Sidewalk Sketches
BY Howard L. Ram
DYSPEPSIA.

Dyspepsia Is a periodical uprising of
the digestive apparatus which is sue
ceeded by lively sense of remorse
and a determination to Fletcherize
everything on the menu, from oysters
to ice cream. It Is caused by the food
running into a sharp pain and calling
loudly for help, and Is harder to cure
than the habit of tipping up the soup
bowl. s..-
The two things which give the med
ical profession more trouble than any
thing else are dyspepsia and bad bills.
Very few doctors are able to recognize
dyspepsia at the first glance, but are
just as liable as not to prescribe for
dislocation of the hip. When a man
who is entertaining sad-eyed attack
of dyspepsia goes to his family physi.
clan and is treated few times for
water on the knee cap, without secur-
ing any practical results except a
statement made out on four sheets of
follscap paper, he will lose, faith in
medicine and allow the osteopath to
play few lively tunes on his spine.
Dyspepsia is generally preceded by
a premonition that something Is about
to occur that cannot be relieved by

ADVICE 70 YOUNG ATTORNEYS,

ADVICE TO YOUNG ATTORNEYS
The Docket, published by the West
( Publishing Co. Of St. Paul, and devoted
to the interest Of the legal profession,
rives the following bit of advice to
young lawyers:
I'm promulgating your esoteric cog
ltations and in articulating your sup
CRITICAL sentimentalities and amicable
philosophical or psychological obser-
vations, beware of platitudinous pom
derosity. Let you conversational COM
munication possess clarified con-
ciseness, a compacted comprehensive
ness. coalescent consistency and a
concatenated cogency. Eschew all
conglomerations Of flatulent garrulity,
teiune babblement and asinine affecta-
tons. Let your extemporaneous des-
canting and unprecedented expatia-
tons have intelligibility and veracious
viyacity without rhodomontade or tina
sonical bombast. And furthermore,
sedulously avoid all polysyllabic pro.
fundity, pompous proclivity, psittace.
BUS vacuity, ventriloquial verbosity and
yaniloquent, ventrfloquial verbosity and
yaniloquent vapidity. Shun double
,ntendre, prurient jocosity and pestif-
erous profanity, obscurant or appar-
emit.
In other words, the Docket says in
conclusion, talk plainly. Don't use
big words.

ner, when all of sudden he will
pause in the middle of an apple
dumpling and exchange words with q
new kind of pain. This Is the first
stage Of dyspepsia, and Is always sue
ceeded by a milk and egg diet or the
genial influences of the mud bath.
Whenever physician locates case
of dyspepsia he advocates a change
of climate and advises the patient to
eat nothing that tastes like food.
Dyspepsia has a very enervating effect
upon the appetite, and will reduce 1t
to the point where it can't flirt with
anything but the matted milk tablet.
It is a disheartening sight to see tall,
oad-shouldered captain OF industry
leading his appetite up to cupful OF
bouillon and two soda crackers, just
prior to going out and applying the
screws to the ultimate consumer, but
this Ia q form Of retribution which
nobody should complain about.

TEACHERS, ANNUirlEs.

The Des Moines Register and Leader
gives a strong Endorsement to the
teachers pension bill, which has
passed the Iowa senate and Is now In
the house. Ottumwa teachers are
united in support of the measure. The
bill provides annuities for school
teachers who have served twenty-five
years. The amount OF the annuity Is
small In the main 1t is guaranteed
by contributions of the teachers them
selves, who are asked to make q
monthly deposit with the state for
their wages. A fraction of a mill levy
will be added by the state for period
of ten years after which time 1t Is est.
mated on the experience of other
states that the fund will be self
supporting. Arguing in behalf of the
measure the Register and Leader says:
There is natural and readily I'M
derstandable disinclination on the part
of many to enter upon an experiment
in which England and Germany have
gone so far. We still cling to the
notion that the teacher like everybody
else, should save as she goes along
and provide for her own old age.
But when present-day conditions are
considered, and present-day demands,
it becomes plain that mere thrift on
the part Of the teacher is not enough.
The range Of investment is exceedingly
small for those who are experienced
in the ways of business, and the re.
turns Of safe investments each year
grow less, while the cost Of living con-
stantly presses on even the most flat.
tering income.
England and Germany are as con-
stitutionally committed to individual
effort and individual thrift as America.
They have had the problem with them
longer and in more aggravated form.
They have accepted the annuity and
pension as the only provision the COM
munity. can make against the days
when the salary Garner must cease to
earn: salary. 1t is a form Of state
insurance by. which the state itself of.
fers. the opportunity to provide against
a day of want.
Other states have provided this
means Of protection, and Iowa will not
be entering upon any untried expert
ment. Neither will Iowa be adding
any considerable amount to the cost
of teaching in the state. On the other
hand, encouragement will be given to
teachers to making teaching profes-
sion. and to remain In Iowa. ,..
The Register and Leader urges the
house to pass the senate bill.
