PROSPECTS FOR BASKETBALL AT R.H,SLSPLENDIO Coach Mullins Expects to Turn Out Five of Championship Size. With a more abundant supply of material, both from the standpoint of weight and ability as players, the basketball prospects at High school are brighter than they have been for several years. Although the change In the coach has caused some dissatisfaction among the students, Edgar Mullins, the newly appointed coach, has promised that be will deliver a championship team with the material that has presented itself fcr the squad. Coach Mullins has had several years' training in basketball coaching under the leading of coaches of the middle west and is well able to drill the team. The first call for basketball men will be made probably the first of next week, at which time all men who wish to try for either the first or second squads will be asked to report. It is estimated that at least thirty men will try for basketball this season. LEAGUE STANDINGS NATIONAL LEAGUE Won. Lost.

An offensive in the Riga district has been started by the Death Battalion of Russian women.

FOULKE DEFENDS Continued From Page One. fore the district board on the ground that they were engaged in industries necessary to the maintenance of the military establishment. Had Not Passed. "The local board at Richmond had not passed upon this question at all and could not pass upon it, having no jurisdiction. "The statement that I had anything to do with the decision at Fort Wayne in these two cases is entirely unfounded. I was appointed for just one thing, 'to take appeals on behalf of the federal government to the district board from the exemptions or discharges by the local board.' These are the exact words of my letter of ap pointment of August 7. I had no right to consider or act either one way or the other on any original cases pre sented to the Fort Wayne board ask ing for discharge on industrial grounds and I did not take part in any such cases. Indeed, when one of the cases you speak of came up for consideration I was asked to leave the room. I had no more to do with either of these two exemptions than you had yourself. I do not know what the facts are nor what the affidavits show ed. It was not my place to know and did not inquire. But there were affi davits and in one case there was oral testimony which was taken while I was absent. If those affidavits are untrue you have the right to see them and to prove that they are untrue. The secretary of the Fort Wayne board told me today that the affidavits and testimony were open to inspection of any one who could show that he had a legitimate interest in the matter and also that they might be published. Now if you think there Is anything wrong in these cases you can go up and examine them or get some one there to do it for you. If you know. as your letter says, that these men have only minor positions you can make your own affidavit stating all the facts and showing just why they are not necessary for the running of the business. Yet Time to Act. "The district board can still change its decision if you can show that it was wrong. The Rules and Regulations provide, page 68, 'Any certificate of discharge issued by a district board may be withdrawn, modified or renewed by the district board if in the opinion of such district board the circumstances of the case require that the certificate should be withdrawn, modified or renewed.' If you have been wronged in your own hands and not in mine lies the remedy. " 'Is one's wealth and social position,' you ask 'the only basis upon which the district board at Fort Wayne bases its rulings? "What possible proof can you give for the statement that the Fort Wayne

A Drunkard's Plea. Tells How He Was Released from the Bondage of Alcoholic Slavery

Leading Druggists Guarantee Results My heart bleeds for every drunkard, and I sincerely wish I could meet them face to face and tell them how I was saved from the clutches of the demon drink. If this were possible thousands could be saved from drunkards' graves, i es, . my appetite ror annK was completely destroyed. Here is the prescription that saved me. One prepared tescum powder twice a day in coffee, tea, or any liquid. Almost everything had been tried on me without results, bo don't experiment with anything but tescum powders, then you will not be disappointed. Since the powder is colorless, odorless and tasteless it can be given secretly. It is intended to destroy the terrible craving. The results are so startling that druggists are refunding the money if it fails. (See money refund guarantee, which druggists are authorized to give when above prescription is filled.) There is absolutely no risk on your part, so you have everything to gain and nothing to lose. Mothers . and sisters are now able to cure their loved ones of this terrible habit with no expense, if it fails. If druggists were not confident of success they could not afford to make such an offer. Have the prescription filled today, before you forget it. One woman who used this prescrip

LIMP" RATTIE HAVE 115 IN CORN BOSTON, Ind., Sept 13. John Bratton and son intend to do their bit for Uncle Sam. They have planted 150 acres in wheat, and have 115 in fine corn that Is maturing. Board so based its rulings? Why should men at Fort Wayne violate their duty on account of the social position of two citizens of Richmond? If these men are necessary to the industry in question they ought to be exempted no matter how rich they are and if they are not necessary they ought not to be exempted no matter how poor they are. From what I have seen I am satisfied that the members both of the Fort Wayne board and the Richmond board are trying to do their duty and not influenced by any considerations, either social or financial, except the desire to serve their country In this hour of emergency. Ask Labor Man. "If you doubt this suppose you write to John Heavey, the representative of labor unions on the Fort Wayne board and ask if these two exemptions were granted on account of the wealth or social positions of the parties. "The men on these two boards are working hard early and late for a most inadequate compensation and are trying to do their best. They have taken different views as to exemptions but the motives of both are equally unquestionable. The representatives of the government get no compensation at all and we pay our own ex penses but we feel that in a great war like this no man has a right to refuse to serve in such capacity as he can. If he cannot go to the front he must do what is in his power here at home. "Now all these criticisms upon the motives of these boards can have only one effect, to stir up dissatisfaction and to weaken the military efforts of our country against the common enemy. In time of peace such complaints may be well enough but in time of war we must all stand together against a common foe. The men on these boards have been suddenly called from different vocations of civil life to perform duties with which they are totally unfamiliar. Many hundreds of cases are before them which have to be decided in a few short days. Of course, they are making mistakes, probably many mistakes; it is inevitable. Let these mistakes be shown where possible by proper affidavits and testimony, but the characters of those who are thus serving their country ought to be secure against aspersions. I am not referring to you or your letter when I say that a great deal of unwarranted gossip Is heard on every side about this case and that case by those who do not know what the testimony was or what the facts are. This ought to stop and our people ought all to pull together for the common cause. "Yours truly, (Signed) William Dudley Foulke." on the fourth weeks since he has touched a drop of anything in the form of liquor or used tobacco of any kind. He seems already like a different man. Tescum has gained a wonderful enthusiast in me. I regard it as a Godsend. Just think, I have never seen my husband sober for more than 48 hours In years and no wit is going on one month since he had his last drink." Another one gratefully writes: "I have used tescum powders on my husband and find it one of the greatest cures In this world. He hasn't taken a drink for almost five week and says he never will. My home does not seem like tne same place and lire seems worth living. I hope thousands gain what I have. This has been a good new year for me without drink In my home." NOTE A leading druggist when shown the above article said: "Yes, tescum is a very remarkable remedy for the drink habit. It is harmless, wonderfully effective and is having an enormous sale. I advise everyone who wishes to destroy the liquor habit to give it a trial." You take no risk with Tescum as it is sold in this city under a Bteelbound money-refund guarantee by Thietlethwaite and other first class druggists. They guarantee It to do the work or refund the money. Adv.

Comment Resented by Swedish Papers I. I !. STOCKHOLM, Sept. 13. The conservative newspaper Dagblad prints a bitter editorial on the statements in the British and American press concerning the Luxburg affair. The newspaper says: "The barrage fire from New York and London editors will fail entirely to frighteen Sweden out of its neutrality." ' The Svenska Dagbladet resents what it terms "interference in Swedish domestic problems" and says the allied press is utilizing the present difficulties as propaganda fcr the formation of a "Swedish party." The newspaper adds: "All attempts to differentiate between a criminal government and a deceived people in this case is doomed to disappointment. All hints as to how we are to group our political parties will not affect us."

SEEMS EVERYONE IS ANXIOUS TO TRY IT Recent Discovery of Ether Compound That Dries up Corns so They Lift Out. Good news spreads rapidly and druggists here are kept busy dispensing freezone, the recent discovery of a Cincinnati man, which is said to loosen any corn so It lifts out with the fingers. A quarter of an ounce costs very little at any pharmacy, but is said to be sufficient to rid one's feet on every hard or soft corn or callus. You apply just a few drops on the tender, aching corn and Instantly the soreness is relieved, and soon the corn is so shriveled that it lifts out without pain. It is a sticky substance which dries when applied and never inflames or even irritates the adjoining tissue. This discovery will prevent thousands of deaths annually from lockjaw and infection heretofore resulting from the suicidal habit of cutting corns. Adv. Cheap PTiArtTU"U
