CURED AT A COST OF 23 CENTS.

“Eight years ago when we first moved to Mattoon, I was a great sufferer from indigestion and constipation,” writes Mrs. Robert Allison, Mattoon, 111. “1 had frequent headaches and dizzy spells, and there was a feeling like a heavy weight pressing on my stomach and chest all the time. I felt miserable. Every morsel of food distressed me. I could not rest at night and felt tired and worn out all the time. One bottle of Chamberlain’s Tablets cured me and I have since felt like a different person.”

MAY LIVE IN A BARRACKS

FRESHMAN MEN THREATENED WITH RETURN TO ARMY LIFE

ADVISED BY GOVERNMENT

That the freshman men of DePauw, regardless of fraternity affiliations, may be required to live in barracks when DePauw obtains an R. O. T. C. unit became a probability today when it was announced that the war department has recommended such action. Only the fact that the war department recommends and does not command barracks life for the freshmen makes the non-conformity of the college to the proposal possible, it is

said.

DePauw University was practically assured a reserve officers’ training corps, it is stated, when a telegram was recently received from the adjutant general of the war department authorizing the college officials to plan for the establishment of a unit here. Thfe war department has prom-

REVIVING ART

CLIMBING

Step* Taken to Conserve Fuel May Lead to Old Practice of Walking Upstairs.

There is a surviving story of the humorist identified as “the Danbury News man” that once lie went to visit a friend who spent his working hours on the top floor of a Chicago office building of ten stories or so. The elevator was not running, hut time was, so Mr. Bailey had no choice but to climb. lie reached the height out of breath, and sank panting into a chair in the friend s office with the expiring query, “Is

God in ?”

But now we have come upon days when conservation and war and the like turn the world topsy-turvy. As a matter of saving coal the “skipstop” plan is to be applied to elevators in the large office buildings. That is, they will skip the second floor. This for a start. If the pressure grows, we may find them skipping both second and third floors, and increasing the height to the first stop as the climbers become perfected with practice. The jest of the humorist becomes a serious matter. There are men of fifty who still ascend two steps at a time, though with most of them discretion would be the better part of valor. But

military science and tactics will he | dierc are not a few men of fifty who stationed at the university.

CHAMBERLAIN’S TABLETS.

When you are troubled with indigestion or constipation, take Chamberlain's Tablets. They strengthen the stomach and enable it to perform its functions naturally. Indigestion is usually accompanied by constipation and is aggravated by it. Cham* berlain's Tablets cause a gentle movement of the bowels, relieving the constipated condition.

MEN UNABLE TO GET WORK HERE

The refusal of the university authorities to use men as waiters in the dining room of Rector Hall has resulted in the loss of some twenty or more prospective students, it is alleged by university men who are familiar with the present employment and enrollment conditions existent at DePauw. More than a score of men who were anxious to enter DePauw this term are leaving school, it is said, because of their inability to obtain work in the university dining halls. The opinion that the university authorities are unintentionally committing a blunder in not giving the men desirous of work employment in Rector Hall is frequently expressed on the campus. The student employment problem in Greencastle has been aggravated this year, it is explained, by the return to work of a number of Greencastle men who during recent months have been in army training camps. This fact, coupled with the increase in the number of college men who are finding it necessary to provide their own expense money accounts for the unusual need for college co-operation in obtaining work. It has been customary in recent years, it is argued, for university men to be given the jobs of waiting table in Rector Hall. It was only "to provide service during the months when the men in the military unit could not wait table that waitresses were employed. Now that the men are able and in need 'of the work, it is only reasonable, it is said, to substitute the waiters for the waitresses. It is estimated that more than sev-enty-five college men have applied to the university for aid in finding work this term and not more than onethird that number have been materially aided by the authorities. The only remedy, it is contended, is to give the dining hall jobs back to the men in need of them if they remain in school.

COAL USED IN UNITED STATES.

During the last year the steel industry has used 40,000,000 tons of coal more than the previous year; our cotton mills, 4,000,000 tons; our railroads, 40,000,000 tons—while other industries bring the increase up to 100,000,000 tons. A single new munitions plant alone takes the entire output of two large mines. T he coal that is wasted in improper firing and other causes is the most important consideration. The damper in the stove, furnace or heater can help win the war; a door in your ashpit which leaks air, and soot in flues, pipes and chimney are all aiding the enemy. Weather strips, storm sash, ash sifters, careful firing, a curtailment of coal fuel just as much as possible, are all instruments of first aid to the great cause. The coal wasted in this country in the course of a year is said to amount to 600,000,000 tons.
