THE UNIVERSITY
DEFENSE OF CADET CORPS
PROMINENT VARSITY MEN DENY
CHARGES THAT PROMOTIONS
ARE DUE TO FAVORITIsM.

The military department of the
university has been made the object
of serious charges in the past few
days. The trouble started with the
publication in the college paper of a
statement by Major George II. Nor
gan, commandant Of cadets, to the
effect that the men were slovenly in
their drill. In reply to this, appeared
a communication stating that, since
promotion was won entirely by favor
itism, the average cadet saw no rea-
son for drilling any harder than nee
essary. One man conversant with the
inner workings of the department,
makes the following statement:
Except that every man will nat
urally do what he can to help his
friends, I do not believe there is any
thing that can in fairness be called
graft in the system of promotions.
I know that certain promotions which
have been referred to as cases Of
graft were made on the recommen-
dation Of officers who had no personal
interest, but acted for the best inter-
ests Of the corps"
Among the officers generally the
opinion has been expressed that those
who complain do so because their own
graft" failed to work.
Promotions are made upon the
Of the cadet officers
and the complainants expressly state
that they do not consider Major Nor
gan in any way responsible for the
state Of affairs which they claim ex-
lists.
A merry war is on between the
seniors and a junior student con-
nected with several university and city
The junior in some
manner obtained a copy Of the senior
class play and published the plot.
In retaliation the seniors propose to
make roasts for the junior a part of
their play. The junior has Informed
the seniors that he still has a. copy of
the play, and that if they do not omit
all uncomplimentary reference to- him,
he will publish every joke before the
play is given. 80
The situation may result inthe' writ
ing of another class play.

THEY MUST EAT ARSENIC.
Otherwise the Makers Of the Poison
Could Not Withstand lts Fumes.


Could Not Withstand lie Fumes.
Chicago Tribune: Eating Of arsenic is
common in Syria. Tho Styrians say
that arsenic makes one plump and
gives one strength for great exertions,
such as running or mountain climbing.
Syria. in Austria, gives the world
vast quantities of arsenic. The manu-
facture Of this drug is indeed the main
Syrian industry. They who make ar
senic eat 1t as a rule, for they say that
only h arsenic eater can Withstand
the arsenic fumes.
These makers and eaters Of the drug
are comely. They have a blooming and
clear color. They look much younr
than they are. '
1.-The foreman in a certain arsenic
factory told me that in his b0yhood.
when he first come to that plant. he
was advised to begin to eat arsenic lest
his health suffer from the Fumes" eays
q toxicologist. He did begin and his
first two or three small doses gave him
a sharp pain, like a burn. in the stom-
ach, and this pain al followed by ire
hunger n a violent, dis
agreeable excitement. But as his doses
increased In frequency size their
effect became pleasant. There was no
longer pain or excitement; on the con.
trary. there was a ven appetite
and a mood of joyous activity. wherein
he could do three mems work.
This chap, by the time he got to ne
80, was taking four grains of arsenic a
day. He looked at 30. with his clear
pink and white color, no more than Is.
He was as robust as a blacksmith. But
he said he would die at As or so. thar
being the age at which all the Syrian
arsenic eaters die"
