EARLY DAYS OF YALE
WHEN THE FAMOUS COLLEGE
WAS IN ITS INFANCY.
Wonderful Changes Have Been Mada
as the World Moved on-Athietic
Field a Thing Unknown to
the Founders.

On Saturday, November, %, at New
Haven, the Yale and Harvard football

stamina in a struggle for victory be-
fore forty thousand persons Of both
sexes waving flags and shouting at
the top Of their lungs. It is a pity
that DR.. David F. Atwater of Spring.
field, the Oldest living graduate of
Yale, class Of 1889, could not see the
performance, for there was nothing
like it in his days at college. The
spectacle would be too strenuous for
the old gentleman, however, and as
for getting to the field Of battle and
returning safely to his home without
physical hurt or mental collapse. it is
not to be thought of as feasible at his
age. Football as a visual diversion is
q game for youth and for vigorous
middle life.
When DR.. Atwater was at New Hay.
en- the students were not athletic.
What they spent on college sports
would scarcely have filled a blind
mans cup with coppers. The doctor
remembers a gymnasium, but it was
very small, the apparatus was meager,
and the students made little use of it.
One does not have to 60 further back
than the late seventies at Harvard to
remember that the gymnasium Of that
comparatively modern day was a cir
cular brick building not much larger
than a prosperous farmers smoke
house; ridiculously primitive and in
adequate was the equipment accord
Ing to latter day notions, and the SUI
perfntendent was a stout gray little
man who could spar and fence a bit,
but that was about all.
TO return to Yale In 1834-39, physi-
cal prowess seems to have been de-
manded only when town" and gown"
fought together, and brute strength
was then more in evidence than skill
In boxing and wrestling. The college
leader in such ARRAYS was known as
Major Bully, the biggest and sturdiest
man in his class, according to DR..
Atwater. Yale men were much given
to debating and literary expression.

"Calliope," were some Of the societies

The Perfect Laxative
 For Elderly People

Age has its attractions no less than youth in a more serene and quieter life. But it is this very life of rest without sufficient exercise that brings with it those disorders that arise from in- activity. Chief of these are 8 chronic, persistent constipation.
 Most elderly people are troubled in this way, with accompanying symptoms headaches and general lassitude. Ere Quently there is difficulty of digesting even light food. Much mental trouble ensues, as it is hard to find a suitable remedy. First of all the advice may be given that elderly people should not use salts, cathartic pills or powders, waters or any of the more violent purgatives. What they need, women as we'll as men, Is a mild laxative tonic, one that is pleasant to take and yet acts without griping.
