The Once Over
ELMER TWITCHELL DELIVERS A
BACCALAUREATE

Gentlemen OF the graduating class: You are as
sembled under these elms today for the last time be-
fore going forth to fight the battle Of life. That some
Of you are at last graduating will come as a distinct
surprise to your folks, but their real troubles will be-
gin now that they are to have you back on their
hands again.
This is a serious moment. No one knows what the
future holds, If anything, for you young men. This
is probably Just as well.
Some Of you will become leaders in the Industrial
industrial world, some will achieve distinction in the
professions, one or two will lead a radio orchestra and
popularze a song about drinking mugs; but the great
majority Of you will get no place in particular.

no one can ever take the place OF mother. Am I too

You came here as mere boys with your thinking pro-
cesses undeveloped and unframed. Nothing you have
experienced here during the past four years has
changed you In this respect, but I am proud TO say
that the class Of 1890 has never been excelled in the
matter Of rumble-seat petting, the whistling Of popu-
lar songs and a lively appreciation Of the less subtle
movies.
Your alma mater has striven to give you certain
ideals Of living, to create a vision Of life which shall
better fit you for coping with the problems Of a busy
world. If we have failed. your attention is called to
the rule that any complaints Of inattention be re-
ported TO the management. II we have succeeded. 1t
will be a great blow to the faculty. If you are un-
certain whether we have succeeded or not, let us drop
the subject and go on with our story.
In a few short hours you will have departed from
this great university bearing a diploma testifylng 10

to have and with few exceptions you are in luck to
get it.

words / wish you Godspeed in your journey through

WHAT DR.. CALDWELL
LEARNED IN ~
YEARS PRACTICE

A physician watched the results oi
constipation for Al years, and believed
that no matter how careful people are OF
their health, diet and exercise, constipa.
tion will occur from time to time. OF
next Importance, then, is how to treat
1T when it comes. DR.. Caldwell always
was in favor of getting as close to nature
as possible, hence his remedy for consti-
patton, known as DR.. Caldwelps Syrup
Pepsin, is a mild vegetable compound.
1t can not harm the system and is not
habit forming. Syrup Pepsin is pleasant
tasting, and youngsters love it.
DR.. Caldwell did not approve of
drastic physics and purges. He did not
believe they were good for anybody's
system. In a practice of AZ years he
never saw any reason for their use when
syrup Pepsin will empty the bowels just
rs promptly.
Do not let a day 60 by without a
bowel movement. Do not sit and hope,

for that purpose or should nave it ac-

he must have it. Unless he's stolen it,
