tify that Doan's Kidney Pills have
brought lasting results.

doubtedly the merit of this remedy
Years ago your friends and neighbors tes-
titled to the relief they had derived from
the use of Doad's Kidney Pills. They
now confirm their testimonials. They
say time has completed the test.

teachings of the Man of Galilee,
and like the good Samaritan of old |
was never known to pass by on the

in distress. He was strong in his
likes and dislikes, man of many |
friends, but few intimates, but for
tunate indeed was he who was thus
classed. These few friends knew
best, they had learned to admire
and respect this quiet man, this
man of more deeds than words.

the welfare of the town, and gave

Strenuous measures are being taken
by MeGugin and Donahue to get their
teams in the best possible condition for

For the first time this season Donahue

on an edge. The AUBURN field has been

riors through severe workouts, and the
Commodores have at last begun to show
some semblance of the football of
which they are capable.
That the battle will be hard fought
throughout is readily admitted by ad-
herents of both aggregations, The Ten
nesseans will enter the battle with the
desperate determination of saving the
Black and Gold from an ignominious

In with blackboard lectures, explaining
defense McGugin will build up to
stop the shifty Donahue backs.
No efforts are being made to con-
ceal the desperate situation at Van
derbilt and enough coaches have come
out to help McGugin whip the eleven
into shape to take care of every team
in the south. One big trouble with the
machine is the fact that so much time
has been spent in drilling elementary
football into the raw and Inexperienced
forwards, with almost daily shifting in
the line that McGugin has not been
able to supply them with any of the
old-time line shifts and deceptive FORM
ations. Not that McGugin has lost the
knack of digging up bewildering stuff,
but It's impossible to teach scientific
football to men who haven't yet mast
cred the rudiments of the game Again,
the eleven has not had enough scrim-
maging, but so much hard luck has
fallen on the Commodores in the way of
injuries that McGugin has been rather
leary about taking chances.
The latest to turn up hurt is Boensch,
who has game knee, but it will hard
ly keep him out of the Auburn affair.
Boensch should lay away over I,oui :
sell of Auburn at punting and much OF
the time may be devoted to an ex-
change of kicks. Boensch averaged 81
