a New Nork physician is sending
nervous and depressed patients to
the public Ii, airy instead Of 10 the
drug store. He is surprised that his
treatment has aroused comment. He
may well be- for what he is doing
for others is merely what countless
persons acquainted with the sooth-
ing or inspiriting powers of good
literature have long been doing for
themselves. Surely there are few
bodily ills of ordinary experience
that cannot be relieved by a good
book. while there remains capacity
for understanding.

Can Dempsey evade this tax by

with Iowa only eight inches from
Chicago's goal. Graham. the Chicago
quarterback, had put his team in the
lead by drop kick from the 2e-yard

back, fumbled on his own 40-yard

the Illinois territory, reached the 40

field goal. Harley let PiXley try a

of Illinois broke through, blocked it
and the ball went spinning back
down the field, with two Illinois men
and one Ohio man after it. An Hill

but lost the ball on downs.
Harley punted back into Illinois
territory. Then began the passing
mania, Ohio finally intercepting and
Harley again kicking the ball near
the Illinois goal. With darkness COM

could lose. A couple of forward
passes put the ball into Ohio territory

within striking distance. Here was
an oppor tunity for Ralph Fletcher, but
he was on the side lines injured. His
brother Bob, however. came to the
rescue and kicked a field goal.
