1T CAN'T BE DONE.
No One Can Remain Well. No Chronic
Disease Can lie Cured Unless the
Stomach liz First Made Strong
and Vigorous.

This is plain because every organ in the
body depends on the stomach for its nour-
ishment. Nerve, bone, sinew, blood are
made from the food which the stomach
converts to our use.
How useless to treat disease with this,
that and the other remedy and neglect the
most important of all, the stomach.
The earliest symptoms of Indigestion are
sour risings, bad taste in the mouth, gas
in stomach and bowels palpitation, all
gone feeling. faintness. headaches, consti-
patton; later comes loss of flesh. consump-
tion, liver and heart troubles, kidney dis
ease. nervous prostration. all of which are
the indirect result Of poor nutrition.
Any person suffering from Indigestion
should make it a practice to take after
each meal one of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tab
lets, allowing it to dissolve in the mouth
and thus mingle with the saliva and enter
the stomach in the most natural way.
These tablets are highly recommended by
DR.. Jennson because they are composed
OF the natural digestive acids and fruit
essences which assist the stomach in di-
gesting all wholesome food before it has
time to ferment and sour.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are sold by
druggists, full sized packages at 80 cents.
They are also excellent for inyalids and
children. A book on stomach diseases end

THE IDEA OF UNIVERSAL PEACE
Rabbi Stern's Discourse nt ;he
Eighth Street Temple.

Rabbi Stern's DiscOursc ut the
Eighth Street Temple.
The Feast of Pentecost was observed
yesterday in the Jewish churches in this
city. In the Eighth Street Temple last
night Rabbi Stern preached a sermon on
the growth OF universal peace and the
spread of humanitarian principles among
all the nations OF the world While tho
highest ideals had not been realized, he
thought that much progress had been
made since the first prophecy that a time
would come when all mankind would live
in perfect harmony.
who dreamed" said the rabbi, "at
the dawn of history, when there was no
law or order. and when the inhabitants
of the world were gathered in a remote
corner of Asia. that the time would come
when a proposition would be advanced
that the nations no longer keep standing
armies and entertain thoughts OF war;"
He thought that the scheme at this time
was not ripe, but believed that the time
would eventually come. Humanity is
founded on the principles of human love
and kindness, he said Christianity and
Mohammedanism have both been spread
since their birth at the point OF the sword
plan for universal peace cannot be carried
out at the present time. II will be a
failure because the people are not yet
ready for it How can war be stopped,
now and forever. as long as the masses
are swayed by all passions. by ingratitude,
and by all the ignoble sentiments? Il
think that the idea Will eventually be
successful, but 1t can be brought about
only through civilization and through re-
l!gious efforts and all that IS best in re-
ligion. There have been times to build
up and to tear down. This is the time

the law and by gradual development such
conditions can be obtained. DO not do
unto others what you would not have 9TH
ers do 10 you, and the age of universal
peace will be nearer. 1t was upon this
law that the old sages made their predic-
tions that such a time would come"

been held. Rabbi Stern thought that they
had not accomplished much in bringing
the era OF universal peace to the world.

ARMoR PRICES TO BE HELD UP
Only the Carnegie and Bethlehem
Companies VIII Make Bids

Unofficial Information has been received
at the Navy Department that but two
firms will submit bids for supplying armor
to the Government under the call for bids
which are to be opened on the 31st instant.
and that a number OF smaller concerns
who asked for specifications and descrip-
tion Of the plates with the expectation of
bidding have concluded that their plants
are not capable of manufacturing the
high grade of armor required by the Navy.
The two bids that will be presented are
to come from the Carnegie and Bethlehem
companies, the firms now supplying all the
armor for new ships. II is anticipated by
ordnance officials that neither firm will
agree to supply the simple armor for less
than si00 ton and that if the new Krupp
armor is desired. not less than $500 ton.
The Government is limited now to paying
$500 for the former and $3.50 ton for the
latter, so that should both firms refuse TO
lower their prices it will be impossible for
contracts to be awarded until Congress
increases the limit OF cost.

and the participants show by bruises,
sprains, broken fingers and cracked
heads the earnestness with which the
fight was waged. The object of the
contest was for the loud striped collars
that the sophomores bought. The fresh
men had stolen the trophies from their
opponents and the sophomores fought to
regain them but in the end the collars,
or most of them, could not be found.
LIST OF CASUALTIES.
The following is the list of wounded
brought up to date with few missing:
Edwin O'Neil, skull fractured.
V. G. Kropf, finger broken.
Hitchcock, bed broken.
E. r. Henry, bumped into tree and
face skinned.
Chas. Sheck, nervous prostration over
excitement
H. Henry, shoulder dis1ocated.
Joseph Evans, knee sprained.
G. Bronson, toe crushed.
r. Detwiler, collar crushed.
A few days ago the sophomores
banded together and decided to adopt
a very high and very loud looking piece
of neckwear. Charles Sheck was dele
gated to buy the collars and to procure
the highest and loudest in the city. He
made the purchase of a collar for every
man in the class and yesterday morning
hid them in Myron Whites room. Glen
Pricer, of the freshmen, saw him hide
them and when Sheck left the room he
seized them as contra band of war, Sc
creted them under his coat and vest and

''In the shadow of the pines" THAT was
where the Sophomore charge ended in
the Battle of the Collars yesterday at
Washburn college and that famous
charge and the repulse will go down in
the annals of the college as the fiercest
battle ever waged on the college cam
pus.
The battle was over the loud striped
J. WaIdere Kirk collars that the Sopho-
mores adopted as a class emblem and
a taunt to the dressy freshmen. The
freshmen resented being held up to rid
icule and taunts and in a line of battle
started the fight to settle the question
whether they should be allowed to set
the fashion undisturbed or not.
For over two hours the battle ragged

where the freshmen were assembled.
His waist measure had grown suddenly
and with the collars wrapped about his
body. After the classes were over the
freshmen assembled at Whiting hall.
Into one of the rooms they crowded,
shut the door and commenced to don
the stolen collars. The sophomores
resented such action on the part of the
enemy and massed about the door.
Open the door, demanded the Sophs.
Never was shouted back.
The Sophs hurled themselves against
the door.
''They are trying to break in," shout
ed a freshman who was standing in
front of the mirror wrestling with the
collar buttons and the stolen collar.
THE DOOR GAVE WAY.
The next moment the door went In
with a crash and the Sophs found that
the freshmen had escaped by way of
the window. All but one. They hurled
him through the open window and he
landed on top of Edwin O'Neill. O'Neill
sunk to the ground. He thought his
skull was fractured and he was carried
to his room.
The freshmen attended chapel wear
ing the collars The sophs did not. and
while the enemy was at chapel they
raided their rooms and took all the col
lars, hats and neckties that had been
left behind.
the fight commenced on the steps. In
front of the steps in battle array, were
the sophs, Shouting their yell of def
ance:
We're the hot stuff,
Second to none.

Nineteen hundred and one"
The freshmen formed themselves in
a solid phalanx, rushed down the steps
toward the foe. shouting as they went:
'fPush 'em, shove 'em,
Through and through.

OF nineteen two"
That was at II o'clock, and from then
until 2 the battle waged. Yelling,
struggling, the sophomores fought for
possession of the collars and they were
ruthlessly torn from the neckS of the
freshmen. Sometimes more of the
clothing went with them. Fighting,
charging, the freshmen defended their
clothing. Surging and seething the
struggling mass swept across the cam
pus.
CARING FOR THE WOUNDED.
No thought of classes. The professors
and pupils rushed to the scene of the
fray and cheered their favorites on. The
girls from Holbrook hall started an
improvised hospital station on the hay
scales and cared for the wounded of
both sides. Heads were bandaged with
handkerchiefs.
The sophomore girls sided with their
class and the girls of the other classes
with theirs. One sophomore in the line
of battle secured a collar, took it to one
of the girls and she wore it through the
rest of the fray and not a freshman
dared to touch it.
Over in Whiting hall a wounded men,

to victory with such tunes as "A Hot

Time" and Hold the Fort" The fresh
men formed themselves at 1:4S for a
last and mighty charge. The sopho-
mores arrayed themselves to meet the
onslaught. Across the open space the
freshmen came at a run. The two lines
met, both wavered, hand to hand they
fought and neither gained an inch. In
sheer desperation each side struggled
and one by one gave out from exhaus-
ton and then the battle suddenly came
to an end. Each side appointed a COM
mittee on capitulation.
The two committees met this morning
to arrange the terms, but as no agree
ment could be reached both the fresh
men and sophomores will have to at
tend classes Monday minus collars.
The decision as to which side won can
not be made and both sides claim the
victory. The faculty will not admit it,
but they were very much interested.
Professor Harshbarger would not allow
his class to leave the room and attend
the fight, but it is said that he watched
it from the window and greatly enjoyed
it,
The young ladies who cared for the
wounded were greatly praised for their
thoughtfulness, but it is said that some
of the fighters were wounded and taken
to the hospital on the hay scales as
much as half a dozen times.
