foul, constipated waste, sour bile and
undigested food passes out of the bow
els, and you have well, playful child

Der, a good inside cleaning" should

Stanford University Eight Hard at
Work Preparing for Big Event
at Pouehkeepsie.

Brimful of confidence inspired by
their showing at Poughkeepsie last
season, the Stanford University eight,
the California Giants, are hard at
work preparing for the big event to
be held at Poughkeepsie next June.
Western rowing experts entertain the
opinion that the Cardinal crew, with
the experience gained last season, will
be more formidable. The ships COM
pany which lost to Cornell only by an
eyelash will be practically intact. Bill

will be the only absentee.
A coaching launch capable Of max
ing II miles an hour has been installed
for the use of Guerena and will facili-
tate his work in polishing up the Car
dinal oarsmen. AS Stanford has been
invited to participate again in the
eastern regatta, whether it wins the
coast title or not, a strenuous effort
will be made to include the coast title
In the Stanford's crew luggage when

has been aroused to enthusiasm and
determination over Stanford's show
ing on it's first trip into foreign terri
tory.

Darcy's victories included two knock
