we must not forget that we are taking
on new responsibilities, shouldering
new problems. The duties of our
trusteeshp are enlarged. Our pres
ent curriculum Is good one and
well balanced. II can be made
stronger and put on a higher plane.
There is one question, however. that
seems TO me fundamental. and that
is. when we come to consider the new
question of dormitory life and COM
munity life induced by our proposed
now dining halls and commons room,
we must hold fast to the present
standards of student life, a life that
is democratic, simple and frugal, a
life typical of the homes that send us
our boys. We can improve and
broaden our present conditions and
make our students more comfortable;
but IL must not be done at the eX-
ponse Of the virtues Of simplicity and
frugality. The young men that go
out from here must be efficient in let
ters. in science, In agriculture; but
If we stand only for efficiency, --efii-
cheney in things MATERIAL we miss
the fundamental. underlying cause OF
education. for coupled with efficiency
must go a certain definite knowledge
of the spiritual and ethical values Of
life. Without this, we turn out a

is a defense; but the excellency of
knowledge Is. that wisdom giveth life

WOMENi HERE'S ONE.
Says yOu save 81 in an hour by
dry cleaning everything
with gasoline.


Dry cleaning at home is Just as sim
pie as laundering. Any woman can
clean FIVE dollars worth in fifteen
minutes at little cost by getting from
the drug store two ounces of solvite
and put this in two gallons of gaso-
line. where it quickly dissolyes. Then
immense articles TO be cleaned; rub a
little and in a few moments the gaso-
line evaporates and the articles look
bright and fresh as new.
You can dry clean silk waists,
dresses, coats, ribbons. kid gloves,
satin shoes. evening slippers. shawls
belts. yokes, furs, boas, NUTS, neck
ties, lawns, dimity and chiffon dresses,
draperies fine laces, lace curtains,
wooden garments, in fact. any and
every thing that would be ruined by
soap and water as dry cleaning doesn't
fade. shrink or wrinkle, making press
ing unnecessary.
Your grocer or any garage will sup
ply the gasoline and you can obtain
two ounces OF solvite at the drug
store, which is simply a gasoline soap.
Then a wash boiler or large dishpan
completes your dry cleaning outfit.
AS gasoline is very inhammable. be
sure TO do your dry cleaning out of
doors or in a room away from fire OF
flame, with the windows left open.
