MOLL SUCCUMBS;
TYPHOID VICTIM
Former Badger Football Star,
Coach of Purdue Team, Dies
at Madison.

Madison, Wis, Dec 26.-John E.
(Kechie) Mol, one of the greatest
quar:erbacks who ever played on the
University of Wisconsin football
teams. died at the Madison general
hospital at $3.50 o'clock yesterday
morning of typhoid fever. Moll recent
ly returned to Madison from Lafay-
cite, Ind, where he coached the Pur-
due footall team during the latter part
of the season. He was taken u rEe
hospital three days ago, and Tuesday
night his condition became so serious
that his parents were summoned to
the bedside, little hope being enter
tanned for his recovery.
The former Badger football star
not only was great player, but he
was a gentleman, a credit to intercOl-
legiate athletics. He played a clean
game and never once was known to
use rough tactics Intentionally. lie
was one of the greatest kickeTs il
the western colleges during the time
he played. and in his last year nc vas
the unanimous choice of critics for
the position of quarterback On the Al
Western team. He also was placed
on the third All-American eleven by
Walter Camp.
Moll was chosen captain of the
freshman eleven in his first year, 1907.
He soon won recognition from the
coaches and had little trouble making
the first eleven the following year.
His brilliant open field RUNNING, sure
handling of punts, deadly tackling,
aad his accuracy in making drop kicks
and placing of punts soon made him a
player who was watched carefully by
all of Wisconsin's opponents.
Owing to a serious attack of rheu
matism he did not play in 1909. In
1910 he again donhed his football toys
and performed with the same bril-.
liancy as he had during his first year
of intercollegiate competition. He was
placed on the second All-Western
eleven after the close OF, the season
and many c-ose followers OF football
thought he should have been given the
/ first berth in preference to Walter
1 Steffen, the University of Chicago
/ star.
Although he played in faultless
style during his first two years, his
| final season, 1911, was his best. He
won many games for the Badgers by
using perfect judgment in the selec
ton of plays at critical times. Hi:
work gave him undisputed right 20 The
: quarterback position on the All-West
ern eleven.
Because OF his knowledge of the
game he was selected as assistant
coach to Bill Horr at Purdue univer
sity. When Horn was dismissed about
! the middle of last season Mol was ap
pointed head coach. Purdue immedi
ately showed a lot of improvement
| Northwestern and Indiana were de
Z feated, Illinois tied, and Chicago held
/ to a close score in the important
games that followed
Although his contract had not beer
renewed at the Hoosier institution
! the general sentiment of Purdue alum
n! and undergraduates favored Moll's
retention as head of the football
squad. He was well liked by students
of Wisconsin, and Purdue.

doubt afterward regretted having
written.
Sometimes they said, Destroy
this; sometimes they didn't. Anyhow,
John Ware had kept most Of those in

was getting old he had seen what
harm might result from those letters
falling into strange and INSCRIPTIONS

BETRAYED By PUMP
Two West Point Cadets Found
Guilty by Continuance.
Students Accused by Commander Of
Having Partaken of Forbidden Re-
freshments, Make Denial and
Are Sent to Hospital.

West Point, N. Y.-Because they
were found guilty of following other
alleged transgressions by a violation
OF one Of the most stringent rules OF
the army, Charles Carroll F1tzhugh,
appointed from North Dakota, and
Frederic Hurd Van Horn, from Con-
necticut, were dismissed from the Mil
itary Academy recently by General
Thomas Barry, commandment of the
post An innocent but efficient stom-
ach pump used In the post hospital
accomplished the downfall OF the
cadets.
Both cadets were members OF the
fourth class and obtained permission
to leave their quarters on April n to
witness a baseball game on the post
athletic field They discarded their
cadet uniforms, and, dressed In natty
civilian attire, escaped the watchfuI
eyes of their superiors after the game
and slipped away from the reserva-
ton. The late afternoon and part OF
the evening of that day F1tzhugh and
Van Horn were alleged to have spent
In the village OF Highland Falls.
They were detected by one OF the Of
hcers when they attempted, under
cover OF darkness. to slip unobserved
back to their quarters.
Ono Of the charges subsequently
lodged against the cadets was that
when absent from the post they had
partaken Of intoxicants. Both denied
the charge.
To tell an untruth is considered In
the army an unforgivabIe ofrense.
General Barry learned OF the cadets
denial. He ordered both to the hos
pital. A report reached the Office OF
the commandant soon after a vigorous
application OF the pump, that estab-
iished to the satisfaction of General
Barry that both had partaken OF the
forbidden refreshments. The order OF
dismissal followed.

A CHlLDS' FATAL PENNY

Tn an article on 1.-The Fatal
Penny" in the July Woman's
Home Companion. Mary Heaton
Worse describes the sickness that
a child can buy with one cent.
Following is an extract:
Making one-eent candy is IN
itself a large branch of the candy
business; tons of it are manufac-
tured every year. The funda-
mentals of the trade are these;
to give as large an amount OF
some sweet substance as is
possible for a cent; to make the
substance into the most attrac-
tive shape; to ornament 1t with
gaudy colors.
1T is perfectly astonishing
how much of sweetness five cents
can buy. For FIVE cents you may
buy six highly colored candies
about the size of marbles; all
day suckers. two for one cent: a
pink, frothy marshmallow thing,
family smelling of banana-oil
and Snapped like banana; two
little men made out of licorlce
paste; a taffy on stick calcu-
lated to destroy the teeth OF
childhood in record time, all
these for five cents. Quite a
respectable collection, when you
get it together-for bulk. Its
variety is pleasing to the i'm
agination, and its violent lines
are as attractive to the primitive
color sense of the child as any
carefully planned Froebel toy.
There is, indeed, no question
to be raised against this candy.
except the vital one: Is it good
for the infants stomach? Do
you think that the five-year-old
digestion of your child will be
bettered by receiving to itself
slab of amorphous matter sweet
ened with glucose, favored with
mint, and colored with green
vegetable dye, the whole con-
coction an inch and a half wide
and three inches long! Let me
hastily say that none of the in
gradients in this form of sweets
is in itself necessarily poisonous;
also. they are usually manufac-
tured under sanitary conditions.
and the ingenuity of their ap-
pealing shapes and the variety
of their hueS are certainly to be
commended, but-are they good
for children to eat?
Until the child is ten years
old, at least, it seems not too
much to ask that the mother
should know all that her child
eats. 1t is during those years
that child's physical health is
beirg formed for good or i'll.
The continual little gastric up
sets, choleras, nauseas, and all
the other minor ills that keep
Children home from school for
day or two are almost without
exception the result of injudici-

these ills could be traced to the
