ALL WOMEN NURSES.


Every woman, or at least almost
every woman, wrote Florence Night
ingale, has, at one time or another
of her life, charge Of the personal
health of somebody, whether child
or invalid-in other words, every wo-
man is a nurse. Every day sanitary
knowledge Of nursing, or, in ether
words, Of how to put the constitution
in such state as that it will have no
disease or that it can recover from
disease, takes a higher place. It Is
recognized as the knowledge which
every one ought TO have-distinct
from medical knowledge, which only
d profession can have.
II, then, ey ~ woman must at
some time or other in her life be-.
come nurse-namely, have charge
Of somebody's health-how immense
and how valuable would be the pro-,
duct of her united experience il every
woman would think how to nurse.

Sporting Comment
BY ED w. SMITH

NNCE you give a dog bad
~ name he Is apt to carry 1t
always. This applies to
boxers as well as dogs. Tommy
Burns Is finding It to be the case.
The Calgary financier and taber-
dasher boxer has been under sus-
picion more than once for trick
cry in matchmaking and "arrang-
ing," with what justice we are
not prepared just now to state.
but the fact remains that critics
and public are not inclined appar-
emily to take seriously anything
that Tommy does. They took his
connection with Arthur Pelkey
with some degree of seriousness,
but when Gunboat Smith licked
him and Kid Kenneth followed
up that defeat by tumbling Pei
key over in six rounds, the smile
went around and Tommy mere
ly was charged with being bad
Judge OF fighter.
THEN Tommy decided to take
some of the white hopes himself.
and somebody out in Taft, Cal,
took him seriously. They matched
him with Battling Brant, and aft
er Tommy had given Brant. who
was said 10 have been connected
with the Kenneth camp. a good
aclng in short encounter, the
word went out that Brant was a

had been placed" for the purpose
of giving Tommy a little cheap
come back reputation.
A ND because of the speckIed
past of the Calgary man ev-
erybody was prepared to believe
the yarn. Burns himself pro-
nounces II ridiculous and says
that he never before going to
Taft with Pelkey had laid an
my this time, but there is one
thing we can not understand, and
that Is why Burns is so persist
cnt in wanting to take up the
grind Of training again. Tommy
is well fixed with the worlds
goods, has a beautiful home and a
nHt ldIillly III 1dlBdIyt has lWO
excellent business establishments
there. Is heavily interested in real
estate and generally could settle
down and be one OF the best fixed
of all the retired fighters.
VET he elects to go back into
the whirl of the fight game,
taking a chance that the fine
record he held at one time will be
entirely smirchcd by a licking at
the hands of some newcomer.
Burns will be SO years old in June
and isn't too old to battle. But
the mystery of II all is. Why
should he?

| THIRST, let me preface this article
by saying 1t is not written to
suggest changes in football
rules, but rather in protective sense
to consider all the suggestions that
are likely to be made, and to ask that
the spectator and player be given
as little alteration to master as may
be compatible with the welfare of the
game.
1t has been the dream of the prac-
teal football player every year to let
the rules crystalline so that we would
get a permanent form and it would
| not be necessary for man to learn
new manual every year, nor would
II impose upon the men who have
graduated two or three years the
sense and feeling of being more or
less out of it until somebody has ex-
planned to them what changes have
taken place in the rules since their
day.
Tor the last three years, we have
come more near this desirable
crystallization than ever before, and
if the efforts of all reformers be
limited TO clearing up the difficult
points of the present rules, rather
than altering the style of play, it
is safe to say that spectators and
players for 1914 will be greatly re-
lieVed.
Moreover, there are enough minor
points-minor in the sense of affect
ing the play-that need to be made
definite and also to be enforced to
give the rules committee and those
who wish to help plenty to do. II
anyone wishes to experiment, lei

ing of the linemen on defense and
attack; namely, that one which for
bids a guard or tackle, if dropped out
of the line, 70 run with the ball I'M
less he goes five yards back.
Probably any one who knows any
thing about football understands the
meaning of this rule, but how to word
it so that a coach shall be free to
use his men as he pleases on defense.
which Is one of the traditions of foot
ball, and yet prevent him from TAX
Ting advantage of this license to use
big fellow to run with the ball, is
a. puzzle that has thus far been too
much for the rule makers
A MOTHER point that was evident
"A ly somewhat misunderstood last
season was what is referred to gen
orally among players as the ON side
kick"
Hundreds If letters came TO the
writer indicating that players were
confoundng comments on the rules
with the rules themselves. When
last year II was made lawful for a
] kicker to punt from a point nearer
The scrimmage line than five yards,
that legislation, of itself, opened up
the possibility Of the return OF tho
old fashioned on-side kick, that f.
q kick so performed that men of tn
kicker's side would be behind him
when he kicked the ball
II was not at all the on side kick Of
three or four years ago. That on
side kick was introduced by the rule
which Mrovdcd that when a kicked
