MENTAL EXERCISE IS GOOD FOR BODY, TOO
Prof. Blackmar Says Genera Health Is Benefited by Brain Labor
In speaking of mental fatigue this morning, Dr. F. W. Blackmar, dean of the graduate school and professor of sociology said that he entirely agreed with Dr. Charles K. Mills, professor of neurology in the University of Pennsylvania, in the statement that he made yesterday that mere brain work doesn't hurt.
"I believe that mental exercise is just as essential to health if taken under rational conditions as is physical exercise," continued Professor Blackmar. "If study could be carried on under conditions where there is plenty of oxygen the student would be just as healthy as the athlete.
"Take two persons for instance. One who puts in all his time exercising physically and the other studying in the open air. The student will, of course, be strong mentally and the athlete, physically, but as far as power of resisting disease would be as great in the student as in the athlete.
"We have always heard of the poor pale, emaciated book-worm. Nothing could be more erroneous. I believe that the student who works hard and takes no other exercise except walking, and breathes plenty of oxygen, will be more able to withstand the exigencies of ordinary business life than the physical cultist. The physical cultist is likely to discontinue his exercises and in this way be worse off than if he had not exercised."

Patron's Day at Rosedale By Warren Clements
An idea of the musical importance of "Madame Sherry" may be obtained from the fact that it requires four prima donnas to do justice to its musical score. The principal vocal part is that of Yvonne Sherry, a little convent girl who suddenly finds herself in the midst of life's gaieties and loses her heart to the first likely young man she meets. Then there is the part of Katherine, the housekeeper, to whose role belongs the comic numbers of the piece. Next in importance is the role of Lulu, the aesthetic dancer, who first introduces the audience to those haunting strains, "Ev'ry Little Movement Has a Meaning All Its Own," and then is there the part of Pepita, the fiery Spanish girl who carries her mother's dagger in her garter. "Madame Sherry" will be presented here Saturday April 13th. —Adv.

TO STUDY RESULTS OF ACETANELID
Dean Sayre Says Too Much
The board of health of Kansas has begun an investigation of Acetanelid and the dangerous results that might come from continued use of the drug.
sumed.
Of the Drug is Con-
"Too much acetaniloid is consumed," said Dean Sayre. "The consumer is not aware of the dangerous properties of the drug, and are liable to bring injuries upon themselves from its indiscriminate use."
Dean Sayre says that the fault of its use lies mainly with a certain class of prescribers and that many of these are also those who have shown a view concerning the nature of atrial fluid.
"Physicians and pharmacists are not alone to blame," continued Dean Sayre. "The blame rests very largely with the unthinking public who know nothing of the definite action of the remedial agents, and with whom it is unsafe to entrust administration of potent remedies by self-medication."
*Acotanilide is not a habit producing drug, but is used by many because it has been recommended by a friend and its use found to be very satisfactory. However, and after it has been used for some time the heart is finally overcome.
The board of health is attempting a missionary work along the line of drug education. What it will do in all probability when its investigations are completed, will be put before the people the exact facts, and ask them to co-operate in checking any further danger to public health, and to remedy as far as practicable, any harm now found to be in existence."
