Smythe's mistake, which is de-
scribed in an English contemporary,
must have been disconcerting, to say
the least.
You'll find your bath in the out
'ouse.''
Thus he had been directed the night
before at the little inn where he was
stopping and that is why he was now
in his dressing gown, pushing open the
outhouse door. 1t was dark, but
there was the tub, and it would do.
He hoped in. In the middle of his
ablutions the red-faced landlord thrust
his head in at the door. In the dim
light he failed to see the man in the
tub.
Water quite nicely warm, thanks >
observed Smythe, "but it's trif1e
muddy"
Muddy he hanged!" roared the
landlord, bursting in suddenly. Your

TURN OVER TIME
When Nature Hints About the Food

When there's no relish to food and
all that one eats doesn't seem to do
any good then is the time to make
turnover in the diet, for that's Ma
tures way of dropping hint that the
food isn't the kind required.
For a number of years followed
railroad work, much of it being office
work of trying nature. Meal times
were our busiest; and eating too much
and too qr;ckly of food such as is
commonly served in hotels and res
taurants, together with the sedentary
habits, were not long in giving me dys-
pepsia and stomach trouble which re-
duced my weight from 205 to 16O
pounds.
There was little relish in any food
and none of it seemed to do me any
good. 1t seemed the more I ate the
poorer 1 got and was always hungry
before another meal, no matter how
much I had eaten.
Then commenced trial of Grape
Nuts food, and was surprised how
small saucer of it would carry me
along, strong, and with satisfied appe-
tite, until the next meal, with no SEN
satlons of hunger, weakness or dis
tress as before.
Il have been following this diet now
for several months and my improve
ment has been so great all the others
in my family have taken up the use
of Grape-Nuts with complete satisfac-
ton and much improvement in health.
Most people eat hurriedly, have
lots of worry, thus hindering digestion
and therefore need food that is pre-
digested and concentrated in nourish-
ment."

first of these lies in the fact that at
the reorganization in 1893, the basis
OF admission to the collegiate work
OF the college was changed from the
completion OF the eight grade to the
completion of the four years high
school course. This was II vital
change, Of far reaching importance.
This college was among the first or
the agricultural colleges in the
United States to assume the same
basis Of admission Tin stage OF ad-
Vancementl as the state universities,
aud is one of the reasons for charg-
ing it with the crime of being a uni
versity. All the other agricultural
colleges have come to this point now,
or are coming toward it, and it is
universally agreed that this has been
one of the most important move
meuts in the history of their de-
veiopment.
The second point which has disap-
pointed the public Imagination is the
increase in the size and Importance
OF the institution. 1t met the pub
lie need and grew far beyond expec-
tation. and quickly became an insti-
tuition far larger stronger and better
equipped than many old institutions
in the eastern states No one eX-
pected this. 1t disappointed some.
Had We known what was going to
happen. it never would have been
allowed to begin" has often been
remarked. Any one. however, who
would for a moment consider the
foundation with which it was en-
dowed, the possible help from the
United States treasury. and it's scope
as provided by law, state and ma
tiOnal, must have foreseen it's great
possibilities in such state as Wash
ington. Other things in the state
have surpassed the imagination of
the founders. 1t should not be held
fault that the Satte College has
succeeded beyond expectations. So
have our cities. SO has our great
University. SO have our forests,
mines, fisheries and our agriculture.
So may they continue to succeed.

This play for its initial release, the

ton chose a vehicle which utilized to
the highest degree the romantic set
ting of Bret Harte's California tale.
As spectator views "Salomy Jane''
on the screen, the roaring days of
40, the mining camp, the reckless
stage coach wheeling round the
mountain side, the hold-up, the vIgf-
lantes, the attack and the pursuit,
the fierce struggles of strong men,
and the whole atmosphere of early
California are as clear to him as
though he were living in that golden
land of long ago.

TWO UNIVERSITIES
IS EMPTY SLOGAN
State College is Doing the Work
Contemplated by the Law Great
ing the Institution

The Two Universities: A not
phrase used much lately by those
who would limit the work and func-
lions of the Agricultural college" is
that the state of Washington has
two universities" Curiously enough
there is to these people. rightly, one
university, whose functions are I'M
limited, whose name implies that il
Is closely related to the universe
whose field of work should include
Whatever it chooses, and the agricul-
tural college should either eliminate
Itself from the scene, or confine it's
activities to whatever courses of edu-
cation may have dropped from the
table of the seat of learning.
Still more curiOusly, these critics
OF the new education assume that
they have the only true conception of
the functions, methods and ends of
an agricultural college, that they are
its only real friends, and that those
who have nourished and cherished it
are, after ALL it's real enemies. This
reminds us of the struggle during the
first thirty or forty years after the
founding of the agricultural college
system, when under one sophistry or
another, the funds were diverted
from their real purpose, and alb
sorbed in the support of the older
and narrower scheme of higher edu-
cation, or the new system was
crushed by the weight of the old into
a helpless and useless travesty on
higher education.
