Crippled by the loss through sick
ness and injury, Of Barney Doherty.
stellar halfback, the New Britain
Roller Hockey quintet bowed in de-
feat against a powerful Fall River
combination at the Stanley Arena
last night. Doherty played for two
periods but, after being II all day
and then receiving an injury during
the game. he was forced to with
draw at the close Of the second per-
iod leaving New Britain open to the
entire force of the Fall River attack
in the third period
The local team showed superiority
over the visitors In the first two per-
iods. Starting off in the game. the
Bay State team opened the scoring
only after 10 minutes OF the fastest
kind Of play when Harkins Gagged a
goal, New Britain followed this
with two before the period ended
and these gave the locals lead of
two to one going into the second
session.
Thompson opened up the second
frame with a pretty goal on pass
from Williams further strengthen
Ing New Britains lead. Then st.
Aubin, the star of the Fall River
attack, laced in two goals to tic the
count at the end of the second
frame.
Doherty withdrew and Perregrin
went into second rush with Thomp-
son at center. This combination
couldn't get to work and Fall River
got three goals making it an easy
victory for the visitors.
New Britain's defeat puts II In
second place in the league standing
and breaks the tie between the To-
calls and Albany. There will be no
game in this city tonight as Albany
is due to appear here tomorrow
night and one Of the most bitter
battles of the entire year is due to
be seen. Providence plays here
Sunday.
The first two periods in last
nights game were as fast as any
seen in this city this year. In the
third. however, due to the failure
of Referee 81 Mcdonald to call
proper fouls, the game developed
into a roughhouse. Brown contin-
ually tackled Williams and pulled
him, showed him and did everything
but murder him during the session.
Williams and Brown both went to
the floor during the encounter and
McDonald's laXity.

VERY NERVOUS,
HEAD kCHED
Virginia Lady Tells How Her
Suffering Was Relieved by
the Help of Cardui.

Roanoke, Va.-"T used TO suffer
awfully from nervous headaches"
Gays Mrs. w. B. Caldwell, OF 523
Nelson St., S. E.. this city.
The back OF my neck would
ache. and I could not bear for
anyone 70 touch my head was
SO nervous that I did not want
anyone in the room. I felt like I
couldn't move ny head. I had
these headaches about once q
month
MY mother was here one day
while I was suffering with one OF
these headaches. and she told me
70 try Cardui. which I did.
"After I had taken one bottle, I
felt better and less nervous. I
kept on taking Cardui. and found
t#at by doing so ! could avoid
those headaches.
Il cannot begin TO tell how much
help Cardui has been to me, and
how much suffering it has saved
me ] am now well and strong"

IYes." Mother answered.

. YES" Mother answered.
Separate the yolk from the white
Of as many eggs as you have" he
commanded.
The whites Of a dozen eggs were
beaten until stiff and then ] sat
in a chair while Mother literally
covered my face, throat. shoulders,
chest and arms with the albumen
until ! felt like a huge. frosted
cake. Then my legs. feet and
thighs were treated in the same
way and I had to stand up until
the 'frosting" was dry, which took
about fifteen minutes.
I shall never forget the blessed
relief that came almost as soon as
the white Of egg touched my skin.
The burning sensation stopped sud-
denly, almost as though q light had
been turned off. long before the
2l5umen had actually dried.
When the white Of egg was dry
! was wrapped In a sheet and tum-
bled into bed and I fell asleep i'm
mediately.
The physician explained to Moth
er that the white Of egg not only
drew out the fire, but formed q
protective covering over the sensi-
tive skin. thus keeping the air from
Irritating II further.
In the morning we sponged off
the white OF egg with cool water
and found that most Of the red
ness had disappeared. The skin
peeled off q few days later but in
large pieces instead Of the more
lengthy process OF taking. SO that
within IN few days all trace Of my
m-isadventure was gone.
OF course, that was a severe case
and the average windburn does not
cover 50 much Of the body nor Is II
SO aggregated. Consequently the
average treatment with white OF
egg is simpler. I've recommended
this treatment before and in many
cases no peel.ng at all results.
II IS SO simple, just smoothing
the beaten white Of egg th.ckly
over the wind-burned area and let
ting II dry. II also is effective for
ordinary sUnburn but most of YOU
have undoubtedly found a satisfac-
tory remedy for that.

BENEFICIAL
RAINS FALL
Growing Crops Over Valley
Aided BY General Pre-
cipitation

A general rain expected to be OF
material benefit to growing crops
v e the Valley fell Monday night,
and the weather forecast saw a
probability Of continued local show
ers Tuesday night. The precipita-
ton was general over the whole OF
south Texas.
All Rio Grande river stations re-
ported rain with Mission breaking
a record of over a years duration.
Rio Grande City also received a
heavy downfall, recording LAT
inches. Mission obtained 2.58
inches. San Benito recorded so
and Brownsville .85.
Shippers and farmers agreed
Tuesday that despite the fact that
the rain would probably delay ship
ments of beans and potatoes for
several days, the benefit done grow
ing crops would be of great value
to the Valley.
The rain was of a warm nature,
which is the best Kind for the pro-
duce. The lowest temperature re-
corded in Brownsville Monday
night was u degrees as compared
to 70 at 8 a.. m. Relative warm
nights have been the order for
some time, and this also is an aid
to the crops. Cotton especially Is
expected to be given impetus by
the precipitation.
The Rio Grande showed slight
rises at all points in the Valley
except Brownsville. The rains also
hit the watersheds of the San
Juan and Salado rivers in Mexico
and it is believed that the Rio
Grande will continue to rise from
above Mission down during the next
IL to "a hours.
The river is now in a low stage,
ranging from -0.4 at Laredo to 8.8
at Rio Grande City.
