CUTS MICHIGAN OFF.
Chicago Makes No Effort to Secure
Game for Next Year.

Chicago, Dec. 2.-University of Chi
cago alumni yesterday lined up with
the Maroon faculty in dampening any
efforts to offer athletic concessions to
Michigan in order to secure its return
to the conference. The graduates
have decided to drop all agitation for
the present, owing to the decisive
stand of the professors, and no at
tempt will be made to secure Mich
igan-Chicago battle for next fall. it
was announced.
William Scott Bond, Chicago repre-
sentative on the conference managing
committee and for years a leader in
the alumni athletic councils said he
agreed thoroughly with the new facul-
ty stand against any changes in the
conference rules or giving Michigan
compromise on the training table
subject. That the training table ques-
ton can not be smoothed over unless
the big eight adopts new rules. was
given as the alumni point Of view.

Low to Mp a Cold or
Cough In the Bud

To let cold or cough wear Itself
out" is both needless and dangerous. If
you will take five minutes and make
up the simple remedy described below.
you can wipe out a cold Or cough as
soon as 1t appears. Even deep-seated
coughs yield to it very quickly. A whole
pint of it costs only "a cents. but there
is no better remedy at any price.
Take pint of Granulated Sugar, add
4 pint of warm water and stir for 2
minutes. Put 211 ouces of Piiiex In a
pint bottle and fill UP with the Sugar
Syrup This keeps perfectly and lasts
family a long time. Take a teaspoon
full every one. two or three hours. The
taste is pleasing.
Use the ingredients as given here.
Granulated sugar makes the hest
syrup. None of the weaker pine prcpa-
rations Will take the place Of the real
Pinex itself. which Is the most valuable
concentrated compound of Norway
White Pine Extract. Your druggist has
1t or can easily order it for you.
THIS mixture is also exceIlen. fur
whooping cough, bronchitis, chest
pains. etc
Strained honey can be used instead OF
the syrup, and makes a very fine honey
and pine tar cough syrup

cause it is the easiest thing to do, you
weaken your ability to firmly decide
in some larger matter to do the best

Il guess I'll be a teacher 1 heard

particularly care about teaching I'd
much prefer private secretary work,
but that would mean that I'd have
TO take up stenography. I'd have to
put in four or five months at 1t, any
way, and I don't know what system to
take or what school to go to and
father doesn't exactly like the idea.
It would be much simpler for me to
teach just as the other girls are going
to, and I dare say shall like it well
enough when I get started
Today she is a poor school teacher.
She might have been-indeed. from

sure she would have been-a good
private secretary
But she chose to follow the line of
least resistance.
Many people follow the line of least
resistance in friendship-get what
satisfaction they can from the people
with whom they chance to be thrown
the most instead of hardly fostering,
despite inconvenience and distance.

few in whom they have found real
congeniality.
In the same way, I think, many
people follow the line Oh IedSl IeSlSt-

who, to a certain degree, can't help it.,
but also men, who can.
It may not always be wrong to fol-
low the line of least resistance, be-
cause it may not always mean harm

But it is always foolish. because it
does always mean deprivirG yourself
of some ultimate happiness that you
might have had.
And, on second thought. since it is
the duty of all of us to get as much
happiness out of life as is compatible
with our duty to others, I guess. after
all, 1t is wicked.

DOCTOR
Says the New Method Increases
the Bust Measurement and
Rounds the Arms and Neck.
(BY CLARA BELLE MI
(From Chicago Examiner

(From Chicago Examiner)
Speaking from my own personal
experience and from observation of
many whom I have successfully
treated in the past two years, I
should say that Madame Moneaux
really owed her great success as a
beauty specialist to the use of a
simple preparation which is used
exclusively to develop the bust,
arms and neck. I became ac-
quainted with this formula and
have used it ever since, much to
the delight of patrons.
IF your bust lacks development
or firmness you can rely on both
increase and firmness from the
persistent use of the following:
Obtain from the. druggist two
ounces of glycerine and one ounce
tincture cadomene compound mot
cardamom), mix and let stand sew
eral hours; then add teaspoonful
of the boraX and three ounces of
rosewater. Shake well and apply
to the neck, arms and bust, rub
bling and maSsaging until it is COM
pletely absorbed; then wash the
parts treated with very hot water
and soap and dry thoroughly. APP
ply the treatment morning and
night regularly for several weeks
or months as the case may require
and the most exquisite firmness
and rounding out of hollow places
will reward you

of the entire acreage. All Of the rest
holds forth brilliant promise Of yield
ing golden returns to the hard work
ing husbandman when the happy har-
vest days are over.
While there are many estimates as
to the probable size of the wheat crop,
1t is held by those who are best in a
position to judge that the output will
not fall short OF three million bushels.
When this is added to one of the
largest yields of oats and barley ever
harvested in this county, the greatest
crop Of hay ever piled up in the In,
land Empire and all sorts Of garden
products in heaped up quantities, it
may be seen that the year has every
promise Of being, by long odds, the
best ever experienced by the farmers
of Fergus county.
