ence in aiding governmental develop
ment.
Mr.. Taft referred to the moral awak-
ening during the last four years as an
indication of the healthful state of
American civilization.
In his experiences in the north and
south and in the Philippine islands, he
said, he had been able to study many
different phases of civilization, espe-
cially in the matter of church infiu-
enceS.
Leaving out the distinctions of sect. -
he continued, "the indispensable pres
ence of church influence in the i'm
provement in our civilization no one
can be blind to who has shared in the
slightest the responsibility for govern
ment and the responsibility for inn
provement of a people as / have
THAT was a responsibility in respect
to a race that is now in a state of
Christian tutelage, and must be up
lifted, in my judgment, by us and
through our guidance before we shall
have discharged the obligations that
Providence has thrust upon u.s.
And in the study of their develop
ment it has become known to me the
enormous influence the church must
exercise in order to make our progress
there effective.

DR.. Moore's Plea
Superintendent of Schools Moore has
the following to say regarding the
bond election:
Los Angeles needs more schools.
"She needs another high school, and
must have it, if her children are to
have their chance at an education.
zone high school graduate is better
investment for the city than four OF
five who have had nothing but an ele-
mentary training.
He will do four or five times as
much for his city and for his state
Education begins to count only when
one has had a lot of it, and every
American community must give every
child as much of it as he asks for.
I'VE need some new elementary schools
in the rapidly growing new sections OF
the town, and we shall have to have
them, for the compulsory school law
requires the children to go to school,
and there must be schools for them.
mo lover of liberty and of a square
deal; no lover of children and of edu-
cation; no lover of Los Angeles and OF
the great state of California will fail
to take this chance to move the cause
of all these things forward by voting
for the school bonds tomorrow.
''E. G. MOORE,
Superintendent Of City Schools"

Don't Blame
Your Stomach
When Without Exertien or Cest You
Can Enjoy Meals and Cure
Dyspepsia

Don't blame your stomach or your
luck when your meals declare war on
your system
When the stomach won't do it's work
1t is because it cannot.
When foul smelling odors come from
your stomach, when the head aches and
the sourness of mouth every morning
makes you hate your breakfast, when
dreams and nightmare assaiI you, don't
give up the fight.
This is the appeal of nature, and it
should be heard.
Overeating, late Suppers, poorly
cheWed food, too rich pastries and un-
derdone cooking are some of the causes
of the stomach's i'll health.
When the stomach is busy, it presses
and churns all the liquid matter from
food and with its juices dissolves into
liquid form or pulp everything which
comes into it.
If such food be poisonous it affects
the juices, attacks the stomach, goes
into the blood and weakens the entire
system.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets will digest
a full meal easily without material as
SiStance from the stomach. They will
restock the gastric fluid with all the
elements needed. They build I'D the
blood, destroy sour taste, bad breath,
belching, stomach and bowel trouble
and quickly restore natural conditions.
One grain of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tab
lets will digest 5000 grains Of food in
the stomach or in glass vial without
aid Of the human digestive apparatus.
The methods of Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets are the methods of Nature.
They contain every requisite for the
stomach and digestion. After a meal
one of these little tablets when it en-
ters the stomach mingles with the
juices, attacks the food and digests it.
1t removes the fermented and decayed
mass lying stagnant there and eases
the stomach at once
1t is wholly question for you to
solve. Your druggist will furnish Stu
arts Dyspepsia Tablets SOC the box, or
send us your name and address and we
viii send you a trial package free.
