Radium Waters. The fad for radio active waters was for a short time valid. Investigators experimented by activating ordinary water. Their experiments took two directions: 1) to dissolve radium salts in water; 2) to expose water to radium emanation. Doctors thought that they had evidence that waters so treated would cure chronic arthritis, gout, neuritis, high blood pressure. The Bureau of Investigation of the American Medical Association soon found that quacks were selling the waters as cures for "anemia, leukemia, boils, blackheads and pimples." The A. M. A. Council on Pharmacy & Chemistry withdrew approval of devices purporting to make waters...
...another. Last week, addressing young U. S. females at Barnard College, Professor Wilhelm Braun cried: "The charm of Goethe's matchless personality is explained not by the universality of his genius but by the splendid normality of his life. He has given us a pattern that will always be valid: that it is the highest duty and aim of the individual to develop his own individuality and character to the highest extent possible."

No true believer in democracy could hod otherwise that the law to be valid and effective must rest on general consent and if that consent be wanting in large and populous sections the law must be changed...
Until three years ago, the charge of the inefficiency of student waiters was a valid one. But since then, with a careful method of selection and a plan for reducing the rate of turnover, the waiters in the Freshman Halls have proved that they can be as efficient as professional waitresses. The objection that social discrimination against the students might result has been shown, by experience with the Freshman and Business School dining halls, not to be a formidable one. This possible danger might be in large measure obviated if students were employed in Houses of which they were...
