BEVERLY HILLS, Calf, Novem-
Der S.--Went to see one Of the mod
ern foot ball games, and the thing
that struck an old-timer was that on
every play there would be % differ
ent men facing each other. They
could 60 In and come out, 60 in
and come out. In fact, that's what
tired 'em out, was going in and out
so much.
Imagine base ball If every time
you wanted hit you could send In
Ruth. Every time you wanted
ny ball caught you could send in
Speaker. Ruth could go telephone
and come back and bat again. The
good pitcher could stay out till they
got three men on bases, then come
in and strike 'em out, and then 60
eat hot dogs till three more got on,
then come back in again, or, imagine
a prize fight every time one got hit
send in another fighter. Foot ball
don't need referees: they need United
States census takers. And that's
what is drawing the crowds. Peo-
pie want to see how. many boys
attend each college.

Indianapolis-Those who suffer from
bronchial asthma and hay fever will
be gratifled to learn that at last science
has succeeded in discovering the basic
cause of these two stubborn mRladies.
This discovery disproves the old theory
that asthma Is due solely to climatic
conditions and hay fever entirely to
pollen. The discovery of the real cause
of these diseases has proved that these
are merely aEsravating factors and that
the basic cause lies in the individual
himself
Fortunately for all who suffer from
these diseases q way has also been
found to overcome this basic cause in
the individual instead Of merely treat
Ing the surface symptoms. as has been
done in the past
