HAVE ATTACK OF NERVES
WHEN ENTERING CONTESTS
SAN FRANCISCO. Sept.. I —
Years of competition fail to eliminate
the attack of “nerves” which champ
ion swimmers experience just prior to
some important match race, according
to .Mrs. Francis Cowells Schroth, rat.**l
one of the best of American swim
mers. Mrs. Schroth recently comment
ed on the fact that she never has been
; hie to eliminate the nervous strain
she suffers just before the start oF
every race. ,
“Once I hit the water, the nervous
ness deserts me entirely,” she explain
I ed. “I have been competing for four
years but I have not been successful
in getting over that awful feeling l
undergo when lining up for a start. At
first I thought that with constant
competition I would be cured of ‘ner
ves’ but in all races I am tense and
car r before the firing of every start
ing gun.
Mrs. Clare (ialligan Finney, Olga
Dorfner. Duke Kahanamoku and in
fact, all the prominent swimmers I
have met tell mo they suffer from the
same complaint. I guess it is all a
nart of the game although I can truth
fully say 'hat is the one phase of it
I do not enjoy.”

Notice is hereby given that the
Committee recently appointed to in
vestigate the prices of commodities In
Seward will hold a meeting in the
town hall, Tuesday evening, Sept. 2nd.
at 8 o’clock, for the purpose of hear
ing comolaints as to local | rices "huh
citizen! may care to make and also >o
acquire such information as the pub- j
lie may have in its possession which
boars upon the subject in hand.
All complaints should be accom
panied by evidence in the shape o. re
cc'pted bills, etc.
The appointing of this and similar
committees all over the country murks
the first step in a sincere effort of the
government to lower the high 'cost o!
living. The local committees cannot
send in a full and authentic report of
local conditions without the coopera
tion of all citizens.
Therefore it is the public duty of
each one to submit such evidence as
they have in order that any local evils
if they exist, may be corrected.
Information is desired on prices
charged in Seward during the past
year on all necessary commodities
such as food, fuel and clothing.
Telia Robb Lucas.
Secretary.

To attempt to describe RAI
NIER SPECIAL is as futile as
trying to paint the lily. You
must taste it to know how good
it really is—how it surpasses
supposedly similar drinks. Its
rare flavor and thirst-quenching
qualities are obtained through
an exclusive, patented process.
No other drink can he like RAI
NIER SPECIAL. No other
drink, for day after day use the
year through, can he drank
with such genuine pleasure.
RAINIER SPECIAL is practi
cally predigested—so all can
drink it freely—and with no
ill effects. It's a soft drink that
is really good for you—a soft
drink that really ratifies. *'
