VAN SLYCK REGAlNS
" BASKETBALL LEAD
Heads List of Scorers in inter-
collegiate League-chance
for a New Record

Mike" Sweeney, the star Penn for =
ward, has dropped back again to second
place in the Intercollegiate basketball
point race and Van Slyck returns to the
ton place with total point score of
III, four more than Sweeney. Penn
sylvania has still two games to play,
however, and Yale only one more, which
would indicate that Sweeney has an ex-
cellcnt chance of again overhauling Van
Sylck and taking the first place for the
season.
Az a result Of the high scoring of this
winter. interest now centers on the pos E
sibility of either Sweeney or Van Slyck,
establishing a new individual scoring
record. Kinney, the former Yale star,
holds the high mark, according to the
records which have been kept accurately
only since 1905. Kinney Gagged forty
three field goals and forty four from
fouls for a total of 130 points during the
season of 1016-17.

Judging from the countless preparations ant
treatments which are continually being ad
yertised for the purpose of making thin people
Heshy, developing arms, neck and bust, and
replacing ugly hollows and angles by the soft
curved lines of health and beauty, there are
evidently thousands of men and women whc
keenly feel their excessive thinness.
Ihnness and weakness often due to
starved nerves. Our bodies need more phos-
phate than is contained in modern foods
Physicians claim there is nothing that will
supply this deficiency well as the organic
phosphate known among druggists as bitro-
phosphate, which is inexpensive and is sold by
Brattleboro Drug Co. and most all druggists
under guarantee of satisfaction or money
back. By feeding the nerves directly and by
iupplying the body cells with the necessary
phosphoric food elements, bitro-phosphate
should produce welcome transformation in

nearly always accompany excessive thinness

Following their aim TO practice

consideration plan to make all type

1t is likely that two typewriter rib

purchased in the near future and
placed in two of the schools
Ribbons used in the schools last
year cost about $500. With the use
of the machines. officials believe that
the cost can be reduced by approx
mately one-half.
More than twenty persons today
took the second examination for
teachers in the night school system.
The examination was held in the
auditorium of the Frank School and
was conducted by Superintendent
Ballou.
Another examination probably will
be held in the near future to fill ex-
listing vacancies. Walter B. Patter-
son. director of special schools, stated
today that there are two vacancies
for dressmaking teachers and ONLY
one took the examination. Vacancies
also are likely to exist for teachers
of other subjects.

Third. you adJure the members OF the

that every legislator takes an. oath OF

obligation TO take an oath to support
the constitution comes from the federal

then, is n legislator to do when two con-
