T h r ee strangers attempted to secure admis sion through the wrong door and caused a slight disturbance while Miss Miller was speaking. But since no M. A.

An editorial in the Detroit Free Press of April 17 discusses at some length the propositions of M r. Quinn, a labor leader from Chicago, in which he is willing to work 10 years for a farmer providing at the end of that time he is given a 40- acre farm. Mr. Quinn believes that the ownership of land is essential to prosperity and he seems to insinuate that anybody can farm. T he edi torial concludes as follows: the to make a living Mr. Quinn, however, has probably underestimated the strenuousness of the farmer's life. T h e re is a pre vailing belief among laboring men of cities that it is easy to be a successful farmer if the plutocrats will only let you get hold of the it re land. As a matter of fact, quires much less brain and much less industry to gain a comfortable living in the city than in the country. A ny man that has strength and in telligence enough to swing a pick in can manage town. It requires brains and skill to make a living on a farm. T he necessities of farm far more mental capacity and alertness life. the necessities of city than Most ordinarily successful city folk, if they were transferred to the coun try, would starve, or drag out a mis erable existence. Before Mr. Quinn decides to exchange the simple life of the labor leader for the compli cated life of the farm, he will do to determine whether he is well really capable of being a farmer. To order a strike is simple business; farm. but it takes ability to order a life demand ALUMNI. in W i th '67. Isaac E. Barnum recently died in Denver, Colorado, from an attack of pleuro-pneumonia. He was born in P aw P a w, Michigan, May 19, 1842. He entered M. A. C. in "1863, but left at the end of the year to en list the United States navy.

Department of Agriculture, will have charge of the botanic garden at the St. Louis Exposition. He is staying at the home of Mrs. Oscar Clute. Prof. Wheeler is one of the foremost systematic botanists in the United States, and has a host of friends at M. A. C. and among the alumni, so many of whom had the pleasure of being in his classes. '95- Clay Tallman, a senior law at the University, visited his classmate, G. Masselink, and called on friends at M. A. C. last Saturday and Sunday. Mr. Tallman is especially interested in law as applied to mining and has written a thesis on the rights of incidental veins. He will probably locate in some western state this fall. '96. R. E.

Anderson, Johnson and Gardner, the ques upheld the affirmative of tion, "Resolved, T h at the limitations placed on the suffrage in the state of Mississippi by the constitution prom ulgated in 1890, and in effect J a n u ary 1, 1892, are legally and morally justifiable." T he Normal debaters were Miss Mabel G. Miller, M r. R oy Herald, and M r. Robert Rein- hold. T he principal limitations re ferred to were payment of taxes, in tax, read cluding a two-dollar poll ing or interpreting any section of the two-year residence in the state and one year in the electoral district. state constitution, a T he affirmative side described the condition in the south as a result of ignorant voting, showed the neces sity for a change, outlined the pro posed remedy, discussed the remedy itself in detail and finally reviewed the results accomplished in the south under the new standard. T he negative side, armed with a lawyer's reference library, proceeded to show the unconstitutionality of the Mississippi Constitution, claimed that the law was not justly applied and that it gave too much power to a few persons. Moreover, the south had promised the N e g ro representa tion and was now depriving him of that right. T he moral side, natur ally the stronger side of the ques tion, was practically neglected. In the face of a pronunciamento by the supreme court favorable to the con stitutionality of the restrictions, it seemed the Normal debaters should make the legal phase their main point. strange why T he affirmative in rebuttal showed that ignorant whites were excluded as well as ignorant blacks. T he legal side was touched up and the understanding clause defended. A resume of the arguments of the side closed the debate. T he Normal debaters had done a great deal of work but showed lack of form and absence of team work. Their rebuttal was quite annimated but they were unable to successfully handle the situation. T he M. A. C. team was more mature, better train ed, had full command of the situa tion, took tenable ground and not throughout once faltered or halted the contest. T h ey worked as a unit and sacrificed individual glory to effective co-operation. T h ey were superior to the normal team in every respect. T he judges were H o n. J. B.

T he weight of a package varies from 10 ounces to two pounds. T he price varies from 10 to 20 cents per pack in no age, the lighter ones being case the lowest in price per package. Table II gives the analysis of each compound as to per cent of moisture, crude protein, carbohydrates, fats, crude fiber and ash. T he fuel value in calories is also given. Table I II gives the soluble and insoluble per centages. starch varies from 17^59 Per c e n' p e r c e n t. 36. of the 48 samples of contained predigested over 60 per cent of insoluble starch. T he fuel value of the foods is about one-half that of butter and salt pork, the average being about the same as cheese. Table V is the most impor tant one in the bulletin. It shows the comparative food value of the 48 breakfast foods and 15 of the prin cipal foods, such as eggs, meat, milk, cheese, potatoes, bread, corn meal, etc., on the amount which can be bought for 10 cents. F r om the standpoint of cost, corn meal furnishes more than twice as much nourishment as any breakfast food. W h i te wheat bread just is about In discussing the average. the presence of fiber, Mr. Robison says that while breakfast foods con tain a considerable amount of the presence of this very fiber con tributes to their wholesomeness be cause it gives bouyancy and bulk to the meal and aids the digestive organs in their peristaltic action. Some of the foods are exceedingly palatable and this is an important factor in the solution of human food.
