 Relief, Quick Warm-Up

The sensation of the year in the drug trade is Aspironal, the two-minute cold and cough reliever. authortatively guar anteed by the laboratories; tested, ap- proved and most enthusiastically indorsed by the highest authorities, and pro- claimed by the common people as 10 times as quick and effective as whisky, rock and rye. or any other cold and cough cure they have ever tried.
 All drug stores are now supplied with the wonderful new elixir, so all you have to do to get rid of that cold. is to step into the nearest drug store, hand the clerk half a dollar for bottle of As- pironal, and tell him to serve you a teaspoonful with four teaspoonfuls of water in a glass; With your watch in your hand. take the drink at ohe swallow and call for your money back in two minutes if you cannot feel your cold fading away like a dream, within the time limit. Don't be bashful, for all drug gists invite you~xnd expect you to try it. Everybody's doing it.
 When your cold or cough is relieved, take the remainder of the bottle home to your wife and babies. for Aspironal is by far the safest and most effective, the easiest to take and most agreeable cold and cough remedy for infants and chill dren. Do not be afraid of the alcoholic contents. for it contains 10 more than any good doctor would prescribe for a cold, cough or the nu-Adv.

.MASSATHLET|CST ID
 BE INTRODUCED AT UNIVERSITY
Vaughn s. Blanchard of Bates College To Super wise Introduction of
 New System

University, February 1S.-(Special.l-As the first step in the plan to introduce mass athletics into the University of Alabama, Vaughn s. Blanchard of Bates college. member of 1912 Olympic team former professor and athletic coach of Andover and late camp physical director at Camp Wadsworth. arrived here Mon- day and immediately had q conference with Coach B. l.. Noojin in regard to details of the work.
 The Y. NJ. c. A., through Robert c. Cubbon. physical director of the south eastern department is backing this work to reduce physical illiteracy' and Ala bama was one of two colleges selected for this work, the other one being the Uni versity of Georgia.
 With the idea of inducing the maxi mum number of students to indulge in athletics provisions have already been made on the campus for voley ball. cage ball and jennie courts and for five or six ball diamonds. Coach Noojin has on hand several pair of boxing gloves and lessons are to be given in boxing and sparring. According to Mir. Cubbon. 1t is not the idea in mass athletics to abol- ish varsity athletics and intercollegiate contests but on the contrary, larger body of student athletes will be fur nished to choose the varsity players from. The new idea of athletics. accord ing to Jane Addams, is not to produce the athletic physical star nor yet the flat chested, bespectacled idol Of the profes- sors, but normal, healthy, vigorous com bination of both.'
 The success of Director Blanchard's effort at Alabama will only depend upon the interest aroused among the students.

Corbett's Daily Letter
 On Great Sport Topics
By JAMES J. CoRBETr


 before had been accustomed. Bvt after a week I found that 1 could walk twice and three times the distance that had been possible at the outset And all the while I was feeling better.
 Walking through the streets of San Francisco and it's suburbs proved a great CT tonic to me than had all the medi- cines that had been gwen to me.
 My boy friends soon took an interest in my jaunts and soon they began to ac- company me on my hikes. Eventually we had a walking club of a dozen members In a few weeks the walks that we took gave to all of US a new color in our cheeks. a new t.n@ie in our veins new strength, new enthusiasm over our stHdies-and the foundation for real health.
 That was the beginning of my athletic career-a beginning not made with the idea or the hope of some day becoming a worlds champion.
 1 have cited my own case and those of my friends. We are not Exceptions. Hun dreds of thousands of others have found n walking, mild exercise as it is a wonderful health makern
 But to acquire real health in walking there are certain rules that must be ob- served. When you walk, throw back your shoulders and walk brskly. Take long 7NAiNS'. i|O btt fHcIcly lplOe dlOHg Swing your arms That action builds up the muscular fibre of your shoulders Deep breathing is a very important thing on such walks.
 When you breathe draw in deeply and always through the nose. Exhale through the mouth. Remember when you are talk ing in breath that your lungs are so big that it is impossible to fill them to 1heir utmost. But try to pack them to as near the limit as is possible The more oxygen you take in the more you exer- else the lungs.
 For those who are inclined to weak lungs or short windedness, I would sug- gest this:
 Take in long breath and hold it un- til you have counted 2 slowly Then ex- hale-with force. Walk along for a while and breathe naturally. Then take an- other long breath and hold it for count of 35. Continue this until you can hold your breath for the count of,1OO or more l know some men who can hold their breath for the count of 200 who before they attempted these breathing exercises. couldn't hold out for more than 25. But by practice they perfected themselves
 II you want to lay the foundation for real health, start with walking and deep breathing.

Health is within the reach of every man who will strive for it But the trou- ble with most of us it that we feel that health can stand up under any strain and that it doesn't have to be ministered to; that good health will remain despite excesses and neglect
 Men devote eight. ten and twelve hours a day in attempting to accumulate wealth. And they devote many other hours in pursuit of pleasure. But. for some strange reason, very few are will ing to give even l5 minutes a day to the observance of few simple health rules that mean practically no sacrifice at all Ever since the time when I learned what seeming miracles physical culture could perform, I preached this one doe Urine:
 Exercise,
 Those who have followed my career from earliest boyhood know that even before I reached my teens I was con demned to an early grave as a victim. of tuberculosis. Excellent physicians told my folks that there wasn't much of q chance for me. Just about then I de cided that fresh air and exercise would puiiu up q Hedltn IOunQatlOn which might enable me to cheat the undertakers
 There was born in me love for ath- letics but owing to my sickly condition my parents were rather opposed to my going in for violent athletics of any sort Knowing that l couldn't stand up under. the strain of strenuous exercising then. sought some form of exercise which was mild, yet beneficial
 And I settled upon walking
 Just about that time Edward Payson Weston was making himself worfa famous as walker. He had come to San Francisco and I had read of his deeds. Weston was enthusiastic in his Endorsement of walking as a health giv- ing exercise. I decided that if walking had done so much for him, that it might do quite a bit for me. So the very next day when left school I did not go home directly, as had been my custom turned the other way and went for a brisk walk I walked for more than an hour and it tired me. But when l got home I felt a whole lot better than for many weeks.
 The next afternoon I walked again. but I did it little more briskly and in. creased the distance. My muscles wer> sore and tired that night because lad put strain on them to which they never

The decline of Derrill Pratt has been baseball during the past couple of years. Derrill was. a elassmate of ours at the University Of Alabama and those of us who used to watch with admira- tion his exploits on the college, dia- mond, who later followed his career in the Southern league and as a mem Der of the St. Louis Browns, are more surprised than anybody at the apparent lack of class the big fellow has shown with the Yankees.
 Commenting on Derrilrs downfall Yankees paid all sorts of players and money to the St Louis Brownsefor Der Till Pratt A year before that he could have been sold for even more. Why, but for war and other upsets Pratt sometime back would nave brought fortune.
 Today when Derrill threatens to retire from baseball, Manager Huggins snaps his fingers, figuratively, and says very well, we'll put youngster at second base who'll make Pratt look
 
 What has happened to Pratt? One of the greatest free hitters in the game, man who covers lot of ground in such easy fashion that he makes the fans think he is lazy, col 1ege man, likable fellow, a hustler in other occupations-in baseball mo- body seems to care.
 Pratt was famous as a football player before he took up baseball and when he made baseball his profession he was famous almost from the day. He still has everything required to make a great ball player--and Miller Huggins wearily says very well, just like tha, when he hears Pratt may not rejoin his team. And the fans echo it.
