WORTH KNOWING.
Sim pie, Remedy Tha ca

Simple. Remedy That anyone Can
Prepare at Home.
Most people are more or less subject
to coughs and colds. A simple remedy
that will break up a cold quickly and
cure any cough that is durable is made
by mixing two ounces Of Glycerine, a
half-ounce of Virgin Oil OF Pine com
pound pure and eight ounces of pure
Whisky. You can get these in any good
drug store and easily mix them in a
large bottle. The mixture is highly
recommended by the Leach Chemical
Co. of Cincinnati, who prepare the
genuine Virgin Oil Of Pine compound
pure for dispensing.

The Bee. Sense of Directton.

A French beekeeper made a test
which satisfied him that the sense of
direction is more finely developed in
the bee than in the pigeon. He took
a dozen pigeons and a dozen bees about
eight miles from his garden and there
released them. To recognize the bees
he busted them with flour, and had a
friend stationed neal the hive and well
in view Of the d6vecote. The first bee
arrived home exactly fifteen seconds
before the first pigeon, and their com
eanions followed in due order.

Thum Ds In PIGS,

Thumps in pigs is caused by a SUI
plus of fat and a lack of exercise. Thu
humping is luz to violent beating oil
the heart, causing shaking movement
of the sides and TANKS of the animal
Often it is so violent that the whole
body trembles and shakes with the
movements. In aggravated cases The
pig is weak and uncertain in his
walk, and lies down most of the time
Before death the nose, ears and other
parts of the body become red and pur.
pie with congested blood, due to weak
circulation.
Advanced cases of the thumps are
difficult to cure. When first symptoms
are noticed reduce the bedding if there
Is much in their sleeping quarters;
reduce the feed and compel the pig
to exercise in the open air. Fresh air
will purify the blood and exercise will
promote circulation. When pigs be
come fat and lazy they will lie in bed
a great part of the time, often com
pletely covered with bedding. so that
they breathe impure air and dust.
This poisons the blood and reduces
the vitality in general, which, with
compression of the heart with surplus
fat, causes the malady.
In the spring or summer when pas
ture is good 1t is we'll to change pas
ture of hogs afflicted with the thumps
SO that they will be induced to take
more exercise and eat green food. Re-
duce heavy feeding and keep the
bowels of the animal loose by doses
of castor oil. A little turpentine in
the slop or drinking water is said to
be good.

VIEWPOINTS
Back TIE TIGERS.

To the Editor of the University Missouran:
hurrah Tor the increased spirit
shown by the roolers at the game
Saturday. This Ell elthusiasm is some
thing like it should be. Megaphones
were at premium before the game
and almost everyone seemed to be
supplied. The increased yelling
showed plainly that something had
aroused the students. During the en-
tire game the bleacLers rang with
old Mizzou." That's the spirit to
have; don't be backward; yell out and
.et them know that we are back of the
Tigers The increased ability of the
players and the excellent teamwork,
when the bleachers rang with the
yells, plainly showed the support that
the team attached to the students
back OF them. Also, the spirit of the
rooters in staying after the game was
another good thing. Better stay and
cheer the Tigers, whether they win
or not. 1t SHOWS we are back of them

Will the Women Wait?

To the Editor of the University Missourian:
Where was the spirit OF the women
of the University Of Missouri yester
day afternoon? 1t had been announced
by the yell leaders at the football
game that the crowd would sing "Old
Missouri" Immediately after the finish
whether Missouri won or not. The
band played and practically every per-
son on the north bleacher stood with
barred head and sang. On the south
side, "the wCmen's section" they
scrambled down off their seats and
started home as unconcerned as if
they had been leaving circus. If
the women can't yell, they can at
least show some spirit by the proper
reverence for "Old Missouri"
The singing of Old Missouri" is
an appropriate finish to all Missouri
football games. BuBt when it is sung
again will the "women's section"
kindly remain standing.

by the barber concerning the weather,
the threatened street car strike, and
other live topics, and. while the ton
serial operator was combing his hair.
the customer ventured to take a part
in the conversation himself.

THE FOOTBALL EXTRA.

It may not be out Of place. just now,
fer the University Missourian to hand
itself a bouquet Oh its extra edition
of yesterday morning. The issue Gov
cred the local football game in a
graphic and detailed manner. 1t also
furnished complete stories of foot
ball contests in adjoining states and
gave the results in all the Eastern
fields.
From whatever point one views this
extra-that of news, style of presenta-
tion or mechanical-it pleases.
This edition, almost in its entirety,
was the product of students in the
School OF Journalism of the University
of Missouri. The single exception was
the work performed by the foreman
OF the composing room.
The detailed account of the game in
Columbia, the various feature stories
the editorial page, the general news
happenings OF the day-all were sup
piled and told of by students in the
School of Journalism.
The linotype composition, proofread
ing and presswork were done entirely
by students, as was much of the other
mechanical work.

Let the Seniors Cheer. Too.

To the Editor of the University Missourian:
To have college spirit man must
have a habit of enthusiasm for every
thing that concerns the glory of his
university. When I'VE" built the new
bleachers, many persons said, you
can't sell the badges" but the unity
of feeling in the student body forced
the men into line and the badges
sold. We can't have the real thing
in college spirit until that force of
unified student opinion holds true for
every day in the year. A man ought
to feel as much ashamed of being
caught away from Rollins Field when
there is a football game there as he
would have felt two years ago had
he been caught without a ''bleacher
badge"
Sometimes men that are good at
talking enthusiasm in a meeting or
applauding it there are not so good
at yelling it through a megaphone
from the bleachers on Rollins Field.
Such must not be the case now. 1t
is not beneath the dignity of any
senior to get out there with a mega.
phone and yell like a freshman.

mean to fawn upon, to beStow smiles
upon those from whom the most bene-
fit can be gotten. And the use of the
word has come to such pass that
to be ordinarily courteous to pro-
lessor, to feel friendly toward him,
and show it, to even make a pleasant
remark about the weather to him in
passing is grating" According to
our standard Of fairness anything
more than cecil nod or lifting of the
hat to your teacher is "grafting" And
the result is that we are cutting our
selves off from a cultural advantage
which can be obtained in no other way
in cur university life. Friendly inter
course with our professors would give
US a broader outlook, wider under
standing OF things. We could see
things from their experienced, cultured
point of view, those things which our
immature judgments fail completely
to grasp. 1t is net grating to attend
their lectures, why should it be graft
ing to learn from them outside OF
the class room?

do when they hoot derisively at the

Making Eetter Citizens.

New York city has thrown open its
first public trade or vocational school
that will turn ont journeymen, al
though the aim of its instructors will
be to make graduates as proficient as
possible in their chosen branches of
manual labor The view in New York
IS that boy Of fourteen is incapaci-
tated for shop work by his ordinary
school training, and he must be taken
under these conditions and trained
for the vocational work that is ahead.
He must be given non-vocational train
ing in line with his aspirations for at
least one-fourth of his time, and then
trained under conditions which ap-
proach as nearly as possible to those
which are encountered in actual shop
work as wage-earners. The launch.
ing of trade school enterprises by pub
lie school systems throughout the
country is to be attended by the ap
plication Of the theories of manual
training and trade school instructors
The idea Of intoxicating respect among
American youth for labor with the
next quarter of a century that will
exert an influence for the better in
every department of industry-Haver

The Seuenth Column
Bleacher Gods A. D. 40.

The bleacherites who had been bak-
ing on the sun seats in the Coliseum
for three hours were discussing the
dope.
Il see Vario's killing average took
a drop this week." casually remarked
sport follower watching the fungo
practice, wherein three toothless lions
were trying to eXterminate three
equally decrepit tigers.
Remember he was crippled, broth
er, and could fight only with one
hand" said another enthusiast THAT
Nubian lion he fought tore off cne of
his hands before he could slay the
monster. Truly it was a gallant bat
tie"
Yet four tigers, two wild boars and
a Christian seems mighty poor work
even for a champion with a bum
digit" contended the first.
I'm watching this minor Lacquer
from Egypt" continued third fan.
Did you see him sail into those Ger
man captives that double header last
Ides of March? Not one did he have
to hit twice. That's what | call eff
| fective work, for those Northern fel-
lows have tough hides. The sporting
writer for the Acta Diurna predicts
that he will cop the worlds champion
ship in a few years at the rate he is
/ going.
Il wonder, was old Chilo ever traded
/ to Alexandria," unused another.
There was a gladiator who would
have drawn his five talents a game
had he left the wine shops alone"
He left the shops alone all right,
corrected his neighbor. For when
his money was spent, the friends who
entered with him found others. And
no more gentlemanly gladiator outside
of the arena could be found than
! Ch:lo. All, this hard, cruel world
/ The best of us must 60
The best have gone" gloomily
added the second ian. Il tell you
/ Rome viii! never have another team
nike that 20 a. d. bunch. To this
Iay | an fond of hearing my father
/ tell OF those times. Pshaw! The
game has degenerated in our days OF
/ helmets and armour. Men do not
/ fight as they did in that grand old
| epoch when the team from Athens
| attempted to wrest the flag from
Rome. o, the battle they had! My
/ father says it took ten cart loads OF
saw dust to cover the blood in the
anphitheatre. But, alas, those days
are over"
All of which shows that Roman
! bleacherites could sling the dope as
we'll as the latter day product.
