HUNDRED THOUSAND
IN BROWNELL FOND
Joseph -Barker's Squad Cap-
ir tures Coveted Honor Two
' " Days in Succession.
TEAMS PARADE IN HALL
" The $100,000 mile post has been
passed in the campaign for $250,000
to rebuild Brownell Hall.
Yes, it was passed with $2,590 to
spare, for the total subscriptions to
date are $102,590. It was the team
captained by Joseph Barker whlf,h
dragged the ball over the goal and
made the touchdown. Barker stood
up heroically and announced the re
sult of the day's work of his team as
$3,000. This gave him the champion
ship for the day, an honor which he
ran away with , Thursday. Nor was
he content with this, for he promised
to bring in another $3,000 Saturday.
. John T. Yates and M. A. Hall were
appointed to carry the championship
banner to the Barker table, and as it
had already occupied that position,
there was nothing to do but to march
around the entire hall with the ban
ner. In a spirit of fun others joined
the procession, until half a hundred
of the team workers were parading
around the Fontenelle banquet room
behind the championship banner.
Bouquet to Mr. Potter.
'' To Mrs. Phil Potter's team went
the bouquet, which is the symbol of
the championship among the women's
trains for the flay.' Joe Barker car
ried the bouquet, to her.
In these latter days of the campaign
suggestions are being thrown out for
memorials in the new building. Any
one who wishes to give enough
money to fit out a chapel, a gym
nasium, a library wing, school build
ing, music wing, dining room, resi
dence hall, infirmary Suite or swim
ming pool, will be welcome, and wjH
probably have a chance to get his or
her name indelibly inscribed in bronre
on the walls of such room. .
Harry Tukey was asked to matte
the "pep" talk of the day, but he
pleaded a sore throat and a hoarse
voice, and escaped.

BACKACHE
(By L. H. Smith, M. D.)
In 'spite of the best care one takes
of oneself, any partif the human ma
chine is liable to become out of order.
The most important organs are the
Stomach, heart and kidneys
The kidneys are the scavengers and
they work day and night in separating
the poisons froru' the blood. Their sig
nals of distress are easily recognized
and include such symptoms as back
ache, depressions, drowsiness, irrita
bility, headaches, dizziness, rheumatic
twinges, dropsy, gout..
The very best way to restore the
kidneys to their normal state is to
drink plenty of pure water and to ob
tain a small amount of Anuric, which
is dispensed by most, every druggist
Anuric is inexpensive and should be
taken before meals. It is much more
potent than lithia and many find that
Anuric dissolves uric acid as water
does sugar.
. People are realizing more and more
every day that the kidneys, just as do
the bowels, need 'to be flushed . oc
casionally, ine kidneys are an
eliminative organ and, aro. constantly
working, separating the poisons tfom
the blood. Under this continual and
perpetual action they are apt to con
gest, and then trouble starts. Uric
acid backs up into the system, caus
ing rheumatism, neuralgia, dropsy and
marty other serious disturbances. It
means that you are a victim to uric
acid poisoning. Then ask your drug
gist tor Anuric, which was first dis
covered by Dr. Pierce of the Surgical
Institute in Buffalo, and which is dis
pensed by nearly every druggist in
the land. Advertisement.

Loses Her Voice
As Result of an'
, Auto Accident
! Two Omaha girls, Louise Bailey
and Florence Jenks,, attending the
State university, had a narrow escape
from serious injury in an automobile
accident at Lincoln Sunday, accord
ing to word just received by their
parents. Miss Jenks is the daughter
of Rev. Mr. and Mrs. Edwin Hart
Jenks, and Miss Bailey's parents are
Mr. and Mrs. H. J. Bailey. '
The Omaha girls, with Miss Dor
othy Lynn and Miss Ruth Wilson of
Hastings were riding in car driven
by Miss Margaret Hammond of Lin
coln. Miss H-.mmond's Angers grew
cold, so Miss. Wilson, who drives a.
different style of car, offered to re-'
lieve her and took the steering wheel.
Miss Wilson lost control of the car
while going down a-hill and put her
foot on the throttle instead of the
brake. The car crashed into several
tombstones in the cemetery, where
they were driving, spilling the girls
out of the car.
Miss Bailey lost her voice for three
days as a result of the shock and
Miss Lynn and Miss Wilson suffered
severe cuts. Otherwise the girls were
unharmed.
All of the girls arc Kappa Alpha
Theta members.
