AT THE COLLEGE

The first performance Of THE
Straightaway," the Whitman college
circus, will be given in the gymnasium
this evening, under the direction of the
Associated students, and no end of fun
is promised those who attend. All day
yesterday and the day previous, the
students who have the event in charge
labored in the gym fixing up the diff
ferent shows and putting on the finish
ing touches for the big opening. Stu
dents at Whitman, many of whom have
returned for the opening of school are
thinking ''Straightaway.'' talking
"Straightaway," dreaming straight
away" living "Straightaway," and as
things now look, the show will open to
the public this evening with one of the
best endeavors ever put forth by COL
legians of the institution. The idea Of
the "Straightaway'' is to raise funds
with which to liquidate the debt now
hanging over the student association
1.-THE Straightaway" will consist of
one large show in the big tent ana
eight side shows. All of these are plan
ned with the idea of creating fun at
the expense of the college students,

A FAT WOMAN HATES SOCIETY

Fat people have to get into clothes
that are designed for people Of nor
NAL physique. The men wear dress
suits and look like comic pictures. The
women wear low necked dresses to
their evident humiliation. This is
why it is often said that a fat wo-
man hates society. Fat is as much
the mistake of poor health as any
thing else. The things that make fat
should be making good blood, bone and
nerves. The secret is that the diges-
tive machinery is out of gear. The
juices make fat in too large quantities.
This fat inpedes circulation, cramps
the heart, suppresses the liver, crowds
the lungs and interferes with the sto-
mach Marmola Tablets are harmless.
They are taken after each meal. They
help digest that meal as nature in
tended it should be digested. They
remove the fat already made at the
rate of from II to Is ounces day and
they leave no flabby skin or wrinkles.
They are sold wherever drugs are sold,
or in the same category with harmful
patent fat reducers. They contain

to make the circus a success and 1t
is to his efforts more than any one else
that many Of the attractions will be
introduced in this city.
It is expected that the gymnasium
will be filled tonight with a happy
bunch of college students and town
people There will be plenty of fun,
lots of laughter, and the show promises
to be a sure cure for the crouch
The circus will give two performances,
one tonight and one tomorrow night.
Confetti will be conspicuous. One of
the things that make the collegians
think that the circus will be a success
is the great attention which is being
given to the parts by the different
students and the consequent loss OF
time to college studies AS soon as
the interest in studies begins to lag,
then the faculty gets busy. And as
soon as the faculty gets busy the
students who are directing the show
feel that they are on the high road to
two successful performances.

is, the unwillingness to try new
schemes and the too hasty aptitude
to Knock The second idea brought
forth by the speaker was that con-
corning our willingness to trust our
own mental powers. He said that
many Americans think that if Taft
Roosevelt and other great leaders of
the nation were killed. what would
become of the country? The third
idea advanced was that there is at
present no danger of the old idea of
Mathis becoming true. He declared
that if all the fifteen hundred million
people of the world were allowed q
space of two by six feet that two
thirds of Rhode Island, or one-third
OF Walla Walla county would hold
them.
The later part of the speech was
given over to a discussion Of Henry
George The idea Of this great eco
nomist was High land means cheap
men," Money in the hands of few
means poverty for many. Tax the
land like the Dutch in Java, who
force all the land to be cultivated.
Tax the landlord who owns the I'M
owned increment Do not tax the
other part which is produced and
which is the result of labor. Alex
ander Hamilton the statesman who
did so much to formulate the laws
Of our country in the early part Of
the government has said, "TaXes must
come from either commerce or land"
Don't tax commerce, tax the land
lord who is not a worker. The land
lord is not taxed at all for he simply
adds the taxes to the price of the
rental and continues to make his cap
ital brig him in the same per cent

More Troubles.

The valves in the steam radiators
in the city hall are giving no end Of
trouble this winter, and it is only with
constant care and labor thsk the var
ions offices are kept properly heated.
The valves are said to be of such deli
cate construction that they are cas-
ily put out of commission. and it has
already been necessary to purchase a
number of new ones. The city is tax
ed the sum of $3.50 each for the harm
less-looking little arrangements, and
those in charge Of the heating plant
have it figured to fine point just
how long it will take to bankrupt the
municipality in purchasing radiator
accessories.

feeling certain that water pipes
