J.'ALLNUTT. “It is indeed a pleasure for me to recommend such a wonderful medi- cine as Miller's Herb Extract (for- merly called Herb Juice). It is the only satisfactory treatment I have ever found for stomach trouble and since using it I feel better in every way than I have for years. My mother advised me to try this medi- cine when I came to visit her several weeks ago, said she felt sure it would help me. But I had my doubts about it as I had tried so many dif- ferent things and received no real benefit. I was so to speak dead on my feet and every one said I looked it, but what else could be expected when my stomach was in such a condition that I was unable to eat the proper food to give me strength, everything I ate soured on the stom- ach, gas formed, stomach would swell and bloat and pained so I could hardly stand it. my nerves seemed to be on edge, I was restless during the day, wore myself out worrying and then when night came I was unable to sleep or rest. I suffered a great deal with head- aches, pains in the side and was always constipated, even strong laxatives failed to act as they should, most of the time they only upset me and I felt worse than before. That's where Miller's Herb Extract proved to be different, as the first few doses caused a quiet action and from then on I began to feel like a different person. In a few days that tired, aching feeling was gone, headaches away and I began to feel like going out, my appetite improved and to my great relief food no longer caused gas to form, pains in side left, I no longer felt nervous or restless and mother and others said I was like a different person. I could talk all day about this medi- cine and still feel as though I had ised it enough, and one thing sure, when I go back home Millwr’s Herb Extract (formerly called Herb Juice) goes with me as it will always be in my home as long as I am able to obtain a bottle.” Mrs. Allnutt, who gave this statement, formerly lived in ‘Washington for 21 years; when she gave this testimonial she was visit- ing her mother, Mrs. Laura Wilkins, at 3418 South Dakota avenue, city. Her permanent address is 4536 49th street, New York, N.

UNIVERSITY PLAGE INRECEIVER HANDS Des Moines Property May Be | Distrie Sold as Result of Stu- dent Hostilities. T B By the Associated Press. DES MOINES, Iowa, September 7.— ‘Beset by administration difficulties, stu- dent riots and court injunctions, Des Moines University came to the end of its career as a Baptist fundamentalist school today, when it was placed in the hands of a receiver. The school, acquired in June, 1927, by the Baptist Bible Union, reverted to the Boatmen’s National Bank of St. Louis by foreclosure of a mortgage of $203,000, and then it was given into recelvership of John Blanchard, Des Moines attorney, by Federal Judge Charles A. Dewys. The university and the Des Moines National Bank, as holder of annuity and endowment funds, were given one | year to redeem the property, which n({er that time would be offered for sale. Foreclosure and receivership came six days after Miss Edith Rebman, secre- tary of the board of trustees, an- | nounced abandonment of the school by { the Bible Union, through action of the trustees, headed by Dr. T. T. Shields. The latter and Miss Rebman were the center of attack when students staged a rock-and-egg-throwing demonstration | last May after the board had dismissed | the facuity. The trustees at that time closed the the school, but it was reopened by court | order so that graduates could receive | their degrees. OFFICERS ARE SHIFTED. Army Orders Relieve Col.

Before Fall Advance Latin Teachers Devise Formula to Aid ; Their Pupils in Studying Language Tt is quite customary for school teach- ers to tell students what to study. but 1t 18 too seldom that they advise the pupils in their charge just “how” to do it. However, the teachers of Latin in the t of Columbia public school sys- tem have devised a formula for the P study of that subject. In making public their suggestions Stephen E. Kramer, first assistant su- ge intendent of schools, in charge of igh schools, declares most of them are applicable to study in general. Here they are: ) Have a re{ulnr time for study. Let nothing interfere with it. This will be hard at first, but will grow steadily easier as you form a habit. “2. Have a regular place for study, a uiet room, not too warm; good light at e left, a straight chair and table, the ecet books, etc. “3. Sit straight and go at the work vigorously, with confidence and deter- mination, without lounging or wasting time., When actually tired open the window and exercise a moment. # ‘;nt.wst:dy ;ndependenuy. Do your ork, and use your own judgment, asking for help only when yui‘x can not g0 on without it. “5. Be sure of the assignment. In class write the assignment in a note- book, not on a scrap of paper or in the margin of your textbook. ne “g. Find an_interest in the work, even if it is only that of bettering your own score. 7. Concentrate your attention. You can train yourself to ignore distractions, to keep your thoughts on your work even when the door opens, or some one s _the room. “g, In memory work ‘search for asso- clations, connections of all types’ in order to help yourself remember facts. When you meet a new word, try to connect, it with some other Latin word or an English word; when you study a verb, group the forms that come from the same stem; compare & new use of the ablative with the uses that you know already. “9, Do mnot stop your memory work the minute you can give the material perfectly. Repeat it at least three times after that, and repeat it the next day. “10, Use all your senses in practicing the lianguage. Use eye, ear, vocal organs, and hand. ‘Write constantly. Pronounce aloud frequently when writ- ing or reading: become accustomed the sound of your voice uttering the re! language. !o“ll{n Che(‘;. your results. Test your work by the forms and the type sen- tences of the textbook. “12, In class recite silently with the pupil who is reciting aloud. ‘Follow the ball.'” THEATER SCHOOL TO OPEN SEPT. 23 New Department in Singing to Be Added to Voice Culture Curriculum. ‘The Theatre Arts School, 1726 M street, will be opened for the first semester of the regular school year September 23.

H, P. Sanborn, who left the school 8 year -50 for a period of work else- where. will return this year to succeed E. E. Darnall, who is leaving the faculty to enter the field of engineering. According to officials of the school, Eraerson Irstitute’s aim is culture in the lberal arts. The institution, they | point out, is slow to adopt innovations | because of its policy of adopting new principles or ideas only after they have been proven practical. The Emerson faculty, they say, is trained in universi- tles like Harvard University, Dartmouth and Maryland. where innovations are unlikely o replace the best things of to | cultural education, HUGUENOTS TO MEET.
