GOLFERS TO VISIT ENGLAND
Plan Conceived to Send Large Team
Abroad With Idea of Capturing
British Open Title.

The improbabiIity of an American
winning the British open championship,
when only one or two make the at
tempt, was very forcibly brought home
last season. However, the idea has
been conceived that If a team of from
twelve to twenty of the best profess
SIGNALS in this country were to attempt
this task, the chances of ultimate vic
tory would be greatly enhanced, and
in an international team match they
would undoubtedly do great credit to
this country. Golf Illustrated is pre-
pared to raise sufficient funds, by pop
ular subscription, from the different
golf clubs throughout the United States,
to make this possible.

TIMELY HINTS BY sETLIFFE
Illinois State AdIutant Offers Eleven
Commandments Which He Has
Found Useful.

Eleven commandments In reverse
English" have been found useful by
William Q. Setliffe, state adjutant of
the American Legion in Illinois, in
building up the Legion's program for
that state They are as follows:
1. Don't attend meetings if 1t rains.
You might get your feet wet, and you
are not in the physical condition you
were at the environments, or at Brest.
2. Don't think of going if it is a
warm, moonlight night. There are lots
of other things you could do that sort
of a night. FIR instance-Oh, roll
your own idea.
3. If you should attend meeting,
find fault with everything that's go
ing on. If your officers are showing
pep, demand to know in open meeting
what political offices they intend run
ming for.
4. Never accept an office in the post.
Most offices have duties connected
with them, and 1t is much easier to
criticize the way the other fellow is
trying to handle the job.
5. Get sore at the organization If you
are not appointed on committee.
6. If you are appointed, don't both
err about attending the committee
meetings. They often are bore.
Z. During discussion of motion
keep still. After it has passed, tell
some one why they should have voted
it down.
s. Forget TO pay your dues. The
post can get along awhile longer with
out your contribution. ..
9. Don't try TO get new members.
George will do it.
10. Don't do any work on post af-
fairs, or any more than is absolutely
necessary. When other members roll
up their sleeves and give unselfishly
of their time and ability to help things
along, get up on your hind legs and
howl that the post is being run by
clique.
II. Remember, you owe no duty or
obligation to a sick or disabled buddy
your own personal comfort comes
first.

Thousands Have Kidney
Trouble and Never
Suspect It
Applicants for Insurance Often
Rejected.

Judging from reports from druggists
who are constantly in direct touch with
the public, there is one preparation that
has been very successful in overcoming
these conditions. The mild and healing
influence of DR.. Kilmer's Swamp-Root is
soon realized. It stands the highest for
its remarkable record of success.
An examining physician for one of the
prominent Life Insurance Companies, in
an interview on the subject, made the as
tonishing statement that one reason why
so many applicants for insurance are re-
jected is because kidney trouble is so
common to the American people, and the
large majority of those whose applica-
tons are declined do not even suspect
that they have the disease. It is on sale
at all drug stores in bottles of two sizes,
medium and large.
However, if you wish first to test this
great preparation send ten cents to DR..
Kilmer 4 Co., Binghamton, N. Y, for
sample bottle. When writing be sure and
mention this paper.-Ady.

Two Great Rivals.

Willie Hopes superiority as mas
ter of balkIine billiards was never
more clearly demonstrated than dur
ing the final round of the national
championship tournament at the Hotel
Aston. In the past he has invariably
far outclassed his rivals and in so do

himself, but the contrast between the
finesse of play has not been as force

In ball-to-ball billiards, or, in other
words, as shot maker, Welker Coch-

who opposed him, proved almost the
equal of Hoppe, but that is not the
real foundation of balkline playing. Ii
