LOSE THEIR PRESTIGE
Yale and Harvard OutClaSsed
By West and Pacific
Coast
lUnited Press correspondent.l J

New York, Nov. 26.-The football
season of 1915, which was officially in
tered this week, win go down in grid
iron history as the most wierd ever
foisted on a gasping public. Small col
leges, from time immemOrial the lawful
meat of the Big Ones in the collegiate
world, turned with vengeance that
makes the well known worm look like
the Rock of Gibraltar.
With the exception of Cornell and
Pittsburg, by now acknowledged peers
of the Eastern division, not an Eastern
team went through the Geason with a
clean record. Starting with the Yale
defeat by Virginia ON October 9, the
season was one long-drawn out and of
unexpected upsets.
w. and j. followed the Southerners
and took a slap at the Blue. Then
came Colgate with the same tale, and
lastly little Brown, which had been
licked by Syracuse and tied by Trinity,
took a parting kick at the bewildered
Bulldog
Cornell loped into Cambridge and
went out with the scalp of Percy
Haughton-the first time a Harvard
team had been defeated in three years
Princeton, with the best Tiger eleven
of a decade, was DEBATED four times
by the Yale aggregation.
The Army and Navy passed into the
second division of football institutions
by being licked by numerous small col
leges Lafayette came along and whip
ped Pennsylvania,
Out in the west old Fielding H. Yosi
has completed the most disastrous yeaI
of his long connection with the Wolver
inc institution. Michigan s Aggies, Sy
racuse, Cornell-all took a whack at the
heretofore feared Yost machine.
In view of these events, football
fanatics from coast to coast are wait
ing for the annual pun-an all-Amer
lean eleven--with more than usual cur
iosity. The Michigan Aggies defeated
Michigan. The Aggies were in turn
licked by the Oregon Aggies, and the,
in their turn were whipped by Wash
ington States and the University o.
Oregon.
Just how the experts, and particular
ly Walter Yale Camp, are going to Sc
lcct an eleven which represents Amer
lea, is pretty hard to see. One man
or dozen men, could not in q seasol
view all the college teams in these Uni
ted States. Washington State, the Ore
gon university and the Michigan Ag
gies certainly are to be considered.
The year has been the most wierd il
history. It's possible to pick an all
eastern team an all.conference team il
the middle west, and an all-westeri
team for the coast contenders, but al
all-American team is not only impos
sible but ludicrous. And this yea
wouldn't be bad one to witness tn
burial of this annual joke

Why Chilly Weather
Brings Rheumatism
SAYS SKIN PORES ARE CLOSED
AND URIC ACID REMAINS
IN BLOOD.

Rheumatism is no respecter Of age,
sex, or color or rank. II not the most
dangerous Of human Affections 1t is
one OF the most painful. Those sub
ject to rheumatism should eat less
meat, dress as warmly as possible,
avoid any undue exposure and, above
all, drink lots of pure water.
rheumatism is caused by uric acid
which is generated in the bowels and
absorbed into the blood. 1t is the
function Of the kidneys to filter this
acid from the blood and cast It out
in the urine; the pores Of the skin
are also a means OF freeing the blood
of this impurity. In damp and chilly
cold weather the skin pores are clos.
ed thus forcing the kidneys Ito do
double work, they become weak and
sluggish and fail to eliminate this
uric acid which keeps accommodating
and circulating through the system
eventually settling in the joints and
muscles causing stiffness, soreness
and pain called rheumatism.
At the first twinge Of rheumatism
get from any pharmacy about four
ounces Of Jad Salts; put tablespoon,
full in glass of water and drink be,
fore breakfast each morning for Q
week. This Is said to eliminate uric
acid by stimulating the kidneys tc
normal action, thus Kidding the blood
OF these impurities.

]. B. 'ExuM DEAD
LOVED CITIZEN OF WAYNE
PASSES AT FREMONT.

Many hearts among Argus readers
and throughout this and adjoining
counties, where he was so well known
and sincerely loved, will be deeply
saddened at the death of Mr. John B.
Exum, oldest son of the late Mr. and
Mrs. w. J. Exum, of the Eureka sec
ton, where he was raised. and where
he lived on his fine plantation until a
few years ago, when he moved with
his family to Fremont, where his death
occurred last night, shortly after mid
night, aged about 81 years.
He is survived by his devoted wife
and two children, son and a daugh-
ter, two sisters, Mrs. Thos. Edmund
son of this city, and Mrs. Snow, of
Durham, two brothers, Mr.. Will Exum,
of Tennessee, and Mr. Ed. c. Exum, of
Eureka, a wide circle of near re1a-
tives and an army of friends to mourn
his going away.
From his boyhood John Exum made
friends readily and he was always so
loyal, SO generous, so ready to do a
friendly turn, that he held his friends
through life in bonds of mutual re-
gard, for to know John Exum was to
love him.
For years he had been an earnest
christian, member of the Methodist
church, and he not only built his own
neighborhood church, near his old
home, buE whenever a church asked
for help he always generously re-
sponded.
For months he had been in decling
health and had recently gone with his
devoted wife to Baltimore for CONSUL
tation, but the examination there only
confirmed his own conviction that he
was facing the summons-and he was
| ready. And this thought should com
fort his sorrowing ones, who loved
him so and whom he so loved.
The funeral will be held at Fremont
-Friday-afternoon at 2:3C
| O'Clock, and the interment will be
made in his own family plot in the
cemetery of that town.

WASHINGTON AWAITS
ANSWER TO PROTEST
Reply Prob sbiY Will Expedite
Decision in pecial Cases
TAKE AWAY UNCERTAINTY
Sendford Carried Cargo From the Unit
ed States to Neutral POrt-Ehg-
land Nav Modify Embargo
Against Rubber.

Washington, Jan. 3.-Oficia1s expect
the coming week to clear away much
of the present uncertainty over seizure
of American cargoes and ships by the
allies. Great Britain's reply to the
American note of protest probably will
expedite decision of scores of special
cases.
The dispatch Of the protest covering
the general situation has for the mo-
ment side tracked some of the indivld-
ual cases. Sir Cecil Spring-Rice, the
British ambassador who has been con
ducting most of the negotiations IL
this connection, has not been at the
state department since news OF the
sending IF the note was made public.
1t is believed he is awaiting further
instructions before continuing his ne
gotiations A feeling of confidence
prevails on all sides that an amicable
adjustment will be reached.
President Wilson and his advisers
believe Great Britain will recognize
that the position of the United States
does not differ from that which Great
Britain herself repeatedly has main
tanned in previous war in which Eng
land was neutral. State department
officials rcirt out, for example, that
much more drastically phrased notes
were sent by England to Russia when
the latter was at war with Japan.
Not only did England declare that
foodstuffs must he shown to be for
the use of an army or navy, but specif-
ic protest was entered against the
doctrine that it is for the belligerents
to decide that certain articles or class
es of articles are, as matter of
course, to be dealt with as contraband
of war regardless of the well estab-
ished rights of neutrals."
In another communication between
England and Russia during the same
war, the former declared that unless
some steps are taken by Russian gov
ernment to restrain their naval au-
thorities from the indiscriminate mo-
Hesitation of neutral traders, the
amount of compensation for which the
Russian government will find itself
liable may assume enormous proper
tions. It is necessary that they should
realize that it is rapidly assuming
shape in which it will be impossible
for the government of this country to
rest content with the prospect of OBJ
tanning pecuniary compensation for
the sufferers. The situation which has
arisen has indeed become one of the
utmost gravity"
Reports of the finding of rubber
manifested as gum" in the cargo of
the steampship Sendford are under
stood to have virtually halted negotia-
tions in progress in London with the
object of obtaining modification OF the
embargo against expectation of rubber
from +. jtish possessions. The vessel
carried corgo from ne United States
to neutral ports. The British govern
ment has taken the position that the
rubber probably was destined for gsaf-
many.
