Washington has a new cafeteria
and, judging by the hungry hordes
that stand in line at the door, it Is
appreciated. The food is sold at cost
and no attempt is made to realize a
profit. This means that the students
can obtain a good lunch at a mod
erate price. It was found to be im
possible to accommodate all the pu
pils during the noon period, so a sys
tem was adopted by which pupils
having either the fourth or the fifth
period vacant go to the cafeteria dur
ing that time.

class Mary Dippert was elected class
prophet to take the place of Hollister

of seal to be placed on school adver
tising and printing, a contest has
been announced In which a substan
tial prize will be awarded the student

that in this way instruction may be
given so these boys may be added to
the regular band.

that it has been found necessary to
enlarge their quarters. At a meeting

"AS A MAN TH1NKETH SO HE IS" you listen to so much talk about BAD BUSINESS

There is a POWER WITHIN YOU that

that will turn robes of rags into

IRON IS THE MASTER PRIN

your blood that carries oxygen to
your brain. Without iron your brain

of iron in his blood. Although you may give
too men the same firearms or swords in a bat

decided advantage over a weak tired -out

It will not blacken or injure the teeth nor dis
