Cured many months ago in which

Special to the EVENING NEWS.
Geneva, N. Y, Feb. 133.-Hobart
College is stirred UP today over a
statement of Prof. Muirheid of South
Amboy and professor of English at
Hobart. Prof. Muirheid in lecturing
to a class composed CT upper class
men, violently denounced the system
of upper class discipline now In force
at Hobart, characterizing it as per,
nicious and absurd, and a relic of the
dark ages" IAN upper classman."
said Prof. Muirheid, sis regarded as
a sort of demigod. while he Is decid-
eddy human, his feet are more often
than not, Of clay The freshmen
could with justice institute q rebel
lion against this dominion so falsely
constituted and would probably have
the support Of all right thinking
people.'
The upper classmen are violently
aroused, as they maintain that upper
class discipline keeps order on the
college and that their authority Is al
ways exercised wisely, and for the
best interests of the college. 1t is
probable that action will be taken
In the matter at the freshmen class

HOW TO GET STRONG
A Simple Remedy.

Weakness may be caused by a run
down condition, NAL assimilation of
food, lack of iron in the blood or a re-
suit of sickness.
Whatever the cause, We want to say
to every person who needs strength,
you need Vinol, our delicious cod liver
and iron tonic without oil, as it is the
most efficient strength creator we have
in our store.
A case has just come to our attention
from West Baden, Ind. A beautiful
young lady was a complete wreck, run
down, worn out and nervous, SO she had
to spend one-third of ner time in bed.
Nothing which was given her did any
good until Vinol was recommended by
her druggist, which she says did her
more good than all the medicine she
ever took in her life put together, as it
built her up so she is now strong, well
and active.
1t is the medicinal elements of the
Gods livers contained in Yinol aided by
the blood making and strengthening
properties of tonic iron which makes il
so successful and we will return your
money if it does moi help you. Lauer

Taxing German Bachelors.

There haS been much talk in the
United States OF taxing bachelors. but
nothing has ever conIe OF 1t. In Strass-
burg. Germany, the town council has
adopted n system Of paying municipal
employees which puts in effect II tax
not only on bachelors. but on married
men with small families. A standard
schedule Of salaries has been arranged
adapted to the needs of married let
with three children. Single men he
tween the ages Of twenty and twenty
five receive 10 per cent less than the
schedule salary. When Il man has
more than three children he receives 3
per rent more than the standard sched-
ule. 10 per cent more for five chit
dren and II per cent more II ne has
sever children. A similar system has
been In operation In Halberstadt for
some time. with this difference-tbat
the extra allowances for children are
paid directly to the mothers. -Ilarper's.
