That program in itself is reason
for the existence of the depart

from that program, however, we
believe results almost entirely
from the ftet that the girls tak

the inclination to do so.

Lincoln physicians already have

opinion that keeping the student

girls for numerous other practices
which it fosters. Red tape require

amazingly in the department,
which " is probably a logical out

For example we are told of the
case of the under-weight coed who
three years ago was forced into
the so-called sleeping class in the
department. Her schedule permit
ted her to take the class only at
8 o'clock in the morning, so on
the designated mornings, it was
necessary for her to arise and pro
ceed to the university there to ful
fill the requirement of getting
sleep sufficient to build up her
physical well-being.

GOOD HEALTH means vitality. And it takes lots
of energy to be a leader in the classroom, and in
the social activities of college. So to succeed, you
must make your health a required course.
Too often constipation is permitted to under
mine health and sap vitality. It may cause head
aches, loss of appetite and energy.
Try this pleasant "cereal way" to health. Two
tablespoonfuls of Kellogg's ALL-BRAN daily will
promote regular habits. It supplies "bulk,"
