DIES MONIES APPROVES
OF C0RNHUSKERS' STAND
Capital Praises Attitude of University
of Nebraska in Missouri
Valley Conference.

The Des Moines Capital losses a nice
bouquet in the direction OF the University
Of Nebraska by giving the Cornhusker in
stitution credit for beng the leading school
OF the Missouri valley conference and de-
claring it has manifested the proper spirit
regarding athletics In this section. The
Capital sporting editor praises the Corn
huskers in scheduling games with Ames
Missouri and Kansas and says that the
conference does not seem in a way Of
going to pieces. as some Iowa city scribes
would have the world think. The Des
Moines paper Is OF the opinion that the
conference will grow stronger II Iowa with
draws its membership.
The Capital says:
An item OF encouragement to followers of
the Missouri valley conference follows on
the heels 1f the announced intention OF
Iowa to withdraw from that body and Join
the big Eight in the signing OF a two
year foot ball contract between Nebraska
and Missouri. Nebraska is undoubtedly the
strongest school athleticaily in the Missouri
valley and as such Is In a better position
any other school In the Missouri valley at
present. Yet we find Nebraska signing
games with Kansas and Ames and now
Missouri In addition Il has the regular
Minnesota game, which is a big card on its
schedule. and win probably play Michigan
as well. All honor Is due Nebraska for It's
action in sticking so Loyalty 10 the Missouri
valley conference. 1t was much grieved
which the summer base ball rule was not
passed. Since then IL has abolished base
ball as a college sport as was expected.
Yet II does not threaten TO withdraw from
the conference but instead strengthens the
bonds by signing up for two years with
Missouri.

.ATARRH


Catarrh Is a deep-seated blood dis
ease, one which no amount of local
treatment will ever permanently cure.
The beneficial effects Of washes,
sprays, inhalations, ETC., are only
temporary and when left of the old
condition returns, because the blood
is infected with catarrhal matter and
impurities. This impure condition
of the circulation irritates and in
flames the delicate mucous men,

noises in the head and ears, mucus in
the throat, headaches, wateTy eyes,
partial deafness, sore throat, general
impairment of health, etc. This con-
