time winning the game
The most sanguine rooter OF the
home team, too. thought the best the
locals could do would be to put up
strong fight against the Marylanders
to keep down the seore. But the game
had progressed but little before the
rooters were agreeably surprised at
the excellent showing being made by
Directors Meredith's anint. the team
work being executed quite often as
though they were veterans in the
game. AT the conclusion OF the first

hard and fast, and It was good thing
indeed for the home team especially,
as it kept them on their mettle the

SHERMAN ENROLLED AS

Beverly, Aug. 23.-Vice-President James $. Sherman may today add the title Member in Bad Club to that of his official rapk, as the result of the initotion last night at th- hands of the President of the United States into an organization which has almost as brilliant a future ahead of it as had the Ananias Club of the past administration. Personally and officially the next to the first citizen of the nation is in bad
 In view of the open repudlatIoc by the President of the tactics pur- sued by Sherman at the recent meet ing of the Republican State Commit the "Old Guard" in New York for their humiliation of Colonel Roose- welt, politicians today are freely pre- dieting that not only will SherWan step down from temporary chafPnan in New York but perhaps also from the Vice-Presidency.
 Just how Sherman can make peace and stand in the good gracee of the President after being publicly label led by him as a trickster and beday- CT of confidence, nobody cares to guess
 Friends of the Executive are jubi- larr today in the belief that the let ter written by President Taft to Lloyd Griscom, disavowing any plot against Roosevelt, will heal the breach between Oyster Bay and BeV- erly. Ae the same time RooSeveltian Tn admerers are pointing to the fact that the administration capitulated to the terms of peace offered by tn Colonel "a break with Sherman.
 Not only did the Vice-President de- liberate1y plot treachery as charged in the Taft letter, but imm ediately after receiving instructions from the President last Wednesday to sec Colonel RooSevelt and pave tke way for harmony after the Colonefs de

How to Regain Beauty of Forr

4AO" " 4SCS0lh IDC<euCy NA
 The vagaries of Fashion are great trial to ladies incliped to overstout- ness; but it is a great mistake to go in for physical repression in the shape of special stays. Fasting and violent exercising are also dangerous One very soon becomes limp, depressed and saliow of complexion when such methods of getting thin are adopted, There is absolutely no necessity to study dietetics or deprive ones self of wholeSome rest and bodily comforts.
 The following is prescription which will restore beauty of form without any sacrifice of health or strength Any druggist will make it up for you or supply the harmless in gradients, viz: "A oz. Marmola, z oz Fluid Extract Cascara Aromatic, and 3A OF. Peppermint Water. The dose is one teaspoonful after each meal and at bedtime.
 Don't be afraid of good appetite, especially as the digestive system will be much benefited by this simple treatment. Indeed, the whole body IS beautife and the redvctiop of weight occasions no wrinkles. The skin and complexion are rebeautifed.

1eat as temporary chairman, he pur- posely left the impression with the newsnapermen at the Taft cottage that he would not withdraw &S chair man and that there would be Re- publican platform without the quail Tying adjective progressive which Roosevelt stood for. He left a set tied impression that the President approved of what had happened and didn't care "a hang about Colonel Roosevelt. Publication of the Presi- dents letter showed that Sbeman n had just received instructions to steer exactly 0uch a course.
 Beverly is also wondering today how Vice-President Sherman will be able to stand by his denial at Utica yesterday made with reference to the charges of Assem- blyman Hart, that the Vice-Presfdent deliberately sup pressed a telegram from President Taft. A telegram is quoted by Mr. Taft in his letter to Griscom urging deference to the wishes of Colonel Roosevelt and suggesting confer erce hetween him, Sherman, Ward and Woodruff. Whether Sherman did not receive the message or re- ceiving it, djsregarded it's instructions since there vas no difference with Roosevelt and no deference to his views by Sherman, Ward or Wood ruff. Hart's charge Is apparently Substantiated.
