ARE TOLD
 ".... ..., THEY COURT ABOLITION

Seattle, Oct. S-Fraternities, sor- critics and clugs in the University of Washington have been gulping lhard since listening to the warning issued to them by President Landes in his address before the first student assembly this year. In his speech, the president reminded them that over-indulgence in social affairs, extravaganza and undemo- cratic seclusiveness must inevitably lead to a campaign against their very existence, such as has al- ready manifested itself in several other states. He urged a return to the. simpler conditions of living as the best defense against agitation in the state legislature.
 While a certain amount of so- cial recreation is necessary and in- eyitable," he said, fit lends itself frequently to deplorable excess. We should have no patience with those students who come to the university merely because they have nothing else to do and who delight only in a butterfly mode of life. There is a growing tendency for an easy club life and disposition to look upon a fraternity house as desirable winter resort.
 Growing out of our accelerated social life there come logically and swiftly a sure tendency toward ex- travagance. This manifests itself in many ways, as in expensive dress in costly ways of living, and in, more palatial houses The amount Of money which some groups of students think it necessary to spend on a formal party, with all the ac- complishments that SO with it and all of which involve much expense, in order that the party of last year may be excelled, or some rival thor oughly beaten, is a matter of the keenest concern to all true friends of the university.
 Such practices and extravaganGes are a positive wrong to all who have q part in them. The cost Is so great that many worthy students are forced to close their university careers because they cannot pay the price It is a crime committed by the weIl-to-do students, whose par ents have unwisely given them too much money, against those who are in no wise able to stand the finan- ciaI strain. It inevitably leads to decline in scholarship, to a lowering of moral standards and to wrong conception of true living. The grow ing tendency toward exclusiveness and extravaganza in our universi- ties is in violation of the democrauc ideals of America.
 This is particularly true as re- gards. those institutions which are wholly supported by the state and where every citizen feels that he is a part owner of the uniVer- sity. I speak with candor and yet with a knowledge of the situation when l say that at the recent ses-

You can more than earn spending

Good Cheer Aids ~
Digestion of Food
Dyspepfics Can Make the Resi- OF
fhe Family Happy by Csing
a L1&utiye- Tonic

The temper of the family and the
good cheer around the table depend SO
much on the good digestion of each
individual present that the experiences
of some former dyspeptics who over
came their trouble should be Of inter
est to those now suffering il this
way.
The best advice one can t,iye-but It
is advice thai is seldom hesded-is to
eat slowly and masticate each mouth
full carefully. However, If slow eating
and careful mastication fail the next
aid is one close to nature, DR.. Cald-
wells Syrup Pepsin. This remedy is
an excellent digestant, and in addition
to helping In the digestion Of the food,
acts gently on the liver and bow els,
Kidding them of the accumulation Of
waste that should long ago have been
passed off. 1t is safe, reliable, pleas
s.nt-tasting, and results are guaTan-
teed.
Maj S. Martin, OF Joplin, Mo-, now

has helped him to longer end hap
pier life. He has not felt SO good in
years as he has since taking this ex-
cellent medicine, and in spite Of his
~ years he says he feels like boy.
1t is the ideal remedy for indiges-
ton, no matter how severe; constipa-
ton, no matter how chronic, bilious
ness, headaches, gas on the stomach,
drowsiness after eating and similar
