K. C. BANKER LECTURES
Thornton Cooke Favors New Federal Reserve System
That the new federal reserve system is a great improvement over former banking laws was the opinion expressed by Thornton Cooke, in his address before the banker public in Snow Hall Friday.
"The new system is being tried out under abnormal conditions and the banks are naturally pursuing a rather conservative course. This accounts for the fact that, with a single exception, the reserve banks has failed to make profits in excess of their expenses," said Mr. Cooke believes that they are following the wise course in not trying to expand too much at first, considering the conditions with which they have to contend.
Frank Stortz, who was a student on the Hill last year, was one of the men back for Company M inspection. Stortz has spent his time since last year in cement work at Concordia which is its home town. He says K. U. sure looks good to him, but the rush of work did not allow him time to renew his old acquaintances. He left Friday morning.

Houk's Barber Shop Fixtures Being Moved
The barber shop of Jack Houk, who is well known among University students, is in a turmoil today. The old chairs are being taken out and crated up to be sent back to the facade of the university building here and then and then onto a dray to be hauled to the new quarters; the barbers are doing double duty as tensorial artists and transfer men and Jack himself looks as if he could hold down a good job with one of the hauling companies of the town.
Work on the new room three doors north of the Varsity Theatre, in the ten hundred block on Massachusetts, with its own floor, a month and the newly-painted cream front, six new white enameled chairs, new lavatory and larger mirrors are all going to help Houks in the fur '100 percent efficiency."
Another barber has been employed and the new idea of having chairs on both sides of the shop is being followed in the interior arrangement. In some cases, the barber mirrors. A table for magazines and newspapers is to be installed later.
Jack says it was a good thing he had to move right now. If a larger renter had not come along, he would still have been a little afraid to change although his business—in the fashion industry—and gent advertising in the Kansan and backed up by satisfactory service—had warranted a move all along.
"My brother Harry has bought a half-interest and we are sure proud of the new place," said Mr. Houk this morning. "We want the boys to come in and look around, even if they don't get any work done. I am strong for the students and anything they do. Our damn is my best friend." I spend five dollars a week in advertising and get $20 a week more business. I call that a good investment. We'll be ready Wednesday morning sure."
Large Percentage of Student Ills Due to Inflammation of Throat
TONSILS MAKE TROUBLE
This issue of the Daily Kansan sets forth some of the activities of the School of Medicine at K. U.
Prof. H, P. Cady of the department of chemistry gave a lecture Saturday at 10 a.m.

Sixty-five hundred copies are printed and are sent to a special list of druggists, doctors, health workers, and researchers at University throughout the state.
Many Students Have Offending Organs Removed
It is a part of the Kansan's policy of trying to acquaint students and faculty with the work of other departments other than those in which they are engaged. Credit is largely due to Mildred Eppard, a graduate student in journalism, for planning, editing and arranging the material in this number.
Many of the students who have chronic sore throats or colds are suffering from diseased tonsils. This is the belief of Dr. John Sundwall, who says that while all sore throats do not necessarily point to an inflammation of those organs, a large perineal area may be the heads and throats of a large part of the student body are due directly to this cause.
The remedy for this evil lies not so much in the removal of the tonsils as in taking proper steps to prevent infection. Exposure to extreme temperatures or irritants leads generally to inflammation of some part of the throat. The remedy is either in wearing proper dress or spraying the throat carefully with an antiseptic solution, in order to kill the germs that may have become infected. In this way the contracting the disease is greatly lessened.
Many prefer to have the tonsils removed entirely. The practice of having tonsilis removed has become very popular. A recent discovered method for removing tonsil is better than formerly. The old method used was to spray the tonsil of the patient with a five per cent solution of cocoaine. After that a scissor-like instrument called a guillotine, restrained in place, was inserted into the patient's mouth. The ring of the instrument was passed over the tonsil, external pressure behind the angle of the jaw assisting in this manoeuvre. By the pressure of the thumb the projecting bone were removed by the sharp blade.
The new method has proved so successful with the medical profession (as well as the victims themselves) that rural physicians now treat confidently the most obstinate case. case.
As in the old method, the surgeon stands behind the patient's head in dealing with the right tonsil, and in front when operating upon the left. An instrument called a bistory is used, having a straight, blunt end, and the incision made by a piece of plaster wrapped around it. The incision is made from below upwards and the edge of the knife is kept outward rather than in, so as to avoid all risk of wounding the internal carotid which lies near the gland. The operation is performed quickly and if the tosalsis are properly anesthetized there is practically no pain during the re-treatment but a bigger cover from the effects than do young children.
Several of the students in the University have had their tonsils removed this semester. H. A. Lorenz, medical instructor, is just recovering.
KANSAS WINS AND LOSES
IN TRIANGULAR DEBATE

BLACK HELMETS TO HAVE
BIG HOME-COMING DANCE
The biggest dancing party ever attempted by a K. U. class society is to be given by The Order of the Black Helmet at F. A. U. hall on the evening of April 1. The active members of the sophomore organization have invited their alumni in hopes that the event may be together meeting for all who have survived the ordeals of the Order.
A number of freshmen and other non-members have been invited and it is expected that seventy-five or one hundred couples will be present.
The Black Helmet society was organized in 1911. Originally its membership came from the incoming sophomore class, two of whom must not have been, at the time of their pledging to the society, members or pledges of a national fraternity. Because of the increased number of national fraternal affiliates, voluntary membership of the sophomore organization has been increased to twenty-one.

HENRY BEARDLEY TELLS
ABOUT PLACE OF BIBLE
"Men and women are just beginning to incorporate the great teachings of Jesus Christ in all activities of life," said Henry Bidley, baskeeper, exclamationist and author on "The Bible—Its Place and Its Influence." Sunday afternoon in Fraser Hall. He declared that society is at the threshold of our practical application in political, industrial and economic life. Mr. Bidley noted that a corporation or a public utility which exercised the right of a franchise, because of the service that it promised to render society, was in its ultimate analysis based on the teachings of Jesus Christ. The reason for his finding, he said, is in fact that we have Christian individuals, but not a Christian civilization.
The vital points of the lecture were that the fundamental law of Christianity is that of service, and that mankind is just beginning to translate that great law into everyday life.
