STUDENTS PRONE TO

Representative of Association Reveals
Alarming Employment of
Bromo Seltzer
Students are prone to use bromo
seltzer, which is in effect a habit
forming drug, according to Dr. Taul
N. Leach, of the American Medical
association, who lectured last night
in the Harper assembly room. Dr.
Leach discussed the harmful ingredi-

ufacturers
"ArptaniHd is a harmful tart of the
brbmo seltzer compound," said Dr.
Leach, "and its effects are similar to
opium and phenacetin, which also are
used in patent medicines. Only a
weak character would need the habitu
al bracer offered by these nosrtums,
anyway. Bromo quinine is another
fraud and really does not cure a cold.
Simple Home Remedies

"Simple home remedies often are
of value, but one should be sure that J
they are simple and also what the
causes of the illness being, treated.
No -one can diagnose his own case
successfully. Even if a proprietary
medicine were of value what good
would it do to take it for a disease if
one were not certain of the disease."

THE POWER TO THINK

of

asked what should be the chief em-'
phasis placed-upon college education, ed, does not signify onytmng runaa

"There are two things in American
rolleee life which should, at th

power of thinking. American life de-
mands a thinker. The man who can

i
time." -
T?trnt hw is where President
Thwing has struck at the prime fault
of college men and women. They re-
fuse to think. They permit their pro-.
fessors to do all of the brain work j

and swallow predigested knowledge in
regular doses.

for himself. What of real worth is
there in echoing lectures, textbooks,
in being a carbon copy of a member
of the faculty?
A professor complained the other
day that his examination papers were
horrible examples .of attempts to
memorize his lectures, and thereby re
ceive good grades. He claimed that
with but three or four exceptions
there was no original thinker in his
class, that his words were merely
swallowed and mechanically trans
mitted upon examination tablets.
This is the fault of college students
today. Their education is emptied
, into a barrel and tapped at various
intervals,
It is not knowledge, but the power
to think, which knowledge should ere.
' ate, that is valuable, that should be
emphasized. Ohio State LanternA
AN ABUSE OF THE LIBRARY
It does not seem bold to assume
that the purpose of the library is to
give access to books and to provide
a nlace where students can use them.
i "
The books the library furnishes; but
one often doubts whether it provides
the proper place to study them. The
defect is not to be blamed to any
one but the student body itself, and
to only a small fraction thereof. But
the one person in each ten or twelve,
who feels that he must make his so
journ at the library as sociable as
possible, is enough to disturb a whole
table, and often the neighboring
tables as well. The impulse to chat-
i ter "and laugh, to the annoyance of
those who are at the same table for
the purpose of working, and ror wnom
alone the library facilities are intend-
fy an inherent lack of consideration.
It is on case in which we students
showa lack of manners. By man-
ners one means, not superficiality
an mechanical observance of some
few conventions, but an innate re-
spect for the privileges and rights of
others. This abuse oi tne nnrary, is
so customary that one English in-
structor gave us the subject tor a
theme, "The Use of the Library as a
Social Center for Students." The Bit-
uatlon, if less sad, would be laugli-
able. The defeat of the purposes or
the library by a few talkative and
idle college men and women in tne
cold-blooded and brazen maimer we
see daily is enough to make one
doubt the value of education for some
people. Daily Cardinal.

Are You Thinking
About a New
Spring Suit?
Most men are interested many have already
bought. We believe . you will enjoy seeing and
trying on a few of these new Kensington and Kup
penheimer models and we invite you to do so the
first time you can talce a few minutes for that pur
pose. In our judgment they are the very best ready
for -service garments that are being produced in
America today. You already know the reputation
of Kensington clothes for fitting and "staying fit."
Kuppenheimer garments also will meet your re
quirements in every way.
The first cost of these domes may be slightly
more than some, but they're undoubtedly cheaper
in the end. Our new price range brings them
within easy reach of most men

Stars Get Passports
J. A. Gillman, 1916, captain of the
Harvard football team for next year,
was dropped from college by the uni
versity authorities Tuesday after
noon because of deficiencies in stud
ies. Two other football "H" men were
dropped for the same reason, Boles
and Enright. Boles was one of the
best pitchers on the Harvard base
ball squad. At the same time, E. W.
Ecker, manager of the second foot
ball team, was also dismissed by the
authorities.
