New Scholarship Arportlonmant

Northwestern university ever pro-
gressiye and aggressive in the the
bettering of educational standards
has lust evolved a brand new plan for
the allotment of scholarships, Real
iZing that the usual basis of class
scholarships although honored by
many years of usage may not be
wholly the best possible arrangement;
it has devised plan thus far untrled.
The university faculty lis of the mind
that mere scholarship, however de
sirable in itself, falls far short of the
highest type of manhood and woman
hood. 1t would accordingly place
character as basis in preference to
intelluectal attainment. The elements
to be taken into consideration III the
selection of pupils for scholarships
will comprise the following physical
vigor. high scholarship intellectual
ability, initiative enterprise, quantities
that mark the manner and habits OF
the educated gentleman, force OF
character and qualities OF manhood
truth and courage.
A large number of these free schol-
arships are to be given and principals
OF high schools and academies of the
different states are asked to cooper
ate by selecting graduates of their
schools most eligible under the new
plan and notifying the registrar OF
the university to the effect. From
the list thus furnished the unlVersit!
faculty will make elections.
The practical workings OF the
scheme are awaited. with much inter
est.

West Pembroke, Me. March IL
Mrs A L. Smith Of this place, says
that DCdd's Kidney Pills are the best
remedy for. growing girls. Mrs.
Smith emphasizes her recommends
ton BY the following experience:
Ny daughter was thirteen years
old last November and it is now two
years since she was first taken with
Crazy Spells that would last a week
and would then pass on. In a month
she would have the spells again. At
these times she would eat very little
and was very yellow, even the whites
OF her eyes would be yellow.
The doctors gave US no encOur-
agement, they all said they could not
help her. After taking one box OF
DOdd's Kidney Pills. she has not had
one bad spell. OF course, we contin-
ued the treatment until she had used
in all about a dozen boxes. and we
still give them TO her occasionally.
when she is not feeling well. Dodd's
Kidney Pills are certainly the best
medicine for growing girls"
Mothers should heed the advice OF
Mrs Smith, for by so doing they may
save their daughters much pain and
sickness and insure a healthy, happy
future for them.
