CHANCES In Basketball Rules.

The committee of six appointed to
tinker the basketball rules has finished
its work. Under the new rules the
umpire is supposed to watch the other
eight men. while the referee sees that
the two men fighting over the ball do
not commit foul.
The dribbling rule is so changed that
a player who is dribbling the ball and
stops must throw to some other player
or try for goal. If he wishes to con-
tinue dribbling the ball after the pause
he must keep the ball bouncing up and
down.
A third player may reach under two
contesting for the ball and take it
away without committing a foul. pro-
vided he does not touch either of the
players trying to get the ball.
Other changes are as follows: The
player who touches the side lines is
outside; glass backgrounds for the
baskets are legaliZed; the score keep
ers must compare their scores after
each basket

Jealous of His Title.

The following letter has been sent
out in circular form by an English
baronet who feels it incongruous that
he should be addressed in the same
way as the unanointed:
There is a strong feeling among
baronets that the expression Dear Sir
being constantly used in commencing
a letter nowadays to their servants is
therefore not only incongruous, but
also discourteous when applied to
members of this ancient and heredita-
ry degree. l will therefore ask you in
future to kindly accord me my title
and commence your letters to me Sir
Baronet' instead Of Dear Sir"

The Stomach Cannot Rest.

1t is mistake TO suppose the stomach
can rest and thus recnperate and by this
means dyspepsia is cured. The digestive
process beginssin the mouth and does not
end until the food has reached the in
testines. The salivary glands in the
mouth, the stomach. lower stomach liver,
spleen, etc, take part in the digestive
process. This process is going on con-
tinously.. Think Of resting the heart OF
the lungs for a few minutes, or any other
organ. Pepsin paucreatin, etc. do not
rest the stomach, they digest the residue
of food weak digestive system cannot
digest and thus relieve the body of irri.
tating acids or gas. Rydale's Stomach
Tablets contain just enough Pepsin, and
Pancreatin to do this. They also con.
tain many vegetable tonics and stimulants
for the digestive tract. Rydale'sStomach
Tablets cure dyspepsia the only way it
can he cured. Ask US about them. Eli
