"Boom" towns In America are not
the only places In which land values
Increase. A London newspaper says
that within thirty years the value of
the land in London proper has increas
ed from a hundred and sixty-eight mil
lion pounds to four hundred and eight
een million,' or two and a half times.
The most valuable land Is in the neigh
borhood of the Bank of England, where
it has been sold at the rate of three
million two hundred and fifty thousand
pounds an acre almost three hundred
and seventy-five dollars a square foot.
In ten years the number of students
In certain great colleges of the country
has Increased from thirty-eight thous
and to sixty-two thousand five hundred
C5 per cent The ten universities that
have the largest attendance include
.four institutions in Eastern States and
six in Western and middle Western
States. A competent authority points
out that the attendance is growing fas
ter than the population, that Western
Institutions are growing faster than
Eastern, that science and engineering
courses are forging ahead of the old
courses in arts, that the number of wo
men students is increasing faster than
the number of men. The same author
ity predicts that in five years some one
of the Western universities, with state
pride behind it, -will take the lead in
point of numbers over Harvard, which
Is and has been the largest.
Hazing, largely stamped out in most
American Institutions of learning, has
returned with a Tengeanoe to make,
cowards of freshmen and brutes of
sophomores. The latest outbreak la tits
worst on record, Coleglans are men
lu the commission of misdeeds and
boys when about to be puutahed for
them. The law of the land Is some
thing to t despised and outraged by
them at every turn ttutll brought facs
to face with its majesty, when they
are only too ready to take advantage
of their legal Infancy to escape Its
penalties, Hating Is Inevitably
breach of the law of the laud. To cuter
a freshman's room unbidden for the
commission of an assault upon him 1s
urg!ary. Tho Intent to do hlra bodily
harm, as shown by the ordinary tricks
played by sophomores. Is punishable
by fine and Imprisonment To lock
him up is false Imprisonment, another
felony. It U the business, the sworn
duty, of every officer of the law In col
lege towns to see that no hating takes
place. A few well-directed words from
fathers, who should reallxe that youth
Is the time In which respect for the
law should be taught, will do much to
bring these haters to a reallxatiou of
their real place la the world. To lie,
to steal, to assault and batter, to kid
nap, t commit burglary, to be guilty
of malicious mischief are not what the
manly man regards as Jests, even In
bis own sons.
It is usually a waste of time to an
tagonise' a popular fad and It Is con
sequently not worth while to make an
onslaught upon college football That
sport If It deserves the designation,
may be unnecessarily brutal, but peo
ple are In love with It This is shown
by the increasing crowds that attend
the games. The American populace,
like the Roman populace, has a fancy
for an admixture of. blood with Its
athletic entertainments. Not only the
football field but the pugilistic arena
shows the extent of this predilection.
So nothing is likely to be accomplished
by criticising college football upon the
score of its brutality. Something may
be said, however, In favor of modify
ing Its scope so as to bring it Into the
same class as other college sports in
other words, to make It an Incident of
collegiate life iustead of .one of the
principal factors. This is the view of
the matter which Is taken by many col
lege beads and notably by President
Benjamin Ide Wheeler of the Univers
ity of California. The idea Is that
football must not be permitted to over
shadow or even to Interfere wjth the
serious work of academic life. It must
be relegated to the category of ordi
nary athletics Instead of being made
the chief business of the students who
participate In It It Is true, as Pres
Went Wheeler declares, that the game
in its proper form and in its proper
relations is too good to be abandoned
altogether. The thing to do Is to change
Its nature, to eliminate highly special
ized training and costly equipment
In abort to make it clear that the
young men who participate iu the
game are students first atd football
players Incidentally, Instead of. foot
ball experts primarily and students If
there happens to be time for study.
This Is certainly a reform which Is
practicable even though the elimina
tion of brutality may be regarded as
impracticable. President Wheeler
calls attention to another objectionable
feature of football, but it is one which
Is common to many other forms of ath
letics. He complains that the sport Is
confined to a small number of players,
while the great part of the student
body Is relegated to the bleachers or
behind the fence. This is true, but
it is also true of college boating and
of collego baseball. In the very iui
ture of things these and similar sports
can not be participated in by the en
tire body of students. In this respect
football Is no worse than Its nthletlc
contemporaries. The Indictment
against football, in short is aside
from Its brutality that it usurps a
dominant position in college life, where
as it is or it ought to be a mere ath
letic incident. This can readily be cor
rected if the college authorities make
up their minds to do it. College foot
ball may be mended, but it can not be
ended. It has acquired too high a
popularity for that.
- The Roar Waa Inaudible.
Travelers from the United States, af
ter a visit to England and the Con
tinent, are usually willing to acknowl
edge that there is a shrill quality In
the voices of American women. The
New York Tribune tells of a party of
tourists who were on their way to
visit a famous waterfall, when the
power of American vocal organs was
well illustrated.
For two hours they ascended the
quiet pleasant road.
"We are nearly there now," the
guide said at last, and with, revived
spirits the tourists pressed on.
"How much farther, guide?" asked,
a little later, a young man whoso boots
were tight. '
"Only a short distance, sir," was the
answer. "As soon as the ladles stop
talking you will hear the roar."
When a new fellow comes to town,
and doesn't do very well, people soon
begin to inquire: 'Where did that
fellow come fromT'

" The black flag- Is an emblem of horror and dread. When it is hoisted

erything must be destroyed. Helpless women and children, as well as opjxmk
injj soldiers, meet the same fate, and a trail of desolation, eulTcring and
death is left behind. Contagious Blood Poison is the black flajr of the great
army of disease. This vile disorder is kuown as the blackest and most hide

or how Innocently the disease is contracted, when this awful virus enters the
circulation the hideous, hateful and humiliating symptoms begin to appear,
and the sufferer fcclg that his very presence is polluting and contaminating.
Usually the first sign of the disease is a little sore or ulcer, but as the blood
becomes more deeply poisoned the .severer symptoms are manifested, ths
mouth and throat ulcerate, the glands in the groins swell, a red rash breaks
out on the body, the hair and eyebrows come out, and often the body is cov
ered with copper-colored spots, pustular eruptions and sores. In its worst
stages the disease affects the nerves, attacks the bones and sometimes cause
tumors to form on the brain, produc
ing insanity and death. Not only
those who contract the poison suffer,
but unless the virus is driven from
the blood the awful taint is handed
down to offspring, and they are its
innocent victims. Blood Poison is in
deed a "black flag." Mercury and
Potash, so often used, never can cure
the trouble. These minerals merely
drive the symptoms away for awhile

and when they ere left off it returns

hot only fails to cure blood poison
but eats out the delicate lining of the
stomach and bowels, produces chronic dyspepsia, loosens the teeth and fre.
quently causes mercurial rheumatism to add to the patient suffering.
