First Relay Trials for
MelrOse Club Meet

The first tryouts for the Colby Col
lege relay team that will represent
the college at the Madison Square
Garden in thNrelay games given by the
Melrose Athletic Club on Feb. I, were
held Friday. Although the weather
was a bit cold and the wind swept
down across the athletic field with coll-
siderable velocity the board track was
kept clear by frequent application of
q broom and the trials went on just
the same. William E Weise Of
White Plains, n. Y, is now a veteran
on the Colby tracA team and one Ct
the greatest hurdlers that Colby ever
produced. Weise tore around the. track
at a fast clip urged on by Mike Ryan
the track coach. who held the timer in
his hand. Alan Mercer, also Of White
Plains. the quartermiler who beat Eu-
ker of Bates at the State meet AT
Brunswick. was running IN his usual
good form and is practically sure OF
a place on the team: Norman Fora1.

Making Bad Things Worse

Winter, as if it We're an evil spirit,
seems to take delight in making bad
things worse. rheumatism twists
harder. twinges sharper, catarrh be-
comes more annoying, and the many
symptoms of scrofula are developed
and aggravated. These are common
diseases. and it is a wonder that more
people don't get rid of them.
Hoods Sarsaparilla has been very
successful in the treatment of these
complaints. 1t is easily obtained,
and there is abundant testimony that
its effects are radical and. permanent.
In cases where a laxative or ca
thartic is needed. it is well to supple
ment Hoods SarsaparilIa with Hoods
Pills, which are gentle, thorough and
cffective-Adv.

DR.. A. X. Foster Talks
on "The Conscience"

DR.. Allen n. Foster, secretary OF
the educational division Of the North
ern Baptist Convention gave the
| first of number Of chapel talks that
he will give 10 the Mems Division of
Colby college during his stay at the
college. He was introduced by
| President Roberts AMI he took IS his
subject, THE Conscience" DR.. Eos
ter said that the natural sciences
are closely allied with the Christian
Gospel and that finally they viii ar
rive at n fundamental doctrine. He
said that the study of psychology was
helping the student in the college and
in fact everyone that took any inter-
est in the subject to obtain 4 deeper
knowledge OF the human soul and
that probably before many more
years there would be specific know
ledge on the subject of the soul. This
| is helping sciences because of their
| fundamental aim to find out the cause
of life and to give & definition of why
man is here.
Dr. Foster said that he was not
talking of Il man Of any particular
creed although he honestly believed
that his creed was the best. He said
that ne was talking man to man in
the same manner that he did when he
came to the college a year ago. The
conscience was an old subject and he
stated that the Psychological defini-
ton OF conscience was that II stands
close to the distinctive life although
it is not n part of the instructive life
and il acts as a check to mans
whims and desires when they begin to
run away with him. The conscience
does not talk of religion but it tells
! the man who wishes to be as happy
as possible that this or that course
will build up or destroy his happiness,
then h"ring given the warning the
man i" Eft to work out his own des-
tiny. No man can set away from his
conscience even If it does seem that
some men are immune from this great
controlling power. It stands always
ready, throughout life's many battles
with desire and man must fight it
even TO. the grave. AS a purely bio
logical speciman, not as man, en-
dowed with a soul. if man cares fos
his life and its possibilities he will
heed the voice OF conscience. which
does not prate of heaven or hell but
speaks about the human machine and
what Is best of It.
DR.. Foster said that he had spoken
to over 100000 students in the past
year and that he had visited more
than 200 colleges.
Dr. and Mrs. George G.. Averill will
leave here on Thursday next for Los
Angeles. Cal, where they will pass
the winter months. They will take
the southern route out, going by way
Of Washington, New Orleans and
