There was an asterisk punctuat-
ing the Joy of the students of the
University of Wisconsin. For,
how was the student body to do
full honor to the most celebrated
member of the senior class on her
birthday-which happened Mon
day, April Is? The lady in ques-
ton is Mrs. Amy Davis Winship
and this particular birthday cele-
bration was held for the sole
purpose of honoring the SD an
niversary of her entrance to the
world.
Without in any way referring
to the age or her achievements
because of it and to give her a
distinction which amounts to a
whole lot more now than it did
once-her fellow students made
much of the fact that she is an
ORIGINAL equal suffragist. She
was a wheel horse for the cause

Are You Subject
to Constipation
Here is Simple Way of Correct
ing 1t Instantly Before 1t
ReCOmes Chronic

ing IL Instantly Before 1t
Becomes Chronic.
Very few people go through life
without some time or other being
troubled with constipation. Thous-
ands injure themselves by the use
of strong cathartics, salt mineral
waters, pills and similar things.
They have temporary value in
some cases, 1t is true, but the good
effect is soon lost, and the more
one takes of them the less effect
I've they become.
A physic or purgative Is seldom
necessary, and much better and
more permanent results can be
obtained by using a scientific rem
edy like DR.. Caldwells Syrup Pep
sin. 1t does not hide behind a
high sounding name, but is what
1t Is represented to be. mild lax
alive medicine. 1t is 30 mild that
thousands of mothers give it to
tiny infants, and yet 1t Is so COM
pounded, and contains such defin-
lite ingredients that 1t will have
equally good effect when used by
a person suffering from the worst
chronic constipation. In fact,
among the greatest endorsers of
Syrup Pepsin are elderly people
who have suffered for years and
found nothing to benefit them un-
til they took Syrup Pepsin.
1t is fact that millions of
families have Syrup Pepsin con-
stantly in the house, homes like
those of Mrs. G.. B. Pruitt, Berea,
KY, who used DR.. CaldwelPs Syr-
up Pepsin as a laxative tonic. Mrs.
Pruitt writes that 1t so strength
ened and cleansed her system that
she was quickly relieved of Sc
we're cough which had troubled
her for months. The special val
ne of this grand laxative tonic

CHANGE GOAL POSTS

coaching committee In conference
with Park III. Davis, the Princeton
member of the football rules COM
rhittee. two changes in the football
rules for 1919 were formulated for
presentation to the rules committee
at the meeting in New York next
week. One of the suggestions is that
the goal posts be removed from the
field OF play back to the end. of the
zone, in order to eliminate danger as
far as possible.
+ The other Is that each player wear
to be white and eight or ten inches
high, sewed on a dark background.
The change In the goal posts arises
from the fact that twn Princeton
players were injured laAt season BY

reaching the pinnacle in the world $

honorE in the 0lympaad at Stockholm,
the great aborigine is now srorn Of
ali his amateur honors and trophies
because he. has confessed that he
played baseball for money in a lit

announcement that Thorpe was pro-
fessional shook the amateur sporting
the comments on the conduct Of the
Indian there has been nothing but
expressions of sympathy for this ac-
ton of the Fox and Sac tribes. In
his confession Thorpe patheticaily
states that when he played baseball
for money in 1910 he did not realize
at the time that he was disqualifying
himself fer competition in other
fields of amateur sports. II seems
that in England many qualified con-
testants in amateur sports play pro-
fessionally in other forms of ath
Ietics.
Friends of the great Indian are said
to have organized in all effort to have
him reinstated as an amateur. But
their efforts will doubtless be un-
awaiting as. Thorpe recently signed a
contract in New York to play with the
Giants this coming season. While
the terms of his contract have not
been made public it is thought he will
