Rupp, Tullar and Frazier played good game
in the center of the line considering that it was
their first game. Freddie Garrett played con-
sistent game at tackle smashing thru and
breaking up plays time after time. Reese. the
other tackle, came through their line to block
punts. Captain Boyer from defensive quarter
back position proved quite sensation to the
crowd by his ability to run back punts Brough-
man and G. Lincoln, while little weak in de-
Tense, played good offensive ball while Marty
Hudnall gained consistently thru the line
Su6stltutions Were few except in case of
injuries due to the closeness of the score. The
most serious disaster came in the kick off when
Fox, 185 pound guard suffered wrenched
knee and was removed from the game at the
end of the first quarter
Although this was more or less practice
game, the weaknesses and strong points of the
boys were indicated also the wrinkles neces-
sary to be ironed out in next week practices
were plainly shown.

on the home field. an improved lineup will be
presented and different brand of ball will be
exhibited, although the starting lineup is not

end of propositions near, but they still have
lot to learn.

the time when they can begin this work.

Your Health How to Keep It.
 Causes of Illness
BY DIR. MORRIS F1SHBEIN Editor Journal of the American Medical Association and of Uy-
 gcia, the Health Magazine

l The modern physician is rather 1 intolerant Of attempts to control i disturbances oi the stomach and l inirstines by the regular use of
 patented laxatives and cathartics. 1 Many person has developed a ] cathartic habit by attempting 10 control temporary attacks of slow
 action of the bowels by the ready made preparations that may be 1 had through the drug stores. 1 4 person who suffers with ir-
 regularity should add to his diet 1! q larger quantity than normal Of fluids in the form of water or of buttcrmilk. Tea should be avoid- cd because it contains tannic acid, which may by its astringent ac- ton, counteract the good effect of the larger quantity of liquids. The fluids should be taken not only at meals but in the intervals.
 The diet in such cases should
 contain as large an amount of fat as the patient can take without much disturbance. The amount of vegetables that contain quantities of fibrous tissue should be in- creased. Such vegetables include spinach. peas. cauliflower, cab bage. asparagus. onions. celery and tomatoes.
 lt is possible, however. easily to carry to extremes the eating Of indigestible substitutes that add bulk to the diet. If such masses accumulate In the bowel, the ef- feet is not favorable.
 Fruits may be given freely and also such cereals as oatmeal and cornmeal as we'll as graham, rye. whole wheat and bian breads.
 Among the foods that arc classed particularly as laxative foods are honey, cider. molasses, apples. pears. peaches, oranges, Ilunes. dates and figs.
 It has been estimated that the average American consumption Of ca,hartics represents a total pur- chase of over s5o,oOo.ooo a year. These include not only the irri- tant pills. but also the salts of va rious types and the synthetic preparations.
 Among the relatively harmless substances now taken by the pub lie because they may he kept In he family medicine chest without much danger are mineral oil. which is apparently not damaging to the stomach and intestinal walls and which aids the easy pas sage of material. and the sub stance known as agar-agar, q Japanese seaweed. This substance has the power of absorbing water. forming a bulky mass in the in- testines. distending them and stimulating their movement.

 Some women are excellent wit

Often. judges have been able to tell with- out hesitancy, that testimony be- ing presented is not accurate, only to find on going into it that the wit ness was honestly mistaken in his judgment of an incident he witness ed or on becoming confused either because of his unfamiliarity With court procedure or for other rea- son, allowed himself to give voice to statements exactly the opposite of those made by others in the case.

Children under 10 years have been in the local court, but frequently 1t has been found that the fright they experience on be- ing pushed into the center Of ate traction offsets their desire to hs truthful, with the result that their .o9timony becomes so contradictory 4. to be worthless.
