FEW FATALITIES
Follow The New Rules For
Playing Football.

New York, Nov, 20.--Now that
new" football has been mastered
the casualty list is so small that needs
a microscope to read it. Football
as it is being played this fall is a
game that requires seventy-hve per
cent brains AID twenty-five, per cent
speed and Drawn. And where brains
rule over beef in any game naturally
there is less chance for injury
The new" game last season
wasn't success, but solely because
the big elevens could not grasp the
situation. With one seasons work
under their belts. the coaches and
players this year we're greatly bene-
fitted and from the opening day of
practice took up the new" style Of
play.
And as q result there haven't been
over three or four deaths recorded
this fall. Just glance at the follow
ng figures and then you will appre
ciate what new" football has ac-
complished:

INTERESTING EVENTS IN
c II | c A G @
NINETEENTH NATIONAL
CONGRESS
DECEMBER 5 TO 9.
DECEMBER 5 TO 9.

The object and purpose Of this
Congress can best be expressed in
its motto. Save the forests, store
the floods, reclaim the deserts, make
homes on the land" to which might
be added drain the swamp and
make homes on the land"
There are in the United States
rs, 900, 900 acres of swamp land, nom
productive, a menace to health. and
a deterrent to immigration. 75,000.-
600 acres divided into 40-acre farms
means homes for 1885 families.
or approximately 100000 Of our
citizenship This land when re-
claimed will be as healthful as land
that has always been dry, and will
be the most productive of all lands.
because it is composed of the rich
soil brought down by the rivers, de-
posted and mixed with the decayed
vegetation for centuries.
On account of the diversified own
ership and state complications it
would seem that the United States
Government is logically the authori-
ty to redeem these lands along the
lines pursued in the reclamation Of
the arid lands of the West.
The results Of irrigation of the
arid lands Of the Far West, and the
possibilities of the drainage of the
swamp lands of the Great South,
and elsewhere, will be given partic-
ular attention in an elaborate pro-
gram that has been planned for this
congress. Delegates from all parts
of the country, as well as foreign
representatives, have been invited,
and a goodly attendance is expected.
Land Show, Nov. 10 to Dec. 9.

velopment of lands throughout the

CHANGE IN SILK FASHIONS
This Winter VIII Find Women Wear
Ing Gros-Graln Of Their. Grand
mothers Days.

Dame Rumor whispers that there Is
to be a change in silk fashions. and
his winter will find women wearing
the gros-grain of their grandmothers'
days, and those women who can at
ford them stiff brocades heavy with
threads Of gold and metal. such as
were used long ago and revived for
the coronation. Worth, by the way.
has taken a great fancy to these fab
RIGS and we may expect to find many
of his wonderful creations developed
from these rare and beautiful mate
rails.
Ottoman silks, says the worthy
dame, will be used again, this time
principally as collar facings and
revers, cream white. deep yellow and
coronation red being the favorites in
color, any of which will be stunning
with a navy or black serge suit.
Uncut velvets, tod. so soft that they
almost resemble a: ribbed silk. are
appearing over the horizon. These in
Paris are called "velours epingles."
Silks, velvets and vefveteens, in fact.
all the heavy old fashioned materials
are iii the foreground SO much so that
one wonders If women are returning
to the day Of hair cloth and the fash
ionable ambition that ones gown must
stand alone.

MISS SUSAN GLAsPELL'S DOG
VOLTA the Original Of the Puppies In
Her Story The
VIsionlng.

Miss Susan Glaspell, the author, has
a dog, which fact Is of more impor-
lance than might at first appear. For
In her new novel, The V~isioning, are
introduced two frolicsome puppies
named Pourquoi and N'est-ce-pas. And
there are no two more real characters
in the whole book than Why and Amt
1t, to use their names In English form.
1t was Miss GlaspelPs own dog, a
Bohemian beast, that inspired the Gre
alton of The Visioning's twin puppy
clowns. The real dog also has a
French name, VOLTA. When its owner
bought it, over In Paris, she wanted at
first to name it Raspail, both in mem
DRY of the boulevard on which she
lived and as a sympathetic cognomen
for a sensitive souled Partisan dog.
But her family objected. They could
not see their way clear to shouting,
Come Raspail! Raspail! Raspail!" So
Miss Glaspell compromised on VOLTA.
VOLTA has vagaries. It is a wan
derer. 1t is a collie, and a collie, 1t
evidently thinks, ought to be afeld.
Whenever it feels that way, away
VOLTA goes. Fortunately it wears a
collar with Miss Glaspell's name and
address. She has come to think moth
ing of such a phone message as this:
"Helloi Is dis Miss Glaspell! Veil,
dis is der bartender bel Hans Bum
melransen's saloon. No, no, wait! /
didn't GOT der wrong nh0ne number
choost want to say I got here your dog.
Will you come for him."
Then the author of The visioning
has to drop chapter plans and seek
out Herr Bummelransen's place with
sorrow-and a dollar. But were 1t not
so there might lever have been a
N'est-ce-pas and a Pourquoi.

HilIocks of YeuetabIes.


At this time of the year farmers are
busy making miniature mountains on
their holdings, mountains that will be
scattered over the countryside before
the winter is over.
The mountains in question are those
formed of vegetable produce that must
be kept for several months, and sold
as occasion requires. Potatoes, beet.
root, carrots and turnips are raised
from the ground in September n
stored.
The farmer calls his hillock OF vege-
tables a clamp" He makes 1t on a
piece of high ground near the home
stead, SO that it may not be flooded,
and many a big grower has clamps a
quarter of a mile long.
First, a shallow ditch is dug on the
piece of land selected. The base of this
is lined with straw, and upon the
straw the roots are heaped up firmly
and carefully, till they resemble an
elongated cone.
Over the sides Of the cone o
straw is laid, and on that again earth
or, better still, turfs, with their grassy
sides inwards. Bricks will not keep
out frost, but straw will. and a we'll
made clamp is frost proof and also
damp proof.

A small number of men sympathiz-

SCALES ALL OVER HER BODY

"Allow me to say a few words in
praise of the Cuticura Remedies.
About three years ago, l was affected
by white scales on my knees and
elbows. I consulted a doctor who
treated me for ringworm. / saw no
change and consulted a specialist and
he claimed I had psoriasis. l contin-
ued treatment under him for about six
months until / saw scales breaking
out all over my body save my face.
My scalp was affected, and my hair
began to fall. / then changed doctors
to no avail. I went to two hospitals
and each wanted to make a study of
the case and seemed unable to cure
it or assure me of a cure. ! tried sew
eral patent medicines and was finally
advised by a friend who has used
Cuticura on her children since their
birth, to purchase the Cuticura Rem
edies. I purchased a cake Of Soap, the
Ointment and the Resolvent. After
the first application, the itching was
allayed.
81 am still using the Soap and Oint-
ment and now feel that none other is
good enough for my skin. The psor-
iasis has disappeared and I every
where feel better. My hands were SO
disfigured before using the Cuticura
Remedies that l had to veal gloves
all the time. Now my body and hands
are looking fine" (Signed) Miss
Sara Burnett, 2135 Fitzwater St., Phil.
adelphia, Pa, Sept. 80, 1910. Although
Cuticura Soap and Ointment are sold
by druggists and dealers everywhere,
a sample of each, with 32-page book,
will be mailed free on application to

EVER TAKE A MUSIC BATH7
They Are as Good for the Soul,
Holmes Says, as Water for
the Body.

One must be educated, no doubt, to
understand the more complex and Diff
ferent kinds of musical composition.
Go to the concerts where you know
that the music is good, and that you
ought to like it whether you do or 0
Take a music bath once or twice a
week for a few seasons, and you Will
find that it is to the soul what the
water bath is to the body. | wouldn't
trouble myself about the affectations
of people who &c to this or that series
of concerts chiefly because it is fash
ionable. Some of these people whom
we think SO silly Will perhaps ind,
sooner or later, that they have a dor
mant faculty which IS at last waking
up, and that they who came because
others came, and began by staring at
the audience, are listening with anew
ly found delight. Everyone OF us has
a harp under the bodice or w~aisyfoat,
and If it can only once get properly
strung and tuned it will respond to all
outside harmonies.-Oliver Wendell
Holmes.
