Insurgents Say Bourne is Loyal
 To La Fo.Ie.te
fspecia1 from United Press )

Special from United Press.)
 Washington, Nov. 15-Givinga the lie direct and charging that a campaign of misrepresentation has been started, the National Progressive Republican Campaign committee today issued the following signed statement:
 'In the issue of the Portland Ore date line, there appeared ans article under headlines as follows:
 ".Bourne Cast Out For Cause's Good'-.Medill Mccormick Administers Set Down'-'Distrusts Prompt Action Breach Likely to Widen The tody of the article is of like character. This article is a set of falsehoods from beginning to end. There is absolutely no basis of fact upon which it could be constructed. Senator Bourne's ad- vice and assistance have been sought by the undersigned and by others as- sociated with him in conducting the nominating of Senator LaFollette for President This assistance has been freely given, has been of exceptional benefit and is especially appreciated. It is wickedly false to say that there is a breach between either the Ma tional Progressive Republican League, of which Senator Bourne is president. and the LaFollette Campaign commit tee, or between Senator Bourne and anyaue connected wi-A the Lar ollette headquarters"
 The statement continues declaring that the article in question is both false and malicious and that neither Senator LaFollette nor his friends doubt the loyalty of Senator Bourne. The statement is signed by Walter l.. Houser as chairman of the Progress sive Republican committee.

Doctors Prescribe Billiards.

Recently, when a wealthy individ- ual sought treatmen for rheumatism, the doctor asked the patient, whether he had a home in which there was a large room which could be used for another purpose than the one it served. Receiving an off. -aative an- swer, he wrote a prescription which read, "One Billiard Table," saying, "You don't need medicine. What you want is exercise and something to divert your mind from business" :" And this physician is but one of the hundreds who know billiards to be enjoyable and healthful, and recom- mend. the game to suffering humanity as a curative agent in place of medi- cine Pocket billiards is perhaps the most popular variation of the game and is suggested by Eckler & Co.,, 96S-s74 Main street as a means for the average man to divert his mind from mental and physical burdens.
