Speaking as one who is as real an Auburn man az any one living-though not an Auburn graduate-I wish to ex- press my admiration for what Professor Bragg has done for athletics and for the calege as a whole. His cooperation helps to Tighten as much as possible, work that is strenuous and nerve racking. It Is an old story that TO one is necessary in this world, but Bragg comes as near to being a necessity to Auburn as it is possible for anyone to he. I look forward to the future with pleasure and %onfidence in cooperating with him for the best inter- est of Auburn"

 Years

You were taught at school that your body undergoes a complete change of structure every seven years.
 This tearing down and build ing up process of body tissue continues without a moment's 6 pause throughout life.
 And when a man gets into a physical condition that the tis- sues keep breaking down and wasting away faster than Ma ture can replace them, right then he begins to grow "old".
 This doesn't necessarily mean, however, that he has reached an advanced age. Thousands upon thousands of people begin to break down, their vital organs giving evi- dence of fast approaching de- cay, long before they reach middle age simply because they fail to give Nature, at the proper time, the needed help to rebuild.
 If you are beginning to show the slightest sign of a physical '1et-down"-if you are losing your old time ''pep" vim and vigor if high tension energy and nervous strain are begin ming to tell on you-it's a sure sign that you are growing "old" too old foryouryears. You've reached that stage where your vital forces need rebuilding. non't make the serious mistake
