There is exceptionally good material
this year for a winning team, but the
material is new, which means that it
needs support. A large crowd to
cheer for the boys and support them
through good and bad luck is one way
we can expect to have victories. Come
out Saturday and boost the boys in
this first game.

hard to get in trim for their first bat
tie on the local gridiron Saturday
when they meet the fast Cakes team
The students at the High School are
looking for their team to take the first
game of the season and will be out
three hundred strong to boost the
boys to victory. It is said the candi
dates at the Teachers College have

Every House Numbered In India.

Numbering houses is an important
preliminary TO demonstrating in India.
Nearly II months in advance of the
census date all the villages In the en-
pire are scheduled, and every house
is numbered. In some provinces the
census authorities determine in adj.
vance the size of the number and
specify the proportion of red ochre
and oil, or other ingredients, forming
the substance with which the number
IS to be painted.
Racial prejudices have to be con
sidered. In Hyderabad objection Is
made TO tar because Of the color, while
In other districts the natives consider
red ochre unlucky, and If IL is used
they erase the figures. In the case
of huts made Of leaves, and also when
objection Is made on account of caste
restrictions TO the numbering of houses
by enumerators, the numbers are
painted on bits of tin, tiles, or pots,
and are usually treated with great
respect by the natives.

CADORNA EXPLAINS DISASTER
Former Italian Commander in Chief
Says Orders at caporetto
~ Were Disobeyed.

Rome, Italy.-The book Of Lieut..
Gen. Count Cadorna, former com.
mander in chief of the Italian army.
which is entitled 1.-THE War on the Ital.
ian Front has just appeared. 1t is
a history of Italy's preparations for
the war and the development of the
plans until after the Caporetto disas-
ter. 90 :
General Cadorna says that when the
European conflict broke the Italian
army was inadequately equipped, both
as to quality and quantity of men and
material. He says that from June,
1915, he had recommended unity of
action by the allies, but that this was
obtained only three years later.
General Cadorna attributed the Cap
oretto disaster, when the Austrians
pushed back the Italians from the
1sonzo front, chiefly to the fact that
his orders to place all the artillery on
the defense were disobeyed. If the
artillery had been withdrawn on the
offensive, General Cadorna says, the
disaster would have been prevented,
or limited But, General Capello, he
declares, did. not entirely withdraw
the guns, because he planned coun-
ter-offensive, which Cadorna disap-
proved. He also says the withdrawal
from the Pave was accomplished by
the Italians themselves, the allies CIV
ing them only moral support.

master to announce that he will
promptly veto such a proposition, and
Keep Old Timber at home.
Old Timber furnished much NATE
rial for Governor Taylors speeches
during his campaign. The governor
always gave a graphic recital of Old

Old Timber is being well cared for
IN good home in east Tennessee and

last word from the governor on the
SUBJECT. He would not be contented
IN the city. He wants to be where he
can occasionally survey the lofty
mountains over whose heights he has
many times chased the fox with the
rest of the pack making music at his
heels. Old Timber is nine years old,
and is too old to run now, but he re-
members and often dreams of his past
achievements" .
IF you have never heard Old Linn
per in full cry" the governor contin-
ues, growing more eloquent, "you have
never heard music. He is gifted in
every note, and in a chase, at one
time or another, he will let you have
all OF them. You could distinguish
Old Limbers voice from the rest Of
the pack eight miles away. Honest !!
THAT dog never lied to, me in his
life. He has never been known to
yelp on a cold trail. Whenever the
voice of Old Timber is heard, every
body knows that there is fox

FIND NEW LOCAL ANESTHETIc.
Substitute for Cocaine Eliminates Ne.
cessity for. Using Habit
Forming Drug.

Urbana, Hl.-The University Of n
Elinois announced that it has developed
new local anesthetic, useful as
substitute for cocaine and in many
ways superior to cocaine, which will
eliminate the necessity Of using q
habit forming drug which causes so
much trouble to physicians and to the
government. The work was accom-
plished in chemical laboratories by
Prof. Roger Adams and DR.. Oliver
Kamm.
Thls new product has, by practical
tests by Doctors Suker and Cradle,
eye specialists in Chicago, and in
several hospitals and clinics In the
country proved useful as a substitute
for cocaine in local anesthesia Of a
mucous membrane.
A list of the valuable properties Of
this new substance as compared to
cocaine, announced by the university,
are these:
This product may be sterilized by
heating its solution to boiling point
with no danger Of decomposition,
whereas cocaine cannot be sterilized
by boiling the aqueous solution.
A per cent aqueous solution may be
instilled into the eye and anesthesia is
produced so rapidly that the operation
can be performed at once. From four
to five minutes are required where
cocaine is used. $3.50.
The new substance produces less ir-
rltation than cocaine, it produces no
dilation of the pupil and it does not
dry up the secretions of the eye. It
has antiseptic as well as anesthetic
properties. 2
Procaine, formerly known as novo-
calne has, up to this time, been used
extensively in place of cocaine where
the aqueous solution is injected.
Where the anesthesia must be caused
by surface action on the mucous mem
brane in eye, nose and throat opera
lions, however, novocaine is ineffec-
tive and cocaine is generally used. 1t
seems now that this new product of
the University Of Illinois will sup
plant all such uses of cocaine.
