DISPENSARY By Cressie Barner. Jazz Allen:-has a sort of a disease called the sleepjitus. Common symptoms are his usual tardy marks from five to twenty minutes every morning. The only remedy I can find and, I guess it is a good one, is an automatic bed. This bed may be set by a clock so that at an appointed hour it will uncoil and tumble Jazz out early enough to arrive at school in time. The scheme is for the bed to uncoil at five o'clock A. M. and not close until 6 P. M. ' You all know how terrible the disease of tuberculosis is and how many people die annually from it. Well, there is one of these Seniors who is terribly afflicted and will have to have an antidote. This is Scotty. Her disease is a new variety called the Black Jack consumption. The only symptoms are noticeable when she is being watched by Miss Fox. She instantly consumes all the gum in her mouth. I Tate's disease is the awful Audley py trods of the Runnets. He will never be any better than he is. That's why he is all the time trying to celebrate. , Renowden-, The diseased is constantly suffering from the reditis. l He is also constantly hampered by the ringing of May bells. CMabelsD. Miss Brown :-The symptoms of her disease are always quite noticeable. It being what is commonly called Excess Avoirdu- poise. Prescription :-A Diet. This being composed of the fol- lowing: Breakfast-Ham and eggs, toast, breakfast foods, coffee but little milk. Dinner-Pork roast, mutton, beefsteak, boiled veal, mashed potatoes with gravy, celery and onions, pie, pudding and ice cream and cake. Supper-Boiled cabbage, macaroni and cheese, undressed spuds, potato salads, fruit salads. In each case she may have all the bread she wants and there is no check on the candy or fruits. The main object is to lessen the flesh by the ex- tra working of the muscles which are under the obligation of car- rying this load around. Next is A. Hinkley. Through the excess of hard work and study Archie grew to be a small man. The cause of this was the property the skin possessed of not being able to stretch as Archie wanted to grow. A diet may be prescribed here also. Breakfast will consist of a cup of water and three crackers. Dinner-Two ' -3 3-

U Eleventh: I, Howard Miller, having used my thinking ability to the best advantage, do hereby bequeath the same to Burton Lake, if he is not too lazy to accept it. . Twelfth: I, Ed Renowden, bequeath my broken fiddle strings and broken bows to Roy Kenyon, whether they will be of any use to him or not makes no difference. Thirteenth: I, Miss Sharley A. Sherman, bequeath my vocal ability to any Junior member who has a poodle dog which they want to train. Fourteen: We, Floy Tweedy and Ethel Brown, having en- joyed the privileges of being the largest and the smallest in the class, being urged by the patient goading of our classmates, wil- lingly give up our old Fatty Arbuckle and Charlie Chaplin squabbles to Gwendolin Seafuse and Margaret Shivilie. Fifteenth: Knowing that I have been the sweetest and pret- tiest girl in my class, I, Bertha Runyan, leave my cheerful sunny smiles to Lula Goodwin and Chouty Walton. Sixteenth: I, Elizabeth Peck, leave to any future Caesar student, the little bug which causes us to be so restless. We, the following, firmly and solemnly swear that this pre- ceedinfr intsrument had been ascribed and attested to before us this fifth day of April in the year of our Lo-rd, one thousand, nine hundred and twenty. SHARLEY A. SHERMAN ARTHUR C. BIELBY CARL M. IVERSON Drawn up and sworn before me, CARL A. BIELBY, Attorney Pro. Tem. .-37-.

small spoonfuls of cooked corn and bread, not to exceed one-half slice. A cup of tea. Supper-One4half cup of milk with eight grams of salt pork and one cookie. This is a converse of the preceeding number. Muscles and organs have to be rested to expand and grow. Sherman: She is attacked by dropsy to a certain extent. Symptoms are quite noticeable in oratory class. High blood pres- sure in the face and iinds herself unable to- talk. I think a trip to padded cell number 999, Newberry, where there is a specialty doctor would do her some good. B, Runyan: She has a weak nervous system or else St. Vitus dance because she is constantly wanting to move. Symptoms are shown when she wants to go to Jennings on a sleigh load or to Scott's hall to a dance. They may also be noticed in the senior room some times. I would prescribe some kind of sleeping pow- der that would make her go to bed early and stay there until morning. There seems to be something wrong with W. W. Allen, but it is hard to describe it. It isn't pneumonia but it is new motions. Symptoms were noticed on some of the basket ball trips, espe- cially Mesick and Tustin. The only directions that he could fol- low that would help him would be go easy, Allen, on the new motions. -39-
