A Tonic for Old People

Adds Years to Life, Puts Life Into
Years-Dr. Chase's Blood and Nerve
Food, the Great Blood and Flesh
Maker, Brain and Nerve Tonic
Keeps you from growing old by
keeping up your vital forces. When
the human machinery begins to wear
out, people grow old and go into de-
cline and decay, the blood becomes
thin and watery, the circulation poor,
and the nerve forces shattered and
weak. showing that certain essential
elements of life are being exhausted
from the blood and nerves. The ex-
haustion usually begins with cold and
numb hands and feet. The stomach.
bowels and bladder lose their power,
often becoming partially, if not
wholly. paralyzed. You grow weak
and feeble and your vital forces so
low that you begin to see that your
health is being undermined. DR..
Chase's Blood and Nerve Food in
creases the action of the heart and
the circulation of the blood, and
builds up the system by replacing the
same substances to the blood and
nerves that have been worn out.

ring for morsel of liberation, s

adds:
IT do not like the young people to
feel that school authority shows itself
only in repression, and wish the
schools might have a wholesome So
cial life but we should be grateful to
be saved from the rising tide of these
selfish exclusive organizations that
smack more of the Outworn arlsto-
cratic institutions of the old world
That the fraternities have club
houses and other meeting places
which are not conducted with an ade-
ouate regard for "decency' is asserted
by Arthur L. Penhallow. teacher In
Hyde Park High School. In his letter
Mr. Penhallow does not mince his
words.
1.-THE fraternities have rented club
houses he says, near the schools,
where they gather during the after
noon and evening, not, according TO
what l have seen, for the purpose OF
study They are apparently purely So
cial organizations and are not always
conducted with that regard for de-
cency which characterizes more ma
ture societies. 1 have noticed boys
gathered on the steps of fraternity
houses making audible remarks in not
particularly good taste, to and about
girl pupils of the school and 1nstruc-
tors who were passing the houses.
have noticed also in many cases that
the school work and behavior of pu-
pills deteriorated greatly soon after
they joined these societies. High
school work cannot be done satisfac-
torily if the pupils attention is per-
mitted to be drawn away by interests
disconnected with the school.
Control of Athletics.
THE societies. though compr1sfns
in their membership only minority
of the pupils, have through organiza-
ton succeeded in the past in control
ling the athletic interests of the
school, 1 think they have not been
prominent in any literary ventures.
One society, it is true, attempted to
publish monthly paper. This. nav
ever, was not under any faculty SUI
tanned oftentimes items that should
not have been inserted. 1t showed al
| so conspicuously that the society
which published it had not chosen it's
members for their ability in studies.
ITO return to athletics. 1 have been
informed that in past years Of two
candidates of equal merit for a place
on any team one fraternity and one
non fraternity representative. the
fraternity member would be chosen
every time. This was a well-under-
stood fact in the school and in conse-
quence no attempt to take part in any
of the athletic activities of the
school.
Nov, athletics are justified in a
high school only when they serve to
develop the bodies and minds of GER
tainly a majority of the pupils. This
they have not succeeded in doing in
Hyde Park up to the present, largely
through the control exercised by the
societies.
What l have said in regard to the
fraternities will apply in general to
| the sOrOrites'
Summarized, the conclusions of Mr.
Penhallow are that the societies are
subversive of discipline, cause mat
tention to the work Of the school and
attempt to create ruling class
