Thomas Sawatzky of Herbert, Sas-

The value of my crop per acre of

Chicago, ILL.,, Oct. 31.-A movement
for the teaching of better English in
the public schools has begun by the
Chicago English Club here, following
charges by various educators that the
enunciation of Americans, and par
ticularly those of the Middle West,
was slovenly and ungrammatical. Miss
j. A. Wilcox in enumerating instances
asserted she had overheard a teacher
say, Il amt particular how my pupils
say thing. What I'm after is facts
When Edwin Arnold visited this
country said Miss Wilcox, "he took a
certain society lady out to dinner. She
called attention to the elegant estab-

and presently described as elegant a

superabundance of elegancies in the

Mr.. Zangwill hopes while in this
country to arouse. the interest of the
Jews here in the project for the estab-
lishment of Jewish state II they
are content with their position in this
country, he thinks they ought to help
other members of their race who are
not satisfied with their present place
of residence, either because of persecu-
tons or through anti-Semitic hatred.
He has already had conferences with
prominent Jews in this country re-
garding the matter.
AZ a side show to use his exact
words to his larger project, Mr.. Fang
will is trying to divert the Jewish i'm
grafton to this country from New York
to Galveston, Texas. IN the southern
city, he said. there are few factories
and the Jewish immigrants are not
tempted to remain at the g-teway
as they are in, New York. They go
into the country and mingle with the
people in all sections. This he regards
as beneficial to both the Jew and the
Christian.

MYSTERIOUS VISITOR
FR|GHTENS TOWN
Woman in Black Terrifies Mis-
SOurianS.

Bowling Green, Mo-, Oct. 31.-This
town is I'm the throes of excitement
over a great scare which has aroused
some of the more superstitious resi-.
dents. A woman wearing a flowing,
witchlike garb of black appears after
the evening shadows have fallen at
the front doors of houses and rings
the. door bells and just before the
door is answered suddenly disappears.
The last "apparition' was seen only
this week when it knocked, with three
ravenlike taps, at the front door Of
the home of the Rev. Mr.. Gardner, Of
the Cumberland Presbyterian church.
The story goes that the minister had
on previous occasions discredited the
story of the 'spook" and had tried to
quiet the fears of the sceptical citi-
Zens.
The legend of the woman in black
dates back three years. 1t is said that
on one late wintry night when the
belated town bus was being driven
from the railroad station an object
resembling a woman in black seized
the reins of the horses. When the
driver jumped from his seat it vanish.

When Your Stomach Hurts
Take A Little Kodol
The pain will then the irritation end and your stomach
will feel good kodol stops the pains of indigestion and
dyspepsia quickly Because dgess all the food you eat

Kodol is a pleasant, palatable liquid prepar-
ton that helps the stomach do it's work in a
natural way and is the only preparation that COM
pletely digests all the food you eat Being
liquid, it starts digestion at once.
Kodo supplies the same digestive juices that
are found in a healthy stomach. This is why 1t
will stop the pains of indigestion quickly. This is
why it prevents chronic nervous dyspepsia
Your stomach being weakened probably by
overlooking or overwork is unable to do its work
properly. and the natural result is-indigestion,
sour stomach, gas belching which will soon
result in chronic dyspepsia, unless the stomach
is given help
That shaky. painful feeling in the stomach is
nervous indigestion or dyspepsia 1t is not only
annoying. but dangerous. II left alone the result
Is generally gastritis or often that fatal afhicton
appendicitis Appendicitis according to the best
medical authorities is directly caused by indiges-
ton.
Don't neglect your stomach Don't take any
chances. There is no need for you to suffer be-
cause little Kodol now and then will keen the
stomach well, healthy and strong. Do not diet or
starve yourself That is not the way to get help.
Your body needs the food your appetite calls for
you must have plenty OF good food to make
bone, muscle and rich Ifegiving blood.
