OF the many parties and pleas
ant affairs enjoyed by the teachers
and students of the Central Kansas
Business College this past winter,
one of the most pleasant took place
last night when the students gave a
surprise dinner at the Tip Top Inn,
in honor of the birthday of Miss May
Biesecker, who has been teacher at
the college the past four years, and
is greatly loved by the students. The
plans for the surprise were carried
out with great success. While one of
the young men went to the home of
Miss Biesecker to invite her to ride
in his new car, and to take dinner
with him, the other students gather
ed at the Tip Top Inn and awaited
the arrival of the young lady and
her escort Upon their arrival the
surprise was disclosed and amid
much laughter, the students we're
seated at the tables, where covers
were laid for twenty-six. The din
ner was excellent and everyone was
in a merry mood, and an hour
passed pleasantly in social converse
ton.
Miss Lula Spangler, an intimate
friend of Miss Biesecker, and Mr..
Everett Bowen, who will soon be
called for army service were addi-
tional guests. Miss Lila Tabler, the
teacher Of shorthand deserves much

A Bilious Attack.

When you have a bilious attack
your liver fails to perform It's func-
tions. You become constipated. The
food you eat ferments in your
stomach instead OF digesting. This
infiames the stomach and causes
nausea, vomiting and terrible
headache. Take Chamberlain
Tablets. They will tone up your
liver, clean out your stomach and
you will soon be as we'll as ever.
They only cost a quarter.
