The scholarship fund was established

enable the pupil "who shall have been
most proficient in painting' to carry
on his studies in Europe for two years.
1t is open to both men and women, and
is awarded upon the basis of general
excellence of work and not upon a spe-

living in California, he received hi:

other Minneapolis students have done

FOR YOU

Here are some facts for Dyspeptics:
Are you one?
Probably; because most people are,
though they ignore it. ~.
First, please bear in mind that Dys-
pepsia, or Indigestion, is more than
ailment.
It is a disease.
1t is a disease, with ramifcations into
the uttermost, innermost part of your
body.
It does not always begin in your
stomach.
No, indeed. It may begin in your
mouth.
Your saliva may be of the wrong
chemical formula to begin the work
may 60 wrong from the very. beginning.
Or, everything may be all right but
your liver.
Or, maybe it seems to be your heart.
Or, you may have deepchested lung
cough.
Ten times out of eleven those symp-
toms point to the plain, everyday COM
mon or garden variety of Indigestion.
if SO, it is only because for many years,
even after the discovery of the circu-
lation of the blood by Harvey, doctors
remained in the densest ignorance con-
corning the workings Of the processes
Of digestion.
So, of course, of Indigestion, they
