Escaped Convict
Caught Breaking
into Newton Home

Boston. Dec. 16-Harry BerWin
dropped in his old cell in the state
prison tonight, with shcepish grin
the only tell-tale trace of half
days attempt to gain his freedom.
An All too brief eight hours of liberty
followed his daring escape in a pack
ing case from the institution this
morning. The aroused suspicious of
a young woman, who marked his ac-
tinns near a Newton residence,
brought mis- capture late in the after
noon, and his wardens led him back
to prison.
Berv:in's getaway was in big
crate into which he had fastened
himself. This was swung out from
the third story of the prison and
loaded on a truck which bore it away.
While it was being carried through
the heart of the city Berwin forced
his way out of it and vanished.
About dusk this evening. when his
jailers had about given up hope of
railing him. the Newton police sent
word that the convict had been cap
tured ina house there into which he
had broken, and the prisoner was
returned.

MUST CHANGE so
RULES IN SHIFT

New York, Dec. 16.-The most inn
portant amendment to the Major
League code adopted to date during
the week of conferences, was the
curtailing of the world series games
from nine to seven. This change will
involve much work for the advisory
council. for, according to President
Heydler nearly fifty rules, pertain
ing to the series, will have to be
changed. These changes will he
formulated by the council within the
next two months and submitted to
the ma or leagues for ratifica ton
at the annual spring schedule meet
ings.
President Heydler, in considering
the feature of the conference. said:
Il consider the ready acceptance OF
Judge I.ands' deciding vote on this
question a complete demonstration of
the satisfa ctory and harmonious
working of the new agreement of the
the meeting. the American League
favored the reduction. while the Ma
tional League s a unit voted for the
retention of the nine games plan.
Judge Lands was thus forced to cast
the deciding vote and his decision
was Immediately accepted as salts
factory and final by both groups.
when it is considered that by re-
ducing the number of games from
nine to seven the club owners, the
leagues and the commissioners Of
fee are the heaviest losers from q
financial standpoint, the prompt sup

was in reality that of the spectator.
completely demonstrated the success
of the baseball reorganization p)aR
adopted year ago.
From the players standpoint the
monetary loss is not so great, for
they will share in the proceeds of the
first four games, presumably, as in
the past when seven games composed
the series. The change, of course.
will prevent new attendance and gate

RAvACES OF COMMON
COLDS ARE APPALLING

disease, excepting tuberculosis and
heart disease. Many cases of pneu-
monia begin as common colds, which
have been neglected.
Persons of hereditary tubercular
tendency should guard against colds
and should take proper measures to
stop their progress with the first
symptoms. 1t is evident, therefore.
that instead of being a trivial affec-
ton the common "cold" must be
elassed as serious mersce to public
health.
Kurokol, the new scientific cold
remedy, which has been ACCOMPLISH
ing such remarkable results, proba-
bly, provides the safest, surest and
quickest, as we'll as the most praeti-
cal, treatment for colds yet discov-
cred.
This new remedy, according to the
statements of the thousands who
have used it, is almost magical in it's
effect. The first dose usually stops
the tendency to sneezing and cough
ing ana relieves the feeling Of dis
comfort, and the second and third
doses usually suffice to stop the prog
ress of cold altogether. Only one
bottle is generally sufficient to break
up the most obstinate cold, no mat
ter of how long standing.
The great superiority of Kurokol
over the ordinary treatment hereto
fore prescribed is due to the fact that
it Is a combination tratment and
acts as an antipyretic. expectorant,
laxative and antiseptic, thereby re-
! moving the cause, while many other
remedies relieve the symptoms only
momentarily.
