ANTICIPATE MUCH
ACTIVITY At THE
AMATEUR MEETING
Cases of Players Under Sus.
pensation to Come Under
Consideration.

Indications point to a long and in
valved session for the Amateur Commits
sion at its meeting scheduled for tomor-
row night at Spaldlhgs store.
Several cases of players under sus-
pension will come up for a hearing and
other cases are to be reported, accord
ing to those interested in the amateur
teams. One of the newest features
which have a direct bearing on a
change in the new rules Is that reported
as finding an advocate In Charles Graf,
president of the Northern Associat ton.
The commission rule in regard to
carrying fifteen players on a club Is
thought to be too inadequate. 1t has
been found difficult to obtain enough
talent at games to put nine on the
field. The old twenty-men rule will
probably be asked for. While there has
been but one forfeiture owing to there
being a scarcity of men, 1t is understood
that several teams will ask that the
old rule be placed on record again.
Other advocates say that the fifteen
men clause keeps the teams in line, and
that there Is no reason why the old
rule should be again inserted. Under
the Old rules of the commission, with
men playing on two teams under the
commission the twenty-men clause
about filled the bill. With the restrc-
tion to playing on one team In vogue
this season, managers of teams say
there Is no necessity of carrying twenty
men and having a full team on the
bench during game.

Foods That Bind
Little Children
Start Them OFF Right With Good
Laxative and Then Watch
Their Diet.

Mothers are often unconsciously
very careless about the diet of their
children, forcing all to eat the same
foods. The fact is that all foods do
not agree alike with different per-
sons. Hence, avoid what seems to
constipate the child, or to give 1t in
digestion. and urge 1t to take more of
what is quickly digested.
If the child shows "A tendency to
constipation, 1t should Immediately be
given a mild laxative to help the
bowels. BY this is not meant a ply
sic or purgative, for these should new
er be given to children, nor anything
like salts, pills, etc. What the child
requires is simply IA small dose of the
gentlest of medicines, such as Dr.
Caldwelis Syrup Pepsin, which in the
opinion of thousands of watchful
mothers is the ideal remedy for any
child showing a tendency to consti-
patton. So many things can happen
to constipate a child that care is ne
cessary Catching cold, piles, head
aches, sleeplessness and many other
annoyances that children should not
have can usually be traced to consti-
patton.
Many of Americas foremost famil-
les are never without Syrup Pepsin,
because one can never tell when
some one member of the family may
need it, and all can use it. Thou
sands endorse it, among them the
parents of Alton Hillenkamp, Nacog-
doches. Tex, and Mrs. H. b. Ches-
man. Sherwood. Ore, who buy it reg
