SCORE HIT

Fine University Talent
Shown to Exceptional
Advantage
LARGE AUDIENCE PLEASED
Peer Gynt Suite Presented With
Rare Talent-Eyery Number of
Program FncOred
LARGE AUDIENCE PLEASED

Distinctly novel and altogether
university Treble Clef club, a women's
glee organization, held in the campus
auditorium, Monday evening. A large
crowd of undergraduate and towns
people was on hand for the entertain
ment.
The choral work of the club, direct
ed by Professor Eugene H. Storer, was
exceptionally good. In the Peer Gynt
suite, perhaps the feature of the pro-
gram, every musical mood from the
sprightliness of the "Anitra's Dance"
selection to the somber, funeral meas
ures of "The Death of Ase," as ex-
emplified in the suite, was rendered
with rather consumate artistry.
Some Pleasing Numbers
The club was assisted in it's maiden
concert by Homer Mcdonald, who
sang the bass solo, "Hybras the Cret-
an" with fine Interpretive power;
Miss Camille Mcdaniel, whose read
ing of Little Sister, a charming
child lyric, was wholly delightful; the
Phi Delta Theta banjo trio, which
rendered number of popular nelod
les and the university orchestra, which
rendered, as a solo, the Blue Dan
ube Waltz"
Danced the Minuet
The costumed French minuet dane
ed by the Misses Gertrude and Permel-
ia Hays was artistic and graceful, al
fording just the additional variety that
the program needed.
A real high light of the evening WAS
the solo, "Solveig's Song sung as a
part of the Peer Gynt suite by Miss
Edna Coutts. Miss Coutt's voice is |
an exqusitely timbred soprano and |
her enunciation and expression are
perfect.
The piano accomplishments were |
capably rendered by Miss Velma !
Spaulding and Miss Jennie Peterson.

The French also have gained some

at least destroy, any maps or messages
that might have been drawn on the
skin.
Tie inspection of the clothing and
baggage of the traveller has been so
thorough that the only way spies
could get maps of fortifications and
other information that it was neces-
Sary to carry in writing. past the bor-
der has been to draw it on the skin
with a chemical which dried out and
became invisible, after the fashion of
sympathetic inks. When the spy
reached his own headquarters. an
other chemical was applied, which
brought out the message. The citric
acid, which is the principal constituent
of lemon juice, serves to bring out
these hidden designs, or in many cases,
to destroy them.
While much of the spying in Ger
many has been done by men. women
and children have been used largely
for a means of carrying the informa-
tion out of the country. AS a result
of these lemonade baths, many men
and women whose skins revealed mes
sages and maps, have been given long
term prison sentences. - The Amer

WHAT THEODORE VAIL THINKS
OF COLLEGE MEN

In the January American Magazine
Theodore Vail says:
The young man entering life must
not be impatient. He must accumu-
late experience. he must learn the du-
ties of his position by the actual do
ing before he has any value to his
employer.
The reason so many college boys
fail is that they are full of theories
they think they know it all. A college
course is good thing, an excellent
thing, but it must be given to the
right kind of youth. Quite a number
of the highest positions are filed by
men who went through college but
who had no false notions as to what
was required of them when they en-
tered business. No man is worth
anything until he has gone into the
heat of the battle and had his theories
subordinated to practice.
Tie son of rich parents is handi-
capped in his youth. He gets no ex-
perence of doing things, and no
opportunity to benefit from hard
knocks such as come the other fellows
way.
when a boy comes to ask me to
put him through college l tell him it
would be the worst thing that could
happen to him. l say: You would
not only have a burden of debt on

TURK MASSACRE
TOLD BY WOMAN
Letter From Mrs. Fowle Re-
cites Horrible Story of
Butchery

New York, Jan. 15.-Following
closely upon news from Constanti-
nople of the death of Miss Mary G..
Fowle. one of the two Americans per-
mitted to remain in the Turkish city
of Sivas when the American hospital.
school and college buildings were oc-
cupied by Germans last summer, a
letter written by Mrs. Fowle, dated
July Z. has just been received here.
The letter recites in detail vivid tale
of massacre in the interior of Turkey
when men and women persisted in
maintaining their religious beliefs and
refused TO change their names.
on Monday, June &c, the letter says,
all the native laborers who Lad been
working on the roads were taken into
custody. on the following day more
than 1000 men were crowded into a
military prison, without food or
water. Later some 200 artisans and
servants were released upon condition
that they change their names. Press
ure was brought to bear upon others
and continued for ten days. until the
majority of the prisoners yielded.
Prisoners DFOuSnt TO tne nlllllary
prison from villages. the letter set
forth, had no changes of clothing
Miss Fowle and her only American
companion, Miss Mary L. Graham,
aided these unfortunates as best they
could. Later the prisoners were sent
to BoZanu on the German railroad.
The letter continues:
The prisoners went off in groups
of 200 to 800 per day. When the first
group started off in daylight, with only
few escorts. we felt reassured. By
Sunday 900 had gone. Early Thurs
day morning came reports that all
who left Sivas had been massacred.
We did not believe it at first. We
lave now seen one eyewitness who
escaped and two others who had
heard this news with but one inter-
mediary. We all feel convinced now
that there have been massacres.
The men were apparently taken
out two by two and delivered into the
hands of villagers armed with axes,
pixies, saws and other weapons. Our
second account said the prisoners
were stood up, bound and shot. Our
informant managed to roll into a gully
and escape. although he was shot at
He reported seeing half-burned arms
and legs and heads in the gully as he
passed through.
Now when prisoners ask us
whether to change their names or be
sent off we don't dare say no."

To do this, get about four ounces of

night when retiring; use enough to
moisten the scalp and rub it in gently
with the finger tips.
By morning, most if not all. of your
dandruff will be gone. and three OF

STOMACH MEDICINES
ARE DANGEROUS
DOCTORS NOW ADVISE MAGNEsrA

Just how dangerous it is to indis-
crimlnately dose the stomach with
drugs and medicines is often not real
lZed until too late. 1t seems so simple
to swallow dose of some special mix
ture or take tablets of soda, pepsin,
bismuth, etc. after meals, and the folly
of this drugging is not apparent un-
til, perhaps years afterward when IL
is found that gastric ulcers have al
most eaten their way through the
stomach walls. Regrets are then un-
availing; 1t is in the early stages when
indigestion, dyspepsia, heartburn
fiatulence, etc. indicates excessive
acidity of the stomach and fermenta-
tion of food contents that precaution
should be taken. Drugs and medicines
are unsuitable and often dangerous
they have little or no influence upon
the harmful acid, and that is why doc
tors are discarding them and advising
sufferers from indigestion and stom.
ach trouble to get rid of the dangerous
acid and keep the food contents bland
and sweet by taking a little pure bis
urated magnesia instead. Bisurated
Magnesia is an absolutely pure anti
acid which can be readily obtained
from any drug store. Ii is absolutely
harmless, is practically tasteless and
a teaspoonful taken in little warm
or cold water after meals, will usually
be found quite sufficient to instantly
neutralize excessive acidity of the
stomach and prevent all possibility of
the food fermenting. c. A. Gorgas can
