lead to the
grave. Avoid all danger by using Salu-
brin.
