Foot Ball Reform.
From the Baltimore Sun.

From the BaItlnlOre SUI.
The death yesterday of Eugene A.
Byrne a cadet at the West Point Mill
tary Academy. from injuries received
Saturday in the foot bail contest between
Harvard and West Point will direct pub
lie attention anew to the ACCESSIBILITY of
modifying the conditions under which this
popular game is now played. About two
weeks ago a cadet at the Naval Academy
was injured, much in the same way as
young Byrne was. and since then has
been in a precarious condition. The foot
ball season of 1909 is as yet i'm its early
stages and will not reach it's climax until
the Thanksgiving day games. With four
weeks of play before the season closes
the sturdy young men who give admit
rable exhibitions of pluck and tenacity on
the gridiron will face the usual risk of
broken limbs and. perhaps, more serious
injuries 1t is to be hoped that the pres
ent season will end without further mis-
hapS of a grave nature.

FOR BEGINNERS WITH DEls.
Little Expense for the Farmer % Keep
Few.

At very little expense. particularly
when compared to the profit. few
colonies of bees can be kept on nearly
any farm. Nature showers her sweets
freely and they can easily be gathered
by the industrious bees and converted
into pure honey. In bee raising. an IN
everything else, attention must be paid
to the business. BY caring properly
for the bees and using only approved
methods the supply Of honey can be
greatly increased and the quality can
be improved 30 that high price may
be obtained for the honey. Where
the household duties do not tell too
heavily on the women folks the work
of bee raising may be turned over TO
them. They are better adapted to the
work than the average man, and be-
sides-they need the money, An ex-
periencsd bee raiser suggests that b.

the bee business for the following ex.

THE DOCTORS QUESTION


A Doctors first question when con-
suited by patient is, 'are your bowels
regular" He knows that ninety-eigh
per cent OF illness is attended with i'm
active bowels and torpid liver. This
condition poisons the system with nox-
ious gases and waste matter which
naturally accumulates and which must
be removed through the bowels before
health can be restored.
Salts, ordinary pills and cathartics
may be truly likened to dynamite.
Through their harsh, irritating action
they force passage through the bowels,
causing pain and damage TO the delicate
intestinal structure which weakens the
whole system and at best only produces
temporary relief. The repeated use of
such treatments cause chronic irritation
OF the stomach and bowels, hardens
their tissues, deadens their nerves, stiff
ems their muscles and generally brings
about an injurious habit which some
times has fatal results.
We have positive, pleasant and safe
