As a result of the numerous fatall is and the agitation which they have several colleges have dis teams, and many of the hools in various parts of have been forced to give vn University, of Wash University of Virginia, the unntea States Military Academy at West Poin't and St. Mary's College, in Kansas, were among those which suspended the playing of the game. A meeting of the Board of High School Principals in Washington, D. C., resulted in the casting out of all the games scheduled for this season, and the game will not: be resumed next year unless the rules are changed radically. The Faculty of Loyola University, at Baltimore, also canceled all the games for the remainder of the year, and tle Scho6l -Board at Bellefon taine, Ohio, decided to rule out all contests following the death of one pIayer there. The'State of Virginia will probably be the one which will give the heav iest blow to football. Following the death of one of the State University players' and the injury of several of her youths within the State, a bill wiHl be introduced into the Legislat ure at the next session to forbid all such contests in the future. It is ex pected that this bill will be passed. Already the City Council of Norfolk and Portsmouth have forbidden all contests within the city limits. The death which attracted the most attention throughout the country, and which revived to a large extent the movement for' the suppression of football, was that o~f Cadet Byrne, a West Point cadet. Byrne was an upper classman, twenty-two years old, when he was fatally injured dur ing the contest with Harvard Univer sity. His neck was broken during a mass play, and despite the fact .that every attempt was made to save his life, he died soon after. The interest in this accident was so great that expressidas of opinion were asked from the heads of nearly every institution of learning in the country. Some of them saw in it proof that/the game should be abolished, while oth ers urged changes in the rules. Some, however, looked upon it as an unfor tunate .accident and declared that the game as it is now played could not be made less dangerous without tak ing away the exciting features. The deaths in football to date have resulted in more agitation against football this fall than at any time since the present playing rules were adopted. The representative- 'varsity coaches of the country realize that something must be done, some new rules adopted, by which- the risk of death or injury must be greatly re duced. The winter session of the Football Rules Committee in New York this year is sure to be of unu sual. length, and will result in some rather wholesale and radical changes following a discussion in which the sponsors' for football in every section of the country are pretty sure to pair. ticipate. The new rules diminish the nup - ber of fractured ribs, but at the ~bt of other' broken bones. Cost of Campaign in New ?' York Dropped $5(0,000. Albany. N.

Disser ting View on Prof. Cooley's 'Analysis of a Newspaper. Prof. Chares H. Cooley, in his re cent 'tolume on ".Social Organiza tion,'' has discovered- that the mod ern newspaper is the " organized gos sip" in th- actu. process of nervous commr.riea:iun .n the new social Leviathan. Admitting that the news paper's ;..ssential function is a "bul letin of important news -and a medium for the interchange of ideas," he adds: The bulk of its matter, however, is best described by the phrase organ ized gossip. The sort of intercourse that people formerly carried on ac cross-road stores or over the back fence has now attained the dignity of print and 4n imposing system. That the bulk of the contents of a newspaper is of the nature of gcs sip may be seen byr noting three traits >which together seem to make a fair definition of that word. It is copious, designed to occupy, without exerting, the mind. -It consists most Iy of personalities and appeals to superficial emotion. It is untrust worthy-except upon a few matters of moment, which the public is lkely to follow up and verify. These traits any one who is curious may substan tiate by a study of his own morning journal. Allowing the difference in the ways different readers might classify dif ferent items, and also for variations from the journalistic mean which the pa-per in question represents, it would seem that the bulk of the contents of a newspaper is very incorrectly de scribed by the term "organized gos sip," at least if gossip is used in our professor's disparaging sense. As to the charge of lack of veracity, pro fessional modesty imipels us to be re ticent. But if the reader, In a quiet hour, will recall the information he acquires from other sources than the daily papers upon matters of mo ment, we doubt not that he will think better of the hasty verdict which brings the accuracy of the newspa per under the condemnation of habit ual untruth. And as for the last characteristic of gossip, that "it is copious, designed to occupy, without exerting. "the mind," and thereby, as -Prof. Cooley implies, seeming worse "for yenturing to share with litera ture the use of the 'printed word." we venture in diffidence to suggest that some very tolerable literature is of the same character. Homer, or Boswell's Johnson. we presume. is lit erature, or even .Stevenson's "Virgini bus Puerisque." but none of them, 'by his leave, exerts .the mind to any un comfortable degree.-New York Even. ing Post Loads of Harvest Hands. A procession of ten 'passenger trains, each of them from eighteen to twenty coaches in length, pulled out from the vicinity of Montreal and Toronto last Thursday and filed at top speed around .the great curve of Lake Superior on the C. P. R., head ed for the West. Laden 'with a cos 1mopolitan mixture of 6.000 harvest hands, tihey arrived in Winnipeg be rween Saturday at noon and Sunday, at noon. People in 'the vicinity of the depot knew that they arrived, that is, those who have not 'been deaf since in fancy, for the advent of every un shaven and begrimed 'battalion was announced by a 'wild cheer that eman eted from th~e first coaches and spread into a deafening roar as the train pulled into the train shed and the following coaches took up the cry of -pent up relief and gladness.

Coffee Is such a secret worker that It is not suspected as the cause of sickness or -disease, but there is a verysure way to find out the truth. A lady in Memphis gives an Inter esting experience her husband had with coffee. It seems that he had been using it for some time and was an Invalid. g The physician In charge shrewdly suspected that coffee was the "Worm at the root of the tree," and ordered It discontinued with Instructions to use Postum rsgularly in its place. The wife says: "We found that was the true remedy for his stomach and heart troublb, and we would have gladly paid a hundred times the amount of the doctor's charge when we found how wise his judgment was. "The use of Postum instead of cof fee was begun about a year ago, and It has made my husband a strong, well man. He has gained thirty-five pounds in that time and his stomach and heart trouble have all disap peared. "The first time I prepared it I did not boil it long enough, and he said there was something wrong with it. Sure enough it did taste very flat, but the next morning I followed direc tions carefully, boiling It for fifteen minutes, and he remarked 'this Is better than any of the old coffee.' "We use Postum regularly and never tire of telling our friends of the benefit we have received from leaving off coffee.' Look for the little book, "The Road to Wellville," In pkgs.

It gives the Thirteenth Centi Keeps Grapes Fresh. A great firm of wine growers at Saint Benezat, France, has devised a simple method of keeping grapes per fectly fresh for several months. To keep grapes fresh they must not be allowed to dry, while, on the other hand, they lose all their good quali ties if they are immersed in water. Therefore, they must receive moisture just as they receive it while still on the vine-through their stalks. The grapes must not touch anything and they must be handled as little as pos sible. ~The device, which has just been put into use in France, is well illus rated in the accompanying picture, from the New York World. In cut int the grapes an inch or .two of stalk s left on each side of the twig that ears the bunch, and to each end of he stalk is fitted a bulb of rubber or lass containing sterilized water. The whole is then hung up where the rapes may swing free. The water in he bulbs is sucked up by the stalks and supplies the fruit with the where withal :o keep fresh. This water can e renewed -as often as necessary ithout touching the grapes. and any rape that withers can be slipped off CAUSE AN "Wy reyocyig litl bo "Fre i i ubwva'm ShpsWrs oOdr Threislitl ecsstynoady e yaronte gr ou cryng itteoyk Th erie eslitenecesy nowadman.
