difficult to answer. The London bug

seven miles an hour in double harness

horses used to do 26 miles with one

Il have known the horses in the
heavy deer van of H. M. Buckhounds
to do over so miles in a day." says a
writer in Country Life in America, but
they We're never worked more than
twice week. A good horse will trot
his 20 to 80 miles day for several
days consecutiyely, but cannot keep it
up; he may dc, 60 miles in one day, but
then must have rest the next.
Small honses, other things being
equal, stand more work and recover
more quickly than big horses. Some
remarkable instances of the powers OF
ponies are given in William Days book,
which records a run Of 1O7 miles in IA
hours by two, boys on ponies and one
of 172 miles in 231a hours by a 12-hanG

President James on Hazina,

President James, of the University
of Illinois, issued the following address
to the students of the university on the
subject of hazing:
There should be no misunderstand-
ing on the part of the student body or
the general public as to the attitude
Of the authorities of the University of
Illinois OH the subject of hazing.
1t is rule of the board of trustees
that students found guilty of hazing
shall be dismissed from the university.
Since this rule went into effect, all
students who have been clearl-- proven
guilty of hazing have been dismissed.
Hazing is a violation of good man
ners and of the right of Individual lib
erty 1T is provocation of public dis
order. Public opinion throughout the
state has Very properly set its seal of
condemnation upon it, On all accounts
it must be put under the ban of the
university.
In its milder forms it is nonscn-
steal and almost idiotic form of amusc-
ment. unworthy of the support or favor
of any sensible university student. 1t
was looked upon as a comparatively
slight offense perhaps 20 years ago in
small institutions. 1t is today alto
2cthcl. unworthy of the traditions and
reputation of a national institution
such as this has become.
In it's coarser forms, llazing is a vul
gar, brutal. always dcmoralizing and
sometimes dangerous form of sport,
which the university cannot counte-
nance or tolerate. 1t naturally leads to
repsals and may thus become source
of serious disorder within and without
the university In it's worst forms.
which fortunately, have not prevailed
here, it may. not inapty. be compared
with night riding. white-capping and
other similar forms of outrageous in
terferencc with private and public
rights.
Surely these are reasons enough not
only to forbid its existence at the uni
Nersity but to use every legitimate
means to stamp ii out.
All loyal and law-abiding students
are especially requested to cooperate
with the authorities in putting an alb
solute end to this custom, which, in
addition to the evil it does within the
university. brings dishonor upon the
fair name of our alma mater through
! out the state and country and naturally
| begets prejudice against us which in
fucnces unfavorably the prosperity OF

A Denial from HIGH Authority.

From National Food Magazine. Chicago.
Or III. W. Wiley. chief chemist of
the agricultural department, has de-
manded of the Calumet Baking Pow
der company, of Chicago. that it cease
the publication of alleged certificates
or statements that ne had endorsed
the Calumet Baking Powder, or re-
ported in favor of it's purity, whole
someness or superiority. Such state
ments, he says. are false.
DR.. Wiley never served upon COM
mittee of awards, as alleged nor signed
such IL report or certificate, nor did he
ever intlorse the Calumet Baking, pow
der in any way. On the contrary, DR.
Wiley testified before a congressional
committee relative to alum in food, as
follows: AS / have said repeatedly,
do not use it in my own home and
would not use alum in bread ii knew
it. Alum is Injurious"
1t seems that Dr. Wiley's demand
that the Calumet company should cease
these publications, which are, he says
against the TRUTH was not compiled
with. although he says he has done
all he could ito stop the base and in
excusable use of his name.''
The public will share in DR.. Wiley's
Indignation that his name and official
position should be fraudulently USED
to aid in foisting upon consumers a
food compound made from ingredients
which the doctor has publicly declared
to be injurious.
