COURT OF LAST RESORT.
People Who Know United Doctors
Consult Them After All Others Fail.

People who have watched the career
Of the United Doctors have seen them
grow from a small beginning in one
institute few years ago, until now
they have flourishing Institutes estab-
lished In many OF the larger cities OF
the country and their patients come
from practically all over the United
States and Cana da. The reason for this
phenomenal growth is that there Is
great merit in their new system Of cur
ing chronic diseases. The United Doc
tors are often referred to as the last
resort in medicine" TRY the United
Doctors before you submit to the sur
geon's knife is an oft repeated ex-
preston.

said c. A. Cairns. of the high school
who has had charge of this part of the
school games" The facts is that there
is no sure way of knowing who are good
and who are poor at Judging games.
The colleges ought to compile a list Of
competent officials and mail that list
to the high schools for guidance.
Whenever an official has proved to
be unworthy his name could then be
omitted from the list. In this way we
would have something to go by and get
better officials. Much dissatisfaction
at our games would be avoided :.

"Plan low growing shrubs of various

Local merchants have anticipated
the wants and needs of their customers
and have offered this year practically
everything that one could buy in the
large cities Of the country. and have
made it possible for trade from a dis
lance to buy anything and everything
close at hand. Not only car anything

has been the Kewpie doll, and long

not kept up with the demand. Dolls

Volume Of Trade Immense.
Merchants have given it as their
opinion tina this year will surpass all
previous records in the volume of$hol-
iday business. Up to the present time
most merchants have experienced an
Unprecedented early season trade. The
buying began early and h bulk OF the
trading has been done earlier tina Is
customary. This may be due to the
good weather permitting Of travel, or 1t
may be due to the fact that buyers have
come to realize that h rush Of the last
week or two, as experienced in past
years, was little short Of cruelty to
clerks and to shoppers as we'll.
