men trying to determine who should be
chairman of the meeting.
Two factions were engaged in a bit
ter controversy. President $. b. Gar

so much noise that after J. M. Robin
son had been selected chairman he re-
quested President Garrison to cease
talking. The latter was not in that
sort of a mood and Under Sheriff Scott
escorted the president outside the hall.
A few minutes later the head of the
Board OF Education returned and be-
gan to talk again. The Under Sheriff
again elected him, this time quite fore
IDLY. and Deputy Myers was stationed
at the door to prevent him from re-

THE AUTO FEVER

The auto fever Is beginning to show
quite conspicuously. During the winter
there have been few men who have kept
their machines in commission and who
have had them out whenever the weather
and the roads made it pleasant to go out
but the majority Of them have had their
hines stored away. However. with the
lengthening of the days and the work.
ing into condition OF the roads the ma
chimes which have been tied up all win
ter long are making their appearance and
the fever is coming upon the drivers. This
makes the garage men hustle. They have
had a good part OF the winter TO overhaul
machines. but many owners did not make
up their minds what they wanted done
until the last minute. and now they want
the work done in hurry and are con-
stantly urging that it be pushed.

Watching a Stomach
Digest Food
Was the Means Whereby Science Made
Possible the Cure Of Dyspepsia.

Possible the Cure or dyspepsia.
The Able Spallanzani was the first
scientist to study systematically the
chemical powers of the gastric juice,
but 1t was by the careful and convince
ing experiments of Beaumont that the
foundation Of our exact knowledge Of
its composition and action was laid.
Beaumont was an army surgeon, To-
Gated at an obscure military post in
Michigan, while il was yet a terri
tory, and was called upon TO treat a
gun shot wound of the stomach in a
Canadian voyageur-Alexis St. Martin.
When the wound healed a permanent
opening was left by means OF which
food could be placed in the stomach
and gastric Juice taken from it.
Beaumont made scientific experiments
with his crude means and wrote a book.
which today is recognized among the
classics Of physiology.
Beaumont blazed the way for other
scientists so that today medicine knows
what the stomach does with food and
what food does to the stomach.
Science also knows what the gastric
juices are and how to make them best
for the system.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, thanks 70
the poor army surgeon and Alexis st.
Martin, give man a means of digesting
food. replenishing the exhausted juices,
soothing the nerves and correcting dys-
peptic conditions of the stomach.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are nat
ural fruit and vegetable essences re-
duced in concentrated form and by tre-
mendous power compressed into tab

CAN EXTEND
LIFE IS YEARS

NEW YORK, March 19-"The old
nlea that the time of life is fixed is
wrong Almost all the causes Of death
are destroyable and while death itself
is not destroyable, life can be greatly
heightened.
1.-THE average duration of life has
changed in the past $50 years, and this
is due 10 preventive medicine. Through
proper hSgienic methods and proper
living life can be prolonged at least
fifteen years"
These were among the interesting
things said by Professor Irving Fisher,
of Yale University, in a letter on "Na-
tional Vitality" delivered before the
League for Political Education at
Berkeley Lyceum yesterday.
Fatigue is responsible for much OF
our idleness." he declared. 1T is a
chemical phenomena-somethipg that
gets into the blood and clogs the
machinery"
The lecturer said that until a short
time ago it was always thought that
whiskey was a stimulant, but It had
been proved that alcohol lowers the
capacity for work, and that the present
temperance movement that is sweeping
the country is a great one in favor
of public health.
