Mitchell Victor
John Albert, varsity center, guard
and tackle for the University of Chi
cago football team this fall, died yes
terday afternoon in sanitarium at
Battle Creek, Mich. Albert had been
at the Michigan resort for about a
month, going there when serious
stomach ailment defed diagnosis of
Chicago physicians. At the time he
was 70 pounds under weight.
Albert had his first year of confer
ence competition last fall and was
rated by Coach Stage as one of the
best men who had ever come under
his direction. Albert prepared for
Chicago at Wendell Phillips high
school, where he was captain of the
football team.
A good card is billed for the Pho
neer A. C. at Aurora for tomorrow
afternoon, when Battling Jack Mel
son and Roy Dietz go ten rounds in
a windup. Nelson is touted as a
strong mixer and is peeved at recent
statements by Dietz, who claims he
can whip the battler with ease. Vim
cent Ketchel and Jack Boehni, feath-
ers, will furnish one of the prelimin-
aries, and Terry Gallagher and
Swede Carlson will put on the cur
tain raiser. .-...
The fight between Charlie White
and Young Shugrue, scheduled for

President Gilmore disclosed this

This was the fiIlup needed to make

the past the magnates have fought
only for athletes, umpires and ground
keepers. And, incidentally, money.
President Thomas of the Cubs did
the talking for his club when he and
Manager Bresnahan arrived home
from the National league meeting in
New York. Roger was silent, as there

The "Jackpine Sand Lot"

AAASr ~~S&AHAAAS SssAAA A>OVs
Now that Amendment No. 9 is a
part Of the state Constitution, and
legislation to carry it out impends
Minnesota and it's legislature and
public officials should exercise the
greatest care that no land suitable
for agriculture is tied up in the for,
ests, cautions the Duluth Herald.
It. is not that the forestry enthusi,
asts have any real desire to do harm
but that they may be mistaken.
=, For instance, the average forestry
argument is pretty certain to refer
to the "jackpine sand barrens" OF
Minnesota; and so often has that
phrase been used that there are a
great many people who believe that
jackpine land is useless for agricul-
ture.
In point of fact, the sandy soil OF
the jackpine and scrub oak country
is good soil, properly, treated.
MluueSOld ueeuS lOfeSLry WOFk,
and every acre of state land that is
unfit for agriculture should be de-
voted to it. But land good for ag-
riculture should not be tied up in
forest reserves; and the superstition
that jackpine soil is valueless should
not be allowed to live longer.
We would suggest to the legisla-
ture, the governor, or whoever de-
cides who shall determine what land
shall be used for forestry and what
kept for settlement, that the board
or committee selected for that pur-
pose include an expert in jackpine
land.

ent Of banks, has called conference
Of state bankers of Minnesota, to
meet in St. Paul Dec. 20, ''to discuss
matters of mutual interest" The
chief subject of the conference will
be the relation of the state banks,
Of which there are now 8S2, to the
federal reserve bank. Some state
banks have nationalized, explaining
that it made it easier for them to
work with the federal reserve bank,
though the federal law allows state
banks to participate. :. The confer
ence will discuss how cooperation
of state banks with the federal sys-
tenn can be made easier.

Kidney And Bladder Trouble.
Causes Great Distress !. J.

It gives me great pleasure to re-
commend DR.. Kilmer's Swamp Root
to any one suffering from bladder
trouble.
For four years was troubled by
bemorrhages from the bladder and
was not able to get any doctor who
could help me. I was in such shape
that sleep at night was impossible on
account of distressing symptoms
While bending over would be strick-
en- with such a pain that it was i'm
possible for me to straighten up. Mr..
Henry, one of our leading druggists,
advised DR.. Kilmer's Swamp-Root; );
although l never had any faith in pa
tent medicines, as last resort
purchased a dollar bottle. of Swamp
Root. I noticed decided change
and after using two bottles 1 was
completely cured. 1t seemed re-
markable that l should be, cured SO
quickly after being, i'll so long. But
since this took place nearly two
years ago, have never been troubled
and would highly advise any one suf-
fering from the same trouble, Ito at
least give Swamp-Rooto trial and 1
think the results will be the same as
mine. =: Z. -.s
