COMPANIONS ARE SICK
Every Member of Band Suffers Nausea As Result of Caffeine
 Experiments

PHILADELPHIA, May 11.-serious results have followed the feeding of caffeine, a drug lurking in chocolate as well as coffee, to the eight student members of the poison squad" of the Hahnemann Medical College here. All have been subject to severe headaches and serious attacks of nausea, while one member of the squad was in such a serious condition after taking the caf- feine laden water for the first twenty days that he had to be placed in spe- eial ward in the hospital. He received constant attention. has recovered and at the college is said to have rejoined the squad.
 The "polson sduade at the Hahne- mann college was formed very quietly It came into existence on March 1 and Is under the direct supervision of pr. Edmund T. Nesbit. director of the Her ing laboratory of the college.
 Dr. Nesbit called for volunteers from among the students. He said he wanted men who were willing to do something for the benefit of humanity at large, even though 1t might be to their own discomfture. Twenty-Five students volunteered Of these fourteen of the most perfect physically were chosen. eleven as regular members of the squad and three as alternates.
 For thirty days the members of the squad were given doses of caffeine while Dr. Nesbt and his assistants made personal observations. taking the pulses and temperature of the members of the squad and making notes on their general physical condition. It was not until within the last few days that one member of the squad weakened under the experiment 10 such an ex- tent that It was necessary to send him to the hospital. pr. Nesoit refuses to
 
 collapsed, but declares that through proper treatment immediately he soon recovered.
 The caffeine was administered in solution and was mixed with the water the squad drank. The students did not know when they were getting the calf feine. There were no stated times for giving it in order to keep the mind of the student free from worry in order that the physical condition might not be changed materially through the action of the brain.
 Before joining the poison squad" each student had to sign release against any action for damages against the college
 The laboratory was organized about fifteen months ago with pr. Nesbit as director and almost immediately an exhaustive study was started to ascer- tain the destructive qualities of caf- feine as used in food stuffs.
 The students continued to live at the dormitorfes or at boarding houses, but they were required to take their meals at the training table located in the hos pital near the diet kitchen. Before each meal the temperature was record cd, the pulse and respiration were taken and the blood pressure was tested. During the period the drug was ad- ministered only Dr. Nesbit knew the amount apportioned to each man and when and in what quantity 1t was ad- New York sun--May i2, 1912.

Alumni Banquet

The alumni banquet in smiths dining hall was love feast. T. D. Sanford, Au- burn, 'Ss, of Opelika, was toastmaster, and an effective one. A feature of the ban quet, feature that awoke in the heart of every alumnus a mole tender regard for his college, and a closer feeling of friendship for his fellow graduates was the presentation of two tokens of esteem to two loyal and beloved alumni B. B. Ross, Auburn 'Sl. now professor of chemistry in his alma mater, state chem ist, and. by actual count the most popu-
 lar professor of the Auburn faculty was given loving cup by the old graduates. There were few dry eyes around the banquet board when Dr. Ross halting speech in receiving the cup was given.
 The other honored guest was Reynolds Tichenor. Auburn 96, the athletic hero of his college days, and the most loyal alum nus of Auburns rolls. Tichenor. in his personal labor, has probably done more for the honor of Auburn, and has given more time unrecompensed than any other. And the members of last years football team, the men for whose sake Reynolds Tichenor left his work in Atlanta and came down to spend a grueling month, gave him gold watch.

 and Beloved Alumni

Auburn, June 4.-(SpeciaL )--C Commence ment. with all it's kaleidoseopie array of June freshness, feminine beauty and gay ety everywhere, is in full swing at Au- burn. Everything that commencement means. and it means much in Auburn, for beauty and attractiveness was embodied in Monday nights entertainment, The Festival of Lights" the annual entertain ment by the ladies auxiliary of the Young Mems Christian association. Thousands of Japanese lanterns were strung from tree and bush and shrub of the thickly wooded campus; in the soft gloom couples strolled and sat, white dresses and dark coats; children played under the big arc lights, but there were nobody except children in the bright light: the student band and the commencement orchestra slternated in playing music for every body to dance by, in their hearts if not in realty. for their is no other spirit than that of gayety at Auburn's big gala night.
 After an hour or more the lanterns be- gan to grow dim, and the grow divided in two. One portion. the old graduates, went to Smith dining hall to the alumni banquet The other portion. the boys and girls. went into Langdon hall for the junior hop, which was led by Joel Hurt, Jr., of Atlanta, and Miss Kathleen Golden of Columbus.

WORTHY OF SUPPORT

The Herald is an Independent
newspaper and does not care, as a
general rule, to take an active part
in politics beyond saying a good
word for local candidates whom it
believes worthy of support. 1t,
however, does want to see the best
candidates nominated by their res
pectiye parties and when there is a
contest at the primaries between a
worthy and an unworthy candidate,
feels at liberty to inform the voters
as to the facts.
II. o. Fishback, state senator from
Lewis county, and j. II. Schively are
seeking the republican nomination
for state insurance commissioner.
The Herald believes that Senator
Fishback is in every way worthy and
competent to serve the people and
that Mr.. SchiVely, while he may be
competent. is not worthy to hold
that or any other public office.
Senator Fishback is a big man,
mentally and morally, as we'll as
physically. He is at present engaged
in farming, but is well qualified
accountant and business man, and
enjoys the reputation of being as
honest and faithful as the day is
long. Schiyely, on the other hand, is
an excellent type of the smooth and
INSCRIPTIONS politician, who regards
public office as private snap. He
conducted the affairs of the office in
such a way that impeachment pro-
ceedings were brought against him
in the special session of the legis-
lature in 1909, and while he was ac-
Quilted of the charge "of malfeas-
ance in office" by the senate, the
vote stood &c for conviction, IA fol
acquittal, and he escaped by the mar
row margin of two votes, ii requiring
two-thirds to impeach. The evil
dence brought out at the trial con
yinces The Herald that Schiyely Is
unworthy the support of the people
and since he refuses to retire of his
own accord, the voters should do II
for him
There is another candidate foI
nomination on the republican ticke'
whom The Herald regards as so TAI
superior to her rivals as to merit
support, and that is Miss Josephine
Preston. superintendent of schools o.
WalIa Walla county, who has nice
for the nomination for state superln
tendent of schools. This is an I'M
portant office and should be filled DS
a person of high ideals and progress
siye views. Miss Preston splehui'
work at the head of the schools o
Walla Walla county and as teacher
has demonstrated her fitness for th'
position and the combination OF poii
ueians who are opposing her because

terest of the party instead of the in
terest OF the school children and the
taxpayers, should be rebuked.
The Herald has no hesitation in
advising its republican readers to
give their support at the primary
election to II. o. Fishback for state
insurance commissi oner and TO Miss
Josephine Preston for state superin-
tendent of schools
