Grnnell, Oct. 1s.-According to the

lively collegiate institution of the Uni

eight women and ninety eight men are

OF widespread interest to the friends
and alumni Of Grinnell is the recent
action of the board of trustees, relat-
ing TO the popular name of the college,
which is rapidly supplanting the name
originally given. In view of the con-
ditions existing. the trustees affirmed
the report of the committee and gave
official sanction to the name. "Grinnell

DAY-DREAM A WASTE OF TIME.
Precious Hours Lost to Those who
Are Prone to Wait for the Mood
to Strike Them.

II you have particular piece Of
work to do, set it done. Don't wait
for the mood to strike you.
Don't dream! There are more
precious hours wasted in day-dreams
than any of us would care to think
about if we counted them.
The queer thing about day-dreams
is that SO few OF them ever amount to
anything. The dreamer is only semi.
conscious when building his air
castles, so as rule they have no prac-
tical foundation.
While you are at work, keep your
mind on what you are doing, and do
not let 1t wander off to what you
would like to be doing. Only by keep.
ing your mind on what you are doing
now can you bring it, fresh and keen
to the things you like doing best when
the time for doing them comes. Think.
ing TOO much about even great happi.
ness takes the ledge" off it.
The best time for day-dreams is
after you have gone to bed.-New
York American.

Bloated and
Sour Stomach

Need No Longer Be Endured BY suf-
ferers From Dyspepsia.
The stomach and intestines always
contain, even in health small amount
OF gases. They seem, both from q
chemical and mechanical point of eivw
to be essential, to some extent at least,
to good digestion. A great deal of COM
mon air Is swallowed with the food,
and the remarka BILE facility with which
air bubbles are formed in the saliva
is referra BILE to this special purpose.
1t follows that oxygen and nitrogen
are natural to the stomach, and it has
been ascertained that nitrogen is
greatly in excess of oxygen, showing
that even in the stomach this gas is
some way employed in the vital pro-
cesseS. But as gases are easily evolved
by fermentation and decomposition of
food in the stomach and inteStineS. and
as saccharine and other ferrnentable
matters dissolved in liquids are present
in the CASTRO intestinal tube, it results
that its aeroform contents are much
more complex than is generally sup
posed.
When digestion is perfectly healthy
lence but as soon as Indigestion OCCURS
carbonic acid gas and various other
gases are freely formed in the stomach
and bowels, causing much discomfort.
The remedies employed for the cure
of fatulence may be classified as fol-
lows: Those which prevent fermenta-
ton: those which favor the expulsion
of gas, and those which oxidize and alb
serb gases. OF the remedies which pos
sess the above properties, charcoal is
the only one which has The power of
preventing fermentation and decompo-
sition of food, and at the same time
absorbing all excess gases in the ALI
mentary channel.
Medicines which expel gases from the
stomach. known as carminativeS. are
not to be compared with a remedy
which absorbs the gases and prevents
eructations or belching. STUART'S
CHARCOAL LOzENGES are now used
by thousands OF people who were for
merly subject to fermentation. decom-
position, belching, bad breath, and
runlbling noises in the intestinal sys-
tenn, and from which disagreeable
symptoms. thru the use OF these power
full absorbent lozenges, complete relief
has been obtained.
They are made of the finest willow
wood, treated by a special, exclusive

able and wonderfully effective in curing

Cures for rheumatism are almost an
old as the complaint ITSELF In the
midland counties Of England 1t was
formerly considered that the right
forefoot of hare, worn constantly in
the pocket, was an amulet against
rheumatism, while the Dutch peasant.
ry still cherish the belief In the pre-
servative virtues Of a borrowed or
stolen potato. Stranger than these,
however, was the remedy discovered
by a servant girl at the village of
Stanton, in the Cotswolds, who con.
trived to be confirmed three times, in
the belief that confirmation was an un.

The Days Of steeLclad Warriors.

When knights were clad in complete
armor from top to toe it was essen.
tial that they should bear some sign
by which their followers could dis.
tinguish them In battle, and this was
the function of their armorial bear
fngs. Knights who omitted to wear
their own arms ran considerable risk,
and 1t is related that at the battle Of
Bannockburn the last of the De Clares
owed his death to his omission to
wear his bearings. He was slain un.
recognized. whereas, had he been
known. he would have been held a
prisoner for the sake of ransom OF

Americans Spending Less In Paris.

greater frequency that they have been
advised by American consular repre-
sentatives to save their money and
buy at home. A few years ago con-
sui who took any interest in American
affairs except politics and his salary
was rarity. In Paris alone American
importations during the past year
were s21,000,0O0 less than in 1907. At
that they amounted to more than s42,-
100000 There were two other con-
tributing causes to the fall in Paris
sales to Americans, the financial de-
preston and the fact that London is
rapidly taking the place of Paris as

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications, as they can not
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness, and that Is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an in
famed condition of the mucous lining
of the Eustachian Tube. When this
tube is inflamed you have rumbIing
sound or imperfect hearing, and when
1t is entirely closed, Deafness is the re-
suit, and unless the Inflammation can
be taken out and this tube restored to
its normal condition, hearing will be
destroyed forever; nine cases out OF ten
are caused by catarrh, which is Moth
