To Cure Catarrh
 You Must Purify Your Blood

Specialists in catarrh troubles have agreed that it is an infection of the blood. The laboratories of the Swift Specific Co. have proven it. Once you get your blood free from impurities cleansed of the catarrhal poisons, to which it is now a prey, because Of its unhealthy state--then you will be relieved of catarrh--the dripping in the throat, hawking and splitting, raw sores in the nostrils and the disagreeable bad breath. It was caused, in the first place, because your impoverished blood was easily ir- fected. Possibly a slight cold or contact with some one who had cold. But the point is-don't suffer with catarrh-it is

Central and Bessenner Should Play for A. LA C. Ttle
IDONAHUE TALKS
 OF VANDY DEFEAT
Coach of PIainsmen Says Breaks Were Against
 His Boys

Coach Mike Donahue of Auburn is not given to alibis and hence the following from the coach's own pen to friend here regarding the vanderbilt-Auburn game is of considerable interest:
 The surprising thing about the Van derbilt game is not that Vandy should have won, but that Auburn should have lost. It would take long memory to locate a football game that an Auburn team tossed away in the last quarter, or to find game that an Auburn team lost because of looseness of fundament- als.
 Before the game was fairly under way Curry made the longest run he has ever made against Auburn, but after that he had no chance. The Auburn team seemed to be able to gain con- sistently, and meanwhile to throw Van derbilt for losses.
 After Currys run. Vanderbilt, being unable to gain, tried the passing game, but failed. Auburn took the ball and using their 1ine-divide formation brought the ball steadily down the field; the Vanderbilt tackles and ends were unable to stop the plays. After three first downs had been registered the first of Auburn's costly fumbles occurred.
 vanderbilt again started, and this time it was 15-yard penalty that set the team back, though after three tries the team only lacked a yard for first down. On the fourth down came the dls- astrous kick, Prendergast was unac- countably slow during the whole game in getting off his kicks. A blocked kick which rolled 20 or more yards back or Auburn's goal line gave the Commo- dores their first seven points and in- creased the strain that Auburn was under and really lost the game.
 The Auburn offensive at this time was powerful, varied and apparently able to gain at will. A tumble and penalty, however, broke up two of the marches for Vandy's goal line.
 Auburn kept fighting, but not with the same intelligence, and in spite Of more fumbling, got started on another march toward a touchdown and made it. Then came the most eXasperat1ng happenings, when Captain Hairston missed the goal and left the team still behind.
 "The team showed the strain between the halves, but after being ca1med down to a certain extent they did fairly well the third quarter, still kept throwing back the Vandy offense, and after Du- cote's goal it looked like a sure vic tory.
 Tt did until a tumble punt gave Van derbilt the ball on Auburn's 30-yard line. They were stopped there and Cody missed goal. A short punt and lo- yard penalty put them back there again. On fourth down, with 10 yards to go, Vanderbilt did the obvious thing tried a pass that the Auburn safety man in his unsteadiness jumped at too soon, missed, and the game was gone
 After that it was demoralized and blindly fighting Auburn team that kept going from bad to worse. Vanderbilt won, and deservedly so, because the team recovered both its own and Au- burns fumbles. They excelled in one of Auburn's strongest characteristics.

Scottsboro, December 1.-(Special) Jackson county high school closed very successful season here Thursday by defeating the strong Jasper, Tenn, team by the score of 20 to 6. Jasper featured J. Haskew and Phillips or Chattanooga.

Taylor getting away for a 40-yard run for touch down in the first three minutes or play Scottsboro clearly outplayed Jas per in the first quarter, but in the second quarter Jasper braced. Phil lips kicked field goal from the 20 yard line. In the third quarter Phillips repeated by kicking another field goal, tying the score. The fourth quarter was more determined by both sides Both teams using many forward passes Smith intercepted a forward pass and ran through the entire team for touchdown, and on a series of end runs by Hudder and line plunges by Taylor and Clemons another touchdown was made in the last two minutes of play Foster received a broken collar bone in the fourth quarter.

total gains. He added F yards in the second period, with 13 yards in losses. In the third period, he lost 14 yards with out counter advance.
 However, the reversals were not due to his sprinting, for the portly little quar- ter was speedy and clever. His interfer- ence was not strong and did not move with proper dispatch.
 Georgia lost but eight yards and these setbacks did not come until the final period.
 The invaders did not start well. In the first period, they gained but five yards. In the second, the Georgians were strong est, as 25 yards came from smashing the line and 31 from circling the ends. The attack fell off slightly in the third, when, although 9 yards were netted from line plays, the Alabamians held the end runs back to a total gain of yards. In the final period, Georgia made Il yards through the line.
 Sensational returns of punts and kick offs were foreign to the game. The two sets of forwards tackled accurately and were not sucked in by the fleetness of the backs. Georgia returned 6 punts, total distance of A yards, while Alabama made less than 9 yards return on the hoists ofVDonnelly. Green, who received for Alabama, did not judge the punts well and could not hold them. Happily, the plucky little back recovered when he erred.
 Penalties checked Georgia more than they did Alabama. The Crimson was called for off-side play once, while Geor- gia was penalized twice for this fault and once for holding. Incidentally, but for that penalty for holding, Georgia might have crossed the Crimson goal line, for the penalty came when the invaders loomed up under the Alabama goal.

RUCRQN BROOKLYNS Boss
 LEFT LANDER,

New York, December 1.-Napoleon Rucker, for years one of the leading left hand pitchers of baseball, has ended his career as major league twirler and next year will scout for Brooklyn, pres ident Ebbetts announced tonight.
 The news of the passing of Fucker came in an announcement of players re- leased. Fuckers name appeared under the caption of those released uncondi- tionally.'
 Although always recognized as great pitcher, Fucker never served with a win ming team. When at his highest form the Brooklyns were always near the bottom of the league standing, and when finally the Dodgers became pennant contenders

The "Out at Lunch" Habit

From the Ohio State Journal.
 ''Out to lunch.' we can hear every where, every day, when visiting busi- ness place during the noon hour, which generally extends from Il to o'clock, and sometimes longer when one occu- pies the better paid plane of work It makes one feel that eating is the main purpose in life and that business must give way to it. Now it is not such loss of time that is the serious comment as that the caller at the office or store must often wait long time for the luncher to return. We do not criticize it. but merely call attention to the fact that it is a modern invention. Not long ago we never heard the plea. Tn the old days people went home to dinner or took lunch with them.

Florence, Feb. All the mines OF

working at full capacity for the past
two weeks with the indication favor

high pressure for some time to come.
The Rockvale mine has not lost days
time for want of orders since Janu-
ary 18th. In all proba bility the Ere
mont county properties would not he

ent. were il not for the fact that it
is impossible to keep the line open
to the Routt county fields on account
OF heavy snow in that section The
companies operating in the Routt
county field secured much Of the bust
ness OF the c. F. & I. during the coal
strike and II will be some time before
the company will be able 90 even

fact that the Fremont county fields
can be operated in practically all
kinds OF weather is an advantage in
