HARVARD.
This year’s Hasty Pudding play has
been as much of a success as any of its
predecessors. “The Flying Dutchman”’
is more of a burlesque than the pro-
duction last year and contains more
local hits. All the parts are well tak-
en, Schurz, Woodruff, Stone and Rust
being especially good. Among. the
specialties introduced im the third act
is an exceedingly clever burlesque on
“Secret Service’ by H. Woodruff, ’98,
and H. Schurz, ’97.
It is reported that Graub, the star
mile-runner will not compete in the
Harvard-University of Pennsylvania
dual games on May 9.
Harvard’s new shell from Webb has
just arrived at Cambridge. The boat
is 64 feet long, 22 inches wide, 10 or
141-2 inches deep, the last measure-
ment being from the top of the wash-
streak. It weighs 236 pounds and is
one foot longer than last year’s boat.
The shell is built of American cedar
and is very strong and substantial,
having been built to suit a crew aver-
aging 176 pounds. Instead of the or-
dinary leathers, shoes are to be bolted
on the footboards. It is expected that
this will give the men a firmer hold,
and will prevent blistering of the feet.

WHAT IS
a ODE
INHALER ?
X-ODE is a product of electricity. It forms on
asbestos while being electrically treated in a
solution. This asbestos is Pe up in a glass vial.
When the cork of the vial is removed and the air
comes in contact with the asbestos, it emits from
the inhaler a soothing gaseous substance, which
will penetrate any part of the body. When inhaled
through the nose or mouth, it penetrates every
nook and crevice of the mucuous surfaces, kills the
germ that causes the disease, and gives the tissues
a healthy condition, thus effecting a permanent
cure. Itis unlike snuff, drugs or medicine. X-Ode
penetrates parts that it would be impossible for
drugs or medicines to do.
Catarrh, Asthma, Hay Fever, Coughs, Head-
ache, Bronchitis, LaGrippe, ete., yield to {ts influ-
ence with marvelous rapidity.
This inhaler lasts from one to three years,
