The men and women who win
lifes battles are physically and men
tally right. They take care OF them
selves and make sure that their
blood is charged with life-giying iron
and their nerves fed with phos-
pilates.
The foremost doctors all over the
world are depending more and more
on iron and phosphates to rebuild
run down, overworked men and wo-
men, old before their time.
They claim that the healthy,
strong, successful men and happy,
rosy checked women always have
an abundance of Phosphated Iron In
their blood; that it Is the secret OF
good health.
Every man and woman can be
made strong, keen, healthy and alert,
enjoying life's pleasures, If they will
renew their blood with iron and
pbosphates.
Phosphated Iron makes new, rich,
red blood, strengthens the nerves,
and often increases the strength and
vitality of its users 100 per cent,
Thousands of men and women "all-
in" and worn out have experienced
most astonishing increase of
strength and endurance in a very
short time by simply taking Phos-
phated Iron.

liam Stuart to bring both teams in ac-
ton in preparation for the year, was,
until the last few minutes, quite inter
esting and the challengers, many of
whom are players of considerable eX
perience, found the younger players to
be fast and formidable opponents The
ambition of the underelassmen was to
gain position on the substitute list in
order to make the various trips Of the
year This game gave the coach a fine
opportunity to pick his men since every
promising candidate had an opportu-
nifty to display his ability.
The only alteration in the seniors
lineup was that of Calcagni for Biggs
in the second half, all the other players
remaining to play the whole game On
the other hand the Embellishments
team suffered various changes, which at
the latter part Of the last period proved
it to be noticeably inferior to the senior
team.
Lorraine Densmore, who is a player
of much experience, having played on
the school team for two years prior to
his entrance into the u. S. army, was
in better form than ever last evening.
He has an accurate eve at shooting
baskets and is fast guard Murphy,
who last year spoiled his chances for a
first string position by playing indiyid-
ual ball, has broken the indiyidualistic
chain and now adheres to teamwork.
Last night he secured the greatest mum.
Der Of baskets when playing forward
with McHardy and the two fast and
accurate shooters together caromed Is
baskets from the floor, Murphy secur-
ing 10 baskets and two fouls and Me-
Hardy eight baskets. The latter play
or resorted somewhat to the individual
game
Biggs and Calcagni at center are
evenly matched men, though with a
| little more practice Calcagni viii doubt

style Of playing is of the favored type.

and Douglas as forwards, Blewellyn

looked much different, for this aggre-

After First Few Min
utes Of Game

from foul for .-the Goddard boys,
though five others We're tried.

Six fouls were credited TO each team
and Howe Of the Mortified team scored
only once from the six chances at the
basket Aiken, who went into the
game in the last half, scored for the

plays and handled the ball as a veteran
player. Cruickshank played fast
game and showed fine form for the
game. Steve Slayton suffered a Sc

1919, all of 1920 and the first six
months of 1921, If the demands OF
the American Congressman are fully

The postwar activities of the
German factories are needed, not
for war. but to fill the demands of
Senator's and representatives that a
German cannon be donated to every
town and village where their con-
stituents reside.
Some -one with mania for stat
istics calculates that pending bills
call for S7.9 times as many German
guns as were captured by all the al
lies in the war.

sue of which has just been received

of the American expeditionary forces
as General Sir John Joseph Per-
shing, G. c. b."
On July II, 1918, King George
awarded the grand cross of the Or
der of the Bath to General Pershing
and in August King George during
visit to France personally gave
the decoration to him. The award OF
the grand cross of the Order of the
Bath to British subject automatic
ally makes a knight of the recipient
and gives him the right to prefix
"sir" to his name.
The decoration given General
Pershing, however, was an honor.

that the American commander would
not receive the title of "sir" as he is

Mr.. Davies estimated the value of
the coal lands in Schuylkill county
for taxation purposes at a billion

the 100000 valuation now sub

there would be no trouble in quad
