SENIORS IN OUTING.

SENIORS OF AUGUSTANA ARE
enjoying an outing at the l. G. l. park
above Davenport today. About twenty
couples composed the party and de-
parture was made on the $50 a. m.
car at Davenport Baseball, tennis
and other sports formed the amuse-
ments for the happy collegians. A
novel feature connected with the az
fair was that the goods of the class
demanded their quadrennial rights
and chose their own escorts for the
picnic. Although some of the boys
were rather put out with the arrange
ment, the girls claim TO be supremely
happy and say it is no more than fair
that they have their way at least once
during the four years. A delicious
lunch was enjoyed by the merry-mak.
ers this noon on the grounds. Supper
will also be served. The seniors have
set no stated hour for their return, but
say that it all depends on how the
weather is.

Dear Mrs. Thompson: My husband
Is generally considerable and thought
full, but l am very much troubled by
a difficulty that has arisen between
us. like to have the window Of the
sleeping room wide open at night, in
order 10 get the fresh air, and he in
sists that a little space Of three or
four inches is enough. II / open the
window, he puts It down again. and
then we argue about 1t until we are
tired. This has been going on for
months. II seems like a small matter,
but l am getting very wrought up
about It. Is there anything l can do,
or is he right? WIFE.
Judging from what you say, you
have the sensible side Of the argu-
ment. You might suggest TO your hus-
band that he put on an extra cover.
II that fails to interest him, and he is
still obdurate, why not send him TO
another room where he can have as
much or as little air as he likes?
Dear Mrs. Thompson: My girl chum
and once declared we would never
marry anyone who smoked. Most Of
the interesting young men we know
have this fault, and we fear we may
be old maids II we stick to our vow.
What do you suggest? BERNICE.
II the only men who had e chance
TO marry were those who did not
smoke. the crop Of bachelors and
spinsters would increase enormously
Smoking is harmful TO youths, but
the doctors say that unless carried
10 excess, It does not harm a grown
man. II may well be regarded as a
disagreeable habit, but since we can
not reform the men. we are perforce
obliged TO accept them as they are and
and make the best Of H.

ORCHESTRA PLAYS IN DARK.

THE MINNEAPOLIS SYMPHONY
orchestra which will be the principal
attraction at the Moline Choral union
festival May 81. recently gave re-
markable performance playing for a
half hour at Sioux Falls, s. D., in total
darkness. OF this performance a
Sioux Falls paper says:
The Minneapolis Symphony orches-
ira gave a concert in Sioux Falls, S. D.,
before a sold out house Saturday night
that will go down in the musical his
tory Of that city and stand as
monument to the artistic achievement
of the orchestra and its renowned
leader. After a most successful matt
nee the evening concert had begun
most auspiciously and Concertmaster
CZerwonky was just preparing to play
an encore when suddenly all the lights
went out, leaving the house in com
plete darkness. Without hesitation Mr..
Czerwonky. accompanied on the harp
by Mr. William, began and finished the
encore and in response to the applause
played a second encore. Then came
ghostlike stage whisper informing
Mr.. Oberhoffer that at least half an
hour must elapse before the lights
could be turned on. Next moment be-
gan an impromptu concert, such as is
seldom heard. A short question from
the leader, a sure note from the or
chestra and for one solid hour the or
chestra played work after work from
its extreme repertoir, beginning with
Mendelssohn's Spring Song and ending
with a movement of Tschaikowsky' s
sixth symphony, and interspersed with
solos played by Cserwonky, Fischer
and Williams. 1t was a remarkable
performance, for while the house dur.
/ ing all thA time was in total dark
ness, there was not a single attempt
on the part Of the audience to leave
/ the house, for even in the darkness
the strong personality and magnetism
( of Minneapolis great conductor seem
ed to pervade the house and inspire
( the audience with a feeling of con
! fidence and security. None but an or
chestra with the training, discipline
and routine, such as the Minneapolis
orchestra conclusively proved itself t.
! possess, could have followed theil
| leader as they did in the darkness
And when after an hour the light!
suddenly burst forth with a dazzlin.

spark, the orchestra rang out will

Approaching badness, while fire.
quently contemplated with misgivings,

1t is not necessary to become bald.
Badness can be prevented.
Loss Of hair is due to the activity
of the germ which causes dandruff
Newbros Herpicide is the first remedy
ever compounded which absolutely
destroys this germ. Used regularly
and intelligently, Herpicide will re-
move every trace of dandruff and pre-
vent the hair from coming out. The
terrible itching of the scalp which IS
so annoying, stops with the first appli-
cation.
This valuable scalp prophylactic
adds luster and bTilliancy to the hair

healthy. This permits the hair, hith

his attention was attracted by the re-

mediately after being carried into
Young & McCombs' store he was made
acquainted with the young lady who
was unconsciously the cause of all his
