 five days of training in preparation for crucial games next Saturday.

The cornhuslEsrn had besn heralded as one of the strongest teams developed at the NsbraskaL instdtation in years- but after tho first period the Nebraska dsfense crunipled.

have left that side of the jaw and the nerves connecting the teeth with the brain are blocked or prohibited from carrying the news of pain and therefore there is no pain A section of the jaw bone itself could be taken out if necessary and the patient would calmly follow the process without dis comfort of any kind.
 Under the old method of simply pulling the tooth regardless of the suffering of the patient many people refused to go a second time and the result was many cases of arthritis de- formans, the kind of rheumatism that twists people into all sorts of terrible shapes and deformities. Then came dentists that advertised Painless Dentristy" and injected cocain very freely In many cases we read of certain people having died of fear or shock in the dentists office, but in some of these all of the facts were not made known. z
 Laughing gas or r~sNitrous Oxide has been given freely in many cases with excellent results but also at times with disaster to the patient. but I have talked with and observed the work of one dentist that has been us irg the blocking method for ten years without single mishap and there fore I am convinced that it Is not only perfectly safe in all cases, even where the heart is known to be very weak, but that the after effect is not at al, distressing.
 It is now. therefore, no longer nec- essary to approach the dentists office with dread and the inward hope that he is not at home and so there is no longer an excuse for retaining those old snags and roots that befoul your breath and poison your blood stream through infection by way of the food you eat.

 The association's individual cham pionships will be held this year dur ing the latter part of March.

The Princeton officials de- clared themselves in favor of the proposition, and all that remains now is to get the date for the event.

CLUB NOTES

I will gladly answer all inquiries for information on health subjects from readers of this publication if same are addressed to Home Health Club, 5099 Cottage Grove Ave, Chi cago,, Ill. Send full name and ad- dress with 4 cents postage.
 Dear Doctor; I have. read your val uable advice given in your lectures and I wish to thank you in advance for answering this letter. My neigh ber has diabetes. severe cough and constipation. She has been sick for three years and is growing worse ev- cry day. She is 60 years old, has had 12 children and has worked very hard. She has consulted many doc tors but they do not seem able to do anything for her. It Is probably too late, but would be grateful for your advice in regard to such cases.
 MRS. O. J.
 (Answer) Although I do not think that your friends case is so severe that fatal results can be expected soon, still I do not believe that her case can be cured as she is quite old and age in such cases fnterferes with a cure However, I am of the opin- ion that she can live for many years yet and enjoy a fair amount of hap piness provided that she will follow a very careful diet, not only tenporar- fly but right along. Diabetes is con sIdered curable in most cases aad es- pecially where the patient is less than g. syears old. A great deal also de- pends. upon the patients general health and method of living. You will ffd quite bit of information on that subject in the Home Health Club book. Vol. 2.
 In treating such cases the diet is of most importance. All foods con taining a great deal of starch and su- gar ere worry injurious. Among foods allowed wish to mention with the exception of liver. all kinds of meat, chicken. fowl, fish, oysters, all kinds Of shell fish. cheese, butter. boullion. cabbage, cauliflower, spinach. lettuce. celery. unaweetened chocolate, miner al water. butternilk. Fatty foods are especially valuable in such cases. A diet that consists of fatty foods, meat

COLGATE LOSES CHANCE TO HEAD RANKS OF LEADING TEAMS OF EAST
E1even's Upset Big Boost for Pittsburgh, Ex pectedfto Run Up Large Score Against Weak
 Penn Team, Is Disappointment

Colgate's unexpected collapse be- fore Browns fighting eleven furnished the greatest surprise of s9aturday's football schedule, and the defeat of the Hamilton team is all the more astonishing because in several de partments it was just as strong as last year, while Browns team was almost entirely re-made. Browns persistenoy in continually plugging at the Colgate. line, especially at right guard and left tackle, and the splen did spirit of the team as a whole, were important factors in the vic- tory. Brown was satisfied to make short gains through the line, and make them often. Colgate actually gained more ground by rushing, be- cause several of the gains by sGillo and Hbbben covered anywhere from six to 20 yards. ]. Colgate gained PA yards by rushing to 13o by Brown but the ground gained by the Colgate back field was offset by the great bunting of Gordon of Brown His long spiral drives sailed far and were difficult to han d1e. The Brown ends, Sinclair. a for mer Stuyvesant High school player, and Williams, were down under Cor don's kicks with remarkable speed, and Mcbride, the Colgate quarter, had few chances to run the punts. In
 view of the great power of the Col gate back field, Browns victory is all the more creditatbIe. This back field
 was just as effective as it was last
 year, but the Colgate line was not nearly as formidable as, a. year ago.
 Colgate hoped to overcome the weakness in the line by the great strength of the back field, while Browns team was better balanced
 through out, the linemen playing in jperfect harmony with the back held Colgate, because of it's great showing last season against Brown, held the Providence collegians too cheaply and underestimated the strength of tine team which Robinson has buiut up tlris year.
 Colgate loses Iby this defeat it's chance to be ranked with the leading team of the East Browns schedule for the rest of the season should give
 the Providence men little trouble, ex- lcept for a hard battle ahead with Syracuse.
 Pittsburgh retained it's safe lead for the seaSon's ,honors by defeating Pennsylvania, although the Panthsrs did not come through with the strength that was expected of them
 The Pitt eleven was guilty of poor | judgment in the last few minutes o1 play in launching the dangerous for

such a way as to prove boomerang. There can be no question about the great strength of the Pitt full back McLaren, who already ranks as one of the seasons best.
 As a scoring machine, however, Pitt did not come up to expectations, as the Pennsylvania team this season Is not up to the standard of other years, because of wartime conditions, while Pitt retains many of last years stars. It is difficult to understand how any of the remaining eleveps on Pitts schedule can humble the Partners, all though they still have Penn State and Washington and Jefferson to play. Hopes of FOrdham Blasted.
 The high hopes which FordhAm has been entertaining this season dis appeared in the Rutgers rout. Ford ham was easily outplayed by faster and a stronger. team The Maroon is not as strong as the early season vic tories indicated and has a, hard week 8 work ahead in preparation for Georgetown on election day!
 Colum bia was doomed to disappoint- ment against Williams, although Met cah'sl charges made a good showing
 
 fact that Columbia has lost such a star quarter back and drop kicker as Howard Miller.
 The Army eleven, which was gen. orally supposed to be of unusuaa strength, got a scare in the Villa Nova game, and the West Point line was shown to be much weaker than the earlier games indicated. The Navy eleven ran wild against Haverford and rolled up one of the biggest scores of, the season with S9 points. While many Army and Navy men still have hopes that the Washington officials will eventually approve of an Army and Navy game for the Red Cross there has been no Indication from either branch of the service that the decision not to play the game will be rescinded.
 Dartmouth Taking it Easy.
 There was falling off in Dart mouths form against New Hampshire after, the great game which the Green played the week before against Wesi Virginia. Dartmouth tried out the second string players, but before the eyame was over they had to call back the regulars to hold off their oppon- ents. Dartmouth is evidently holding her strength for the Penn State game next week, which will be, the frs meeting between these elevens.

 EPILEPSY: Several months ago I had a series of articles upon the new serum treatment of epilepsy, ending the series with an offer from a special ist in treating epilepsy to treat free of expense one hundred cases for pa tients that would be willing to take the treatment and allow a complete history and description of their case and the results of the treatment to be presented to the American Society of Medical Research and published in its journal.
 Most people, of course, objected to the publicity but he had more cases than could be cared for under his off, fer. have watched some of the cases with great deal of interest and Ia tremendous amount of satisfa ction. Some that took treatment and paid for it, preferring that rather than the publicity, have not reported to me at all and I have no way of knowing whether they were cured or not ex-. copt that, aat a rule kicks come in IT. ore promptly than thanks or praise and if they had not been cured I would in all probability have heard from them 50 I take 1t for granted that they were all cured.
 Some of the regular practitioners with whom I come in frequent con- tact, have taken up the method of article and are meeting with uniform success so that believe that this very distressing and humiliating disease is quite likely to be stamped out, for which we shall all. be profoundly grateful. PULLING TEETH WITHOUT PAIN: presume there is no single treatment of humanity that arouses r.ore dread, abjeot fear and even hor- I TOT than that of having a diseased tooth pulled. It has been deTnonstra- ted beyond the shadow of a doubt that diseased teeth are responsible for most cases of rheumatism, few cases come from diseased tonsils and an occasional case from other sources of infection, but the teeth stand at the head of the list of causes.
 Teeth can be extracted now without any moro sensation of pain than that of cutting the hair. shaving or cutting the nails and if not more than two or three be extracted at a time there will be no. shock CT other disagree able after effects. The method is simplicity itself. but requires great skill and knowledge of the nervous system extending to the teeth. It Is called "Blecking the Nerve" and con- sists in the injection of Novokane mixed with the proper proportion of Adfenalin, directly into the nerve center near the angle Of the jaw on the side of the mouth in which are located the teeth that are to be drawn.
