Mr.. p. W. SWARTZ SPEAKS

Mr.. r. w. Swartz Of Lafayette college
travelling in the interest of the student
volunteer movement, addressed a large
audience of Alma students Sunday after
noon in the college chapel on the subject
Demands Of the Decisive Hour"
Adelbert Lindley. president of the Y.
M.CA. introduced Mr.. Swartz with
few apt remarks.
The speaker first pointed out that the
ethic religions were assuming an ag-
gressive spirit. that the Amerind,
the Brahman, the Zoroostrain, the Bud
dist and even the lethorgic Confucian
religions were arousing themselves and
were taking positive stand.
Next our own religion was considered
and the intense interest that is now dis
played in the Christian religion by those
who had heretofore sneering ignored it
was pointed out. This like the awaken
ing Of the oriental religions was shown
to be a sign of the new era. Passing
from the Grass ignorance and moral
depravity of the heather world, Mr..
Swartz touched upon new thought and
higher criticism. These two were
especially pertinent to college students.
for with their tendencies toward ration.
alism and agnosticism they demanded
the quick power of Christian decision.
The speaker closed his address with
an earnest plea for men and women to
enter the mission field; volunteers who
with character, common sense, courage
and conservation would consummat
the great work of evangelizing the world
for Christ Mr.. Swartz is All excellent
speaker ana had no difficulty in holding
his hearers.

Michigan Agricultural College Sends
a Challenges Accepted
QUESTION OF COAL LAND
The Teams Picked for the Local Debate March
1.-Two Men From Each Society


bates in Alma this year without doubt.
The latest in regard to debates is that
we are TO have debate in the coming
spring with team from the Michigan
Agricultural college. A few days ago
Prof. Adams received from the student
manager of the East Lansing institution
and from the professor of the depart.
ment under whose supervision the de.
bates are held, letters asking for date
FOR debate TO be held at East Lansing
early this spring
1t seems that the NJ A. c. has a de-
bate on with Ypsilanti on the question
OF retaining government ownership of
the coal lands now in the possession of
the United States, the farmers uphold.
ing the affirmative of the resolution that
these coal lands should be retained by
the federal government A debate on
that same subject with another school
was wanted, and no doubt right here
Alma's reputation for debating came in,
for a challenge was sent to us. Since NJ.
A. c. has stated the question, Alma has
the choice of sides
The challenge came at a very oppor-
tune time as the two mems literary soci-
cites had the Monday before chosen
! their representatives on the local college
debate which will be held IN the chapel
the evening of March II. Last Monday
both socities instructed their representa-
tives in the college debating league to
favor the proposition of a debate with
the agricultural school. The following
men were named by the two societies as
their second team debaters: Phi Phi
Alpha, Yonker. Smith and Voegeli for
debaters and Zubler for alternate; Zeta
/ Sigma Kolvoord Cook and Blaske fol-
debaters and King for alternate.
At a meeting of the debating league
held Tuesday noon, in accordance with
! the society agreement providing for this
secondary debate of March II, lots were
drawn by Chapel for the teams, result
ing as follows: Affirmative team, Yon.
ker. Kolvoord and Blaske for debaters
and Zubler for alternate; Negative team
Smith, Cook and Voegeli for debaters
a nd King for alternate. This places tw
men from each society on each team
These teams will debate the NJ. A O.
question here. 1t was further decided
that the team winning the college de-
bate in March should represent Alma
against NJ A. c. at East Lansing. This
it was argued would result in much
better team work and better debating
generally. The only objection is that the
debaters may have to shift from one
side of the question to the other entirely
as our choice for the MAC. debate has
to be made before March.
With one extra oratorical contest this
year, the Chicago contest in May, and
with two extra debates, the local one
and the one with MAC, all of which
will be of the greatest assistance in de-
veloping raw material into collegiate
orators and debaters together with the
new medal idea for men on college
teams, the oratory and debating among
the men of the college has certainly
nothing to worry about.

The Maroon and Cream headed into

them when they attempted TO defeat the
very fast MAC. basket ball team on
their home floor. Starting at the begin
ming of the season rather shakily, the
farmers have developed remarkably.
Within few weeks with steady practice
and the addition Of new material they
have transformed themselves from FIVE

by the Spaldings of Detroit into a
smooth machine that defeated this same

The first half of the game, which was
played Friday evening, was strongly in
favor of the East Lansing quintet. 1t
was impossible for the Maroon and
Cream to hold the speedy farmers, they
shooting baskets for 26 points while
Alma was able to take only enough for

the men somewhat accustomed to the
peculiar surroundings, MAC. did not
show up so brilliantly as before,

A FAT WOMAN
HATES SOCIETY

Fat people have to get into clothes
that are designed for people OF normal
physique. The men wear dress suits
and look like comic pictures. The women
wear low necked dresses to their evi-
dent humiliation. This is why It Is often
said that a fat woman hates society.
Fat is as much the mistake of poor
health as anything else. The things that
make fat should be making good blood,
bone and nerves. The secret is that the
digestive machinery Is out Of gear. The
juices make fat in too large quantities.
This fat impedes circulation, cramps
the heart, suppresses the liver, crowds
the lungs and intereferes with the stom-
ach. Marmola Tablets are harmless.
They are taken after each meal. They
helm digest that meal as nature intended
1t should be digested. They remove the
fat already made at the rate of from
12 to 10 ounces a day and they leave no
fabby skin or wrinkles. They are sold
wherever drugs are sold, or in the same
category with harmful patent fat re-
ducers. They contain Marmola, Cascara
Aromatic and Peppermint water. If you
do not care to call upon your druggist,
send Is cents to The Marmola Co., 81
Farmer Bldg, Detroit, Mich, and they
will send you q large, full size case by
return mail in plain package postage
