Kansas registered 151,843 mer

the students were like an old build

be torn down and rebuilt. That is
the process the students have gone
through. And now they are being
rebuilt.
The large amount of outdoor ex-
ercise and the good food is telling
it's story. Most of the men have
commenced to build up. But the
flesh is hard and firm. Their mus
cles have become hardened and
taut. Some of the men lost as much
as two pounds a day for the first
two weeks. But men who have been
thin all their lives are putting on
flesh.
The food is excellent and the
men are all we'll satisfied. The gov

of running the mess, including the
salary of cooks and walters, comes
