Snappy Basket Ball Game at Arnory
Hall Won by Tallahassee Players.
BY Tom johnson.

Fighting against great odds from the
start OF the game, the girls from high
went down in defeat yesterday after
noon before the onslaught OF their more
worthy opponents from Tallahassee, to
the tune of 80 to Fl.
The collegians exhibited an attack
that was too great for the high" girls,
as they We're excellent at passing, and
IN Olsen they had forward who
rarely missed a shot when she got the
ball. Vaughn at center was the out
standing passers for the collegians, and
her great work alone was largely re-
sponsible for getting the ball down to
Olsen, who had q way of dropping the
ban in all by herself The local girls
were not far behind when it came to
passing, and IL they had been able to
get the ball more they probably would
have tied the score, as il was close,
and, at one period of the first quarter,
the Maroon and White exhibited an
attack that was superior to that of the
collegians, but this was short lived, as
Rays guarding became in evidence
again and stopped the comeback.

tant events In their whole lives. For
the average man does not intend to
build more than one home during that
time and he wants, If possible. to
hive a home for his children when he
passes into the Great Beyond. In the
planning OF this new home there are
many factors. to be considered, but
the two Important considerations are
durability and comfort. A home pos
sessing these two qualities is bound
to prove successful. Too many home
builders have overlooked the basic
foundations Of a real home In their
zeal to get something freakish and
different. They wanted a show place,
and as q result lost sight OF the true
character Of the home. A few years
later they have regretted their action
for the so-called show place was merely
a shell, and soon became the worse for
wear and tear. 1t is only logical
and sensible that the man of moderate
means should try to get the best
there is for his money. 1t can be at

ONCE GREAT INDOOR SPORT
Roller Skating Was at the Height Of
its Popularity in This Country
In the e0s.

The roller skate was patented In
France as early as 1919 Since that
time scarcely a year has passed with
out the recording Of some improve
ment. Plimpton's improvement con-
sisted In so gearing two pairs CT
wheels that they would "cramp' when
the footplate was canted to either
side, and thus cause the skate to move
on a curved line. Several years
elapsed before the value of this inven-
ton was recognized generally. In the
meantime the inventor was busy max
Ing improvements and taking out 9th
er patents and in 1874 had brought
the skate practically to its present
condition.
The device of "cramplng" the wheels
secured the initial success Of roller
skating. The earlier inventions were
crude affairs compared with the mod
ern appliances. About 1864 the mania
for roller skating appeared in England.
Two years later the thinking" fever

Thousands Have Kidney
Trouble and Never
Suspect 1t
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. 1t stands the highest fol
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 50
common to the American people, and the
large majority of those whose applea-
tons are declined do not even suspect
that they have the disease.
DR.. Kilmer's Swamp Root 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 & Co., Bingham
ton, N. Y, for a sample bottle. When
writing be sure and mention this paper.

SAVE BEST OF GARDEN SEED


Seeds which have been grown and
carefully saved should be well labeled
and stored or all the previous iuttvr'
goes for nothing, say experts Of the
United States Department Of Agricul-
ture. Cloth bags are the best contain
ers for large seeds. such as peas, beans
and corn. They should be used also for
larger quantities Of small seeds, but
for smaller lots paper envelopes, made
at home or purchased. are fairly salts
factory, but usually are not gummed
so as to close completely, and If han
died carelessly small seeds may sift
out Of them.
Correct labelling is of paramount i'm
portance. Every envelope or con-
tainer should show the kind and vari-
ETY. of seed, the date, including month
and year when harvested, and the
place where grown. For the cloth
bags a slip of paper bearing all this
information should be inserted with
the seed. 1t is very convenient also
to have n tag on the outside of the
bag, but on no account should the In
ner label be omitted, because of the
liability of loss of the outside tag.

MERCHANT TELLS OF

II have a customer here who was In

siclans and they gave her out. One
bottle OF Tanlac got her up, on the
second bottle she commenced keeping
