Diet for Girl Athletes.

Students in Wellesley college who
go in for athletics next year must sub
NIT to severe dieting. This is a de-
parture for college girl athletics, for
hitherto not much attention has been
paid to the subject of eating. Agnes
Roche, newly elected president Of
Wellesley's Athletic association, and
Miss Romans, physical director Of the
college, have decided to lay out a
rigorous course of dieting for the
members of the crew, the basketball
and track teams. The members of
the team will be required to go to bed
at certain hour, take not more than
nine hours sleep and to eat the plain
est Of foods. Nuts and ice cream will
not longer be regarded as fruit and
will be tabooed from the table Of the
girl athletes. This advance in train
Ing will keep pace with other growth
in the athletic department Of the col
lege. There will be a baseball dia-
mond, a cricket field and perhaps a
football field. The hope is to encour.
age all these games among the stu.
dents.

AcU7ENEss OF CATTLE BUYER
Ne Can Estimate Number Of Head In

Also Detect Sickness.

Herders on Texas cattle ranches be
come so expert their scrutiny of cat,

glance at the herd as they ride past
Their passing estimate practically
never varies more than two or three

herds OF from 200 to 500 their esti-

ton OF accuracy.
In some cases this ability to esti-
mate Is carried to a higher degree of
accuracy even for very large herds. In
the early 70s, before the days of weigh.
Ing scales and railroads, cattle buyers
In the southwest would buy cattle at
SO much a hundredweight from their
owners. This estimate of weight was
based on what the cattle would weigh
after they had been driven 200, 800 or
400 miles to the Kansas City market,
Nevertheless, the error would only
amount to a few pounds, but enough
to affect their profits.
Charles Goodnight of Goodnight,
Tex, and owner of the famous buffalo
herd bearing his name, told some ex-
traordinary things about a negro he
knew. When the roundup time came
they would place this negro in an ad-
vantageous position and drive past him
the herds belonging to different men.
All these cattle except the calves had
their owners brands. Later, when
these calves, after having been mixed
up In the corral. were taken out to be
branded, he could tell which brand to
put on each from having noted at the
time to which COW each belonged.
This astonishing acuteness is even
more clearly demonstrated in their de-
lection of diseased or defective ami
mails in herds which they are inspect
Ing for purchase. In this discrimina-
ton they equally rely upon a rapid Wis
ual sweep Of the cattle while grazing,
the inspector merely riding through

Gems Found In Old Papsr.

Harvey Struble, employed In the
paper mills at Whippany, N. J., has
found the third diamond within the
last six months. A local jeweler said
1t was worth $50.
Struble handles the scrap that
comes into the plant to be made into
paper. One of the diamonds is worth
over 5000 and the other $3.50.
Coins frequently are found In the
scrap, and pennies are common. The
men put the small coins into a fund
to buy tobacco.
Some time ago the Salvation Army
sent a lot of paper to the mill which
had been donated to it in bulk. The
donor concluded that a package of un.
cut diamonds was in the lot, but thew

time he was operating IN the village
Of Marshall, Mich. He claims the dis
tinction of being one of the first, II
not the first, telegraph operator to
learn to read the Morse alphabet by
sound.
In a letter sent recently to a tele-
graphic journal he refutes the state
ment of Alonzo B. Cornell, who claims
to have been the first operator who
took telegraph messages by sound,
and gives the proof of his own claim
to the distinction. He writes:
81 notice in a recent number Of
your paper an interview with Alonzo
B. Cornell, wherein he claims to have
discovered. in the early f1fties, that
he could take press dispatches by
sound, and considers that he was the
first telegraph operator that made
this discovery.
"The interview does not state in
what year Of the early fifties that
this occurred. 1t may not be amiss
for me to state, however, as a matter
Of early Geographic history, that in
1848 took by sound the returns of
the election Of President Zachary
Taylor, in the village of Marshall,
Mich.
Il was then thirteen years of age
and was operating at that place I'M
der the management of Jabez Fox,
on the old Speed line, the first tele-
graph wire that was strung west of
Detroit to Chicago.
"Inasmuch as this antedates Mr..
Cornell's claim by at least two years.
we will need to go back to 1S4S to
find the first person who discovered
that the Morse alphabet could be
read by sound"

CAUSES 90 PER CENT
OF DISEASES.
Advice Concerning Stomach
Troubles and How to
Remedy Them.

Do not neglect Indigestion which
leads to all sorts of ills and compiled
tions. An eminent doctor once said
that ninety-five per cent of all the ills
of the human body have their origin in
dsordered stomach.
A physician who made specially of
stomach troubles, particularly dyspep-
STA, after years of study perfected
the formula from which Rexall Dys-
pepsia Tablets are made.
Our experience with Rexall Dyspep-
STA Tablets leads us to believe them to
be the greatest remedy known for the
relief of acute indigestion and chronic
dyspepsia. Theiringredients are sooth-
ing and healing to the jntamed mem
branes of the stomach. They are rich
in pepsin, one of the greatest digestive
aids known to medicine. The relief
they afford is almost immediate. Their
use with persstency and regularity for
short time brings about a cessation
of the pains caused by stomach DIS
orders.
Rexall Dyspepsia Tablets will insure
healthy appetite, aid digestion and pro
mote nutrition. AS evidence of our
sincere faith in Rexall Dyspepsia Tab
lets, we ask you to try them at our risk.
If they do not give you entire satisfac
ton, we will return you the money you
