1t has been the custom for the cap
tains and managers to keep historic
footballs, baseballs and track banners.
After keeping them awhile they are
usually lost and the college never gets
the glory due it from these victories.
They are forgotten and no record Of
the event is kept.
Beginning with the establishment of
the new trophy room, however, things
will be changed. The sacred balls
and emblems will be turned in at once
to the curator who will see they are
properly locked up in the trophy room
in the cases provided for them. The
trophy room will always be open for
inspection and will be used as a sort
of rest room and reception room for
visitors

TROPHY ROOM ESTABLISHED
WHITMAN HAS PLACE FOR TRIO
PIXIES AND EMBIEMS OF
VICTORY.

Plans are being made this fall to
open the trophy room at Whitman
college as was planned when the gym
nasium was built. When the build
ing was erected a room was planned
for the keeping of all the trophies be-
longing to student activities, such as
pictures, banners, cups and other en-
blems of missionary prowess.
The room has not yet however, been
opened. For one reason and another
the room was never fixed up and the
trophies We're never collected. But
this year the collection will be made
and will be kept up in future years.

county clerk of King county, and a
member of the fraternal military
bodies in Seattle, says tn = P.-I.
General FUnstOn's pIar was received
favorably by the general staff some
line preceding the fraternal organiza-
ton idea, and the two proposals are
now being considered together. Under
the Funston plan, it is estimated, 300,-
600 men would be added to the re-
serve force, and under the fraternaI
military plan more than 100000 men
would be added, making a total force
of nearly a million citizen soldiery.
The plan anticipates the arming of the
reserve with the standard army rifle,
and the adoption of the regular army
tactics and drill regulations.

FOOD
FACTS
Grape-Nuts
F 90 d
A Body Balance

People hesitate at the statement that
the famous TODD. Grape-Nuts, yields as
much nourishment from one pound as
can be absorbed by the system from
ten pounds of meat. bread, wheat or
oats. Ten pounds of meat might con-
tain more nourishment than one pound
of Grape-Nuts. but not in shape that
the system will absorb as large pro-
portion of, as the body can take up
from one pound of Grape-Nuts.
This food contains the selected parts
of wheat and barley which are pre-
pared and by natural means predi-
gested, transformed into form OF
sugar, ready for immediate assimila-
ton. People in all parts of the world
testify to the value of Grape-Nuts.
A Mo. man says: Il have gained ten
pounds on Grape-Nuts food. 1 can
truly recommend it TO thin people"
He had been eating meat, bread, ETC.,
right along. but there was no ten
pounds of added flesh until Grape-Nuts
food was used.
One curious feature regarding true
health food is that it's use will reduce
the weight of a eorpulent person with
unhealthy flesh, and will add to the
weight of thin person not properly
nourished. There is abundance OF
evidence to prove this.
Grape-Nuts balances the body in a
condition of true health. Scientific Sc
lection of food elements makes Grape
Nuts good and valuable. Its delicious
flavor and powerful nourishing prop
critics have made friends that in
turn have made Grape-Nuts famous.

Doctor Ordered.

A Philadelphia physician says that
not long ago he was called to see an
1rishman, and among other directions
told him to take an ounce of whisky
three times a day. A day or so later
he made another visit and found the
man, while not so sick, undeniably
drunk.

clan demanded of Pats wife, who was
lowering about solicitously.

Architects and Closets.

An architect, says a writer, com
plains that women have a mania for
closets and that when a woman is al
lowed any liberty in the matter she
changes his whole architectural plan
in order to make room for them. This,
he says, makes him laughing stock
among his fellow architects. This is
very interesting, but why do architects
make plans if not to make every effort
themselves to secure conveniences? A
house may be architecturally perfect
and yet not fit to live in, and it certain
ly is not if there is not closet room
enough.

DYNAMITE IS FOUND ON RAIL
WAY TRACK.
ENGINEER TAGGED JUST IN TIME
Eight Hundred People Barely Escape
Death.

wichita, kanS., Aug. ZU--Ihe Eagle
this morning prints the following:
A daring attempt was made by four
men to wreck north bound Santa Fe
train No. Is, four miles north OF this
city last night by placing a large
quantity of dynamite on the rails IN
such a manner that it would have
blown the train to atoms as 1t crossed
a bridge known as Pechin's crossing.
The dynamite was discovered fifteen
minutes before the arrival OF the
train and the men who found the
dynamite were successful in tagging
the train before it struck the bridge
Otherwise the entire train would
have been wrecked and thrown INTO
the creek which flows about twenty
feet beneath the bridge and large
loss of life would have resulted.
The discovery of the dynamite was
made by Henry Huber, 81 North
Wichita street and Will Barrett. a
machinist at Dold's packing house
The two men were in a party that had
gone into that neighborhood to fsh.
BY chance they happened upon the
bridge lust as the miscreants had set
the charge of dynamite and discover
ed that there was something wrong
The story as told by Mr.. Huber is:
"I had gone with several friends on
fishing trip and not having very good
luck we decided to go to Peckin's
crossing to try fishing there little
while. 1 climbed up on the embank-
ment of the railway near the Drldge
and saw four men on the bridge Whom
I took to be my friends. When

her. She took him to task, explaining
the wickedness of profanity as well

words. Bartholomew announced that
Cavert, one of his playmates, had
taught him. Cavert's mother was

MAN TORTURED FOR 80 YEARS
Suffered from Disease of the Skin.
But Found a Cure at Last

A story written in the own words of the
sufferer has just cone from Covington, Q. q,
which has caused a big stir among skin
specialists and among those suffering
from eczema and other forms of skin dis
eases. George Flammer of that city, an
old and honored resident, suffered from
eczema for 33 years before he was able to
find a cure and was then saved from
further suffering by d. d. ID. Prescrip-
ton. Here is what he says about it:
81 had eczema for 33 years and two bot
ties of ID. d. ID. Prescription completely
cured me. / know that this sounds strange.
l can hardly believe it myself but it is the
gospel truth. AS soon as | found out
what d. d. ID. would do | hunted up two
of my best friends, Mr.. Shuman and Mr..
Rank both of whom had eczema. Both
of them are nearly cured and Mr.. Rank
has used only seven bottles. 1t is a won
derful remedy"
d. d. d. Prescription is a liquid reme-
dy which gets right at the roots of such
diseases as eczema, psoriasis, salt rheum
bari er's itch, etc. 1t doctors the skin
where the skin needs to be doctored. 1t
kills the germs and the itching scales fall
off, leaving the skin fine and white.
We know that.th remedy is absolute
ly reliable and that it has cured eczema
and the patients appear to be cured for
ever. Come in and let us give you a
