UNITED STATES LEAGUE
IS TOTTERING

Cleveland, O., May 2s.-The
new United States league is on
the rocks. The first signs of dis
indignation were shown yester-
day, when at a league meeting
here, the local club surrendered
its franchise, declaring it was not
satisfied with conditions in other
cities.
New York and Washington
are losing money. Fans will not
patronize the new organization.
Already several Washington
games have been transferred to
Richmond, and the series with
Pittsburg scheduled in the Ma
tional Capital will be played in
the Smoky City. New York and
Washington may be dropped and
Buffalo and St. Louis substituted.
Another city will have to be Sc
lected in which to place a team
to take the place of Cleveland.

FOR YOUR poor FEET

the greatest preparation In the
world is "Nufeet." 1t Is the only
foot powder that absorbs perspira-
ton without caking and destroys
odors and produces antiseptic pur-
ity without checking p~erspiration.
1t prevents all such foot Ills as
corns, bunions and c~allouses and
equity and rheumatic pains.
Be convinced; get a trial package
at 2bc.. and If 1t proves uneatisfac-
tory we will refund your money.
The regular soc. size contains two
and a half times more powder and
will be the cheaper for you to buy
after the trial package has demon
strated how much good "Nufeet"

The day book. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1911-1917, 1912-12-18


Anyhow, said supreme court
yesterday wrapped a large chunk
of dynamite up in lot of legal
language, and dumped it into the
very midst of Chicago's best fam
lilies.
In consequence, the husbands
and wives of the ''best" families
are wandering plaintively around
today asking each other if they
are married or just living to-
gether.
The dynamite was hidden in
the decision in the case of Rob
ert ]. Wilson, administrator of
the estate of Mary A. Cook,
against Robert ]. Cook.
And all the decision does is to
make illegal in Illinois any mar
riage ola divorced person within
one year Of the granting of the
decree.
It is nice broad decision, too,
that doesn't take any account Of
race, color or previous condition
of servitude.
It does not matter if the diyorc-
ed person remarrying was inno4
cent or not; it does not matter if
the marriage is performed in
some other state, but not in Hi
nois.
And neither the man nor the
woman who enter into, such a
marriage has any claim on the
heart, hand, property or time of
the other.
Wherefore the agitation in
high sassiety.
