Of Mrs. Maude Grafton, Of Belle

be days when I would have to stay
in bed. I would get so nervous, I
was miserable. My aunt told me
to try Cardui. She believed It
would build me up, regulate me and
help the nervous trouble. I knew
after taking half a bottle Of Cardui
that I was better. I kept on taking

Terry Stands Alone

a corner. The boys have their
binoculars trained on men they
want to see, but Terry camou-

the boys can't see Terry. Maybe
they'll see him twice in the cool
of the evening.

"cut" sharply. and the linesmen
couldn't dig in to obtain the nec-

new footwear gave the Giants a
tremendous advantage in the Sec

collapsed completely.
Got the Jump
The New York linemen forced
the going, got the jump on their
foemen.
The "break" in the game was
the forward pass Frankian caught
in the end zone early in the fourth
period after Brumbaugh, in spot
to do so, had failed to intercept
it. The touchdown left the Giants
still three points short of tie
the count was then 13 to 10--but
it was the turn in the tide.
A minute later Strong broke
loose on his 41-yard scoring run,
and after that it was a rout. The
Bears could do nothing with the
ball, and offered no resistance

Waltons who make their rep
In contrast to a very annoy
ing condition of the Potomac
q year ago, there is a scarcity
of japanese chestnut grass. a
marine growth which last sea-
son was so abundant that boat
men lad to stop every so often
to clear the propeller blades
Of the nuisance.
Both Brands Like It
This growth is the chief feed
ing delicacy of two popular
species of ducks, the canvas
back and the mallard.
The former bird. the canvas
backs, dive for their food and
it is their custom to dip for
this Japanese chestnut weed,
eat the roots and fly away.
In contrast. the mallards take
their food from the surface
and they come along and eat
the blades of the japanese
chestnut after the canvas
backs have devoured the roots.
They are exactly like Jack
Spratt and his wife-fat for
one, lean for the other.
The upper Potomac and its
tributaries froze so deep a year
ago this winter that this nat
ural sustenance of those two
types of birds did not survive
the prolonged drop in tempera-
ture.
Thus this year the game has
gone elsewhere in search of a
vegetable diet that abounds in
salt water, not fresh.
Actually, last winter there
was so much grass in the river
huntSmen would have to row
out of their blinds several times
during their period of watchful
waiting to Jake the grass away
from the decoys, which were al
most submerged with the abund-
ance of the growth.
Hunters have reported that
flocks of ducks have approach
ed their former feeding Places
circled high out of range, and.
seeing no food, winged away
before attempting to light.
Standing and Waiting
Tomorrow the baseball mag
mates foregather in New York
for their annual confabS, and,
my friends, gabfesting will likely
be the most predominant busi-
ness transacted.
If you had ever hung around
one of their three-day sessions,
you would never wish to under
take the ordeal again.
You stand, first on one foot
and then the other, trying to in
tercept with wide open ears, the
conversations of the magnates
who ever wear most mysterious
expressions and who seem to
delight in keeping the CORE.
Spondents in suspense.
Food Source Absent
The magnates hide back of
the potted palms, duck off into
the cocktail hooks, Sojourn
around the coffee shops and
otherwise go off in pairs, leaving
the alert newspaper boys quite
agog and out on limb in won-
derment as to what is on their
minds.
And the odd part about it is
that usually there is very little
on their minds. The trades are
few, and far between, and nine
times out Of ten the gray heads
and the bald heads are asking
each other what is the best mu.
Sical comedy show in town.
Oh, those baseball meetings
are a pain in the neck. I'm
