Makes You Lose
Unhealthy Fat

A lady from Norwich, Conn,
writes: II lost 16 lbs. with my first
bottle of Kruschen. Being on night
duty it was hard to sleep days but
now since am taking Kruschen /
sleep plenty, eat as usual and lose
fat, too"
To take off fat-take one half tea
spoonful of Kruschen Salts in a
glass of hot water in the morning
before breakfast-one bottle that
lasts 4 weeks costs but a few cents
get it at any drugstore in Amer
lea. If this first bottle fails to con-
vince you this is the SAFE and
harmless way to lose fat-your
money gladly returned.
Don't accept anything but Kruschen
because you must reduce safely.

There were two small children
at the lighthouse in those days.
Every morning the young mother
rowed them across the bay to
school on Staten island. Every
evening she called for them. She
became an excellent oarswoman
and distinguished herself time and
again by the courage with which
she braved high seas to launch her
small boat and row out to the res

"Tom" Hunley

IN 1862 there was enlisted in the
L Union forces engaged in the
Civil war a drummer boy named
Tom Hunley. He was a frail little
fellow, whom the soldiers often
teased with looking more like a
girl than a boy. But his father,
Jeremiah Hunley, enlisted In the
same regiment. kept Tom close at
his side. and protected him not
only from the taunts but even from
the friendship of their comrades In
arms. And for three years little
Tom drummed the Northern troops
along their weary marches and into
desperate battle. and only two peo-
pie, his own father and General
Grant. ever knew that he was no
drummer boy. but a little girl!
Toms father carried the secret
to his grave few years after the

Grant told none. So that 1t was

AS he could gain a private hearing
with the general he explained that
the drummer boy was no boy but

him the circumstances which had

What Can You

Of Rheumatism /?


1t has now been discovered by
thousands of rheumatic sufferers
that the pains of that distressing
disorder can be eased in as little as
few minutes relief and comfort
in almost as little time as it takes
to tell
Doctors advise two tablets of
Bayer Aspirin taken with a full glass
of water. Then a rest of a few min
utes and that is all. Pain is
eased quickly-sometimes almost
unbelievably.
Relief comes so fast because of
the peculiar quick-dissolving prop
erty of Genuine Bayer Aspirin. The
tablets you take dissolve almost IN

thus you get practically instant re-

SENIOR CLASS HEARS
PHONOGRAPH SPEECH

8
On Wednesday, April 20, Mr..
Hodge brought a portable phono-
graph into the Senior assembly and
gave a reproduction of a speech
made by DR.. Carl Taylor Compton
from the Massachusetts Institute
of Technology. DIR. Compton is
among the outstanding research
men in the United States. He gave
an address by reproducing record
in connection with the science of
engineering.
DR.. Compton explained the inn
portant connection between an or
binary, quiet evening that you
spend and the science of engineer
ing. Skill in physics, chemistry,
and mathematics are necessary for
a good, successful engineer.
This reproduction is about the
first tried in the Northwest and
was sponsored by Millican, the
author of the Physics book used
in the Kennewick school. This
method of the reproducing record
is on the same basis as the cleo
trical transcription.

STUDENTS HELP PRESENT
PROGRAM IN WALLA WALLiA

The high school orchestra and
chorus had very interesting ex-
perience Friday, April % in Walla
Walla. The 400 boys and girls in
the chorus gathered in the audi
torium Of the high school at loo
pm. for rehearsal. The most ex-
citing event of the afternoon was
after the folks had gathered on the
stage, the built-up platforms on
the back of the stage fell over with
about $50 boys and girls on them.
Very fortunately no one was in
jured. Well built platforms were
put in place before the evening
program.
The rehearsals were all over at
four o'clock and from then till 1880
the students entertained them
selves as they wished. The Kenne-
wick orchestra had a banquet at
the Grand hotel at 600. Mr.. Wright
of the Northwest Conn Co., at Sc
attic, and Mr.. Pratt of Whitman
College were guests of honor and
both gave interesting speeches.
The evening program began at
500 pm. The music was well re-
ceived by a large audience.
The purpose of the ensemble was
to arouse interest in music in young
people. Up to the closing of the
program it was considered an ex-
pertinent. 1t proved very success
full and now the music ensemble
will be an annual event. Every
student that took part in the en-
semble has learned more about
music and became more interested
in music.
