REFORM HIGH SCHOOL.
Wisconsin Superintendent Public In
struction Favors Change.

Madison, Wis, Feb. 21.-Professor
c. P. Cary, Wisconsins superintendent
of public instruction, believes high
schools are devoting to much attention
to preparing ,tudents for entrance to
higher institutions of learning. Some
graduates of high schools and students
at the state university, he says, do not
know the multiplication tables.
With a view of getting high schools
to fill the field he believe they should,
Mr.. Cary has ben writing some open
letters to educators. He mailed one
today in which he said:
81 believe every high school should
give every pupil before he graduates
such review of the common branches
as will relieve the school of the charge
that graduates are weak and incom-
petent in their knowledge of the COM
mon branches.
"Much of the instruction in the high
schools should be more concrete and
less abstract and bookish.
Many high schools in the state, par
ticularly the smaller ones, are dis
sipating their energies by Offering more
variety in courses of study than is wise.
'It would seem wise for the schools
to attempt less and do more through
work in what they attempt"

Watching A Stomach
Digest Food
Was the Means Whereby Science Made
Possible the Cure of Dyspepsia.
A Trial Package of Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets Sent Free.

Tablets Sent Free.
The Able Spallanzani was the first
scientist to study Systematically the
chemical powers of the gastric Juice
but it was by the careful and convinc-
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 it was yet a territory,
and was called upon to treat a gun shot
wound of the stomach in a Canadian
Voyageur- Alexis st. Martin. When the
wound healed 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
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 to
the poor army surgeon and Alexis ST
Martin, give man means of digesting
food, replenishing the exhausted Juices

peptic conditions of the stomach.
