"FOR THE PUBLIC HEALTH"
gists Covering Wide Territory
With Beneficial Results.

Our last issue contained an an
nouncement of the organization of
the American Drug and Press AS
ISOLATION, the membership of which
consists exclusively of newspaper
men and druggists throughout the
United States, who have undertaken
to cope with the prepared medicine
situation, in the interest of the pub
lie health, realizing the many inef-
ficient preparations that have for
many years been sold to the pub
lie, without giving them the benefit
claimed for them.
We are pleased to state that the
association has grown rapidly from
the beginning. Newspaper men and
druggists have been quick to recog-
nize the fact that in this association
lies the solution of the patent
medicine" problem. The big pat
ent medicine houses have been
built up unsuspectingly by the
newspapers and druggists of the
country, and now these same pro-
LESSONS propose to join hands for
the benefit of the public, in adver-
Using and selling preparations, the
contents of which they know, and
the merit of which they are conf
dent.
A complete line of medicinal, an
tiseptic and toilet preparations, and
many other items of general use,
are being manufactured in the la
boratories Of the association, from
| formulas adopted by the association
after the most careful and conscien-
tious Investigations, selected from
hundreds of formulas submitted by
members of the association in all
parts of the country.
There are no secrets-the ingre-
dents of every preparation are
known to every druggist who sells
them, no poisonous or injurious
drugs, nothing but absolute purity
in every instance; something which
the public can place dependence
upon, being assured that they will
get the very best produced.
The goods are sold as reasonable
as 1t is possible to produce reliable
preparations. They are being made
by association labor. in the associa-
tion laboratories, purchased direct
by the druggists belonging to the
association, and sold without mid
clemens profit.
i These goods are not "cure-alls.'
There is specific remedy or prep
aration for each ailment or purpose
intended, compounded especially fol-
that purpose. They are put up II
beautiful, attractive packages. full
measure, with the purity and quail
ity guaranteed.

RESPONSIBILITY AND RIGHTS

| I'm the government of the Univer-
sity, the president and faculty rely
chiefly OF the sense of duty of the
students" The above sentence is
from the University catalogue. Sense
of duty, and responsibility, are synon-
omous terms. Every student owes
something to the community, to tho
University and to the people respoil-
sible for sending him here. The Uai-
versity's first purpose is to train the
mind and make it better qualified to
meet the problems of every day life.
These problems may be economic or
moral or any other of several kinds
and the man who has the benefit of
a college training is, naturally, better
ntted for the solving of these prob
lens. Therefore, every student owes
it to himself and TO the people lie
will come into contact with in after
life to make the best of his training.
He must think ON subjects worth
while and he must avoid the intellec-
tual fads that now and then sweep
over college community While he
is attending the University, his first
duty is loyalty and by this is not
meant roofing for team or going
out for the glee club. 1t means tire
less and unceasing labor in behalf of
his school. getting behind every move
ment that promises to help the in
terests Of the University and working
till they so thru. His college life is
foreshadowing of his destiny and

les here depends his ultimate sue

roads in better. shape. A large COM
pany can always specialize and do bet
ter work at the same cost than small
company. No more money would be
used than at present. Only it would
be used to better advantage. There
are no serious arguments advanced
against the adoption of this amend
ment. So, when we are voting the
mill-tax through in November, let us
carry the good roads amendment Also

"WHILE the SUN SHINES"

1t is little less than month until
election day Just so much time re-
mains to boost he mill-tax amend
ment. Every day from now to Nov.
8 should be made count, for the fate
OF Amendment No. IL" will not be
certain until the precincts are closed.
No longer ago than Oct 6 there
were some students of the University
who were ignorant of what Amend
ment No. H. is. There may still be
some in this class. No student, no
matter if he has been here only lit
tie while, can be excused for such in
difference and negligence.
The Importance of the mill tax. to
the University ought to be impressed
upon the mind of every man and wom-
an OF the University so that from now
until Nov. s each one will talk. write
and dream min tax.

ALL TOGETHER NOW.

The football victory over Iowa yes
terday should unite the students in a
spirit that will give Missouri another
never defeated team this season.
Let us start now. There is much
to be done before we claim the true
Missouri spirit.
Every student must work seriously
for the University. We must get to-
gether, work together and stay to-
gether. Always marching toward the
goal-a greater University in every
way.

THE POLITICAL CLUBS

Two political clubs have been or
ganized by students in the University
OF Missouri. The members of both
clubs are endeavoring to get trans
portation so that they can go home to
vote. A great many students are
more than twenty-one years of age
and it is well that they should be TAX
ing an interest in political affairs. Col
lege training should have an impor-
tant influence on political questions.
The college student should be bet
ter able to judge the rightness Or
Wrongness of a political principle he
should be better able to Judge men.
1t is credit to the University of Mis-
souri, that its students of voting age
have taken so great an interest in DO
litical affairs.

University Chat.
KEEP THE CAMPUS CLEAN

The notice issued by Mr.. Horace
F. Major, the new superintendent of
grounds at the University of Missouri
in regard to the posting of advertis-
ing matter and announcements over
| the campus promiscuously should BE-
needed by every student. The order
provides that all notices shall be dis
played on bulletin boards in the differ
ent buildings, instead of on the build
ings and posts around the University,
and that the regulation of matter
placed on the bulletin boards shall
be left to him.
Ihls move for a more slightly cam
pus IS commendable one. The cam
pus often is strewn with paper and
bills, and announcements and posters
are stuck in every conceivable place.
In the campaign for a campus beauti-
ful, the new superintendent intends
first to rid the University grounds of
waste paper and unsightly notices, and
students, and faculty members as well,
should assist. This can be done mainly
by each individual seeing that he is
not responsible for the appearance
OF either trash or waste paper, or no.
tees or announcements placed else
where than on bulletin boards.
The campus gardener was right
when he said the campus often looked
like small town on circus day. The
idea OF reaching the students by post
ing bills and advertisements at the
entrance to the grounds and in front
OF the buildings has grown until the
campus is stocked with advertising
matter. Placards and posters will
attract just as much attention if thev
arc placed on a bulletin board, and
all students know that they will be
posted at that place.
Students viii get accustomed to look |
ing on he bulletin boards for announce
ments and attractions, and in time the |
advantages Of attracting the students |
attention as soon as he enters the |
grounds will be no better than by plac-
ing the notices on bulletin boards |
provided for that purpose.
Pride for the University and its an
pearance should cause every student
TO abide by the new rule. Keeping
The campus clean should appeal to ev
cry student Just as keeping the streets
and town clean appeals TO every pub
lc spirited citizen. Let's see that the
campus is model in respect to clean-
mess.

HOW JOURNALISM MAY HELP

In the economic development of Mis-
souri,, in the betterment of social con-
ditions, in the exploitation of her nat
ural resources and advantages, and
in every activity which has for its
aim the good of the state, newspapers
must play an effective part.
1t is not sufficient that the Agricul-
tural College and the Experiment Sta
ton should point out method of
getting the same income from half the
acreage. If results are to be expected
people must know about it. 1t is not
enough that Missouri offers to the i'm
migrant good proposition in the
shape of good soil, timber, minerals
and opportunities for the investment
OF capital. These advantages must
be brought to the attention of the man
who is looking for something to bet
ter his condition.
If a movement to make rural life
more attractive, or to increase educa-
tional advantages, or to bring about
some needed change in state or mu-
nicipal government is started, it can
not live long without the support of
the press.
No single branch of journalism can
claim the credit for the influence eX-
erted by the press in behalf of the
state. The country weekly, the met
ropoltan daily, the agricultural jour-
nal, and religious and educational pa
per and magazine each has a field so
peculiarly its own that no one of them
can do the work of the others.
Journalism has been a leading factor
Ill making Missouri better, yet its
work has only begun.

THE ELM TREE

There is a possibility of the Univer-
sity of Missouri rivaling Yale in the
near future-in nothing quite so i'm
portant perhaps as football or the sal
ary of its professors in the elm
trees that surround it. Yale has long
been noted for her elms aRd tn Uni
versity may soon become so if the
owners of the property bordering the
University take advantage of the bar
gain in elm trees that has recently
been offered by H. F. Major.
: Mr.. Major, superintendent of the
University grounds, has agreed to give,
for the cost of removal, more than 200
elm trees OF uniform size, and to care
for them for one year. These trees
must be Nanted forty feet apart along
the streets, bordering University prop
erty.
Here is an opportunity for some of
the property owners of Columbia to
benefit themselves, the town, and the
University. These elms will beautify
the grounds on which they stand,
shade the streets they border, and
'ender an attractive setting to the
already beautiful University grounds.

Alrship flights are taking place all
over the county now without exciting
undue interest. This indicates that

are still greatly interested in long rec

mere fact that an aviator flew few
miles the other day is almost too COM
monplace to mention. Three years
