For a Bilious Attack

When you have a severe headache

food and then bile, you may know
that you have a severe bilious at

This is the season for pneu-
monia, dreaded disease. One
that is very tFeacherous, for just
when the patient feels better and
the fever rapidly disappears, and
all looks bright, it happens that
the crisis is on and most deaths
occur.
The cause Of pneumonia is
fairly we'll understood. The
germ theory has some weight to
it, but conditions have to be
right or the germs are helpless.
The facts of an over loaded sys-
tenn with impurities, a severe
cold or lagrlppe, a congestion OF
the bronchial tubes and lungs,
figure much.
The handling of pneumonia is
all important. The nurse and
the doctor must understand their
business. There are three or
four different kinds of pneumonia
and each kind must be handled
in its own way.
AS gres injury can be done bv
wrong treat tment in pneumonia
as by the disease itself.
Personally l have never lost a
case of pneumonia. but / insist
they must not be handled fooi-
isbly.
Next week l will tell some of
the foolish ways in which pneu-
monia is often handled. and
which often results in death or
in permanent Injury.

FOOTBALL SQUAD
SHOWS NEW SPEED
Rockne and Three Assistants
Put Men Through Long
Driving Practice.

Coach ROckne's spring football
squad showed midfall speed in yes
terday afternoons workout on the
Carroll campus. With Rockne and
three assistants, Capt. Cofal of the
1916 team, Rydzewski and Baujan.
driving them, the candidates ran
through the various plays with
pep" surprising to the bystanders.
The candidates are already be-
ginning to show the results OF the
spring practice, despite the fact
that they have been out only a lit
tie more than a week. Rockne has
been drilling the men hard and they
are rapidly assimilating the football
knowledge that is being handed out
TO them.
Whether there will be a football
game this year as was staged last
spring. is yet problematical. Rockne
has made no statement as to wheth-
er he is planning 20 match two
teams OF the candidates. 1t is a
certainty, however, that the men
will be given some stiff srimmage
before the practice work is brought
TO a termination.
Chuck" CorCoran was the busiest
man on the Notre Dame baseball
squad in the indoor practice yester-
day. In the absence of Capt. Kline,
Corcoran worked at third base on
the first infield and then held down
the shortstop position in the second
combination. CorcOran has been a
valuable utility man Oh the Hoosier
squad for the past two seasons and
it is expected that he will make
strong bid for a regular berth this
year. although all four of the 1916
infielders are back.
Catching candidates donned
masks for the first time this year
and went behind the bat i'm praC-
tice. Four men are fighting for the
backstOp position. since "Jcie" Keen
an. last years regular, was shifted
TO the outfield. Bill Andres. a mon
ogram man Of last season, and Allis-
on, Philbin and Darrazola, new
candidates. are in the four-cor-
nered battle for the job.
Inter-hall fans are looking for
ward with interest TO the final meet
next Sunday. Brownson easily won
the first preliminary meet from
Walsh and st. Joe. last Sunday and
qualified a large number of ath-
letes for the finals. Sorin, Corby
and the Day students will clash in
the second preliminary Thursday
afternoon.
