STREET SIGNS FOR
HEIGHTS DELAYED.
Some of the citizens of the Heights
have been wondering why the street
signs ordered some time ago have not
arrived. We have been informed that
there is an unavoidable delay with the
factory, and that they will be hen
soon. 'Pile man informs us that he will
place them up just as soon as they
arrive.
CLEAN SPORT AND THE FORT
WORTH MEDICS.
Polytechnic is to be complimented
always on the clean athletics which
she has always played. She has never
stood for anything else and never will,
so long as the banner of a Christian
institution floats from her flagstaff.
But you are saying already what has
that to do with the subject? Just this
Some gentlemen of Fort Worth, who
have at heart clean sport among Fort
Worth’s institutions of learning, were
kind enough to phone out to Polytech-
nic Thursday evening that Fort Worth
Medical students claiming to be a part
and parcel of Fort Worth University,
after being beaten iti the football game
in order to vent their spleen on some
one, had bought up a considerable
quantity of rotten eggs which in con-
nection with some chemicals partaking
of their own virus, they intended using
on any persons who should attempt
to make any demonstrations on the
streets of the city for Polytechnic.
Happily they did not get to turn loose
any of their stench and consequently
it still remains in their hands, where
it properly belongs.
'Phis is not mere hearsay, but the in -
formation came from reliable parties
who have the right regard for clean
sport even among medical students,
where, sorry to say, sometimes seems
to be lacking.
The question is this: Does Fort
Worth University stand for this kind
of spoil among her students? We
would rather not think so, and call
upon her to repudiate and discourage
such procedure to such an extent that
even her medical students will be com-
pelled to assume higher standards of
sportmansliip than hurling rotten eggs
at men who have defeated them with
clean playing.
It’s up to you.

Already $800,00 have been paid on the
elegant pews for the new church and
they hope in a short while to be able
to liquidate the debt. The women of
the Polytechnic Church raised and
paid in during the past year, $1997.00.
Now if you are a member get under
the burden and help to raise it. If
you are not a member, lend a helping
hand and help to make this bazaar ,t
success.
Besides appropriate gifts of all
kinds, there will be quite a number of
special features which will be of inter
est to all ages and classes. First, there
will be a baby show which you cannot
afford to miss, for we hope to have
every baby in Polytechnic City, tinder
two years, registered in this depart
ment, and there will be two prizes;
one for the prettiest baby under one
y.*ar, and another for the prettiest one
between one year and two and a half
years. Then there will be a doll parade
for the little girls from 0 to 12 years
of age. To the girl having the pret
tiest display will lie given a beautiful
prize which may be seen in Bradford
Bros.’ show window.
There will be an .interesting Art
Exhibit consisting of a collection of the
most beautiful articles available. \lso
dolls, dressed or undressed, or dresses
and doll furnishings of all kinds; (lain
ty hand made handkerchiefs, lovely
comforts for the winter nights, toys,
games, etc. Fruit cakes for Christmas,
delicious candies made by rare recipes;
then there will be refreshments and
hot drinks of various kinds.
There will be a collection of pictures
—reproductions from the World’s
Masterpieces on sale; also, subscrip-
tions for the Ladies’ Home Journal
will be taken.
Be sure to attend even if you do not
expect to make purchases; you will
be more than repaid for the time you
spend. Remember the date and place!

A LETTER HOME.
The following letter was accidentally
dropped on the way to the postoffice,
and falling into the hands of the staff
reporter, is printed with the consent of
the writer:

and 18 in favor of the other collig. Sum
of the boys who play said it wuz flukes
what made the other fellers win the
game, and 1 gess it must a ben. We
shore did bait to lose it tho.
Ma, you shod of herd us yell at the
game. It shore is a purty site to see
the boys and girls yell and fly them

We shore did have a jim dandy of

shun means ma. We ■-•aid a long time

CAN A COLLEGE MAN AFFORD
TO USE TOBACCO?
“Among the properties of tobacco
smoke arc:
*1, Free carbon. It is this that set
ties on the back of the throat and the
bronchial tubes, blackening and irri-
tating them.
2. Ammonia. It is this that causes
the dryness of the smoker’s tongue and
throat, which tempts so many to the
use of alcoholic drinks.
3. Carbonic acid, to which is due
the headaches, lassitude, and sleepiness
that follows prolonged smoking.
4. Oil of Tobacco. This contains
three substances: a volatile one, which
causes the disagreeable smell that so
clings to the clothing of smokers; a
bitter extract, to which is mainly due
the nauseous taste of tobacco and its
power as an emetic; and nicotine, a
powerful poison which gives rise to
the tremor, palpitation, and paralysis
that so often afflicts excessive smokers.
“All must acknowledge that tobacco
is utterly useless to one in a normal
state of health; that nature seems to
have sought to guard against its use
l*v the intense depression and sickness
which il almost invariably causes at
first.”—Dr. Tarbell.
A large part of the above may he said
in regard to the chewing of tobacco.

We cannot say it is healthful, it must
be nnhealthful.
W e cannot say it is clean, it must be
filthy.
W e cannot say it is helpful, it must
be harmful.
W e cannot say it is right, it must be
wrong. To the honest and courageous
man we again ask the question "Can a
college man afford to use tobacco?”
