Epilepsy, Fits, St. Vitus'
Dance and Spasns, are all nerv-
Gus diseases. They have been
cured in so many instances with
DIR. Miles Nervine that it is
reasonable to conclude that it is
almost sure to cure you. With
nervous diseases of a severe
type, persistent use has almost
invariably resulted in complete
cure or lasting benefits, worth
many times the cost of the REM
edy. The best evidence you can
get OF its merits is to write to
those who have used it. Get a
bottle from your druggist. Take
it all according to directions, and
if it does not benefit he will re-
turn your money.

Washburn Official to
Business Students
Vice President Harrison Talks
at Dougherty's.

Dr. H. B. Harrison, who has recently
come to Washburn as vice president Of
that institution. gave one of the "Prac-
teal Talks by Practical Men," at
Dougherty's Business College Wednes-
day. 1t was one of the most vigorous.
pithy, and all around stimulative talks
which the students have heard. He
said in part:
II have found that there definite. con-
crete rules upon which business success
depends The first of these is prompt
ness, definiteness, accuracy. The BUSH
ness world has no time for the man
who is minute behind time.
Next is adaptability with inventive
ness All business men have ways pc
GUITAR to themselves. Some of your
employers ideas may be contrary to
what you have been taught. You NAV
really know better than he does, but
you must adapt yourself to the condf-
lions you meet in order to succeed.
another thing without which you
VIII never succeed unless you have a
good deal of money, is good cheer. II
you feel grouchy when you start out
in the morning never let anyone know
it. A fund of good cheer in your soul
has, in itself, the power to win.
And you must add to good cheer
stick-to-it-ative ness. People who arc
holding big positions are not those who
have been the brightest in he begin
ming, who have made the biggest strike
at first, but those who have had the
determination and grit to fight their
way I'D.
And finally you must have unouaIi-
fed, downright and upright honesty. I
grant there are men who have succeed
ed in sense who are not honest, but
sooner or later we find them out. The
federal prison at Leavenworth, holds
thirty-f1ve bankers.
There is good field in the world
today for the dreamer. for the men and
women who have high visions OF the
future. 1 don't want you to be salts
fed with the small things. Fill the
small position, overflow it. Do more
than is required, overflow with your
usefulness Be the efficient individual;
have a high vision; say Anything IS
possible to me- because anything IS
possible.
II believe that the man who casts his
lot with young men and women
whose work is to prepare them for eff
fciency. is performing the greatest
work possible in this world. He stands
at the very fountain of things. bring
you the greetings Of Washburn college
and I congratulate you upon the SPLEEN

splendid work you are doing, looking

Comment.

An interesting feature in connection
with the theater party which the State
Journal held on Tuesday evening at the
Grand on the occasion of the presenta-
ton of The Servant in the House was
that among all the invited guests who
have expressed themselves in regard
to the play including ministers, club
women, school teachers, leaders in Ia
Dor unions and members of the Social
list party there was not one who had
any unfavorable comment to make.
Especially were the ministers en-
thusiastic over the play. Rev. Mr..
Thos. S. Young made the statement
that he had anticipated that the play
would be good but his expectations
were more than realized. DR.. F. N.
Lynch who was called away to a
church conference Wednesday morning
and did not have time to submit a
exclaimed. Fine, fine" and seemed to
enjoy it immensely.
The criticisms follow:
Minister'S Plea for Theatrical UpIift.
From a moral standpoint no one but
a religious pervert could find fault with
this play. Such a one would probably
object to a theater as a building and
to a play of any kind.
ITO whatever we attribute its fault
it is nevertheless true that in modern
not contributing to the upbuilding of
the morals of the community. Unques-
tionably there have been and are today
an increasing number of plays that are
retarding this bad influence. The Ser
want in the House is probably one of
the best of these exceptions.
IF these exceptions could be multi
piled so that they would become the
rule and the Objectionable plays the ex-
ceptions, the stigma attached to theater
going would vanish and the institutions
might become a mighty force of right
eousness in the community.
1T has been suggested that if the re-
ligious people of the community would
attend the best plays and then if any
thing Objectionable was presented,
either hiss or leave the house. that it
would soon work a reform. The man
ayers after all desire to please their
patrons and will have respect for ap-
prevail or disapprovaL
Probably this theory is right, but
who among the religious or any other
class of right-tl'inking people would not
prefer to forego the pleasures and
benefits of the theater rather than be-
come conspicuous as hissers or by leav-
Ing the house in the midst of the play?

A Teachers Oriticisrn.

THE Servant in the House is a ser
mon play. Its theme, the universal
brotherhood of man, always strikes a
popular chord. The potentiality of
self abnegation is impressively brought
out. The acting is of a high order,
and the cast well chosen and nicely
balanced.
THE small number of characters
in the play and their relative impor-
lance makes it difficult to distinguish
the star. The Bishop of Benares, dis
guised as Manson. the butler, breath
ing the spirit of sacrifice and broth
erly love is the hero of the play, if it
has hero. His personality and mas
terful mind dominates throughout and
directs the course of events from the
beginning to the end.
There is neither plot nor intrigue.
The first scene reveals the whole story
and the audience is relieved of any
necessity of anticipating the sequence
of events. The play is wholesome and
effective and is devoid of dramatic sit
uations and humor. So intensely Sc
rious is it that the slight applause that
was given at irregular intervals SEEM
ed harsh and illtimed.
The lessons taught by the play are
as worthy of the thoughtful laymen as
the clergy.

Whether or not the author sought his

This appeals to me as play with
a purpose. It evidently was not put
on the stage for the amusement of an
audience; hardly for its entertainment.

to make better the masses.

No great question of economics or

1.-The play can hardly be considered
a church play, for I can not conceive
the character of the Rev. Lord Bishop

in any general sense Therefore, the
general scheme of the play seems to
me to represent largely an incident of
human life-one that no doubt has
many counterparts in the world-and
becomes the vehicle through which is
presented in a striking manner the
varying emotions, vices and virtues of
humanity. 1t occurred to me that

of a misguided ambition for wealth,

noble qualities that lie deep in the heart
of man, however, were brought out
and developed most splendidly under
the powerful influence of Manson, the

doctrine that all mankind is my
