STUDENTS MAY REVIVE
G. W. U. DRAMATIC SOCIETY
Calcium Club, Which Was Formerly
Prominent, Ceased Its Activi-
ties in 1910.

Efforts are being made by students of
the George Washington University to
revive the Calcium Club. dramatic
society which f1ourished at the institu
tion several years ago. The movement
has been started as a result of the sue
cessful presentation recently of sweet
Lavender" by the George Washington
University Players for the. benefit of
athletics.
A number of recent graduates with
considerable histrionic ability are be-
hind the movement. 1t has been sug-
gested that reorganization be effect
ed this spring, SO that number of
plays can be produced next year. 1t is
likely that the club will feature musi-
cal comedy, making free use of college
atmosphere, college jokes and college
songs. 1t is also the plan to present
an occasional drama.
The Calcium Club gave it's last per-
formance in 1910 at the Belasco Thea
ter, the show being The Girl and the
Page" Prior to that a number of very
successful plays were presented. The
last show was financial failure, and
as result the club disbanded. 1t has
been suggested that Prof. Leslie Cleve-
land McNemar. faculty director of ath-
letics, be rendered the position of su-
pervisor of the club.

When You
Want Something

The most satisfactory place
to turn for information is to
the advertising columns of The

The advertising is the mes
sage of men and women who
believe they have anticipated
your wants. ..-...
They believe they can add
to your pleasures by supplying
them.
They ask your patronage
and frankly tell you why-be-
cause they can be of service
to you.
The advertising is the meet

Prevention Rather Than Cure.

The keynote of the bulletins of every
city and state health department is pre-
vcntion rather than cure. To prevent
illness is far better than to have to
cure it. Life insurance companies esti-
mate that at least one-half of the sick
ness throughout the country each year
is preventable--that is, it could be pre-
vented If every family had just a sim
pie, comInonsense knowledge of their
bodies and how properly to take care of
them. Members of "a community cannot
all be specialists in the science of hy-
giene and medicine. nor is that desira-
Bile or necessary. but it does lie within
the power of all to avail themselves of
the knowledge and advice of eminent
physicians who have given their lives
to the study of the very things the lay
man ought to know about. Numbers of
