MRS. MORRISON AND SOCIETY

To those Americans who have
CLEANED their ideas of exclusive So
ciety from popular fiction, the opin-
ions of Mrs. ]. l.. D. Morrison are in
teresting because of their novelty.
Mrs. Morrison, the acknowledged arbi-
tress of the most exclusive society
of st. Louis, recently said that refine
ment, good-manners, and culture were
necessary for success in the most ex-
elusive society of st. Louis. while a
large income was not In much
of the fiction of today, a character
is socially success in proper
ton to his income. When this
ceases, he too, ceases as far as the
social world is concerned. Accord
ing to Mrs. Morrison, the good, old
fashioned virtues are what really
count in st. Louis, as well as in any
other society. She also adds that
great deal depends on ones ability to
meet people. She says nothing at
all about the ability to snub people,
which is often emphasized in the cur
rent stories of high life"
Mrs. Morrison says it is harder 20
found a society in this country, where
so few of the elect are landowners,
than in the countries where lands are
more essential. This condition is not
to be regretted if it has resulted IN
placing premium on "the good, old
fashioned virtues" in the best society
of American.

Missouri Spirit and the Mill Tax

Why can't the much discussed Mis-
sodri spirit that won the Thanksgiving
game last year, win the mill tax con.
test this year? 1t is a mistake to
think that school spirit shows itself
only in athletics. In the history of
every educational institution are Goa.
tests OF far greater Importance than
any that take place on the athletic
held. The University of Missouri is
now engaged in such contest. In
the campaign for the mill tax more
spirit is needed than was DISPLAYED
IN beating Kansas. Every student
should believe in the Eleventh Amend
ment and get away from that attitude
|of: Il hope that the Eleventh Amend
'ment will be passed-but I have nv
doubts about it,
TIE greatest effort is never en-
pended on something that is not ex-
pected to succeed. The Eleventh
Amendment can not be carried if the
students do not believe in it and work
'for it. Every voter should 90 home
and vote. and every student who can,
should go home and work for it. Last
year the Missouri spirit caused the
students to flock to Kansas City or,
Thanksgiving day. This same spfri,
If it is still in existence-will make
the students Just as anxious to 90
home and work for the mill tax as
they were to see the Thanksgiving
game last year.

WORK

Mans mission in the world is TO
work. Mans work varies as men are
different. Some people say by their
actions Il was born not to work"
There is no room in the world for
them. They must soon give their
places to workers.
Work is a blessing; idleness is a
curse. The happiest persons in the
world are those who work most. The
most dangerous member of society is
he who will not earn his bread by
the sweat of the brow" The no.
bility of labor is doctrine preached
too little.
Some think that education is to find
out how to get along without working.
Education is to enable one to work
more and harder. 1t seems natural
to say, "Pm too busy But the late
William James said the most of us
are lounging on our jobs.
The key that unlocks the door to
success is called Work" Other KEYS
have been tried from the foundation
of the world, but they all have proved
useless. The key to success is not
gold-plated.

Wants More Music.

To the Editor Of the University Missourian:
Why not have more concerts by the
band at assembly. Everybody knows
that of all forms of recreation-and
that's the primary purpose of the as
sembly-prOgrams by the cadet band
are the most popular. Whether it
speaks well for the students of the
University or not, the observer will
find that there are small attendancas
at ordinary lectures and instructive
programs, while the auditorium is
packed at band concert Students
get tired of ordinary lectures-it's too
much like classroom work, and they
want a change-something to inspire
them, and there's nothing like music
for inspiration. As soon as the Uni
versity orchestra gets organized we
should get to hear frequent programs
by it. but in the meantime let's have
the band--aS often as once week.
There would be no danger of intere, 4.

NOT A "GET.RIcH.oUIcK" SCHEME

Amendment No. II" is not get
rich-quick scheme for the University
as some people have supposed. As
a matter of fact the amount which
would be received from the mill tax
would, for the present, be less than
that appropriated by the legislature.
But this amount could be counted upon
as certain. 1t is much more business
like for an enterprise to have it's re-
sources determined so that those who
have the business administration in
hand can figure ahead.
The amount which would be re-
ceived from the mill tax would in
crease from year to year. This in
crease would be due to the increasing
valuation of the property of the state.
1t would be gradual. The demands
made upon the University by the state
gradually increase. From year to
year more students enroll. A wider
range of courses is called for. A great
deal of dissatisfaction arises if stu
dents are unable to get the courses
in which they are primarily interested.
If the state annually increases its
requirements of the University why
shouldn't the University expect that
the state will give it annually increas-
ing support?

found in any small town.
2of course the opportunity to view
the exhibit will be welcomed by this
community The paintings are well
worth seeing. They contribute to.
ward the liberal education for which
the University of Missouri really
stands. 1t is more important to know
and appreciate the beauty of a work
OF art than to succeed in many things
that are purely material.
Beyond the personal pleasure and
profit that may be derived from
merely viewing the exhibit, it should
be- privilege for the people of Co.
lumbia to join the Art Lovers Guild

THE eleventh AMENDMENT

. The chief value of the Eleventh
Amendment will be in the certainty,
-. and not in the size of the income that
It furnishes to the University. As
has been pointed out by ]. v. C.
Karnes, member of the. Board Of
Curators, 1t would now provide total
OF only $464,10O, which is about the
same as is appropriated annually by
the legislature for University support
This. income will increase along with
the wealth of the state and the de-
mands made upon the University. 1t
will take away the uncertainty that
now exists concerning the university's
future. The best results cannot be
obtained in making plans for the i'm
provement of the school when it is
not known whether or not there will
be enough capital to carry out those
plans. II the Eleventh Amendment is
carried the University will not have to
depend on the will of the legislature
or, the death of rich spinsters and
bachelors for its support. t. -
The income from the mill tax will
be. comparatively small, but it will
be. certain, and will enable the Uni
versity to carry on its affairs more
systematically and thus get the great
est possible results from the funds
It uses.

YOU CAN INTEREST HIM
Any Man Over Fifty.

You can interest any man over fifty
years OF age in anything that will
make him feel better, because while
he may not as yet have any positive
organic disease he no longer feels the
tuoyancy and vigor Of twenty-five nor
the freedom from aches and pains he
enjoyed in earlier years, and he very
naturally examines with interest any
proposition looking to the improve
raent and preservation Of his health.
He will notice among other things
that the stomach Of fifty is a very diff
ferent one from the stomach he pos
sessed at twenty-five. That greatest
care must be exercised as to what IS
eaten and how much of It. and even
with the best Of care, there will be
increasing digestive weakness with
advancing years.
A proposition to perfect or improve
the digestion and assimilation Of food
is one which interests not only every
man Of fifty but every man, woman
and child Of any age, because the
whole secret Of good health, good
blood, strong nerves, is to have stom-
ach which will promptly and thorough
ly digest wholesome food because
blood, nerves, brain tissue and every
other constituent of the body is en-
tirely the product of digestion, and no
medicine or health" food can posi-
bly, create pure blood or restore shaky
nerves, when a weak stomach is re-
plenishing the daily wear and tear Of
the body from a mass of fermenting
half-digested food.
No. the stomach itself wants help
to Oh It'll
wants direct, unmistakable assistance,
such as is given by one or two Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets after each meal.
These tablets cure stomach trouble
because their use gives the stomach a
chance to rest and recuperate; one Of
Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets contains
digestive elements sufficient to digest
$1,000 grains Of ordinary food such as
bread, meat, eggs, etc.
The plan of dieting is simply anoth-
er name for starvation, and the use of
prepared foods and new tangled break
fast foods simply makes matters
worse as any dyspeptic who has tried
them knows.
As DR.. Bennett says, the only reason
can imagine why Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets are not universally used by
everybody who is troubled in any way
with poor digestion is because many
people seem to think that because a
medicine is advertised Or is sold in
drug stores or is protected by trade
mark must be humbug whereas as a
matter Of truth any druggist who is
observant knows that Stuart's Dyspep-
STA Tablets have cured more people Of
indigestion, heartburn, heart trouble,
nervous prostration and run down con-
dition generally than all the patent
medicines and doctors prescriptions
for stomach trouble combined
