In spite Of the greatest personal

constipation and indigestion have
wrecked many a young life. To start
with good digestive apparatus is to

But as we cannot all have perfect

them to become healthy. This can be
done by the use of a laxative-tonic

It's mildness makes it the ideal medi-

SIMPLE AID TO THE MEMORY
History Professors Simple and Ingen.
ious Method in Calling Tele-
phone Numbers.

I long had difficulty in remember
ing my own telephone number, which
is 1885, and often when asked for it
have been obliged to stammer, ooh
why-to tell the truth, I've forgotten
it for the moment" and then have
had my questioner go off wondering
what scrt of creature I am, a profess
sor of history writes in the Atlantic
Monthly.
Under my new system I am saved
from this humiliation. I merely have
to remember that my telephone call is
the death of George VII, and at once
I know that it must be 1885. Similar
1y, when calling up the Instructor who
has charge of our elementary course
in European history, I need only think
of the defeat of the Franks by the
Burgundians at Vesseronce, and l
have his number, 524. The professor
who gives our courses in ecclesiastical
history appropriately has for his tele-
phone number 313, the date of the
edict of federation issued by Constan-
tine and Licinius; and the one who
gives the courses in Anglo-Saxon lit
erature has $50, which marks the re-
covery of the independence by Wulf-
here, the first Christian king of Mer-
cia. For the he'd of the Latin depart
ment think of tho incorruptible
Caecilius Metellus turning the tide in
the troublesome war with Jugurtha,
and cali 100; while Alexander's VIC
tory at Arbela, 331, gives me the
number of the professor of Greek.
