WE AND NERVOUS A Condition Due to Watery/ +tlood— Easily Corrected Through the Use of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. Thin, pale girls lack the power of resistance to disease that rich, red blood gives. Nervous breakdown is the result of thin blood. So is indi- gestion, headaches, backaches and many other troubles. Girls suffering from thin, impure blood need just the 'help Dr. Williams' Pink Piller can give. For many years Dr. Williams' Pink Pills have been a world-famous rnlood-builder and nerve restorer. They actually make new, rich, red blood which imparts new vigor and fife to all- the -organs .of the body. Their first effect is usually shown by an improved appetite; then the spirits *revive and restlessness at night gives way to (health restoring sleep. Fur eufferers from anaemia, nervousness, general weakness or physical exhaus- tion Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are a re- storativ'e of the utmost value. This is proved by the experience of Miss Sarah A. IMcEachern, R. R. No. 3, Brule, N.S., who says:—"About three years ago I -became very weak and iaervous. I had pains in my side and back. I also had frequent pains in the back of my head and neck. 1 was' very pale and very weak. I had attacks of nervous irritability and at times I was so nervous that life seem- ed .hardly worth living. While in this condition a friend strongly advised me bo take Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. 31 'i began taking these pills and used them for about two months with the result that there was such an im- provement in my condition that friends would ask me what I was tak- fing, and I was only too glad to tell them it was Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. 7[ atm now enjoying good health and am glad to give this statement for the benefit it may be to some other sufferer." You can get these pills from any sanedicine dealer or by mail at 50 cents a box from The Dr. Williams' Medi- cine Co., Brockville, Ont. I'1 1PflV1tNG SPIRIT WINS FOOT ALL GAMES They •take their football a good deal snore aerirously in thnebigg•colleges in the United States than we do here, so seriously indeed that fears have been exp essed that the whole .educational (system suffers from it, and the his- toric college is becoming a mere quaint background . for a football team, professional tai all but name. Indeed, we infer froman article by Jame M. Neville in the Philadelphia Public Ledger, there is no American sport, including baseball and prize- lghting, where cinch intense and or- ganized effort is put forward to score a victory as in a game of football. In a prize fight, of course, the oppon- ents and their seconds are doing ev- erything before and during the en- ceounter to win, and their backers and acnritere are, as they say, pulling for pi ftA C IK AC' r1- ti L 5 1i trFel ' thein in many . states and cities. In baseball the whole team is undoubted- ly trying its utmost to win. tut in neither of theae sports is the prelim- inary business of keying up the glad intoes by every trick ;known, to lshysi- Cal instructors and psychologists so keenly studied and so enthusiastically applied. As . Grover Cleveland and Alexander said, a world series game is just a i her .ball game and as the manager of the 'Cardina'ls said, the winning is strictly up to the players. Themanager is not out there fielding or batting. He, isonly hoping, and in a sense directing. It is very different with football. A game between Army and Navy or Harvard and Yale or California and Stanford is not just a football game. It is rather •the climax of a career, the supreme event in the lives of those taking part in it If college teams were playieg every day of the week over a stretch of six months then a game would be just a game. But while a football team may play half, a dozen or ten games in a seas- on, there is, as a rule, one game or at most two upon which everything seems to depend. Defeat means dis- grace and misery. Victory means in- expressible joy and national honor. That in any event is the view that the coaches seek to instil in the minds of the players. The coach in football is undoubtedly more important than the manager in 'baseball. He bas more to do with victory or defeat. That is why in American football the great,' teams. are 'built up around 'a great coach, and not as in baseball around a great etcher and a great second 'baseman. Speaking ,generally, the first string tempt of . the great . universities, in- cluding West Point and Annapolis, differ little in speed and strength and manual skill. Now and then, of course, a genius will appear like Jim Thorpe, the Indian, Red Grange, Ted Coy of Yale, and Eckersall, of Chi- cago. But great football teams are not made up of great football play- ers but by great coaches. These in- stitutions can always select from the thousands of students all keen to dis- tinguish themselves eleven men good enough to meet any other eleven in the country. What is the thing that makes one team among a dozen ap- parently equally good, by all the dope, capable of tearing throught the others and making them look second -class It is undoubtedly the spirit that the -skilled coach is able .to infuse the players with. When they are in the peak of physical perfection, there re- mains the fighting spirit which, after all, decides nine football games out of ten. One day Yale will have the spirit and will trample on Harvard. On the next meeting some mysterious electric current will be burning in the Harvard team and Yale w},11 be what unimaginative writers call "'humbled." I•t is a mental condition that the coach seeks to create, and he can no More create it for every game of the 'season than a horse can be trained to win a Derby every week in the year. Sometimes this spirit is produeed by accident. For example, last fall on the eve of the game between Yale and Princeton, the Yale authorities decided that Bruce Caldwell, the star of the Yale team, was not eligible be- cause he was backward in his classes. The decision to withdraw him came like a thunderbolt to the Yale sup- porters. It seemed that the decision made the difference between victory and defeat. Yet, curiously enough, it had the effect of sending the crippled Yale tear, out on the field so consum- ed with a feeling of injustice and ill - usage' that it rose to unexpected heights and swept the Tigers off their eet. The notion that a team is in - .'rid by oratory to the effect that 'it must give ite best for dear old alma mater is said by Bill Roper, of Prince- ton, to be a delusion. Players may be willing to risk neck or limb for the old college, hat they do not want( to talk about it, when they are sober, still less do they want anyone else to talabout it. The effect of such •maudlin addresses to a fighting foot- ball team would be much the same as the effect of the appeal to the patriot- ism of the boys oaf Westward Ho, as described in one of Kipling's stories. The ,glib, orator merely produced the effect of making every one of the boys ashamed of whatever patriotic feel- ings he had hitherto cherished. The University. of Pennsylvania has found that a good way to get the men in the proper mental state for a cru- cial game is to take the Varsity squad . to sone quiet spot fair from the cam - tis to 'spend the days "-immediately 4.

'">illhis ex- plains most of her husbands, but leaves unaccounted for the delusion that she can sing, which she is cap- able of e<n-innnunicatiug to other people who are;in love with her or are stone deaf. She arrived in the United States' in. 1915 with a few notes of introduction from Anna Old. She was supposed to be a singer. Be- cause of her charming personality she made friends fast, and many of them. were prepared to venture some money to launch her on a career, but as she said these admirers were so little to her liking that 'she feared to accept a dinner from one of them. She was given three or four chances in minor roles 'but the result was the same. Her singing, as a sports writer on an evening paper once said when sent in an emergency to report a musical entertainment, was fierce. Her fail- ure affected her nerves and so, she consulted Dr. Joseph Fraenkel, of Chicago, a leading neurologist. He fell in love with her because she look- ed so much like a girl he had loved in an earlier generation, and they were married. Dr. Fraenkel sympathized with her ambition to 'become a great singer and devoted considerable sums of money in the hope that this miracle might he vouchsafed. The marriage seemed to be a happy one, but was soon terminated by the death of the elderly groom. He left his wife about $200,000 which his brothers tried to recover on the ground that since he t'hough't his wife was a singer he was evidently incapable of testamentary responsibilities. But Ganna got the money and returned to Europe where she thought she would have a better chance of beginning the career that showed symptoms of bogging down. In 1920 she was, returning, and on shipboard met Alexander Smith Coch- rane, at the time the wealthiest bach- elor in the United States, and report- ed to he girl -proof, and his friend Harold iMc Cormick. Mr. McCormick has since admitted that he fell in love with Canna at first sight, but as he was then the husband of the daughter of John D. Rockefeller, be was con- scious of being somewhat handicap- ped. As things then were Cochrane seemed the more eligible husband and in truth it was not long 'before they were married. Mr. McCormick says that he *as never so shocked and crushed in his life as when the news was broken to ^ him. But the mar- riage was not a happy one, partly be- cause Mrs. Cochrane persisted in her hallucinations about singing. She had previously entered into a contract with the Chicago Opera Company to sing, and 'Insisted upon going through with it, much to her husband's dis- gust. On the eve of her debut, she gave way to hysteria and fled from the scene. Her lawyer subsequently ex- plained that her hysteria was due to nervousness and the nervousness was the nefarious work of the unsympa- thetic Cochrane who by this time was bitterly rueing his lost title of wealthiest American bachelor, and wondering if he might not stage a come -back effort. In the meantime, Mr. McCormick, whose wife had left him, and was supposed to be studying the mysteries of the subconscious under the eminent Jung in Vienna, was free to tell a charming woman what he thought of her and he loy- ally 'boosted Canna at the Opera where he was influential. This, he explained, was because she was the wife of his friend the erstwhile bach- elor. In 1922, the Cochranes were divorced after a great deal of acri- mony had been, displayed on both sides. The settlement made Gann, wealthy. But this was not important since two months later she became the wife of Mr. McCormick. The new husband was thoroughly dedicated to the proposition that his wife was a greater operatic singer than Mary Garden, and he proceeded to establish it by lavish outlay. For several years now, all efforts to have Ganna 'acknowledged as a singer by the critics has failed. Again and again elaborate preliminaries to her gorgeous debut have been ruined by an inappropriate attack of hysteria. It has been asserted and not effect- ively denied that Mrs. IVIelSnienick has toured the sticks under ah assumed mune trying to acquire that stage conlfidence which ehe believes is all that stands in her way. °nee in Cuba she performed so raucously flint the music -loving Cubans demanded their money back and were given it to avoid bloodshed. Her continued failure has also xjaaed unfavorably upon her domestic relations and there have been stories that she is likely to leave "Mr. 'McCormick who has proved a frost ns an Impressario, though a dean as a critic of tinging and general aged.
