COLLEGE FOOTBALL GAMES
ON TO-MORROW'S SCHEDULE;
SEASON IS NEAR FINISH

New York, Nov. 23.-The waning
or the Eastern college football sea-
son is indicated by the decrease in
the number of games scheduled for
the final Saturday of the month. Sew
eral of the more important elevens
have completed their allotment of
contests and others will close the
present gridiron campaign with to-
morroWs play. In few cases teams
with Thanksgiving Day matches will
devote Saturday to practice and all
or these circumstances tend to re-
duce the list of games as compared
with those of preceding week-ends.
While keen inter-college rivalry
VIII mark almost every contest
scheduled, two games stand out as
promising high class and exciting
play in the meeting of Brown and
dartmouth and Notre Dame vs.
Washington and Jefferson. The
Army team will also face a formid-
able opponent in Boston College;
Pennsylvania has an easier task in
playing the Carlisle Indians, while
the Yale and Princeton freshmen
eleVens and several of the canton
ment teams are down for what are
expected to be hard fought gridiron
battles.
Teams Evenly Matched
There does not appear to be any
great advantage for either Dart
mouth or Brown on the eve of their
game which will mark a renewal of
the athletic relations between the
two colleges. Both teams have had
a hard season during which they
nave played a strong and consistent
game, considering the handicaps un-
der which football has been con-
Quoted at the two institutions this
fall. Each eleven has been forced
TO DOW to one or more opposing
teams during the present schedule
or games but whether in victory or |
defeat the players have shown foot |
pail power and a thorough know
ledge of the game which leads to |
the conclusion that when they face
on the field the combinations will be |
evenly matched and that the result |
Will hinge to a great extent upon the |
breaks of the play.
The work of both Notre Dame and ,
Washington and Jefferson all season
has stamped them as teams of unu-
sual strength and the meeting to-
morrow should produce one of the
very best games of the day. The
hrst eastern appearance of the In
dian collegians resulted in the defeat
of the Army team at West Point but
whether Notre Dame can duplicate
this feat against Washington and
j efferson remains to be seen. The
work of the latter eleven against
Pittsburgh and West Virginia, while
resulted in defeat and
the playing of third hard game in

UnquestionabIy.

There was prominent lawyer in San
Francisco who prided himself on his
astuteuess i n questioning Chinese wit
nesses. He was very nearsighted, how
ever, says Case and Comment, and on
one occasion got into difficulty through
falling to notice that the dress Of certain
Chinese witness was of finer texture than
that worn by the ordinary cooIie. The
following dialogue ensued:
"What is your name2"
"SeIl Lung"
"Do you live in San Francisco2"
ayes"
"You sayvy God?"
"Mr. Attorney, il you mean TO ask
whether comprehend the entity Of our
Creator, | will merely reply that on uext
Thursday evening shall address the

subject Of the Divinity OF Christ, and
shall be pleased if you will attend"

Your Favorite Hymn.

II is no small wonder that nearly every
church hymnal in the United States, and
many in Great Britain, contains the hymn
Familiarity known as "Nearer Home" Its
author, Phoebe Carey, a sweet singer OF
beautiful and pathetic memory. was born
on a farm near Cincinnati, Ohio, in 1924.
She wrote many poems of exceptional
merit, but OF all her hymns, the one most
generally distributed has been "Nearer
Home" more faithfully known, however,
by its first line, Zone sweetly solemn
thought"
Miss Carey composed this hymn one
Sunday morning in little third-story
back room OF her home, in 1852. Various
changes have been made in it, and the
Encouragement into six stanzas made by
Miss Carey was included in "Hymns for
the Christian" which was compiled by
the hymn-writer in 1869. in collaboration
with DR.. Charles F. Deems.
1t may be truly said that Miss Carey
was inspired to write "Nearer Home"
The hymn came from her heart after she
had returned from the Church OF the Pur-
itan where she had heard the distinguish
ed preacher, Rev. George B. Cheever,
preach touching sermon on the brevity
OF human life.
Despite the fact that the rhythm OF the
hymn is faulty, and that its author never
designed that il should be sung, il has
become universal favorite, particularly
as solo, and has charmed more persons
than any other American sacred song.
In spite OF the great appreciation that
came TO this hymn shortly after it was
published, up to within year or two OF
Phoebe's death, she was not conscious
OF its popularity. Before that time it had
wandered over the world, pauSing at
many thresholds. filling with sweetly
solemn thoughts many Christian minds.
A story is told how number OF men
were gambling at Macao, China, when
one of them, an American, began singing
a few lines of NEARER Home" which so
impressed those about the table that
they ceased the game, returned the mon
ey, renounced gambling, and became
Christians.
Miss Carey died at Newport, Rhode
Island, nineteen years after she composed
the hymn.

Mosuuitoes And Flies.

We do not know what new enemies
we may have 10 fight during the coming
summer, but we are quite sure that we
shall not fail 10 meet our old foes-mos-

insect pests. Inasmuch as il has been
proved beyond all question that these
insects are responsible for the spread OF
many dreaded diseases, we no longer
have the excuse OF ignorance II We allow
them 10 multiply round us. In the
tropical zones the mosquito carries yel-
low fever from one human being TO an
other; in the temperate zones il carries
malaria. Wherever men succeed in
extermiuating the insects these disorders
die out.
The people OF the more civilized parts
OF the world are paying much attention
TO this exterminating process and are
spending large sums Of money, with the
result that in many localities the mos
quito is becoming rare, much 10 the inn

Vacation On Farms.

Hundreds OF thousands Of city workers
who are allowed a vacation this summer
should plan 10 spend il on a farm. The
shortage OF help on our farms is greater
this year than ever before. due partly TO
the patriotic effort OF our farmers TO plant
every available acre. Two weeks OF
outdoor life on farm will be not only a
new and pleasant experience 10 those
vino have never tried il, but will do
wonders in building up physically for the
entire year. II IS not 50 much The time
spent in idleness which constitutes real
vacation as a complete change in ones
everyday work Farm work is much light
er than formerly, owing 10 The general
adoption OF labor-saving machinery, and
a large part consists in riding where a
few years ago the operator walked.
While the city man may not be qualified
10 perform properly all kinds Of farm
work, there is plenty he can do, and
when given the chance is likely 10 surprise
his farmer employer by his readiness TO
learn and efficiency shown Aside from
the satisfaction Of doing something worth
while for our country, the return in health
and strength which outdoor exercise af-
lords, and the money earned instead OF
spent at resort, there is positive asset
in this getting together of the city and the
country man. Each will be surprised 10
discover what lot Of valuable experience
the other fellow has, and how much each
can learn from the other TO mutual sdysn-
tage. The farmer will find out the city
boys are not all "dudes." and the city
lad will realize the modern farmer is
anything but "rube." There will be
some disappointment, OF course, but the
majority on both sides will make good.
Don't wait until the last minute, but get
in touch with some farmer at once. This
can easily be done through the bureaus
conducted by daily papers in all cities.
You may raise few bIistes on ycur
hands but you will raise a tremendous
appetite at the same time, and the rich
tan and fresh blood will more than COM
pensate for few lame joints the first
day or so. Many will know for the first
time the Joy contained in an old oaken
bucket, and that new-mown hay has a
fragrance which no amount Of money can
purchase at the perfumer's.

Why Rheunnatism Comes
With Cold Weather
BY VALENTINE MOTT PIERCE, M. D.

A close connection exists between
these two cold weather and rheu.
matism. Prof. Alex. Haig, of London,
has the most followers in the medical
profession in the belief that the pres
ence in the system of uric acid, or its
salts in excess, is the real cause OF rheu-
matism. Everyone has recognized the
difference in the appearance of their
water as soon as it gets cold; there is
often a copious sediment of brickdust.
Several causes may lead up to an
accumulation of uric acid in the system,
which, in turn, causes rheumatism or
gout, or creaky joints, or swollen fingers,
on painful joints. For one reason the
skin does not throw off the uric acid, by
proiuse sweating, rs in the hot weather,
and the Kidneys are unable to take care
uf the douhe burden. Another reason
Shepherdstown register. [volume] (Shepherdstown, Va. [W. Va.]) 1849-1955, 1917-07-05

is that people do not drink as much
water i'm cold weather as in summer,
which helps to flush the kidneys. Again,
they eat more meat in cold weather, and
some people are so susceptible that they
soon develop rheumatism after eating
meat.
At all such times persons should drink
copiously of hot water, say, a pint
morning and night, and take Anuric
three or four times a day. This An
uric comes in tablet form and can be
had at almost any drug store. 1t dis
solves the uric acid in the system
and carries it outward. 1 would advise
everyone to take Anuric occasionally,
and continue for three or four weeks,
and in that way avoid rheumatism, gout
and many of the painful disorders due
to uric acid.

Comes 10 me DER and DER

Than have ever been before.
Nearer my Fathers house,
Where the many mansions be;
Nearer the great white throne
Nearer the crystal sea,
Nearer the bounds OF life.

Nearer gaining the crown.
But lying darkly between,
Winding down through the night,
Is the deep and unknown stream.
That leads at last TO the light.

Are as white as white can be.
But never one in the harbor
As white as the sails at sea.
And the clouds that crown the mountain
With purple and gold delight,
Turn 10 cold gray mist and vapor
Ere ever we reach the height
Stately and fair the vessel
That comes not near our beach,
Stately and grand the mountain
Whose height we never may reach.

Still hold in thy magic veil
The glory OF far off-mountains,
The dream OF the distant sail.
