ERA, ALUMNI TOLD
University Enjoying Most
Progressive Period,
DR.. Lewis Says.

George Washington University is
passing through the most progressive
era in it's history, DIR. William Mather
Lewis, president of the university,
said in his address at the luncheon
and monthly meeting of the General
Alumni Association of the university
at the La Fayette Hotel yesterday.
DR.. Lewis reviewed the accomplish
ments and development of George
Washington during the past year.
THE principal achievement of the
university" he said, lis it's afflliation
with Garfield and Cancer Hospitals
for the establishment of medical CEN
ter in Washington. This move means
much to the university and to Wash
ington, as 1t means q new medical
school building near the present Gar
field Hospital site, making more wards
available"
Praises Faculty Work.
Contributions of members of the
George Washington faculty to modern
literature, both in book form and in
magazine articles, are outstanding in
such productions in the country, he
stated. These, he said, are numerous
and of intrinsic value both to science
and literature.
DR.. Lewis also pointed to the new
equipment of the medical school and
the establishment Of clubrooms for
the students as very progressive steps
taken during the year. The provi-
sion Of physical education and hygiene
lectures for students also set forth as
necessary and helpful additions.
The. one-year athletic ruling, placed
In effect this year, is another progress
sive step, he said, and the George

none in the United States. He also
praised the accomplishment of the de-
batting teams of the university, which
will go abroad this spring.
In discussing the finances of the
university, he said that $4,000 had
just been paid off the indebtedness
and that a similar amount will be
paid off before the present term ends.
New Buildings Needed.
A new library and arts and science
buildings are needed, he continued.
Both of the present buildings are too
small, poorly equipped and inadequate
in every way to carry on the impor-
tant part that they should play in
the educational institution.
He expressed thanks TO the alumni
association for the work and contri-
buttons that have been given by the
members. He also called attention to
the conference of college and uni
versity professors to be held in
Washington in April for the discus
sion of the outstanding problems in
the educational world.
DR., George Il. Mclean, former presi-
dent of the University of Iowa and
until recently the director of the

When, therefore, I emphasize

wish 1t to be understood that
I speak of them as constituting

Everyone knows the saying IAN
apple q day keeps the doctor
away" but not many people
could explain why. The truth is
that the apple. a king among
fruits, is alkaline and full of
essential salts. 1t helps to pre-
vent acidity, with the conse-
quent ailments of govt, rheuma-
tism and jaundice, and the nerve
and skin troubles which result
from self -poisoning through slug
gishness of the liver.
The best time to eat an apple
is two hours after a meal. when
the food is just beginning to
leave the stomach, and a par
ticularly excellent time is the
last thing at night. IT has a
mild antiseptic and cleansing eff

moves the acid and unpleasant
taste from the mouth and It
neutralizes all the excess acids
which have accumulated In the
system during the day. BY
doing this it conduces to sound
and refreshing sleep and good
health on rising next morning.
