The Bailey Rubber Glove Cleaner sold at Raymond's drug store puts the spots on soiled kid gloves "out of sight." Even white kid slippers are said to regain their pristine glory.
It is unnecessary to lift the scalp to properly cleanse it. The use of Sprath Dog Soap is all one needs to do the work nicely. Funny, isn't it, for Raymond to recommend dog soap for that purpose. But we know it's all right.

Will C. Atchison, '98, vice-president of the State Oratorical Association, went to Topeka last week to attend a meeting of the executive committee of that association. Preliminary arrangements were made for the state contest which will occur Feb. 21st. The University was apportioned one hundred and fifty seats in the parquet and dress circle and two boxes at the opera house where the contest will be held. The University will furnish part of the music for the occasion. There seems to be a renewal of interest in oratory in all the colleges of the association and everything indicatas that the contest will be one of the most successful of recent years.
