H. S. SEASON is OVER
IindeII Elected Basketball Captain
for Next Year at Banquet

The Topeka high school basketball
players have laid aside their playing
togs for the season and the final cur
tain was rung down with a banquet
given to the members of the squad
by Captain MacLean in the school
cafeteria, at which a captain for next
season was elected and the official
letters were awarded.
Donald Lindell, who has been a
member of the squad for two seasons
and who is considered one of the
most consistent players in school was
unanimously elected captain for 1918.
The players who were awarded letters
at the MacLean banquet were: Lin
dell, MacLean, PIath, Smiley, Jones,
Dehn, Alright and paige. Coach
Bearg, c. H. Hepworth and Principal
Stout also attended the banquet
During the season the high school
team played nine games, winning six
of them. The team had expected to
play in the Congressional District
tournament but was prevented from
doing SO because of a technical ruling
which bars players who have played
on teams other than their school team.
This rule affected the H. S. men as
practically all of them had played on
Sunday school teams.

PILES

There are people who suffer so
badly from PILES that they are
compelled to quit work, lose time,
remain confined to their homes.
THEN THEY THINK ABOUT
HAVING SOMETHING DONE.
Piles or rectal troubles which
cause you to be confined to the
home are mighty serious. 1t is
difficult for the best specialists to
offer relief quickly. Sometimes the
difficulty has gone too far.
But stop for a little and consider
how much better it would have
been to have been cured of PILES
or rectal disease before that point
was reached.
TAKES LESS TIME TO BE
CURED. YOU AVOID THE LOSS
OF TIME. YOU AVOID A GREAT
AMOUNT OF So + f Il II n G
WHICH YOU MUST ENDURE BE-
FORE THE POINT is REACHED
WHEN YOU DECIDE SOME
THING MCSC BE DONE.
When rectal troubles are discov-
cred, right then is the time to have
the PROPER TREATMENT CIV
. EN-. BE CCEED RIGHT THEN.
There is an irregularity present
which will not often correct itself.
Just a treatment two. at the time
the disease becomes apparent will re-
suit in a cure, and the possibility of
the disorder recurring is practically
eliminated.

of PA 15 per game. He rolled a
score of more than 200 in every one
