MKINLEY GIVES FIRST DIPLOMAS Fifty-Nine Students Graduate at Initial Commencement in " New High School. Contrasting sentiments mingled at McKinley High School’s midyear gradu- ation of 59 of its students last night when the traditional note of farewell ranked equnl with that of home- coming. Woodward, former as- sistant pnnclpll of McKinley, who now is the principal of the new Gordon Junior High School, came back to the school at the invitation of the gradu- class to deliver the commence- ment address. Opéned by a stirring overture exe- cuted by the Tech Symphony Orches- tra, under the direction of Dore Wal- ten, faculty leader, the graduation last night constituted the first commence- ment ceremony to be held in the new McKinley High School Building. Making the most of their initial oppor- tunity to conduct such a function in an adequate auditorium of their own, McKinley's faculty and students had made elaborate preparations, which were reflected in the carefully lighted and furnished stage and in the entry of the graduates. The graduates filed into the audi- Sorium from each side of the rear to take their places in a glow of amber lights upon the stage. The 48 boys, clad in blue suits and wearing identical ties and pink carnations in the lapels, formed a stalwart background for the white-dressed 13 girls who wore pink bouguets upon their left shoulders. Pronounced Invocation. Rev, R. Y. Nicholson, pastor of the Rhode Island Avenue Methodist Prot- estant Church, pronounced the invoca- tion at the opening of the exercises, pfter whlch Mr. Woodward spoke to the 'h.ktnghupheeonthesldeolnhe stage where, as he explained, he could “talk to these people who Imnllhem here,” Mr. Woodward's bore nom nr the formal -mbude generally | Bernard Aat by commencement “speakers. !nmnd. he chatted with the graduates about old times; of t.he days he had advised them, disciplin t.hm worked with them and pia during the years of their course re- ceding his departure from the scl at the conclusion of year last June. He reviewed the tradi- tions of “Tech” and urged the gradu- ates to uphold those traditions in their future lives in schools of higher learn- ing, the professions, business or what- ever field they may enter. Isaac Gans, member of the Board of Education, presided over the exercises. Charles M. Wolfe delivered the valedic- tory and Miss Jessie Coope of the fac- ulty announced the winners of awards.

DOCTORS ENCOURAGED BY FOCH’S CONDITION Marshal, After Slight Relapse, Shows Satisfactory Progress, Physicians Report. By the Assoclated Press. PARIS, February 1.—Physicians at- tending Marshal Ferdinand Foch this morning announced that his condition, after a slight relapse yesterday, was “quite satisfactory.” Dr. Hlitbboyer said that the marshal had merely had a touch of grippe and that his lungs had not been affected. “In fact,” he added, “when the mar- shal recovers this illness his health will be better than it has been for a year.” Both he and Dr. Daveniere seemed annoyed that their yesterday's bulletin, indicating a slight relapse in the mar- shal's condition, had been taken so se- riously by the public. They emphasized that ordering him back to bed has been merely precautionary. When they saw how yesterday’s phrase, “slight pul- monary congestion” had been inter- preted by the newspapers they withheld copies from Marshal Foch for fear he would get the idea they were concealing something from him.

Dr. Caldwell watched the re- sults of constipation for 47 years, and believed that no matter how careful people are of their health, diet and exercise, constipation will occur from time to time re- gardless of how much one tries to avoid it. Of next importance, then, is how to treat it when it |comes. Dr. Caldwell always was |in favor of getting as close to nature as possible, hence his <remedy for constipation, known |as Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsln, |is a mild vegetable compound. I can not harm the most delicate |system and is not a habit-form- \ing preparation. Syrup Pepsin |is pleasant-tasting, and young- |sters love it. It does not gripe. | Thousands of mothers have writ- ten us to that effect. Dr. Caldwell did not approve of drastic physics and purges. He |did not believe they were good |for human beings to put into | their system. In a practice of 47 |years he never saw any reason for their use when a medicine |like Syrup Pepsin will empty the bowels just as promptly, more ‘cleanly and gently without grip- |ing and harm to the system. Keep free from constipation! It robs your strength, hardens your arteries and brings on pre- mature old age. Do not let a day g0 by without a howel movement. What Dr. Caldwell Learned in 47 Years Practice CESNREI U 3. Cuetnrcze. wd AT AGE 83 Do not sit and hope, but go to a druggist and get one of the gen- erous bottles of Dr. Caldwell’s ‘ Syrup Pepsin. Take the pro] dose that night and by mo: g you will feel like a different per- son. Use for yourself and mem- bers of the family in constipa- tion, biliousness, sour and crampy stomach, bad breath, no appetite, headaches and to break up fevers and colds. Headline News for Men!
