Address by Hadiey.
The following address was delivered
by President Hadley of Yale univer-
sity, representing the New England
colleges, at the inauguration:
On behalf of those who are to be
your nearest neighbors. and I hope
your closest associates. I offer word
of welcome.
The colleges of New England have
large work before them. Situated in
that part of the country where higher
education was earliest developed. and
where intellectual aims and standards
have always commanded the attention
of the community, an institution like
this enjoys special advantages in pro-
noting the cause of pure scholarship
and devotion to abstract truth. We
never have been able, and I suppose
we never shall be able, wholly to rea
lie our ideals. There will always be
some who think play more important
than study; and there will always be
some who value study in proportion tC
the profit in money or fame which its
pursuit is likely to bring. But We al
ways have had, and we shall, think
continue to have in increasing mum
bers, a nucleus of true scholars-ol
students who value science and letters
for their own sake and are preparing
to help the community to value them

DON'T BE BALD

had what most people would call a
beautiful head of golden hair. l priced
it most highly. as I considered it my
chief attraction. Suddenly it began
to come out very rapidly. and at times
had intense itching of the scalp.
Physicians and hair specialists said my
case was one of dandruff germs, hair
microbes. &c, but nothing that they
gave me did the slightest good. On
the contrary, my hair seemed to come
out even faster. and 1 was now fearful
lest l should become entirely bald. In
my despair a friend told me of an
Ecuador herb which he said would
positively grow hair on any head
where the hair roots were not entirely
gone, and he said the natives of the
country where it grew We're famous
for their beautiful long hair. Upon
medical advice l combined this herb
with Bay Rum and Menthol Crystals
and Immediately began its use. In
three applications it entirely stopped
the intense itching of my scalp and
in very short time it not only stopped
my falling hair. but l noticed an album
dance of new hair coming in. In less
than one month my hair was longer,

A Glad Prospect.

A scientist AYERS mans mental energy
will gain
Momentum, till at last there's little
left of him but brain!
He'll have his eyes and ears, of course
to listen and to see
And vocal organs to communicate his
fancies free.
But he won't have any liver to be get
ting out of plumb,
Nor any stomach to rebel and leave
him hurt and glum.
He'll need no gay chiropodist to heir
him get about
And he'll never know the grief of be-
ing threatened with the govt.
Oh, glorious prophecy Of bliss for all
our human kind!
Oh, grand subordination of material
things to mind!
Well view the situation without feel
ings of regret
When a simple touch OF headache is
the worst that we can get.

WHY NOT STOP THAT ITcHr
Conkey Drug Company Assures Relief
With Every 25 Cent Bottle.

Conkey Drug Co. Of this town says
that they have found indisputable
proof that eczema can be cured-not
in one or two cases, but in scores of
cases which he has studied.
He would, of course. not think of
making such a recommendation to his
neighbors and patrons, were it not
that his years and years of success
with D. d. d. Prescription enables him
to speak of this remedy with conf
dence. 1t is a gentle. soothing wash
with the mild oil of wintergreen as a
base. All the cures seem to be perma-
nent, at any rate, a trial bottle at %
cents will take away the itch at once
instantly. We are sure of this.

AN OLD WOAAN'S SAY.
By EDWIN A. NYE.

George Bernard Shaw is an eccentric
Irishman who writes problem plays.
Once in awhile Shaw gets hold Of a
big truth.
In a recent play of his scrubwom-
an gets up from her task Of hopping
the marble floor of the English war Of
fee and engages in argument with the
chief of the war council.
Decidedly the shrewd old woman
gets the better Of the war lord in the
debate, which is about war and equal
suffrage.
The working woman very bluntly
says that woman in childbirth runs 4
greater risk than the soldier on the
battlefield-and for a better purpose.
Which is a poser for the general.
Moreover
In the course of the discussion the
plucky female says that men are SOL
diers because the loss Of men in war
is less injurious to the world than
would be the loss Of a like number Of
women!
There, now.
Is there not q lot of truth In the old
lady's homely statement: The more
you think OF it the more you are like
to compare it with the boys wad.
which. the more you chaw it the big
ger it gets
The old. threadbare reason for deny
ing to women the rights OF suffrage on
the ground that they cannot bear arms
in battle is rather disposed Of. and
one begins to see. as claimed by the
scrubwoman. that the soldier is a
mere loafer by the side Of the woman
who performs a woman's function.
The soldier destroys; the woman pro-
duces
Now the statesmen OF England.
whose fighting is done by proxy, have
prohibited Shaw's play.
You see. they don't want the women
to get the scrubwoman's argument
into their heads.
The statesmen want the mothers Of
the common people to go down into
the valley of the Shadow Of Death
about once = year in order that they
may bear sons who will be food for
the dumdum bullets Of the dervish
driven natives Of Arabia. the fanaticai
fighters Of South Africa or the mutt
neers in India.
The women Of England and Of the
world have been furnishing this battle
food for many generations. and down
through the centuries has come the
mourning wall of the RacheIs refus-
ing to be comforted.

Complaints are neAFO.
We sometimes hear complaints that
the old days of plain living and high
thinking are gone. that wealth has ov-
erthrown our college democracy; that
multiplicity of studies has undermined
our curriculum, that athletic and So
cial interests have usurped the place
in the mind of the student which
rightfully belongs TO intellectual pur,
suits. You have seen enough of Am
erican student life to know that these
complaints have scant foundation:
that in its essence the American col
lese of 1910 is no less democratic and
far more intellectual than the Ameri-
can college of 1880 or 1850. l, is true
that the educational problems of to-
day are more complex and in some re-
spects more difficult than those which
beset our fathers. The increase Of
wealth has made it harder to insist on
iety of studies has made it harder to
maintain unity of intellectual and NOR
al ideals. But the same high purposes
which inspired the fathers still ami
mate the children.
You will find among all the institu-
tons with which you come in contact
a spirit of helpfulness and cooperation
in realizing these purposes. Differ
ences of opinion as to the means there
always will be: as 10 the end, and as
to the spirit in which that end is to
be approached. you will find but one
opinion | welcome you into associa-
x.~ -;.l Ill
and professors whose burdens are
heavy and whose sponsibLlities are
heavy, but who find both burdens and
responsibilities lightened by associa-
ton in a common cause for which all
stand shoulder to shoulder.

Partisan nominations were recognized.
The party controlling the majority of
the council became absolutely domi-

were controlled by the majority and
the minority denied voice in the Sc
lection of the personnel of the various
city departments.
THE members of the council being
elected from wards recognized the par
amount Importance and influence Of
their respective wards and failed TO
consider the interests of other sections
Of the city. Combinations were effect

men. who could not be elected from

of their lack of responsibility to the

the board were not selected as rule
by reason of their qualifications to per-
form the duties incident to the office.
Citizens who felt that their interests
were lost sight of, applied to the board
for recognition. They were informed
that the matters in question came more
particularly within the purview of the
council. The council referred the in
dignant citizens to the council commit
tee, which in turn referred them to
some other department of the city The
system, therefore. involved great weak
