He drew a small bone from the ankle

an inch long. The small hole grew
to about the size of an apple, and the
eczema spread to the knee. The doc

WOMEN AND HEALTH.

Women are beginning to realize
more fully that good health is not to
be found in the use of cosmetics and
face powders. The appearance OF
health may follow facial treatment.
but health itself lies much deeper than
the surface.
Most important to the health Of ev-
cry woman is regularity of the bowels
and digestive organs. The weary
eyes, bad breath, frequent headaches,
pimples and general air Of lassitude.
is in most every case due to consti-
patton or indigestion, or both. There
are various remedies prescribed for
this condition, but the easiest, most
pleasant and certainly effective, is
combination of simple laxative
herbs with pepsin known to druggists
as DR.. Caldwelrs Syrup Pepsin. This
simple remedy is far preferable to
harsh salts and cathartics and violent
purgative waters that disturb the
whole system without affording more
than temporary relief.
DIR. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin is a
tonic laxative, mild in its action,
pleasant to the taste and positive in
it's effect, strengthening the muscles
of stomach and bowels so that after
short time these organs regain the
power to perform their natural func-
lions without assistance.
DR.. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin is sold
by druggists everywhere in SOC and
$1.00 bottles. If you have never tried
1t, write for a sample to DR.. w. B.

Useful AGENT for Show.

AL G. Field, the minstrel man, has
another story which he Is telling.
He says that not long ago an attache
of his show was sent out in an Iowa
town to give some handbills, or her
aids, to boys for distribution. The
man found only one boy willing to
work. He didn't deem it necessary
to explain to the boy that the bills
were to be distributed about town
He took it for granted that the boy
knew. The youngster took the print
ed slips of paper and the man gave
him a quarter and left. Half an hour
later the Snowman CHANGED to pass
along the street and saw the boy
standing on the sidewalk, crying.
What's the matter?" asked the
man.
The boy gave a couple Of final sobs
and, wiping his eyes on his sleeve
said:
"A man jist come along an tool
one of my bills"

Bad Teeth Go with Good Brains.

An English scientist has pointed out
that there are signs of a steady de-
generacy in two sets of organs vital
to the wellbeing of the human race,
and the fall is most marked among
the western nations. The evidence is
that, coincident with the mental ad-
vance of man, there has been a dimi-
mutton in the provision Of teeth. In
the ape, the negro, and the white
man, brain and teeth are inversely
proportional to efficiency. Increase of
cunning has reduced the work of the
teeth, and the demand of the brain
for blood has starved the former; dis
orders of digestion show that the bal
ance Is unsatisfactory.

While no scrimmage was held. long after the city lights had been lit the Commodores were running signals and under the skillful instructions of McGugin were perfecting the queer for nations which Auburn will have to con tend with if they prove the tough oppo- nent Vanderbilt gives them credit for being. Alive to the danger that con fronts the Black and Gold team, several old time stars came out to render the assistance long experience had given them. Stein Stone imparted his valuable knowledge to the Hnesmen, especially to Shipp, who while terror at breaking through the line, often fails to land his man. Under Stones training this fault should be corrected for shipp is quick to learn.

 or the six games played the Alabamians have annexed but one victory Auburn won the first contest. which was played between the two schools. That was In 1s93. and since then the Commodores have had little trouble in trimming the Tigers
 The stiffest opposition that Auburn has offered Vanderbilt since 1893 was In 1895, when the Tigers held the Commodores to to score. Since unen the Auburn backs have failed to take the oval Across Vandys goal line.
 When these two teams last met Au- burn was doped to win. They had been accorded the southern championship the year before on comparative scores. Au- burn defeated Sewanee. while the Tigers tied Vanderbilt The next year Auburn swept the southern teams in an endless chain of victories. This was in 1909. Au- burn journeyed to Vanderbilt high fav- orlte to wipe out the old defeats and to annex the championship again.
 1 There was much rivalry between the l two teams in view of the fact that the year before when Auburn was given the championship Vanderbilt was not met. Each college had claimed the best ag- gregation in the south, but Vandy had only been able to tie Sewanee while Au- burn had defeated the Tigers, and hence tho honors wnt to the Alabamians. The outcome of the struggle is well known. Vandy rolled up IT points while Auburn failed to cross the Gold and Black goal line.
 Since then the teams have not met.
