We well remember the famous Wallace House of 1876 and think that a copy of their proceedings and tribulations placed on the Desks of our latter day members would be of some benefit and perhaps stimulate them and increase their knowledge and bring about higher ideals u to what ia needed by the masses who sent them to the State House.

RIAH MAS. “GREENS" At this wonderful spring season, tender plants are springing up every where. Our ancestors, those long- Jiycd fellows, welcomed the spring time that brought the “wild greens." The home-cured bacon made ideal seasoning for them; in food-values they were one hundred per cent. Young, tender plants are rich in vita- mines, readily adaptable to the human system. Necessary minerals' for blood-making art hire to be taken, not as medicine, out Us palatable, sat isfying food. If we only could real ize all that Mother Nature does for. us ,and how human greed is striving to take over her processes and sell the manufactured stuff as a better article—for cash! “Greens” are within reach of every one. Our gardens are better than ever before; let's not ignore the fragrant spring onion. Why can’t Dame Fashion decree that, only.select circles can . afford the ‘-exquisite “onion-breath”—and note her devo tees in the rush to acquire one? In the country the fence-comers are literally alive with “dock," “dande lion” and other edible wild plants. Mustard, is grown in our back-lots, horse-radish* tops, ’turnip-tops — O, there’s no end of the health-giving diet, right from nature’s pantry. Brown breads, a minimum of meats, buttermilk, early strawberries, new string-beans, lettuce, cottage cheese, fresh eggs once daily, with plenty of pure drinking-water, with abundant, out-door exercise in the way of use ful employment—tell me, ye wise men, what’s the idea of anybody get ting sick? : . • I cannot think of any sub-acute or chronic condition that the above diet ary, moderately indulged, can aggra vate in the least. On the contrary, geting away from the tin can and ^the copyrighted menu, is a blessing for winch we cannot render enot^ Now laugh, you I Winthrop College SCHOLARSHIP AND ENTRANCE EXAMINATION.
