THE FOOLS OF PAST APRILs
Some Tricks Played ut the Universe
~ Years Ago.
Today is April FOOLS Day.

Today is April Fools Day.
Many years ago it was the rus
tom of the University students to
celebrate by cutting classes-.giv-
ing the faculty their annual hOli-
day." they called it. This was begun
as far back as 1873 and was cOntin-
ued until about ten years ago. The
celebration sometimes began the
night before with Halloween stunts
and firing of the cannOns; in 1901.
the students removed the furniture
from the gymnasium and piled it on
the campus. A newspaper of that
date tells also of some fecetiOuS
idiot of a student" tying a neigh
bOrhOOd COW to the door knob of
! President Jesse's' Office in the main
corridor.
On April FOOLS Day about twelve
| years G the large figure of Liberty
! on Academic Hall was painted black
! and the fierce lions nearby were
changed into tigers by the applica-
ton of black and yellow paint. We

articles We're piled on the steps of
moved from business houses and put
on the campus.
In 1890, the students formed a
| line and marched down town pro.
| ceeded by the cadet band. They held
an Indignation meeting in front OF
the court house Over a publication
in the ST. Louis POst-Dispatch re.
fleeing on certain faculty members
All copies of the paper found in town
were hung on a line and the boys
marched over town with the papers
trailing in the dust.
OF late years. April Fools Day
has not been celebrated by the stu
dents. A few landladies keep III
the tradition by serving paper
fried in batter and mock biscuits fol
breakfast. and the ST. dents fool eacf
other with the soap chocolates which
are sold at all the candy stores thai
day. The last trick played on the
faculty was about six years ago wher
a student put a spool of thread il
his inside cOat pocket brought the

of a needle to the outside of his lape

That day he stayed after class Il

all of them kindly tried to remove
the ravling but they continued t.
pull without finding its other end.

Mr.. Frank Byrne, one of the

Mr.. Frank Byrne, one Ct the
candidates for governor, says
1.-The The will OF the people, deliberate-
ly and definitely expressed,A shall
be the final and fundamental law
of the land" This seems to be
one of those loose expressions
which if properly construed is all
right but which is susceptible OF a
construction which would be all
wrong. In the first place we must
bear In mind that the fundamental
law of any state is its constitution.
This fundamental law should rep
resent the will of the people 4'de-
liberatsly and definitely expressed. +"
Whenever it becomes evident that
it does not represent that will,
provisions have been duly made
whereby it may be changed 80 that
l7it will so conform, but it must re-
main the fundamental law, and to
it, all statutory laws, however en-
acted, whether by the legislature
or by vote of the people under
the initiative provision, as we'll as
all court decisions, or executive
orders, must conform. Under our
initiative and referendum law the
people may express their Wilde
| liberately and definitely" in the
form of statutory enactment, but
statutory law is never the funda-
mental law of the state, end no
matter how we'll it may represent
the will of the people it must con-
form to the fundamental law. If
therefore, Mr.. Byrne means by
this expression that such statu-
tory law should be held valid, even
though it may conflict with the
constitution, or in other words with
the fundamental law, he is advo-
eating a custom that would soon
lead to chaos. We must either
honor our constitution or adopt
the English system of governing
without constitution, for a con
stitution ignored would be a
! stumbling block.

We are in receipt of communi-

to establish two beet sugar fac
tories, one in South Dakota and
one in North Dakota, each to cost
from 81, 100000 to $1,5O0,000.
According to this report the only
thing that is delaying the opera
ton is the uncertainty as to what
congress will do with the tariff on
sugar. The thing smells just a
little might tishy to us The beet

GOOD NIGHTS SLEEP
No Medicine So Beneficial to Brain
and Nerves.

Lying awake nights makes 1t hard
to keep awake and do things in day
time. To take "tonics and stimulants"
under such circumstances is like set
ting the house on fire to see If you
can put 1t out.
The right kind of food promotes re-
freshing sleep at night and a wide
awake individual during the day.
A lady changed from her old way of
eating Grape-Nuts, and says:
For about three years l had been
great sufferer from indigestion.
After trying several kinds of medicine,
the doctor would ask me to drop OF
potatoes. then meat, and SO on, but In
few days that craving. gnawing feel
Ing would start up, and l would vomit
everything l ate and drank
When started OH Grape-Nuts, vom.
iting stopped, and the bloated feeling
which was so distressing disappeared
entirely.
my mother was very much bothered
with diarrhoea before commencing the
Grape-Nuts, because her stomach was
so weak she could not digest her food.
Since using Grape-Nuts food she Is
well. and says she don't think she
could do without It.
1T is a great brain restorer and
nerve builder. for can sleep as sound
and undisturbed after a supper Of
Grape-Nuts as In the old days when l
could not realize what they meant by
bad stomach There is no medt
cine so beneficial to nerves and brain
as good nights sleep, such as you
can enjoy after eating Grape-Nuts."

SOME SUMMER SALADS.

Palatable salads may be made the
year round with the standard fruits
and vegetables found in the markets.
No luncheon or dinner seems quite
complete without some kind of a
salad.
Surprise salad.-Cut in bits two
cold lamb chops freed from skin and
bone. Make a Jelly by straining and
seasoning cup of tomato and add
ing an eighth Of box of gelatine. Fill
small earthen cups with the jelly, and
when firm on the edges. but still soft
inside. mix some of the central por-
center again. When firm serve on
shredded lettuce with a teaspoonful
of salad dressing for each portion.
Remouade Dressine.-Rub the
yolks of two hard-cooked eggs through
a sieve, mix with a raw yolk, season
with salt, pepper and mustard and,
little by little, beat in cup of oil, as
it thickens add few drops OF vine
gar.
Asparagus and string beans make a
most satisfying salad, cooked and
served with French dressing. Make
this by adding a tablespoonful of vim
egar to three of olive oil. with season
ings of salt, pepper and mustard If
liked
Thin slices of radishes used as a
garnish for a lettuce and onion salad
is variety to add to the list.
The materials at hand and the gent
US of the cook will often produce re-
suits most gratifying.
A most appetizing salad for those
who are able to gather the fresh
mushrooms is one In which the stems
of the mushrooms are reserved for the
salad. Cut them In strips mix with a
few shredded almonds and serve on
lettuce with French dressing. The
stems are to be uncooked.
Little bits of leftover salmon mixed
with cocoanut, makes nice salad.
The addition OF sour chopped pickle
or two gives zest to the salad.
Veal or chicken. equal quantities,
chopped and mixed with celery. sea
soned with a French dressing and
served with mayonnaise, is one of our
standard salads To quart of mixed
celery and chicken use cup of may
onnaise.
The blanched ends OF tender dande-
lions added to lettuce is good com.
