II You Need a Medicine
You Should Have the BeSi

Have you ever stopped to reason why
it is that so 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 fulfill
the promises of the manufacturer. This
applies more particularly 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,
A prominent druggist says "Take for
example DR.. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, a
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 has so large a
| sale"
According to sworn statements and
| verified testimony of thousands who have
used the preparation, the success of DR.
! kilmer's Swamp-Root is due to the fact
so many people claim, that it fulflls al
most every wish in overcoming kidney
liver and bladder ailments; corects uri
nary troubles and neutralizes the uric
acid which causes rheumatism.

STANDARD BALL IDEA
STIRS GOLF PLAYERS
Rule Would Meet Hard Oppose
in U. S. and Canada.
No Definite Action Taken at Meeting
OF Royal and Ancient Club of ST.
Andrews-Matter Seems to Be
in Allegiance az Present.

Although the Royal and Ancient club
of st. Andrews at it's last meeting
took no definite action on the stand
ardization of golf balls, the matter
was discussed. Prior to the meeting
it was reported on seemingly good au
thorlty that it was the intention of
the rules of golf committee to intro
duce a rule standardizing the floater,
writes Joe Davis in Chicago Tribune.
In order to give the golf trade a
chance to unload its stock of heavier
balls, it was proposed to make the
change take effect at the close of the
present season.
For the time being the matter seems
to be in allegiance, and, while the mat
ter of Standardization never has been
officially discussed by the United
States Golf association, the national
body would have to take official action
if the British authorities decided to
adopt a standard ball.
Although the U. S. G. A. and the
Royal and Ancient club differ in their
Interpretation of the amateur rule, the
only difference in the playing rules is
that the U, S. G. A. sanctions the use
of the mallet-headed putter, which is
barred in Great Britain.
Commenting on the proposed legis-
lation the Canadian Golfer says:
at is sincerely hoped that the rules
of Tro1f will Ln
advised as to adopt such a radical de-
parture without first consulting the
powers that be in this and otheC golf
ing countries. In Canada the rules
and regulations of the game as laid
down by st. Andrews are faithfully
! followed, but it is a grave question if
any such change as that mo0ted in
connection with the standardization OF
the ball would be acceptable here. The
rules of golf committee must hasten
slowly very slowly, before making
any such rash decision. 1t certainly
would be retrograde legislation.
1.-THE chief objections made to the
rubber-cored ball are that it gives a
good response to a half-hit shot; that
it makes recovery from hazards too
easy, so that the bad shot does not
receive the punishment it deserves
and that its resiliency makes it much
harder to control on a hard green and
so introduces an element of luck in
approaching and putting.
"All these objections apply most
strongly to the floater and much less
strongly to the small, heavy ball. which
it is proposed to abandon One thing
is sure: If st. Andrews does attempt
to standardize the 'foater,' its ruling
will not be observed in Canada or the
States. 1t will commit gOlfing suicide
as far as its influence here is con-
cerned."

Polo, virtually noneXistent during
the war, will experience a revival dur
ing the coming winter and spring
which promises to place it again
among the leading outdoor pastimes in
California. Many of the Vests prom
inent players served in the army and
the return of these men will serve to
stimulate interest in the game.
Coronado and Del Monte, as in for
mer years, will be the center for polo
enthusiasts. Already stables of polo
ponies are arriving to be prepared for
the various tournaments.
To Draw Best Teams.
Three tournaments, two at Del
Monte and one at Coronado, it is be-
lieved, will draw the cream of teams

EDDIE M'GO0RTY GETS COIN
Boxer, Now in England, Should Come

Boxing is the most popular sport
in England right now, and promoters

a bundle over there, and if he does
not spend the wad should come home
with a roll that will make his rivals
in the States exceedingly envious.
