TO PREVENT OLD AGE
COMING TOO SOON

'Toxic poisons in the blood are
thrown out by the kidneys. The kid
neys act as filters for such poisons.
If we wish to prevent old age coming
too soon and increase our chances for
a long life, we should drink plenty OF
pure water and take a little Anuric,'
says the famous Dr. Pierce OF Buffalo,
n. Y. -
When suffering from backache, fire.
Guent or scanty urine, rheumatic pains
mere or there, or that constant tired,
WORKOUT feeling, the simple way to
overcome these disorders is merely to
obtain a little Anuric from your near
est druggist and you will quickly no.
tice the grand results. You will find
it thirty-seven times more potent than
lithia, and that it dissolves uric acid
as hot water does sugar.

SWEDES TO VISIT IN SPRING
Prominent Sport Followers Pledge
Enough Money to Send Athletic
Team to United States.

The visit of q small team of Amefi-
can athletes to Sweden this fall is go
ing to result in big doings in track
sports in this country next summer.
The appearance of the five American
stars = Meredith, Simpson, Loomis,
Ward and Murray-in Stockholm,
awakened in the breasts of the Scan
dinavian enthusiasts the desire to send
a team to America, which so nearly
bore fruit last June. Only a crisis
between Sweden and the entente pow
ers, which made it look as though
King Gustav's country was about to
be embroiled in the big war, prevented
the Swedes from sending along a team
under Ernie Hjertberg that would have
done credit to the nOrthland.
AS matters stand now, there is
pledged by prominent sport followers
in Sweden enough money to send a
team of about 10 men to this country.
1t is felt that should the invitation of
the New York Athletic club to the
Swedish athletes be repeated next
spring, as seems likely now, there will
be a popular subscription ample
enough to finance team of twice the
size of the one planned last spring
The one factor that would prevent
the meet, as it did last spring, is the
military situation. va

LATERAL PASS NOT POPULAR
Beautiful Play to Watch, a Great
Ground Gamer, but Not Tried
Often This Season.

The lateral pass hasn't been used
very often this year. Many teams
tried it out in 1915 and found it too
dangerous. 1t is a beautiful play to
watch, great ground gamer when it
is properly executed. But when it
failS-ruin!
The play is sort of double forward
pass, usually worked along the side
lines. The center passes the ball to
the quarterback ana he f1ips it to one
of his Enthusiastically an end-who
has raced to the sidelines. Upon re-
ceiving the pass, Mr.. End is supposed
to hurl it forward to one of his asso-
ciates, who, by that time, If on sched-
ule, should be 20 or 80 yards nearer to
the opponents goal line.
In this triple handling Of the ball,
with the possibility Of fumbling, hides
the greatest danger. The next men,
ace is in making the final pass. If the
man elected to make the real run with
the ball has reached his station and
is uncovered" by any of his foes, o.
X. But the chances are that one of
the enemy is lurking in that neighbor-
hood, and when the final heave is
made, said enemy leaps into the
ozone, extracts therefrom the whirl-
ing ball and-blooie, blooie!

FOOTBALL TEAM is FAMOUS
Panhandle Eleven Organized Fifteen
Years Ago at Columbus, Ohio
Has Many Features.

The famous Panhandle football team
of Columbus, O., organized 10 years
ago by Joseph T. Carr, who is still at
its head, is one of the leading organi-
cations Of it's kind in the United
States. The team averages $50 pounds
and has many features that make 1t
stand out as a great eleven. There are
six brothers playing regular positions
on the team and every one Of them is
a star in his particular position. They
are the famous Nesser brothers. They
average over 200 pounds each, their
total weight being close to three-quar-
tiers Of ton.
The Panhandles, during the present
season. will play a schedule of IA
games that will carry them all over the
United States, for it is seldom in any
branch Of athletic activity that such an
organization is found. Another feature
of the team is the fact that all of the
players are employees of the Pennsyl-
vania railroad in Columbus and have
been for a number of years.

lined up outside the saloon with empty
dishes Supposed to contain curry and
rice), and, on bell being rung,

proffered the dish to each seat, con-

The eagle eye of the chief noticed
that one steward Ga cockney named

seats without proffering the dish. He
strobe up to the table, and his manner
betokened trouble for Bill.

Colgate, Washington and Jefferson
and Penn State are teams that have
risen to dizzy heights in the football
world because the new game has paved
the way for them-removed the weight
handicap they had to suffer in the
other years Of the beef era.
Those three colleges have small
enrolment, the average being around
500. It's an almost impossible task to
recruit from such a small crowd Of
pupils a team that could match in
weight with colleges where the coaches
have 5000 or more men to draw from.
And so, in the other days, when mass
plays were in vogue, it was rarely that

victory over the heavier ones. They
were crushed under the awful bulk Of
their foes.
All that is changed now. No longer
is there a premium on bulk. Brains,
speed and trickery count far more
than weight. And so this "Small-Fry
