Better than the Old-

It is gentle, imported English
calomel, combined with Pepsin and

relieve indigestion, ^biliousness, bad

And best of all it does it at once—

There is a penetrating paragraph
along these lines in that altogether
delightful new life of Shelley.
The author is speaking of two men
who knew both Byron and Shelley
arid liked the latter much the better.
Says he: "Thus spoke the chorus in
unanimity, and did not perhaps per-
ceive that their adoration for* Shelley
fed and grew on his misfortune. We
are more inclined to love that which
we can pity than that which we must
admire. Man finds in the spectacle
of unmerited failure flattering argu
nients which explain his own ill luck.
The blend of admiration and compas-
sion is one of the surest recipes for
love. It would have needed much
humility of mind for Williams and
Trelawny to have the same affection

CATS LOSE LAST GAME
The Clifton College foot ball team
went down to defeat in its last game
of the 1924 season, when Randolph
College ran off with the long end of a
14 to 12 score hei^e on Thanksgiving
day. The teams proved to be evenly
matched and, not until the final whis-
tle was the outcome settled.
The visitors scored early in the first
period on successful plunges after a
completed long pass. Another effect-
ive drive was launched in the third
quarter when their second counter
came as a result of a completed pass
across the goal line. Both tries for
points were successful.
The “Fightin’ Cats” came through

the Cats played the ball in Randolph

pass, Harris to Pederson was com

twenty yard run, evaded a trio of

a touchdown. Again in the last period
the locals annexed a counter. This
