viii Cooperate with Local House
wives in Studying Questions OF
Consumption

A plan of cooperation between
Pullman housewives and the girls
enrolled in Economics 81 to deter
mine accurately the amount spent
for foodstuffs and other necessities,
is the novel suggestion that has been
made by Mr.. Passonneau of the eco
nomic science department. If the
plan natures each girl will have a
certain district from which she is to
collect as many budgets as possible.
These, taken as unit, will furnish
a very accurate and practical idea of
the laws of consumption. The gem
eral aim of the plan is to give a
greater degree of practicability to
the course and the work will serve
as a substitute for the customary
outside readings.

Cash Prizes for Essays on Roads

You are to write about the condi-
ton OF the roads in your school dis
trict.
Are they we'll drained or are some
of the drains and bitches filled up SO
that the water will run over the road
during the winter and spring?
DO you know of any place where
little work opening up drains would
keep the water Off from the road
and save washouts and a lot of patch
ing later in the spring?
DO any of the roads in your dis
trict run over bad hills? Are the
grades steep? If SO, can you suggest
a way OF making the grades better?
Would you recomuend cutting the
hill down or going around it?
In your school district, there was
raised by taxation, considerable
amount of money for road work. " as
it spent to make the road permanent
ly better or just to patch up bad
places?
Was the road work done early in
the season last year and while the
ground was yet wet enough to pack
we'll. or later when the ground was
so dry it would not pack. Was the
new material, either dirt or gravel,
spread evenly SO that the road sur
face was left even and smooth, or
was ii dumped in piles and left
rough?
What do you think would be the
best way to improve the roads in
your school district?
Were any of the roads dragged?
If so, how do the roads so worked
compare with those that were not
dragged? Which were toughest in
the spring and early summer and
which were the least dusty in Au-
gust, September, and October?
What did it cost per mile to drag
the roads? Do you think it pays?
What should be the condition of the
road surface when it is dragged?
Should the roads be dragged just
to make them smooth or to puddle
the surface and make il hard?

DeIs and their guests were playing
cards, T.. n. tlichlitG. CARRIED as ho-
BIO, outlined the advantages of the
order in Il unique but entertaining
and torceiul manner. Mr.. Hinchliff
posed as "A former member of the
order who, through unfortunate cir
cumstances, had been reduced to the
depths of poverty and despair, but
who still looked to Pythianism for
fellowship and communion with the
members OF an order which had be-
friended him in his brighter days.
The life history OF the unfortunate
victim of circumstances and the his
tory of Pythianism were eleYerly in
tcrwoyen in IA story that held the
closest attention Of his hearers. Upon
being admitted to fellowship and re-
established in the graces of The

of honor and served as master of
ceremonies
The first order of events was a
friendly TRADE against members of
the order who follow some particu-
lar profession. Karl Allen was
called upon to give his opinion of the
members of the order who follow
the legal profession. His remarks
were answered by f, e. Sanger, who
handed out caustic and comical COM
ment concerning the newspaper fra
ternity. l.. e. Wenham directed his
who happen to be engaged in the
drug and mercantile business, and
Ritchey Sterne told what he thought
Of the loyeiorn members OF Evening
Star. The pipe of peace was finally
smoked and the merrymakers seated
themselves at the banquet table. The
big feature of the banquet was two
mammoth cakes, bearing the in
sigma of the order in colors, together
with the name OF the local lodge the
date of the foundation of the order
and the date of the celebration. The
cakes were prepared by Fl. NJ Beck

much favorable comment, both for
their appearance and taste.
Following the banquet dancing

tons of the more modern methods
Of the terpsichorean art.
Music for the program and dance

Fat Folks May
Now Become
Slim Quickly
Be Moderate in Your Diet, Breathe
Deeply, and Take Tassco.

Fat persons, particularly those
from 10 to 30 pounds above normal
weight will be interested to learn
that they may easily reduce their
weight without starvation diet or
tiresome exercise.
This can best be done by being
moderate in your diet, so that you
will not Over-tax your assimilative
organs, by getting plenty of fresh
air, by breathing deply and by tax
ing tassco four times a day.
Tassco may be obtained from Daw-
son Drug Co., and Williams Phar-
macy, Shellman, Ca, in 5-grain tab
let's, take one after each meal and
one before retiring at night. Ichy
cost little, are absolutely harmless,
are pleasant to take and are design
ed to reduce fatty accumulations in
the system wherever located.
A few days treatment should show
a noticeable reduction in weight, the
flesh should become firm, the skin
smooth and the general health i'm
proved, in fact your footsteps should
even become lighter, your work seem
easier and a lighter and more buoy
ant feeling take possession of your
whole being.
Every person who is 10 or 20
pounds over normal weight should
surely give this treatment a trial.
You will probably find that it is lust
what you need.
