health problems that confront
us in school and daily life.
These talks will be short
but helpful. The State Board

to send a number of pamphlets
which discuss these problems,
and If they can be supplied they
will be distributed.
We are heartily in favor of

service in our school. This

A DEAD STOMACH
OF what Use Is It to Anyone?

Thousands, yes hundreds of thous-
are numbering their own stomach,
the best friend they have. and in
their sublime ignorance they think
they are putting aside the laws of
nature.
This Is no sensational statement;
it is a startling fact, the truth of
which any honorable physician will
not deny.
These thousands Of people are
swallowing daily huge quantities Of
pepsin and other strong digesters,
made especially to digest the food
in the stomach without any aid at all
from the digeetfve membrane of the
stomach.
In other words they are taking
from the stomach the work that
nature intended it should do. and
are also refusing it the only chance
for exercise It has. Mi-o-na stomach
tablets relieve.sdistressed stomach in
five minutes. Taken regularly for
a few weeks they build up the stom-
ach and make /. it strong enough to
digest its ownHfood. Then indiges-
tion,, belching, sour stomach, head
ache tand stomach misery go.
Mona stomach tablets are sold
by the, Harper house pharmacy and
leading druggists everywhere at so
cent? al large box, and are guaran-
teed to Acure all stomach distress or

characterize such proceedings three
negroes and a white made frequent

played the principal roles in a mixup
at Fourth and Rock Island streets,

of Mrs. Rays house, were arrested by
Officers Bishop and Randolph. A
32-calibre revolver, with fire cham
bers loaded, was found by the police
men under the cupboard in the Ray
woman's house, but ownership to it
could not be established and it was
turned over to the force. After hear
ing conflicting charges and defenses,
Magistrate Roddewig fined Mrs. Ray
SIS and costs for keeping a disor-
derby house and gave Lucille Martin,
who could not give a good account
of her time, 1 3 days in Jail for be-
ing an inmate. Feeley and Hamp-
ton were given 81 and costs each.
All were sent to Jail in default of
payment.

Paris, Jan. 9-After long and ami
mated debate the Institute Of
France voted 90 to 50. that the cleo
ton of women to the institute was
contrary to immutable tradition"
and thereby the candidacy of Nine.
Curie. who with her husband dis
covered radium, was defeated.
This decision was not imposed up
on the five separate academies which
make up the institute. Nine Curie's
chances of being elected to the place
made vacant in the Academy of Nor
al Sciences, however. are adversely
affected by the institutes action.
Scientific reports have given more
credit to Nine Curie than TO her nus
band for the researches which re-
suited i'm the discovery of radium. 1t
was when working with NJ. Schmidt
in 1898, Independently. that she found
that thorium was possessed of proper
ties enabling IL to emit rays that
would pierce liquids and solids.
