EIizabeth's Excellent WASH"

Good Queen Bess liked her ale and
had to have it Wherever she went
there ale had to go also-strong ale.
Great were the trials Of her host, the
Earl of Leicester, as expressed in a
letter from Hatfield to Lord Burleigh:
There was not one drop Of good drink
for her here. We were fain to send
to London and Kenilworth and divers
other places where ale was. Her own
beer was so strong as there was no
man able to drink It" And one quart
Of this excellent wash" of good strong
ale for breakfast, we are told, put
the queen in good spirits for the start
OF the days work.-London Chronicle.

full of ammonia has been added, and
one hot, with the addition Of a little
ammonia and soap powder. With a
soft flannel wash the paint with the
soapy water, then rinse with the cold
water, using wash leather instead OF
the flannel. and wiring the leather fair
ly dry. Paint washed like this dries
with a nice polish. which no using OF

KISS IF YOU Wish, i"
SAYS HEALTH EXPERT
Disease Germ Does Not Lurk
on Ruby Lips, Asserted.

Chicago. Health Commissioner
Young has appeared as champion for
the kiss. Other health guardians to
the contrary notwithstanding, his ad-
vice is to keep right on kissing as
often as the girl will permit; that the
disease germ does not Turk and null
tiply on the ruby lips, as some experts
claim.
When the printers proof sheets of
matter to go in the weekly health bull
letin were submitted recently to DR..
Young by G. st. Clair Drake, a strict
sanitarian, the health commissioner
found an article devoted to kissing.
THAT will never get by me-" said he.
The article, in part, read something
like this:
"And there is no telling the amount
the students of the subject claim the
cases are numerous-of tuberculosis
and other diseases communicated by a
kiss"
Nonsense" DR.. Young said. II will
have to act as a safety valve here, be
regular Horatius at the bridge"
Again he perused:
Therefore kissing should be avoid
ed-should not be INDUCED in"
To his secretary DR.. Young turned,
issuing this order:
Have the entire article against kiss
ing stricken from the bulletin. Let peo-
pie kiss all they want to-
"a kiss" DR.. Young said, sis dan
gerous only when it is INDUCED in so as
to lead to observation by an irate papa
or mamma. The degree of aggrava-
ton differs in each case"

Uncle Sam and Football.

New York World; To Col. Town
sley, Superintendent of the Military
Academy at West Point, it seems an
objectionable waste of good war
material that budding generals should
be permitted to incur injuries, likely to
prove permanent. on the football field.
He is not satisfied with proposing half
way measures like reforming the rules
He wants the game abolished, Just as
Columbia did several years ago.
At West Point the young men have
all been selected after thorough physi-
cal examination, No weaklings need
apply. And for strength and size aud
endurance the cadets who play football
should be the pick of the lot Ii the
game is too severe for them, why
should it be suffered to civilian youths ?
In the end, the objections made in
football engages only a very small part
of the students at any college, whose
specialized training in no way tends to
the physical development of the whole
body. The only exercise the rest get
from the game is from roofing and
celebrating the victories that fall to
their team, "A certain number of
players are hurt more or less seriously
every year. even under the best of rules,
but competition between colleges and
the games spectacular side assure its
popularity, in spite of the lamentations
of the older generation.
There are plenty of sports more
beneficial, probably none SO popular
with the colleges But il West Point
should drop football as too rough and
brutal it would be hard blow to the
of the game. 1t is case surgeons

NOT A DEMOCRATIC "PRoM."

The Milwaukee journal, ever a
Wisconsin, and ever ready to defend il
against those who find fault with il
without cause, speaks thus truthfully
and plainly about the Junior Prom
Every year complaints are heard of
the great expense of the University of
Wisconsin prom" A student, it is
said, cannot pay the expenses which
custom and usage require under $40 or
$50. Since it il perfectly evident that
many students cannot pay this, it is
equally clear that there must be regrets
and heartburnings on the part of those
who are "Out Of it..
What are these things that make the
prom cost 80 much2 Evening dress, to
begin with, Is something very many
parents cannot afford. Nor are they to
be blamed for thinking that is proper
thing for II boy or girl to get the
benefit of education, even though he or
she cannot aft .rd special and expensive
clothes for social occasions.

even though the young lady whom he

out. of. town guests the expense Of
flowers, and other incidentals to an oc-
casion which has taken on too much of
flowers, and other incidentals to an
occasion which has taken on too much
Of the ceremonious.
The answer to this, of couse, is that
one who cannot afford such expensive
foolery need not go. How silly and
how snohbish to make the chief student
social function of the year SO expensive
that very many Of the students are
excluded by expense alone! People
have II right to expect better things of
their state university than that it shall
be the breeding place of snobbery
This is not an educated mans ideal :;
the influence of II state university
particularly ought to be felt on the
otnor side.
1t is not to be wondered ut that some
have attempted prohibit the university
prom by legislative act. But this is
not the way to deal with the evil. How
much better and more far reaching to
make the prom" truly democratic, n
worthy social function of university,
which in it's educational work has made
II great reputation for practical serv ice
to the people.
If the prom" is not made more

it will be reformed as the inaugural bail

gest and indicate policy This has
been done fearlessly.
He has not gone beyond re bounds
of propriety to do it. He has been
determined to see that the pledges
which the party made to the people are
upheld Those who endeavor to
deviate from them are going beyond
their bounds as elected representatives
of the people on the pledges of tine
party.
President Wilson is using wisely his
influence in keeping this ideal con
stantly before all so that the platform
which the people chose shall become a
reality. This was promised. This tEe
president is determined to do far as
possible
Those who see coercion in such ac-
ton are much like the person looking
through glass which is purposely
made dark.
AT the head Of a regime the president
has the right to use his influence in see
ing that the party lives up to it's plat
form There is nothing coercive Il bout
such policy.
1t is merely an everyday determi-
nation to see that the honest thing is
done.

most of the country's buying but are in
better position than men to appraise

have come complaints that American
things do not wear well, that it pays
better to get an imported article even
at higher price, because it wears
longer and is good till it is worn out.
In some cases this criticism may be I'M
just in other cases it is probably true
