Beef Tea for the Aged.

I have often had occasion IN these
pages and elsewhere 20 protest against
the widely hugged delusion Of beef tea
being highly nutritious food. AS I
have stated. il is a stimulant. and has
the Objectionable quality Of rendering
the bowels lax. Now. IN old age, there
is an opposite natural tendency-at least,
that Is the rule. When this rule obtains,
and there is weakness. we shall find in
strong beef tea a most valuable medl-
cine. But do not commit the mistake OF
regarding the stuff as food, says Home
Notes. It will so stimulate the BODY
that food can be taken; it will so stInu-
late It that the person will feel better, /,

Can't Explain It.


While the officials Of the university eX-
plain that time should be given 10 girls
who have been graduated in the last
two years. yet they have no eXplana-
ton 10 offer for the lack Of interest in
matTimony shown by the others. or the
nine women who were graduated the
year following the Worlds Fair, not one
has married Only three married the
next year, and in no class has half OF
the girl graduates married. The per-
centage Of women graduates who have
married is about l61z. The statistics Of
Mr. Bestor also show that about 30 per
cent Of the women who have been grad
uated have taken up teaching.
The offcials deny that there Is any
truth in the suggestion made by critics
that the restrictions in the university
against college courtships and engage
ments among the students has had any
thing 70 do with this showing, nor do
thev believe that the average age OF
the women graduates as had any effect.
although the statistics show that the
average age Of the women graduates
has been close to %. while the age Of
the men has been below this.
Girls Go Elsewhere.
Students in the university who have
studied the statistics compiled by Mr.
Restor assert that segregation and too
severe regulations as 10 visiting in the
dormitories have had much TO do with
sending the girl graduates away from
the university heart-free. They say the
university has placed such restrictions
on college courting that the younger girl
students go elsewhere TO college They
cite the many engagements at North
western University, in Evanston, as
proof of this claim. They also assert
that Northwestern attracts younger
and more domestically inclined class OF
eirIs than those who make up the FEM
mine contingent in the classes Of the
University OF Chicago.
