CALOMEL TODAY,
 SICK TOMORROW Dose of nasty calomel makes you sick and you lose 8
 days work

CalomeI salivates! It's mercury. Cal omel acts like dynamite on a sluggish liver When calome1 comes into con tact with sour bile it crashes into it. causing cramping and nausea.
 If you feel bilious, headachy, constt- pated and all knocked out, just go to your druggist and get a 50-cent bottle of Dodsen's Liver Tone, which is a harmless vegetable substitute for dan gerous calomel. Take spoonful and if 1t doesn't start your liver and straighten you up better and quicker than nasty caIomel and without making you sick, you just go back and get your money.
 If you take calomel today you'll be sick and nauseated tomorrow; besides, it may salivate you, while if you take Dodson's Liver Tone yor will wake up feeling great, full of ambition and ready for work or play. It's harmless, pleas ant and safe to give to children; they like it.--Adv.

 WORK
 Throughout the year the general spirit Of work and the observance of the laws of the college have been excellent. While during the excitement and agitation of war throughout the latter part of the sessions. the steadiness of the student body has been remarkable.
 In the crisis many of the students re- sponded to the call of the colors, 42 from the senior class alone While many oth- CTS entered the army of producers" an equally necessary and honorable line of defense, according to President Wilson Those who were prepared went to serve their country, while others who were not prepared remained to become so, and never was there a more imperative de- mand for thorough, scientific, prepara- ton than at this critical moment. Formal contracts were drawn up by all students who left college and entered upon agriculture. The degrees were conferred in regular order upon all mem- bers of the senior class who reported for military service or went back to the farm; this action being duly ratified by the board of trustees.
 The poise of the student body, I am pleased to say, was due in a large de- gree to the poise and sound judgment of the commandant of cadets, Capt. Frank w. Powell The classes remaining at their studies have been prompt and faithful, and have achieved excellent re- suits.
 MILITARY DEPARTMENT ] Interest in the military department has f been marked throughout the year. In pursuance of the action of the board, l taken at it's last meeting, unit of the reserve officers training corps was es- l tabished in this institution with Capt. | Frank w. Rowell in charge.

You need have no hesitancy about coming to see me-for stam- mered badly myself for 20 years. and the fact that you are a stam- merer brings you near to me-it is the bond that unites us I under stand you because your condition Is so similar to mine when stam- mered.
 When you hear me talk. I know you will not believe that once stammered worse than you do. But, from mere childhood I was afflict- ed so badly I was almost speeches.. was handicapped throughout my entire early life. The trouble grew worse with the years and finally compelled me to leave college. I could not recite when called upon, even though I knew perfectly what I desired to say. I could not secure employment because I could not ask for it without revealing my infirm- ity; then they did not want me. Socially I was impossible, because of the faces I made whenever I tried to converse.
 My parents spent hundreds of dol lars in attempts to correct my speech. I was sent to the various institutions and private schools in the west and in the east. including Philadelphia, Baltimore, Detroit, Washington, New York and Boston, which claimed to be able to cure "stammering." even tried all the
 Co papers But without avail. l was pronounced "hopeless case" by one specialist after another.
 After having consulted specialist after specialist. and tried cure after cure, I set about the arduous task of mastering the principles of voice and speech for myself. I studied for years, reading everything pertain ing to voice culture. and finally worked out the principles by which I accomplished and perfected my own complete and permanent cure. Today I speak as readily, as rapid ly and as fluently as any one.
 The result of this wonderful scientific achievement soon became
 
 mented upon in the public press. It put an entirely new light upon the subject of stammering. do for others, afflicted as I have been, the same service I rendered myself. This method, purely natural, involves the use of no drugs, no surgical or med ical aids. no hypnotism. It is simply the application of educational prin- ciples to the fundamental causes of stammering. I have mastered the secrets which underlie defective speech. I have cured hundreds at my Institute The cure is absolutely certain.
 Stammering cannot be cured by mail any more than typhoid fever can be cured by mail.
