WOMEN CONTINUALLY OvERDO.

This apples to all women, regard
less of caste or color. The ambitious
girl striving for school honors, the
over-worked housewife, the shop girl,
girls in Offices and stores, and the So
ciety woman, all climb too high, over
tax their strength, and what follows?
Nervous prostration, sleeplessness,
backache, headaches, and the newt
able weakness and ailments peculiar
to their sex soon develop, which I'M
less checked bring on more serious
conditions, and which often lead 10
operations. An efficient restorative for
such ailments is Lydia Z. Pnkham's
Vegetable Compound, which is now
recognized from coast to coast as a

SCHAEFER VICTORY
OVER WILLIE. HOPPE
BOON To BILLIARDS
Transfer of Championship
Stimulates Indoor Sport Among
Aspirants for Title.

New York, Dec. S.-The triumph Of
young Jake Schaefer in the worlds
championship 1872 balkline billiard
tournament will do much to stimulate
interest in the sport The continual
supremacy of Willie Hoppe, covering a
period of something like Is years, was
a thing that caused many to turn their
attention to something else. Hopes
long reign was nothing short of mon
opoly in the sport, and his conceded in
vincibility deferred many youngsters
from becoming players.
Now, no doubt, there will be an in
fiux OF new faces in the sport. That
Hoppe was only human, and susceptible
to defeat as the next man, will fire
some youngsters with ambition to come
along and try for the high honors of the
green cloth sport.
The new champion is hailed with joy
by all who have declared billiards to
be the greatest Of indoor games. That
he will rule as long as did Hoppe is a
question. Certainly his coming at this
time will increase interest in the game
this winter, and the various academies
are sure to profit by the turn of events
at Chicago.
OF course, Willie Hoppe has challeng-
ed his conqueror to a match. but it will
not be before next March that he will
play. Whether the champion can come
back and battle to a successful conclu-
sion with the son of one of the most
illustriaus members the billiard game
ever knew, is question. By the most
expert it is considered doubtful that
he will

M|SKE COMES BACK,
AGAIN IS FACTOR IN
HEAVYWEIGHT CLASS
St. Paul Fighter Stood Off
Dempsey and Fulton Be-
fore Injuring Spine.

New York. Dec. 1s.-Billy Miske,
who was factor in the heavyweight
class until he injured his spine, is COM
ing to the front again. Before Miske
had fully recovered his health and
strength he mixed it up with Jack
Dempsey and that afafir set him back
still further. OF late the st. Paul
heavyweight has shown a return to
form.
Not long ago he soundly thrashed
Bill Brennan and now he believes he is
fit to tackle any of the contenders for
the title. Miske centers his aattack up
on Harry Greb. He says that Greb
is all wrong to pretend that no one
cares to face him. Miske has tackled
the Pittsburger three times, winning
twice and getting draw in the other 9TH
engagement. Now he wants to show
New Workers that he is the master of
the Smoky City boxer.
After Tom Gibbons
Miske also would like to take q
crack at Tom Gibbons. He declares he
will put stop to the latter's winning
him before one of the clubs here.
When Miske was good he was a very
capable performer. He possessed lit
tie more skill than the average heavy
weight and he packed a wallop that
was fairly hefty. He stood off Fred
Fulton and Jack Dempsey and beat the
giant Carl Morris in a way that indi-
Gated he would climb high. Then
something happened to him that caus-
ed him to retire from the ring for a
year. Since his return he has been
able to beat such second raters as
Brennan and Greb, but it is probable
he will have to give up all hope Of
ever getting another crack at Demp-
sey.
Lynch Loses Form
Although Joe Lynch seems to have
lost something of the good form he dis.
played last winter. he still is highly
performer. Joe has style
of fighting that keeps the crowd on
edge all the time he is in action so
that whether he wins or loses he re-
tains much of his popularity. If
Lynch had won the decision over Mid
get Smith he would have been matched
with Pete Herman, the winner to
meet Johnny Buff As Herman and
Smith are matched for bout in
Pittsburg, it would be&a good idea to
let Lynch and Herman fight it out in
Madison Square Garden.

Z in Il innings while kieckhefer's high

The game. in the opinion of spec

CORNELL HAS EDGE
ON PREDECESSORS
FOR COAST CONTEST
Gil Dobie, Ithaca Coach, Knows
Western Game From His
Years at Washington.

New York, Dec. 1S.-In the not i'm
probable event that the unbeaten Cor
nell football eleven journeys to the Pa
cific coast to mingle with the Univer-
sity Of California on New Years day,
the big Red team will possess at least
one great advantage which was not en-
joyed by other eastern outfits which
have played at Pasadena compre-
hensive knowledge of the way they play
the game there. Coach Gil Dobie will
see to this and probably no one is bet
ter qualified than Gil to tell the Ithi-
cans all about it.
For years, before he drifted east to
coach, first at Annapolis and then at
Cornell, Dobie was the directing genius
of the University Of Washington's fot-
bali destinies and never lost game.
Success Unhorses Him
He won the sectional championship so
often that there came a time at last
when the faculty, fearing that his great
and growing influence over the student
body might get beyond the constituted
authorities power to control, practi
cally forced him to resign.
During his years at ashington Dobie
saw the game gain it's first real foot
hold on the coast and was an outstand-
ing leader among those responsible for
its subsequent sensational climb into
popular favor. He established ''sys-
TEN" which found eager imitators all
along the coast and which, modified to
meet changing conditions. still enjoys
healthy vogue throughout the far
west.
Now, it seems, Dobie is going to the
coast with an eastern team to rrapule
with the undisputed champions Of the
section over which he used to reign.
For two successive years the University
of California has cleaned up everything
In sight and is hankering to trim team
representative of the best that the
east can produce. Failing in their eff
forts to prevail upon Yale 10 make the
trip, the monarch of the coast have in
vited Cornell to grappe with them and
the indications are that the Ithacans
will accept the nomination.

It is far cry from the present back
to the days when Great Falls was in
the heart Of the cow country, but there
remain 8 few who can recount in story
and, more recently, in pictures to the
days when the plains that stretche ed
out from the city were dotted with
grazing herds watched by cowboys.
Such a one is B. NJ. Bower, promi-
nent among the fictionists, who have
painted the picturesque and now pass
ing west Of frontier days. Because
herself, Bertha NJ. Bower was able to
draw realistically the romantic exist
ence of Montana's pioneers.
Many Great Falls residents will re-
call B. M. Bower and there are many
who knew we'll bud" Cowan, ia
nous wrangler and twister, who later
became her husband. OF later years
few here have followed the fortunes
Of the writer, although it has been
known more or less generally that she
was in California repeating as a seen
ar;o writer her success as a novelist,
while her husband has been playing
western roles for a motion picture
company.
Truth, stranger than fiction, has
brought B. NJ. Bower and her husband
again into the llmellght. 1t IS probable
that another novel founded on fact
more fascinating than Imagination could
conjure will be her next work If this
novel is not written all readers of her
works will feel that she has lost her
greatest opportunity, which involves
not only material for a great novel,
but actual riches for her husband and
herself. Cowan's discovery Of the
famous Lost Nine" at Las Vegas.
Nevada, is the outstanding feature
around which may be woven Bowers
new story or scenario.
In letter to Frank Fogerty Of this
city BILL" Splan, pal Of Bud Cowan,
writes Of Cowan's discovery Of the
mine by the development of which he
expects to make his own and the for
tune of many others.
