The first lecture of this years course was
given by Prof. Edward S. Morse, Director
of the Peabody Academy of Science, and
was held on Friday evening in Alumni
Hall. The subject was "Japan and the
Japanese" and Prof. Morse spoke very in
terestingly upon it. He told of the life of
that people, comparing and contrasting it
with our own, and particularly spoke of the
mistake other nations were making in re-
garding the japanese as more or less I'M
civilized He illustrated many points by
very skilful black board drawing. The lee
ture was attended by about two hundred
and fifty students and many outside per-
sons. The next lecture will be held Oh Nov.

some unknown preparation which may con-
tain opiates, which cause constipation, a
condition that retards recovery from cold.
Ask for FOley's Honey and Tar and refuse
