SWEET REVENGE FOR
JIMMY FITZPATRICK

Behind the defeat of Yale by Boston
college, made possible by a field goal
kicked by Jimmy Fitzpatrick, lies a
rather interesting little story. 1t seems
that a couple of years ago, upon grad
uating from the high school at Meri-
den, Conn.,, Jimmy planned to enter
Yale and to take part in athletics at
that university. Johnny Mack, the Yale
trainer, looked the boy over one day,
however, and remarked that he would
never make an athlete. Mack's hastily
rendered judgment caused Fitzpatrick
to change his mind about going to Yale
and he entered Boston college. The
blow he delivered to the BULLDOG
pride, therefore, brought great delight
to the heart of the Meriden boy.

A STRANGER to Him.

Nine-year-Old Fred went to visit his
auntie for a week. The first night
came and auntie showed him to his
room, making the remark that she
hoped he was not afraid to sleep in
a room by himself. He answered that
he was not. Then she kissed him and
went back downstairs. But about half
an hour later she heard him call.
"Why, honey, are, you afraid?" she
asked when she came into the room.
mo, Pm not exactly afraid when
I'm acquainted" came his muffled lit
tie answer from under the covers, "but
you see 1 never saw this room before
today" ....

"CAN | BE
CURED?" SAYS
THE SUFFERER

How often have you heard that sad
czS from the victims of disease. Per-
haps the disorder has gone too far for
help, but oftener it is just in its first
stages and the pains and aches are only
natures first cries for help. Do not
despair. Find out the cause and give
nature all the help you can and she
will repay you with health. Look after
the kidneys. The kidneys are the most
overworked organs of the human body,
and when they fail in their work Of
filtering and throwing off the poison
that constantly accumulates in the sys-
tenn, everything goes wrong. GOLD
MEDAL HARLEM Oil Capsules will
give almost immediate relief from kid
ney and bladder troubles and their kim
dred ailments. They will free your
body from pain in short order. But be
sure to get GOLD MEDAL. Look for
the name on every box. In three sizes,
sealed packages. Money refunded il

To visit properly requires supreme
