 MT. Cross says: "A few weeks ago was taken with a severe attack of the La Grippe and since then have not got my strength back and have not felt well. Nothing I ate tasted good and I did not enjoy my eating, in fact I did not want to eat. Since taking Lax-a-Tone my general health has i'm proved, I eat and enjoy it, and &eel well and strong and intend to take at least one bottle more to make sure of myself"

Pensacola Beats Palmer
20 to 0 In Fine Game

Line plunges, end runs, and two
forward passes gave Pensacola High
School the victory over Palmer Col
lege, of DeFuniak, by score Of 200,
in hard fought game Of football on
Maxent field Monday afternoon.
This is the second game Pensacola
has taken from Palmer, the first by
the score Of 1877 on the latter's grid
iron.
The defence of the home aggrega-
ton was strong, the line holding like
a stone wall against the assaults of
the visitors.
Though outweighed, the visitors
tried hardly any open or trick plays.
The Stars.
Fulghum, Greenwood, and Morgan,
Of Pensacola were the stars of the
day. Fulghum intercepted three for
ward passes, and was there with the
goods at line plunges or wing dashes.
Greenwood at full made some sensa-
tional plunges, and Morgan was a
great ground gamer. He made two
of the touchdowns, around end;
Fulghum bucking the other one
across.
Six Inches to GO-LOse Ball.
The visitors contested every inch
of the field, and at times showed a
splendid defence, and took the ball
away from Pensacola twice, when
touchdowns seemed certain; once on
the eighteen inch line and once on
the five yard line. In the former
case, Pensacola, it was first down on
the 8-yard line The third plunge
brought the pigskin to within six
inches of the goal, but the fourth lost
a foot.
The early part of the, game was
marred by off-siding; and both sides
were severely penalized.
How it Happened.
Pensacola scored in the first, third,
and fourth periods. The first touch
down came after. seven minutes of
play. DeFuniak received the kick
of. The ball changed hands twice,
coming into Pensacola's possession
on the 45-yard line. Fulghum flashed
through tackle for fire yards; White
failed around left end; Fulghum was
thrown back for loss, trying to buck
guard, bat. by forward pass placed
the ball on the 20 yard me, Morgan
running the blockade of right end for

DEBUNTANTE TEA OF MISS
MADELINE MAURY.


Miss Madeline Maury and the
charming girls who assisted her at
her recent debuntante tea in Mobile,
are well-known in Pensacola and so
ciety here will be interested in the
following notice from the Mobile
Register:
Four years ago a lovely new home
was erected on the site of the Bishop
Wilmer home at Spring Hill, one of
the traditional places of Mobile, and
here this home, known as Winner
thorpe" was taken possession of by
the Bishops granddaughter, Mrs.
James F. Maury, her husband and
children.
The eldest of the daughters, Miss
Madeline Maury, like her ancestors
who thrived on the sweet, wholesome
atmosphere of Spring Hill, has
bloomed into lovely young woman
hood in this home, which was thrown
open on Friday afternoon from to 6
o'clock at the first debuntante func-
ton of this season, when she filled
the role of hostess at an afternoon tea
in compliment to two members of the
debutante set, Miss Georgia Higley
and Miss Gladys Gauthier of Sault
Ste. Marie, Mich.
Invitations has been extended to
about seventy-five of the young soci-
ETY. set, including few young ma
irons, and entering the home, they
were greeted at the front door by two
little maidens, Bette Maury and Lila
Glennon, who, looking sweet and
dainty in white dresses with pink
sashes received the cards on a silver
waiter.
The guests were then shown into
the parior, which was rosebud gar
den, with pink rosebuds blooming in
vases and the animated ones COM

play. Both sides had been playing
erratic ball, when the oval came into
Pensacola's possession on a punt on
the % yard line. Bell, in zn eild-over-
end, was thrown back four yards. A
forward pass made a substantial
gain, and Palmer was penalized for
holding, placing the ball on the yard
line; Fulghum bucked for a pair of
yards, and Morgan placed the ball in
the tally position. No goal. Score,
1910.
The Third One.
After losing the ball on the yard
line, Pensacola caught the punt on
the 10 yard line and started the
grind over again.
Morgan circled right end for three
yards, and made another dash around
the same wing for what looked like a
touchdown, but he was halted on the
three yard. Fulghum bucked it over.
Captain Perkins kicked goal. Score,
200.

minutes of play was in the dark.

room was heightened by the girls in
their lovely evening toilettes. A touch
of blue was introduced in the decora-

used. There was constant stream
of callers all evening which repre-
scented the elite of society, and the
butterflies never looked lovelier nor
have never seemed in a happier mood.

first big function that opened the
social season of 1867, they could
now fit from one pleasure to another.

quoted. Think Of anyone really talk ing like that"
 And I thought to myself, "To think of college girls thinking it queer to talk like that!''
 Are all but a few hundred of the tens of thousands of words in the dic- tionary to be relegated to use in written language alone?
 We are not surprised when we find such phrases in books. We expect them there. But when real live peo- pie use them we are apt to think they are affected.
 Words That re Not in the Recog-
 nized Four Hundred.
 Reading widely and well will give anyone a good vocabulary. But many people who gain such a vocabulary use it only to understand with. That is, when other people use words that are outside the recognized four hum dred, they can understand, but they never think of using them themselves.
 That's a mistake. A very wise lit tie school girl of whom I know makes it a rule to find the exact meaning and pronunciation of every new word she meets and then use it the next day. Think what a vocabulary she will have.
 Of course someone will remind me that the simple, common words are best. So they are, but is it kind to overwork them? I think a society for the prevention of cruelty to com mon words might we'll be formed.

5. P. C.. (. ".

At a college graduation which I at tended recently I was surprised by two things:
 First, the unusually interesting na- ture of the students speeches.
 Second, the wretchedness of their pronunciation.
 One pronounced patriotism with short "a.''
 Another said "figger."
 Another left off all his final "g's." A fourth (not of the graduating class, but an alumnus of many years standing) pronounced the "h' in herbs.
 If college education does any one thing, it ought to teach men and wo- men to speak well.
 What It Means to Speak Well.
 And by speak we'll, I mean to use a wide and we'll chosen vocabulary, to pronounce properly, and to place and handle the voice with some skill.
 And yet how often we meet col lege graduates who use a limited and almost childish vocabulary, who pro- nounce wretchedly and who have nasal, uncontrolled voices!
 once overheard the following con- versation among three college girls:
 "I wish you wouldn't go," said A.
 Yes, don't" said B.
 "Very well'' said c. 1T wanted to, but in deference to your prejudices, III give it up."
