How to Treat PimpIes.

1t is really remarkable how Cadum.
the new remedy, causes pimples to
disappear. Bad cases are frequently
relieved in a few days. Cadum causes
pimples to dry up and fall off leaving
the skin soft and smooth. Pimples
are a. disease of the skin, and axe not
caused by bad blood, as many people
suppose. Cadum helps these disfigur-
ing blemishes because it is applied
direct to the trouble. 1t is an antisep-
tic and prevents infection from disease
germs. Cadum should be Immediately
applied to pimple,s scratch. sore or

bles sometimes proves serious. At

greatest quarterback in the west since
McGovern. After he had directed the
Cardinals 10 80 to L victory over
Chicago, his coaches noticed him limp

Football critics who covered the
game paid Gillette the highest tribute
that could be given player in the

placed him on a level with Weeks, Nc
Govern, Steffen and EcEersan, great
est of the western quarteTblcEs. He
was called the equal OF Steffen in

ceived Saturday viii! not keep Gillette

New York, Nov. 14.-Frank Gotch,
the worlds greatest wrestler, has re-
nounced the mat for all time because
Of the tortures of training. So de-
clares Trainer Ed Smith, a close
friend of the champion. Dante never
narrowed a soul with more frightful
ideas of an inferno than Gotch enter

It's a strange situation, but true
who have reached a certain stage af-
ter the troublous years Of the grind
talk in much the same strain as does
Gotch.
Il met Gotch recently and suggest
ed that he might wrestle again.
No more for me- he blurted out.
Did you ever conceive some hideous
idea Of Hades? Well, I've got some
Lideous ideas. too, but they're all
about training. The hereafter doesn't
bother me so much.
Every once in a while think of
the wrestling game and wonder how
il would be 10 start out again Say,
the chills just begin to creep all over
me when / fancy those six weeks, or
maybe it would have to be eight
weeks this time, Of work that would
be necessary TO get me in condition.
The tortures of training never will be
erased from my memory.
People say l got my money easy
because it was just natural for me
TO wrestle; well, l have all the nat
ura. qualifications. / wish these peo-
pie knew the truth. It's the hardest
money man ever got.
They are scolding me in some
quarters because don't wrestle
Zbyszco again. They can keep on
scolding. l don't care. beat him
once; don't doubt that / could do so
again, but l haven't the slightest in
clination to try it. That's final. and
] don't care how strong you make it.
"'Soon after Christmas we are 60
ing out to California. In the south
ern part of the state I'm going to
pick out a little patch of land that
isn't too expensive and I'll buy it for
a winter home.
"Tll have somebody run it the
year round. because in the summer
Wen return to Iowa and attend tc
business there. That's what l cal an
ideal arrangement.
"Wrestle again and train? Ouch
but it makes me shudder' and Gotch
acted as if he meant it."
