These statements were taken from
two enthusiastic letters which tell Of
the help that has been received from
using the Vegetable Compound. Both
Mrs. Shoup and Mrs. Storms were in
a rundown condition which caused
them much unhappiness. When women
are suffering from lack of strength and
from weakness, their own life and that

feel we'll and strong and are able to do
their homework easily, happy homes
are the result.
Thousands of testimonial letters have
been received from women in different
walks of life, stating that the Com

 Against Football Team

New York, Oct. 25 t0 - The explanation of a Is to ' football victory by little Geneva college of Beaver Falls, Pa, over Harvard, and it's hard fought battle which resulted in a 60 triumph for Cor nell, lies in the personality and ability of Head Coach "Bo' Me Milan. in the opinion of Rev. Me Leon NJ. Pearce, president of the Presbyterian institution.
 Neither money nor scholastic prcfercncy nor laXity of college rules is permitted there, the New York World today quotes Dr. Pearce as saying when informed of growing criticism of his school.
 Referring to the status of "Ol- lie" Harris, the halfback whose presence on the team was ques- tioned just before the Cornell game, Mir. Pearce said;
 He received nothing from any other source directly or indirectly, except free tuition and a bona fde job, for which he is paid the same as other students Nho are not ath- letes. No athlete receives more than this at Geneva"
 Regarding Johnston and Davis, whose status was inquirea into by both Cornell and Harvard even be- fore the football season started, Rev. Mir. Pearce said neither have

Lake Forest College Girls Plan Novel Methods of PraCticing
 Theories.

 Miss Christine Payne, teacher of the class, said there had been con- siderable discussion concerning the practical application of some of the volume of theory, and that it vir- tually was assured that the co-eds would vote favorably today on the adoption proposal.
 The girls in the special class are sophomores and juniors, from l 8 to 20 years old. Their plan is to bring the child to the college and keep it In the girls dormitory. The baby would be passed along from room to room, with each student taking entire care of it for a day.
 Remarkable as it may seem," Miss Panye said, ''the co-eds all most to girl, want a boy"

BRILLIANT RECORD MADE
 BY STATE TRADE SCHOOL
20 Per Cent of Graduates Have En- rolled in Recognized Colleges
 and Universities

Despite the fact that the State Trade school is not considered a college preparatory school, 20 per cent of it's graduates in the past year have enrolled in college and universities. This IS unusual when it is considered that the average per ccntage of high school graduates throughout the country who are ad- mitted to higher institutions is eight per cent.
 The desire of trade education among employees Of factories and building trades has been on the in crease in the past few years so that the spacious trade school on South Main street is not large enough 10 take care of the demand. A wait ing list of over 100 students has been in existence since the opening of school last month, Principal Her man s. Hall said today.
 The greatest part Of the boys are enrolling at Pratt Institute and Worcester Technical school.

PARSONS, HARTFORD

"The Plays the Thing" is the name of the new Molnar comedy in which Holbrook Blinn will be seen at Parsons theater for three nights beginning Thursday. October 2S. with a matinee. This latest work of the great Hungarian dramatist has the distinction of being produced in America almost simultaneously with its production in Vienna and Buda- pest. The usual process with foreign plays adapted for the American stage is to await their continental production. This was not necessary with "The Plays The Thing"
 The adaptation of "The Plays The Thing" has been made by P. G. Wodehouse, himself the author of many successful plays, librettos and novels. Wodehouse witty style is admirably suited to express the subtleties and suavities of Molnar's dialogue in English.

 The place for such religious training is in the home, around the family altar, and in the Sunday schools, and churches" he said. The public school already is confronted with many problems and the re- ligious instruction of the child should be left in the hands of the parents"

AT PARSONS, HARTFORD

The occasion will be the presentation by Albert Lewis, in association with A H. Woods, of Glamour" written by Hugh Stanislaus Stanee and report cd 10 be something unusual in tue way of stage entertainment.
 Mir, Lewis is rapidly becoming one of America's most important the atrical producers. It will be re called that he was associated with Sam H. Harris in the productions of Six Cylinder Love-" Rain" "Se- crets,' The Nervous Wreck" and The Haunted House." and that as a member of the firm of Lewis and Gordon he sponsored The Family Upstairs" Easy Come.

 Moving from a New York city background to the front line trenches of the American forces in France at the time of the final big drive and from thence returning to Manhattan Island. the action of the play proceeds swiftly and with tell ing melodramatic punches. A mans faith and a womans frailty, the soul scorching lash of Moloch and the final leavening touch of good woman's love and sacrifice are tell ingly interlockcd in Stange's plot, Frankness of speech is the keynote of his writing.
