"Beware of Fat- Reducing
Preparations," He
Declares.
"Beware of fat-reducing prepara-
tions" was one of the warnings issued
by Bill Jackson in a lecture on Quack
Medicines given in Room 314 of the
Chemistry Building at 5 p.m. Wednes-
day,
"One of the most publicized of these
frauds is the well-known Kruschen
Salts, which when analyzed was found
to consist almost wholly of Epsom
salts. Aside from the outrageous price
demanded for such preparations in
view of the actual cost of the ingredi-
ents, the use of them is highly inad-
visable; it requires no learned physi-
cian to realize that two doses of Ep-
som salts each day will cause a per-
son to reduce; starving oneself will
produce identical results at a lower
cost," said Mr. Jackson.
In his talk Mr. Jackson described a
number of well-known preparations
which were either harmfful to the
user or else entirely incapable of ac-
complishing the advertised results.
Hair restorers, hair-dyes, and depil-
atories are often very harmful. A
well-known hair remover on the mar-
ket was found to contain thallium, a
recognized rat poison. A case is on
record in which a woman applied a
certain depilatory to her arms, and not
only failed to remove the hair there
but somehow lost most*, of 'the hair
from her head.
A large number ot disinfectants sold
today arc entirely useless. One of
the favorite family antiseptics is mer-
curochrome, used chiefly because it
does not* burn. While physicians have
found that a fresh ten per cent solu-
tion of mercurochromc in alcohol is
a good antiseptic for some purposes,
the ordinary two per cent solution that
is sold is nothing more than a good
dye* Apparently! the only casualties
resulting among the bacteria on which
this material was tested were due to
drowning!
This lecture was the second of a
series of student lectures sponsored
by the Rice Chapter of Phi Lambda
Upsilon, one of which is to be given
each Wednesday afternoon by a mem-
ber of the chapter. The next talk will
be delivered by Karl C. ten Brink on
the topjc "The Next 100 Years of
Chemistry," in room 314 of the Chem-
istry Building'.
Mr. Jackson concluded his talk with
the warning not to take for granted
the advertisements given on the label
of a product. While the Pure Food
and Drtig Law requires that no mis-
representation be stated on the label,
the unscrupulous manufacturer has
many ways of evading the law.
Patent medicines give peopfc the
impression that they can be their own
physicians, said Mr. Jackson; but ev->
eryone should remember that for med-
ical advice or treatment, the advice of
a good physician is still the safest and
wisest course to seek.
A raving lunatic was on the loose in
South Hall Saturday night. Allow-
ing his anarchic tendencies to come to
the front, he scattered some sort of
acid crystals with a super triple stink
bomb effect on the second floor and
in the Mess Hall, left a note on. the
door of room 220, formerly inhabited
by Weldon Cabaniss, who is now sec-
retary of the Alumni Association, and
departed happy,
"Memories of Stinkfoot, maniac of
'29. See Cabaniss," read the note.
And dorm boys pondered the author
amid the odoriferousness of thei:
Sunday dinner. Neither Cabaniss nor
Mr. Davis nor Jack Bell, however, can
state defnitely Who the culprit was.
Possibilities are graduates in Dallas,
Corpus Christ!, or the army. Or since
the note was written on a large piece
of cardboard with very feminine lip-
stick, the guilty man may have been

and these values are now regarded
as the most exact available, it is not

'To Be Held April 25
At River Oaks Club
A semi-formal affair, with spring
and summer clothes in full swing,
the EBLS-Pre-Law dance will be held
April 25 at" River Oaks Country Club.
Benny Paskowitz and his orchestra

Frank Smith, chairman, Eugene
Sisk, and Jack Hbrton compose the

Amid wild cheering which resounded
exuberantly from wall to wall, thou-
sands of freshmen yesterday, the
nineteenth of September, 2000 A.D.,
streamed into the huge general as-
sembly hall, built in 1975, to receive
their annual welcome from the sopho-
mores.
"A cordial greefiing, my worthy
friends!" were the first words of John
Smith, president of the sophomore
class, who made the opening address.
Smith is well known as a student of
ancient literary expressions,
Smith's opening sentence was greet-
iCd with loud applause by the assem-
bled freshmen. "It gives me great
pleasure," Smith continued, "to wel-
come you today oh behalf of the
sophomore class, the Administration,
and the mathematics department."
With cries of "That's the right an-
gle," and "Infinitely correct." the au-
dience demonstrated its approbation.
"In conclusion," Smith concluded,
"I say that we feel sure that you will
carry on the traditions of the Insti-
tute and make for yourselves a repu-
tatibn of which Rice can be proud. We
want you to feel at home, to be one
of us, to step Immediately into the
