VOTE STUDY NOT POPULAR
swsrthmore Professor Urges Women

DR.. Robert c. Brooks. professor OF
noIitcal science at Swarthmore College
contends that women arc not giving
enough attention to questions relative
to the ballot. He declares that in his
classes dealing with that subject less
Young women are now taking the course
than FIVE years ago.
"In 1915" said Doctor RTooks.
nearly half of the political science
students were young women. As far
back as 1912 find by looking over my
enrolment cards that virtually as many
fair students were interested in gov
ernmental subjects as there are today.
This is not as it should be. With
the ballot so close to the women. every
one who enters college shou d enroll in
a course in government. a man has
opportunities in business life to inform
himself of political matters, but a
woman must gain this knowledge in the
classroom. "

YOUR POWER TO
FIGHT OFF COLDS
How You Gan Build Up Strength
to Maintain Health

Your power to fight off cold is eX-
actly as great as anybody's if your
power of resistance is normal, but II
through overwork or as the result OF
illness you have become weakened and
rundown this power of resistance has
been so lowered that the germ of the
cold finds you an easy victim,
You can increase your power of re-
sistance, not by stimulation which has
the opposite effect, but by taking real
food body builder which your system
can absorb. In most cases the weak
ened digestive system cannot secure
this necessary element from ordinary
food, This is why Father Johns Medi-
cine is so successful in building up the
power of resistance. 1t contains the
food elements necessary to build up
the power of resistance and these ele
ments are in such a form that they
are taken up by weakened systems
just as blotting paper takes up ink.
Father Johns Medicine really re-
builds wasted tissue and makes new
flesh and strength. Millions of mothers
depend on it as their family medicine
because they know it is free from dan
gerous drugs and alcohol and is there
fore safe for all the family.
