Use LINONINE
(Flax.Seed Emulsion)
For Cough, Colds
Bronchitis.

Countless grave sicknesSeS are rec
OgniZed by the medical profession as
having their direct or indirect cause in
a neglected cold or cough. Linonine,
the flax seed emulsion, is the most
helpful thing in the world to you.
Medicine knows no surer healing agent
for inflamed mucous membranes (the
medical term for the Innings of nose,
throat and lung passages). Thus while
Linonine is curing Colds coughs,
bronchitis and consumption it is also
building up the body as nothing else
can do.

GREENWOOD MORNING

A very important and significan
movement recently launched at tn,
university was the organization OF
Six Hundred Club, having as it's pur
pose the enrolment Of fully 900 stu
dents for the 1909-10 session. The en-
rollment for the term now drawing to
close has been between 400 and 500, ant
each student has given a pledge to put
forth his best efforts to bring back one
or more new students at the next ses.
sion.
A Student Labor League has been
formed, through which employment
will be given to fifty or sixty students
who desire to work their way through
the university. This is telling an
swer to the argument frequently Of.
fered on the floor Of the legislature in
opposition to appropriations that the
university is "a school for rich men s
boys The assurance is given by the
Student Labor League that deserving
young men without means of paying
their expenses for the term will be CIV
en- employment that will enable them
to meet expenses, and that this en-
ployment will not result in social ostra-
ciam or har fhem from mam ha hi N in
the fraternities.

of the board Of trustees will meet to
consider plans for the new S50,000 IL

Gently donated $25,OOO for library pur-

present intention of the committee is to

or library purposes. The old power
liant was recently sold and netted sew
,ral thousand dollars. Fees and other
Ources of revenue will make up the |
