cided IT was time to call a halt. Bob

A long time ago Bob was divorced.

girl The slim young thing showed
up last Sunday and Bob was all eyes.
It peeved his present wife, and her
pleading was Of no avail.
His wife, the big one, decided 1t

wife. and had It out with him, with
the result that the affair was brought
into court Bob was such a little
fellow and his wife, Roberta, such a
big. strong. husky woman. that the
court thought It best to send them
home to kiss and make up. Bob con-
WINGED the court that he loved his
wife by proving that he got her some
extra places to wash clothes.

old PRESCRIPTION
FOR WEAK KIDNEYS

Have you ever stopped to reason why
it Is that 30 many products that are ex-
tensively advertised, all at once drop out
Of sight and are soon forgotten? The
reason is plain--the article did not fulfil
the promises of the manufacturer. This
applies more particularly to medicine.
A medicinal preparation that has real
curative value almost sells itself, as like
an endless chain system the remedy is
recommended by those who have been
benefited, to those who are in need of it.
A prominent druggist says, "Take for
example DR.. kilmer's Swamp Root, .
preparation ! have sold for many years
and never hesitate to recommend, for in
almost every case it shows excellent re-
Suits as many of my customers testify.
No other kidney remedy that know of
has so large a sale"
According to sworn statements and
verified testimony of thousands who have
used the preparation, the success of DR..
Kilmers' Swamp Root is due to the fact
that, so many people claim, it fulfils al
most every wish in overcoming kidney,
liver and bladder ailments corrects ur-
mary troubles and neutralizes the uric
acid which causes rheumatism.

Swamp-Root by Parcel Post. Address

penn IS BEATEN AT
their own GAME
Oregon Shows FolWelPs Men.
Something About Forward Pass

Pasadena, Cal, Jan. 2.-Outplayed
at their own spectacular style of
open-field play, outgeneraled in the
use of the famous forward pass. in
which they were expected to prove
adept, the Pennsylvania eleven went
down to defeat mere yesterday. II
to o. at tho hands of Oregon In the
seasons biggest International football
contest.
The Red and Blue team was not
disgraced. For, three-fourths of the
game 1t kept the ball in Oregon's
territory. Penn even held the great
smashing line drives Of the big tim
bermen, and three times had the
ball within seven yards OF Oregon's
goal. but the effort wore them down.
The big-limbed youths from the
East could not Withstand the severe
tax imposed on them, and when 1t
became necessary to use every ounce
of reserve strength to Withstand the
terrific onslaughts hurled at them
they withered. and 1t was then that
Oregon outdid them.
Not only forward passes but
brilliant double forward pass, care
fully and ceverly executed, scored
the first touchdown for Oregon at
the close of the third period. Penn
tried hard to avert another score In
the last period, but was beaten back
and Parsons Of Oregon, after making
a run down the field of 80 yards, was
pushed over the line for the West
erners' second touchdown.
| Oregon. could hardly have played a
| more consistent game. The team.
1 - g.
only single tumble married its play
| Although the Oregon players were
heavier, Penn. at the start of the
game, attacked them like 1.-THE young
panthers, even hurting back counter
attacks and stop ing Huntington and
Parsons before they could get started.
Oregon kept on resolutely When
Penn finally got the ball within seven,
yards of the Oregon goal line, Mitch
ell charged the instant the ball was
passed to Quigley. who had replaced
Berry, and so ferocious was the tackle
that the Penn fullback was carried
twelve yards back of the line FROM
where he stood, prepared to dive into
the mass of players in a grim attempt
to cross the Oregon line. ~
This was toward the end of the
second period, and was the turning
point of the game. While Penn still
kept Oregon at bay, the psychological
effect of that setback was never over
come, although Penn had ample
chance to score.
Nine times In succession toward the
close Of the game. the Fasteners
tried the forward pass, but never
could the receiver make any head
way. Mitchell, Tegert, Bartlett, the
two Huntingtons, and Parsons all
lived UP to their regulations, which
made them the most feared players
in the Pacific Coast conference. For
Penn. Berry was the same daring,
spectacular back, and Miller even ex-
ceeded the great star. Bell was equal
ly prominent and made the second
longest individual run of the game.
one of twenty yaEds and PENIS best
effort. The thirt$-nine-yard run by
Parsons in the final period was the
most spectacular play of the day.
