paper for Nov. 81, 1911: THE
contest was marred by a mishap
that befell Referee X. In the third
quarter he had a leg fractured
when he was knocked down by
couple Of gridders.
An old gentleman was walking
with his granddaughter near a
football field in a public park when
the ball went out of bounds and
the players came swarming over
him, knocking him down, breaking
an arm and injuring the little girl.
Ill Effects of Game
The danger to spectators may
grow so that the grandstand will
be moved a quarter of a mile from
the playing field and the game will
have to- be observed with binocu-
lars. They will make just as much
sense out Of it because never has
there been evolved a more boring
or stupider game.
| have gone TO games with men
who were stars as recently as 1880
and officials until 1885 and when
asked what such or such a play or
penalty meant, they said they
didn't know, but would read about
it in the papers in the morning.
The rule book is so stuffed with
penalties that it looks like the En-
cyclopedia Britannica.
But, of course, football hardens
men so that they can stand any
thing in after life. Oh, yesl About
half of one per cent of any student
body gets the benefit of this
healthy sport. But think how for
tunate they are. Listen! From
Wyoming newspaper for Oct. Is.
1871: ak, well-known athlete who
has spent two and a half years
recovering from a broken back due
to a football accident, while lean
ing over to tie his shoe lace
snapped his spine again"
In other words, football hardens
you so that even leaning over to
tie your shoe breaks your back.
Doctor Advises Soccer Football
1t may be this year that we have
enough inevitable trouble with
death and manning OF our youth,
50 that high school and college as
sociations will decide to cancel all
football schedules for the season
or even for the duration, which
means at least FIVE years. II so,
predict that they will never go
back TO it. For an autumn athletic
open air contest, they could easily
substitute soccer football good
healthy game, interesting to the
spectators and a thousand times
safer than our ridiculous game"
American Football.

Dads Club to the ranks Of those
who see the dangers. They voted
last year to request school author
tiles not to let any 19-year-old boys
play football.
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
NJ. R.: Does the gallbladder
empty quicker on a full or empty
stomach? Do YOU think person
having this ailment could drink
too much grapefruit juice?
Answer: The gallbladder con-
tains bile and bile is necessary for
intestinal digestion. The gall
bladder does not empty bile into
the intestine until there is. food
present. Fat is the food that
causes the strongest reflex empty
ing of the gallbladder. As soon as
the stomach begins to move food
on into the intestine the gall
bladder begins to emnty. There

when the stomach is full. Grape

or the other, on the gallbladder.
