COLUMBIA CREWS
RACE ON HUDSON

New York, March 30-Coach Rice
gave his Columbia crews change
yesterday afternoon by running off a
series of quarter mile sprints up the
Hudson between the varsity and jul
nior crews. At the end of the two
miles the varsity led by slight mar
gin and Rice declared he was much
pleased with the results. The use
of the barges did not dim the rival
ry of the boats. Next week the crews
will use shells.
The changes have been made in
the arrangement of the crew in the
first boat in the last two days.
Wormser has been placed in No. Z
Immediately behind the stroke and
Kraus, who formerly occupied the
position, has been shifted to No. 3.
Taylor, Parks and Shactel have each
moved forward a place. With this
arrangement the lineup of the vars
ity yesterday was as follows: Brown,

Spud Is Important.

"The humble potato is destined to
play an important part in the present
world war. We are warned that as
much depends upon bread as bullets,
but owing to the scarcity of bread and
an overabundance of potatoes, it
would seem that more attention must
be given to the storing and preserving
of this crop.
Scientists used to say that there
was but little food value in the po-
tato. But recently they have learn
ed with others that a little learn
ing is a dangerous thing. Now we
are told that there is almost a bal
anced ration to be found in boun-
tiful meal of potatoes. At any rate
it has been amply proved that there
is no single vegetable that brightens
SO many homes, or feeds so many peo-
pie as the potato.--Exchange.

KEEP LOOKING YOUNG
It's Easy-If You Know DR..
Edwards Olive Tablets

The secret of keeping young is to feel
young - to do this you must watch YOUR
liver and bowels - there's no need of
having sallow complexion - dark rings
under your eyes - pimples "a bilious
look in your face - dull eyes with no
sparkle. Your doctor will tell you ninety
per cent of all sickness comes from in.
active bowels and liver.
= DR.. Edwards, a well-known physician
In Ohio, perfected a vegetable COM
pound mixed with olive oil to act on
the liver and bowels, which he gave to
his patients for years.
DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets, the substi.
tute for calomel, are gentle in their action
vet always effective. They bring about
that exuberance Of spirit, that natural
buoyancy which should be enjoyed by
everyone, by toning up the liver and clear
ing the system of impurities. \

1894 they fought for the title at La

in the 2Sth round. The italian did
not challenge again after the drawn

boxing. In November of the same
year they met fourth time, and the
result was again a draw. The follow
