through the principal: streets of the
city to the court house, where a long
concert was given. 8
Lively music suitable for the socca-

Hail, Hail, the Gangs All Here"
seeming to be the favorite. It was
late before the crowd scattered, the
majority Of the maskers remaining on
the streets until after 10 o'clock and
number Of them until midnight.
In addition to the big public pro.
gram on the city streets many persons
enjoyed Halloween more quietly but
Just as fittingly at their own homes
or at the homes of friends There
were numbers Of small social gather
ings throughout the city at which the
principal amusements consisted in
bizarre stunts recognized as part OF
all well organized up.to-date Hallow-
cen programs.
The semi.public entertainment at
the Normal School last night was we'll
attended and a splendid success. The
library was decorated for the occa.
sion and used as the central point for
the events.
This evening unique program will
be staged inside the Young Mems
Christian .3Association building in
which the men who live in the DOR
mitory will be the principal particl-
pants.

LIGHT OF MODERN SCIENCE.

DIR. T. Alexander MacNichol, in one
of his addresses, says briefly: Fifty
years ago men commonly believed
that alcohol was food, tonic, and stim-
ulant; but they were excusable for ig-
norance, as little was known of the
psychology and chemistry of the blood
and tissues; the action of bacteria
upon the functions and life of tissue
cells vas a sealed book. The inven-
tion of instruments of precision and
the application of more exact meth
DDS of examination has revolutionized
our attitude toward alcohol. In the
light of modern science alcohol is not
a food, a tonic, or a stimulant. In a
word, science has rated and classified
alcohol as a universal protoplasmic
poison to all forms of organic life."
