The Bethel College Glee Club gave

The Juniors have Carlyle's "Essay

finished it for we are anxious to be-
gin another classic which promises
to be equally as good. Tennyson's
"The Princess”.
Miss Blackert says she is going
to make the acquaintance of all the

first impression is lasting".
There is yet six weeks of school.
None of the students seem very sorry.
One night not long ago, we hap- j
petted to be at the school house aud- •
ttorium on business. The Seniors
were practicing and when we step-
ped inside the door, Vera yelled. "Put
’em out. Just look at ’em.” Now .
we don't know whether she meant
us. or whether that was part of the
play, but we aren’t going to take
any chances, you bet.
We presume Mr. Rogers thinks the
librarians are rather lazy In regard
to keeping the shelves neat but he
just doesn’t realize how much work
we have to do. He has assigned a
shelf to each librarian to keep clean.
Several of the Domestic Science
girls are ‘sporting’ new middies.
This is a result of their work in class.
Miss Blackert has informed the

the afternoon hereafter, instead of
in the morning as she has been do-
ing.
Ren bet ’treats’ the other day that
he’d never go with Margaret again
and lost. Now he wont ’treat’.
Come on Ren and be game. Isn’t
she worth it?
There was no orchestra practice
last week.
Mr. Rogers has organized a ten-
nis cub and the grounds are being
prepared. Several have already Join-
ed the club. Fifty cents is charged
for joining the club In order to buy
i material and pay expenses.
The next Lyceum number will be
held sometime this month.
All the girls belonging to the Glee
Club should come and practice each
time.
Miss Blackerts room is so slippery
that Mildred almost had a fall but
it looks nice and clean.
Monday (April the 15th) will be

The Memories
Buick Brings
U The name Buick brings memories of
beauty, luxurious comfort and a complete
motoring satisfaction that comes with the
realization of the fact that your choice of a
motor car has proven to be a wise one—a
feeling in connection with motoring not ex-
perienced by all motorists.
This feeling comes with the possession
of those things that lend charm to their pos-
8 session and bear the hall-mark of superiori-
S ty. Buick cars bring this feeling.
I
5 ^ Buick owners know this feeling. They
S know that regardless of price, there is no
g motor car that will give greater value.

THE HAPPY HOUR CLUB
Thursday April tho 4th the Happy
Hour Club met at the home of Mrs
Kate Smith. The entire club was
present with the exception of four
members. Roll call was responded
j to by "Our Patriotic Duty”. It was
, unanimous that on special patriotic
j duties now are to conserve in every-
way and also to help the Red Cross
[ in everyway possible. After the
1 business meeting we surprised our
hostess by giving her a handkerchief
shower, it being her birthday. She
received 18 handkerchiefs. She show-
ed her appreciation by making a lit-
tle speech and thanking the club.
After the shower a dainty lunch of
split bananas and strawberries, cake
and coffee was enjoyed by all and
as an extra all were given a piece
of the lovely birthday cake baked
by our hostess’ little daughter. Fran-
cis. It was planned for the club to
meet with Mrs. Jessie Critchfield
Wednesday p. m. April 10th. to sew
for the refugees, and everyone was
urged to be present Thursday, p. m.,
at the Red Cross rooms to help all
we can there. All departed at a
late hour wishing Mrs. Smith many
happy returns. We meet in two
weeks with Mrs. Phoebe Bringham.

Calomel salivates! It’s mercury.
Calomel aets like dynamite on a
sluggish liver. When calomel comes
into contact with sour bile it crashes
into it,causing cramping and nausea.
If you feel bilious, headachy, con-
stipated and all knocked out, just go
to your druggist and get a bottle of
Dodson’s Liver Tone for a few’ cents
which is a harmless vegetable sub-
stitute for dungerous calomel. Take
a spoonful aud if it doesn’t start
your liver and straighten you up
better and quicker than nasty calo-
mel and without making you sick,
you just go back and get your money.
1 f you take calomel today you’ll be
sick and nauseated tomorrow; be-
sides, it may salivate you. while if
vou take Dodson’s Liver Tone you
will wuke up feeling great, full of
ambition and ready for work or
play. It is harmless, pleasant and
safe to give to children; they like it.
