"It costs the state $1,000 year to
educate a college man before he is
able to give a return to society for
what the state does for him, "said
Ben M. Cherrington, former Oma
ha man, who is now head of one of
the student departments of the In
ternational committee of the Y. M.
C. A., assigned to travel the Rocky
Mountain region. His territory in
cludes Nebraska, Kansas, Colorado,
Wyoming, Utah and Montana, with
headquarters at Denver. .
"We expect to lay stress on the
idea of the service the college man
owes to the country. While the
college man is one of the chief reli
ances of the nation (that was no
ticeable in the recent call to arms,
when college men were called to the
most responsible positions) there
are certain obligations he owes to
the state which supports the institu
tions where he received his educa
tion." Mr. Cherrington was graduated
from the Omaha High school in '04
and the University of Nebraska in
'11, having left college for a time to
establish a department of athletics
at the Omaha High school.
After graduation he went to the
University of California as general
secretary of the University of Cali
fornia Y. M. C. A., where he re

nature of the disease, quarantine is
established until a differential
diagnosis can be made.
"Daily examination of school
children through medical inspection,
and where this is not possible, by
the teachers being instructed to
send home any child showing signs
of illness. Children must be sent
home in such a way that they will
avoid spreading the disease to oth
ers." Expect a Recurrence.
Dr. Edward.-, recently stated that

ported from Chicago and from va
rious towns in Kansas.

Why Do French Women
Always Look Young?
In France mother and daughter look
like lister. How are the women there
able to retain their youthful look until
long paat middle age? Is it because they
are much given to the use of mercolized
wax? This wax possesses a remarkable
absorbent property which quickly removes
the fine particles of cuticle which are
constantly dying and which are the im
mediate cause of an old-looking complex
ion. Thus the livelier, healthier, younxer
skin beneath is given a chance to breathe
and to how itself. Try this treatment
yourself. Most likely it will not require
two week to make your complexion as
clear, soft and beautiful as a young girl's.
Just one ounce of mercolized wax (all
American druggist have it), usually does
the work. The wax ie put on nights like
cold cream and washed off mornings.
