Kid Mccoy, the hero of 125 battles,
is to open a sanitarium at Stamford.
He said the other day to a New York
reporter:
Il hope in my sanitarium to restore
lots Of grumpy middle-aged people to
perfect health, and if 1 give them
back perfect health I'll give them
back youth and gayety and romance.
If middle age is stupid, If middle age
is prosaic, it il only because the
health of middle age is poor.

sends her grumpy mate to my estab-

the bitter complaint of Mrs. Blank.

ECZEMA fTcHED so BADLY
Tc0ULDNT STAND IT.

IT suffered with eczema on my neck
for about six months, beginning by lit
tie pimples breaking out. / kept
scratching till the blood came. It kept
getting worse, I couldn't sleep nights
any more. It kept itching for about a
month, then I went to a doctor and
got some liquid to take. 1t seemed
as if l was going to get better. The
itching stopped for about three days,
but when it started again, was even
worse than before. The eczema itched
SO badly I couldn't stand it any more.
II went to a doctor and he gave me
some medicine, but didn't do any good.
We have been having Cuticura Rem
edies in the house, SO I decided to try
them. I had been using Cuticura
Soap, SO I got me a box of Cuticura
Ointment, and washed Off the affected
part with Cuticura Soap three times a
day, and then put the Cuticura Oint-
ment on. The first day I put it on, it
relieved me of itching sc I could sleep
all that night. It took about a week,
then 1 could see the scab come off. I
kept the treatment up for three weeks,
and my eczema was cured.
my brother got his face burned
with gun-powder, and he used Cuticura
Soap and Ointment. The people all
thought he would have scars, but you
CAN'T see that he ever had his face
burned. It was simply awful to look
at before the Cuticura Remedies
(Soap and Ointment) cured it,"

asked the children to give her stories

After several had given illustra-

Urges All Who Can to Try Football
Praises "Frats."

Lawrence, Kan, Sept. 23.-Chancel-
Ior Frank Strong in an address to the
students of the state university praised
the college fraternities and said that
those students at Kansas university
who were not mem bers of fraternities
"are not fulfilling their entire duty to
the school"
THE fraternities are meeting their
RESPONSIBILITIES to the university" the
chancellor said. THE reason for this
is that the fraternities are organized
and the students not members Of fra
ternities have no tie between them
The chancellor urged organization
among the students. He spoke vigor-
ously in favor of a plan to erect dor
mitories for the girls at the univer-
sity. He supported the attempt of the
students to build students union
building and praised the football spirit
in the school.
Il desire to see every man who can
go out for the football team" he said.
He said there had always been better
football players in the student body
than were on the team and this year
he wanted the best men of the school

The Advertising Manager Of
The Times wrote that he would
be glad to cooperate, but he
wanted the ASSURANCE
FROM THE MANUFACTURERS
that he would take back all un-
sold articles at the end of a year
that he did not propose that
his home people should suffer
any financial loss in introducing
a new article.
He argued that any REPU-

money to customers for articles

WILLING TO STAND BACK
OF HIS ARTICLE-to take it
back from the merchant if it did

The manufacturer was shown
the letter from the Times man,

lied inserting a clause in his

agreeing to purchase back his
article at the price paid for it by
them if they did not sell it.

a newspaper as an advertising

CHANGE FOOTBALL RULES.
Forward Pass Doctored by Gridiron
Experts as Season Opens.

Experts as season opens.
New York. Sept 23-Footban rules
for the season of 1911, which opens on
eastern gridiron today, were revised
in several instances in the wording
and elucidated by comment as to in
terpretation at meeting of the in
terco1legiate football rules committee
here last night. The forward pass rule
was the one chiefly discussed and 1t
underwent the most important change
of any made by the committee.
Any forward pass made from behind
the goal line and which is not fully
completed was ruled a safety This
changes last years ruling. which held
that on an uncompleted forward pass
made behind the goal line on the first
or second down, the ball must be
brought back and be counted an ex-
ira down, it being only a safety on the
third down.
Considerable attention was given 70
the rule relating to the protection of
the man carrying the ball. Walter
Camp, of Yale, who led the discussion
insisted that The rule should be en-
forced more vigorously than it had
been in the past
THE man carrying the ball cannot
be helped by any other player" said
Camp, "and any man who, whether
accidentally or not. places hand on
the player to assist him should have
the penalty imposed upon him. This
rule should be adhered to in both large
and small games or else roughness will
crop out"
Rule No. 8. which deals with players
disqualified for cause. was amended to
make the penalty include suspended
player Rule rs was changed TO pro-
vide that when a ball strikes an Off
cial it is not considered dead. but is
