Colleqe SONGS.

For college men the songs peculiar
to their alma mater will always have
a special charm and significance. They
are sung joyously during the four years
of college life, and are recalled with
tenderness during all the years of
after life. When so much of the col
lege spirit lies in the songs and is so
constantly fostered by them, it Is
strange that the songs themselves
should so rarely possess real beauty Of
composition or dignity of sentiment
To be sure, Princeton has her "Old
Nassau" and the great university of
Cambridge has Fair Harvard" and
some other colleges have songs not
unworthy to be passed on from class
to class. Nevertheless, most of the
undergraduate lung power is used up
in the Fill -em-up-again-Jo John" or the
"Down-wi Somebody" class of mu-
sic. 1t was a perception of this fact
that led Yale alumnus to offer a
prize of $50 few years ago for a
really worthy Yale song. This offer
having failed to produce the desired
result, the prize was increased to
$500. 1t has now been awarded for
dignified, serious and, to coin word.
matriotic song. the theme of which is
recognition of the aims and achieve
ments of the university. The incident
ought to be suggestive to other men of
means who wish to do something for
their university, declares the Youths
Companion, and still more suggestive
to college students everywhere who
have the gift of songwriting. col
lege boy would deserve well of his
classmates and of all who come after
him If he should succeed in producing
a song which should become identified
with the college life. 1t is a much
more enduring distinction than writ
ing the flamboyant flapdoodle which is
supposed to cheer the deathless heroes
Of the annual great game.

Benny on the Turtle.

The turtle is one of the ugliest Of
the wonderful works of creation. II
has a thick. hard shell on its out
sides, but is good for soup. which costs
you 30 cents and has pieces of hard
boiled egg in 1t. A turtle looks like a
wooden bowl of various sizes, turned
upside down. and has legs. The only
noise 1t makes is when 1t falls OFF a
log into the Calumet river near Blue
Island or elsewhere. II Is wrong 20
shoot turtles. The reason why 1t is
wrong to shoot turtles is because they
don't know any better. If you eaten
a small turtle and get tired OF 1t you
can put 1t in pasteboard box and
send it in the mail to some friend for
four cents. An adult turtle sometimes
lives to an advanced age. Its shell
when polished and made into combs
looks so like celluloid that you cant
tell the difference. Thus we see that
everything is useful. and that we
ought to be good and kind to all crea-
lures, whether we love them or not.
In its wild state the turtle is usually
covered with mud and looks nasty

1 have the greatest faith in Speaker
Osmena"
The same sort of Endorsement of
the Filipino speaker is heard on all
sides. A young man, still under 30,
he was highly successful prosecuting
officer in Cebu, and after that highly
successful governor of his province.
He is not a '.politico." 1t was with
difficulty that he could be induced to
become candidate for the assembly.
His candidacy for the speakership was
in no sense his own. He is an intense
patriot, and, what is more. practical
man. His own people believe in him,
and so do the Americans.
The responsibility of his present
position was hardly realized by either
Americans or Filipinos until Secretary
Taft made it clear that in the civil
government of the Philippines the
speakership is a post second only to
that of the governor general.
1t is too early to say what the Phil
ippines assembly will do. There is
some disposition on the part of Amer
ican critics to laugh at, as impracti-
cal. some of the bills that have been
introduced. These critics have had
no experience with the legislation Of
our own states or about the halls of
congress. 1t is probable that in
any state legislature or any session
larger percentage of freak" bills than
have yet appeared in the Philippines
assembly. This can be said: There
will be no freak" legislation so long
as Speaker Osmena is able to control
the situation, and SO far his influence
has been all powerful.

and Barley. treated by our processes
to partially transform the starch
parts into a form of Sugar, and there
fore much easier to digest.
Our claim that 1T is a Food for
Brain and Nerve Centres" is based
upon the fact that certain parts of
Wheat and Barley (which We use) con-
tain Natures brain and nerve building
ingredients, viz: Phosphate of Pot
ash, and the way We prepare the food

DIR. Geo. w. Carey in his book on
The Biochemic System of Medicine"
says:
When the medical profession fully
understands the nature and range OF
the phosphate of potassium. insane
asylums will no longer be needed.
The gray matter of the brain is
controlled entirely by the inorganic
cellsalt. potassium phosphate.
This salt unites with albumen. and
by the addition OF oxygen creates nerve
fluid. or the gray matter of the brain.
"of course. there is trace of other
salts and other organic matter in
nerve-fiuid. but potassium phosphate
is the chief factor. and has the power
within itself TO attract, by its own law
OF affinity. all things needed to manu-
facture the elixir of life. Therefore.
when nervous symptoms arise. due TO
the. fact that the nerve-fuid has been
exhausted from any cause. the phos-
phate OF potassium is the only true
remedy. because nothing else can
possibly supply the deficiency.
The ills arising from too rapidly
consuming the gray matter OF the
brain cannot be overestimated.
Phosphate of Potash. Is TO my
mind. the most wonderful curative
agent ever discovered by man. and
the blessings II has already conferred
on the race are many. But what
shall the harvest be when physicians
