little while when you have slight att
tacks of Indigestion, and you take it
just little longer in order to get re-
lief from severe attacks of Indigestion
or Nervous Dyspepsia. Try Kodol

California Schools Su1paSS
Those Of Foreign Countries

Hill of Harvard wrote in one of the
first chapters of his work on rhetoric
that most Of the graduates of Ameri-
can universities write so execrably
that their compositions would disgrace
boy of twelve years old, granting
that such a boy had been grounded
fairly well in the rudiments of the
English language.
Though it is a fact that many college
graduates have a poor command of
English, 1t is an encouraging sign that
the great universities of the country
are devoting more pains each year to
the study of the mother tongue. Today
such universities as Stanford, the State
University of California, the University
of Chicago, and others of like import
ance make a speciality of chair of
English Quotations of diction receive
more attention than at any previous
period in American history.
1t is noticeable that Germans
Frenchmen, and other foreigners who
undertake to maSter English are more
grammatical and thorough than are
many of our native sons and daugh-
ters. Despite the greater attention now
being paid to the form of speech, one
is often shocked by hearing construc-
tions that CRATE on the ears, and that
are as rude and ignorant as 1 seen it,
and 81 done it."
