Stomach Sufferers
Squander Millions
In Search Of RelIef.


The world is full Of disordered stom-
achs and 80 per cent Of the money
spent upon physicians and drugs goes
in an attempt to cure the stomach.
People are made to believe that IN
order to gain health they must DOC
tor their stomachs and use cathartics.
So the doctor gets his fee for the
stomach treatment and the druggist
for the physic, until the savings OF q
life time are exhausted and yet no
euro.
Let's be reasonable.
The sick stomach is In every case
the result of over-eating, hurried mas
tication and improper choice OF FOODS.
The mucous lining all the way down
the food tract loses its constituencies.
and when food is forced down the
muscles fail to respond. They do not
churn the food as they should. The
glands no longer give out gastric juice
to dissolve the food and render 1t ca
pable of assimilation. The man has be-
come dyspeptic.
There is one sure way and only
one to bring positive relief. Put Into
that stomach of yours the very eie'
ments that 1t lacks to get that food
into liquid form. It takes pepsin, dia
taste, golden seal and other ferments
to accomplish this. The healthy stom
ach contains these elements. The dys
peptic stomach lacks part or all o.
them. Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablet Is
made up of just what the dyspeptic
stomach lacks-Nature's digestives.
! Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are moi
medicine, not drug, not .cathar

thing but Dyspepsia and Indigestion
and such ailments as arise from poor

| While they digest the food the stom
ach recuperates. The mucous mem
brane is coming out of its stupor, the
gastric Juice is coming to the surface
the muscles are regaining their power

IOWA PUPILS POOR IN
ALGEBRA AND GRAMMAR
State inspector Mccienhan Says They
Are Deficient In These
Studies.

Iowa boys and girls are deficient In

they come to try the entrance exam.
nations to collegs and universities.
This Is the conclusion reached by
State High School Inspector McClen-
ahan, who has just completed a four
weeks tour of the state, visiting the
accredited high schools.
II And that in practically all of the
accredited high schools which visit
ed the boys and girls are woefulIy
deficient In English grammar and
algebra" said McClenahan. II be-
lieve that our Iowa teachers OF these
branches are as competent as those
of any other state, but why the boys
and girls should be so weak in English
language is little more than | can
yet understand. When they come to
take the entrance examinations in
colleges and universities they invar-
iably fail on English grammar guess
that the liberal use of modern slang
by the boys and girls OF the average
small city and country town has so
corrupted their grammar that 1t is
impossible for them to answer ex-
animation questions in that branch.
II think that this use of slang is at
least partly responsible for the lack
of knowledge in English grammar.
Iowa Boys and girls are as intelligent
as those of any other state. AS to
algebra. it is not surprising that any
set of boys and girls should be weak
in mathematics. Such things fire.

THE GREAr WHITE WAY.

Now that the chief obstacle to the
establishment of a great white way on
Kansas avenue has been removed
through the Willingness of a majority
of property owners to pay the cost of
the installation, there ought to be
plain sailing towards the completion
of the project. And this chief obstacle
did not turn out to be much of an
obstacle at all. for the property own
ers on this thoroughfare showed a fine
eagerness to do their part in making
the enterprise a success, and displayed
public spirit that is to be commend
ed highly.
Working out the constructive details
of the system is now in order. 1t has
already been suggested that the poles
on which the clusters of lights are to
be placed shall be twelve feet high.
There is no pretense here to express
an expert opinion in this matter. But
it is respectfully suggested that the
question of the height of the poles is
one of considerable importance. Kan
sas avenue is one of the widest city
streets in the United States. And con-
sidering it's great width it would ap-
pear that the best possible lighting eff
feet can not be obtained from the tops
of poles that are of ordinary height.
However, this is question for those
who have given the matter study to
determine, and they can be depended
upon to make no mistake
AS has been suggested in these col
umns before, the merchants along the
avenue can play their part in making
the white way a more brilliant affair,
| if they will see to it that their
show windows are we'll lighted at
night. The expense of installing the
special street lighting system falls on
the property owners. The expense of
maintaining il falls on the people of
the city as whole. Now many of the
merchants on the avenue are renters.
So it does not seem to be unreasonable
I to suggest that they make plans for
special illumination of their show
windows. Many of the Kansas ave-
nue. merchants now light their win
dows brilliantly at night. Everybody
knows what fine effect this has, and
the effect will be greatly enhanced
when the great white way system is in
working order.
