Down in the chemistry department, an ultra violet ray machine was re ceived last week and is now being set up.

A- new laboratory room has been out-fitted for Dr. Smythe and the old ooi is being enlarged. Dr. Corring ton's office is being moved into the room opposite and the laboratory ex tended back.

Says Mitchell Is in A ccordance With Christ's Own Words -Says Speaker DISEASE BANISHED NOW Sunday Night Y.M.C.A.

Typhoid, yellow fever, and smallpox have been practically banish ed by these modern miracles." Dr.Mitchell, of medium height, in clined to be stout, slightly bald, stood before his audience, holding them, without oratory and gestures, w;th his clear eye. The hall was quiet ; none of the whispers commonly heard in such audiences were heard. His message was interesting, serious, and inspiring.
