For civilization follows the sun, and just as Kaslern collc'Cis have followed the leadership of Caiubridde and Oxford; so Western, eollejjes will, one of these days, follow the leadership of Harvard and Yale. .' ',. t . IT IS, as Mr. Martin says, an inevitable part of the process of Ki'iiwiiiK up.1 Mut f 1 in t is precisely the point ; when football is concerned, we don't like to see Our colleges (trow up. Not be cause we prefer the professional to the amateur spirit, nor lie cause we particularly condemn the more o histicated attitude of tile Kust, but because we prefer no "attitude' at all. And that is fundamentally the Western eollexc spirit, "NO ATTITl'lJB" at all. They refuse to prow up, they refuse to adopt, an attitude, they remain just boys, natural boys, with that eagerness of heart, and unbridled enthusiasm which is the essential spirit of Youth. They DO take the (tame more scriouly. Hut Youth always takes thiniis more seriously. They DO want to win, they DON'T want to lose, victory sends them into a war dance; defeat, plunnes them into inexpressible kIuoiii .' Foolish, ol'iourse. And yet we have a pet theory reiardiiur it, which roughly speaking is this: : 4 NATIONS (trow up, just as individuals crow up, and, while' sii-'h crowth represents a if tl ill, it also involves a loss, Some; of us shed a tear when the youth of an individual departs well, WH shed a tear when the youth of a nation departs.

S. A., iik compared with llu; West. When tho Ouhc of Wellington suit! Waterloo whs won on tin football ficltl otKtoii, he stated h very profound truth. So while wo don't deny that. Mr.. Martin is eorreet, when he declares the West is superior to the Kast. in football, because it takes the name more seriously, we don't nyree with him when he main tains the West should ileploru the fact. . ON TtJK contrary, we feel the fact should be viewed with pride and self satisfaction. Kor it nIhiws Hie YVesL hasn't urown up, that it retains the. spirit of Youth, that it possesses that excessive physical vitality which has no patieive with alti tudes, hut is concentrated upon winning tiaines. And what is tho essential spirit behind winning games? The spirit of achievement, of eomptcst and of progress.

QUCNTIOXS AND AXKWFJtS i Why So Much Goiter? Goiter seems very prevalent among girls and young women In this section (northern Illinois). Is it because of our lake water or climate? Is there anything one) can do to avoid getting goiter.'? (P.H.D.) 1 - . Answer. To the best . of our knowledge It is due td deficiency of lodln In the food and water, and perhaps in the air of the region. Vou may easily make sure of a proper iodln ration by adopting for household use lodled salt Instead of ordinary salt. Besides, I think most of us should take a nip of ordinary tincture of iodln once p. week or so one drop of tincture of lodin in a glassful or more of water. It Is well for people living in a region where goiter is preva lent, as it Is In the middle western Great Lakes region, to include in the dietary liberal amounts of fresh sea food (fish or shellfish) the market affords, as well as canned salmon, which retains a considerable part of the iodin in the fresh fish. Kcstraiiiing Father Time I felt the prescription for pre venting hair turning gray worked with me as long as I would work with it, but I long since gave It up. Mrs. , however, has kept it utj and still Is a firm believer in It a merits. I pay $2.12 every few weeks for a fresh bottle for her. When she slips and Father Time shows his hand, she puts in a couple of hours of steady plucking, and a return to the bot'.le, and then blooms forth as a ycung girl. (C.M.H.) Answer. The prescription re ferred to Is one given by a Wash ington skin and scalp specialist to prevent graying of the hair. Carbon dtsulphide 50.00 Precipitated sulphur 2.00 , Carbon tetrachloride 10.00 Direction: Kr.b on scalp with cotton two nif.hts a week. The figures are for grams or cubic centimeters. Or for spoonfuls or drams or whatever mcusure you like. I suggest that persons ' with black or nark brovn hair may find our homely old Iron and Tea help ful to use either with the above formula or without, for. darkening gray hair. Dissolve a lump of cop- penis (iron sulphate) the size of a chestnut (about a teaspoontul) in a pint or ordinary bluck (Japan) t-'fi, nnd moisten the graying hair with It every day tilt you get the effect of eternal youth.
