Looking to 1917. (No. 3-Tennis,)


 Following Maurice Mclaughlin s slump from the heights, Williams and Johnston have had almost complete control of the tennis situation. Will Hams won in 1914; Johnston won in 1915, and Williams and Johnston came to the final round together this last year, with the Philadelphian on top,
 This pair still looks to be supreme, but their margin above George Church and Lindley Murray has grown very slight It is fairly close to a certainty that ane of these will be the 1917 champion after next August, for if Church ana Murray advance as much this season as they did last year in all around play they will be well on a par with the two leaders who have bagged the last three titles.
 The tennis impetus has reached such proportions that it requires no role of prophecy to pick 1917 as the advanced outpost of the game. It would be the greatest of all years to a great many if Mclaughlin could only put in one more season at the top, a. hope that 1917 will hardly fulfil with Williams, Johnston, Church and Mur- ray barring the road. ......

 The Recht discusses Rasputin's in- fiuence over the important and names persons. including several ministers. who not only owed their appointment to the monks patronAGe but were in daily contact with hi1n. seeking his advice.

It has been rumored that the two big leagues would very likely adopt an arrangement calling for an inter league series, where the two circuits would be tossed together in a Septem- Der jubilee. The only wonder is that such an opportunity to build up in creased interest has been overlooked so long. As it is, the scheme sounds entirely too good to be true.

body is subject to this trouble to a
greater or less extent. but few are
said to realize they are affected un-
til some severe ailment or disease
develops as result of it.
Auto-intoXication can be best as
cribed to our own neglect or care

fail in the discharge or their duties.
the putrefactive germs set in and
generate toxins-actual poisons,
which fills ones own body. 1t is
then that the most serious conse-
quences begin.
