Have you ever stopped 10 req son why lt is tEat so many products that are extensively advertised, all at once drop out of sight and are soon for gotten? The reason is plain-the arti cle did not fulfil the promises of the manufacturer. This applies more par ticulary to a 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. O

SPORTING NOTES

From the Pacific coast comes the news that Fred Fulton has declined match with Knockout Kravosl5y of San Francisco. Fulton gave as a req son that he needed more time in which to train. From other sources
 come the assertion that Fulton was influenced by the fact that Kravosky mas a desIclon over Willie Meehan. It is not unlikely that Fulton, with a painful recollection of an event r1t Harrison, N. J., shrunk from meeting any man with the sinister prefix to his name of 'hnockout''
 Ad Wolgast, who is at Venice, Cal, following his release from a sanitari- um in Michigan, declares that he was
 railroaded to the asylum in an effort to deprIve him or Ius propelt but the fighter gleefuIly relates that he had the estate tied up so that it could not be touched. Wolgast is said to be in good physical condition, although it is intimated the idea of a plot to get control of his estate is one of his halluciations.

The best players available are being sought One of the latest acquisi- tions is Sid Brown, conceded to be of one best halfbacks in Canada. There is very little in the Steel league that can touch Bethlehem in either baseball or soccer.
 Harmony in the ranks of the majors is wanted by President John Heydler of the National league. Serious prob lens confront the game, he thinks, and it will be no easy matter to re- sume action in the spring. Much of the discord in baseball has been unnecessary and avoidable," says MT. Heydler. Small things have been enlarged so that they appeared to be serious discords. This is a mistake. Naturally in this organization and reconstruction period there will be disa agreements and every one will not think the same way. But every little disagreement in baseball need not be magnified into a so-called base ball war

It was the first time in the history of the organization that prize fighter ever attended one of it's meet ings. Lewis is a boxing instructor al Camp Upton and came there as gov ernment athletic instructor.
 A few other confessions of faitt which Dean Small put forward fol Dean Angell were as follows:
 q believe professionalism consists of spirit, point of view, that it is decidedly frequent among nomina amateurs, and that it is by no means to be defined solely in terms of money value set on athletic services, although this is perhaps it's commonest ,sigI; Men who play for motives other thar the love of the game, men to whom victory, however won, is; the control ing end, are men already on the road to professionalism, men who have 1T some measure sacrificed their anna teurism.
 T believe that a good deal of the professional training of athletic teams particularly in football, has been gross ly objectionable, in overWorking boys whose primary obligation is to tht academic aims of the college. The result has often been that the, boy has done neither job well-has been t3c exhausted to study and too much dis turbed at his class deficiencies to p Il his whole spirit into the games"

New York. Dec. So.-Exchange of Jack Barry, former manager of the Boston American league club, or In- fielder Harold Janvrin, for an outfield- er.from the Washington club was dis cussed at a conference here today be- tween President Harry Frazee, of the Boston club and Manager Clark Grif- filth of Washington. The deal was left in abeyance when Manager Griffith re- turned to Washington tonight.
 Griffith proposed to trade Outfielder Bert Shotten for either Barry or Jan vrin, it was reported, but Frazee was unwilling to accept Shotten. He did express his willingness to exchange one of the infielders for Clyde Milan.
 Manager Griffith also called on Lieu tenant John Lavan, former Washing ton shortstop and now surgeon on the battleship Mississippi, and said Lavan promised to give a definite reply by Jan. 15 as to whether he would play professional baseball again or remain in the navy.

JACK NORTHWoRTH A
 CHAMPION TRAPSHOT

Jask Northworth is now the trap shooting champion of the theatrical profession.
 Fred Stone, who with the late Dave Montgomery, formed wonderful team on the stage, held the trap shooting championship for many years. Stone, if you don't know it, is one of the best all-round athletes America has ever produced, but as his talents never ran to competitive ath- letics his great ability has never been shown.
 Stone and Norworth met in Chi cago recently, and as Norworth has gotten to be a regular gum bug" the past year or so, they decided to set tie the championship then and there They agreed on the best two-in-three matches, each at 100 targets.

BELIEVES COLLEGE
 SPORT WILL BE HURT

New York, Dec 2S.-A strident note against the evils of college sports was sounded by Dean J. R. Angel of the University of Chicago at the 18th an nual convention of the National Colle- giate Athletic association at the Hotel Astor yesterday. A rousing philippic, written by Dean Angell was read by his colleague, Dean W. W. Small, also of Chicago, and before he got through the extravagant football spectacle, the high paid coach, the training table and various other features of college sports were placed on the grill and toasted to crisp brown.

 Dean Angell termed this expression one of his Confessions of Faith" and there were IT of them. Besides the 100 or more learned and digni1ied college educators who heard and approved of this stinging rebulle to the conditions which existed in college sport before

 In all probability, much of the sell ing of rails was impelled by the many adverse statements for November sub lnitted by the Interstate Commerce Commission, such systems as Pennsyl- vania, Reading, Baltimore and Ohio, Canadian Pacific, Chicago and North western, St Paul, Rock Island and Kew Haven reporting net losses rang ing from $700000 to almost $2 900 000
 Recessions among standard rails ran from one to two points, but among issues of lesser importance losses were more extensive Industrials and equipments, coppers. motors and oils yielded one to three points and utili- ties one to five.
 The few conspicuous exceptions 10 he downward trend were shippings, Marine Preferred rally:ng sharply af- ter its early setb;v~',, Southern Paci- fic and L. S. Steel the latter losing only the smallest fraction on the mod crate rally at the close. Sales were 100000 shares.

but. it was never intended that crime
should hide her mongrel face in the
sacred precinct OF the ballot box.
And, should it become necessary
that you have a look into the bal
lot boxes in order to aid you in un-
covering crime and the doings ot
criminals, a way will be found to
let you look into the ballot boxes.
Gentlemen, these are conditions
that hark back to days of rowdyism
and are not to be countcnanced in
this twentieth century civilization. ]
charge YOU to make diligent inquiry
into these matters and make such re-
port as will drive out such rowdyism
from our midst and engender a
wholesome fear in the hearts of all
these corruptors of the ballot box.
Influence of Liquor
1t is contrary to law to give or in
any wise furnish Intoxicating
liquors to another for any purpose,
and should you find that any candi-
date or friend OF any candidate, or
anyone else furnished such liquor,
and especially on election day, and
for the purpose OF corrupting votes
bill him, and present him in this
court that he may receive his just re-
ward. There is no question but what
this has been done and in almost ev-
cry precinct in this county. II wit
nesses refuse to testify in this, or
any other matter about which you
may inquire, report such to me in
open court.
A grand jury, sworn to do its duty,
courageous and fearless in the per-
formance of its duty, is the most
wholesome influence TO which we
may appeal in such conditions OF
lawleSsness and rowdyism. Do your
duty. Lawlessness and rowdyism

zation, but we are making progress.
Drunkenness in Office
Section | of Article 2 OF the Con
sttution OF this state, as amended
and put in force by Act OF the
Legislature OF 1916, is as follows:
Every person elected or appointed
to any office or employment of trust
or profit under the laws OF the state,
or under any ordinance of any mu-
nicipality thereof, shall give person
al attention to the duties OF the OF
fee to which he is elected or ap-
pointed. Drunkenness and the eN'
cessive use OF Intoxicating liquors
while in office shall constitute sut-
fcient cause for impeachment or re-
moval therefrom.'

to whether the provisions of this
very wholesome law are being OBJ

Before adjournment OF your body,
visit and inspect the Jail, manner OF
its keep, and all other public build
ings, and make report of your find
ings.
Gentlemen OF the grand jury, |
shall content myself with the few
specific matters pointed out to you
in the foregoing pages OF this
charge, but you are told that a grand
jury when once impanelled and
sworn and duly organized as a part
OF the district court, constitutes a
body of entire independence. You
are, therefore, told that you need
not conhne your investigations to
the matters suggested to you by the
court in his charge. You may, if
you like, run the entire provisions
Of the criminal code, and wherever
you find crime committed against
the laws of our state, it will be your
duty TO report same and return such
bills as may seem to you to be sup
ported by the evidence brought be-
fore you. You are advised to return
no bills unless in your judgment
they will be supported by the evil
dence.
The attorney general will be with
you, together with the county at
torney, advise you as to the law in
all matters. If you should SO de-
sire at any time, you may come into
court for further advice from him
upon any matters that may arise
during your labor.
