Summer Foods AS
Cause for Dyspepsia
Many Also Get Diarrhoea-What To
Do in Either Case.

Summer ought to be the months of
most perfect health, but owing to con-
taminated water and milk, unripe
fruit, germs and insects the average
of health is not good at this time of
the year. There is much skin trouble
from acid fruits, and much dyspepsia
and diarrhoea from cold foods and
iced beverages.
The skin trouble is easily stopped
by disseminating fruit for a few days,
and by the use of a mild laxative to
clean the bowels and tone the blood.
The dyspepsia is likewise corrected
by the use of a laxative that has COM
bined with it the elements of diges-
tive tonic. Hence the best remedy
to use is DR.. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin,
which, as it's name indicates, is a
pleasant laxative combined with the
virtues of pepsin, which we all know
is the best cure for indigestion.
Use Syrup Pepsin also for summer
diarrhoea. Avoid astringents, physics
and cathartics, as they are unneces-
sarily harsh. Thousands of good
American families prefer DIR. Cald-
wells Syrup Pepsin, among them
those of Mrs. w. A. Taylor, Beloit.

AUGUSTUS LYON, Terre Hill, Pa
1t is true that nature and woman S
work has produced the grandest remedy
for wornan's ills that the world has
ever known. From the roots and
herbs of the field, Lydia E. Pinkham,
forty years ago, gave to womankind
g remedy for their peculiar ills which
has proved more efficacious than am
other combination of drugs ever COM
pounded, and today Lydia E. Pinkham' s
Vegetable Compound is recogniz d
from coast to coast as the standard
remedy for woman's ills.
In the Pinkham Laboratory at Lynn,
Mass, are files containing hundreds of
thousands of letters from women seek
ing health many of them openly state
over their own signatures that they have
regained their health by taking Lydia
E. Pinkham' s Vegetable Compound;
and in some cases that it has saved them
from surgical operations.

The Qualifications Needed.

"There are certain qualifications
needed to achieve success" Profes- |
sor MacMurray said in speaking TO
the class. 1.-THE first is self-rellance.
You have been in school for ten or
twelve years. When problem was
hard. you put up your hands and
teacher was glad to help you. Now
you are on your own resources. Don't
be like the cub reporter sent out to
cover fire. He sent a message say
ing the fire was still burning, what
should he do. The managing editor
wired back that he should find the
hottest place and jump in.
''You must learn to think for your
self. You should be taught to
think. I have no appreciation for the
educational system that squelches
your ability to think for yourself.
One Of the Ames men said the other
day that they were SO busy getting
lessons they did not have time TO
think.
"If you should be self-reliant, you
should be able to grasp opportunity.
like to think not Of opportunity as
knocking but once. but Of coming
each day.
"You should have the work habit.
The work habit will enable you to
stick to problem until you have
mastered it.
! "And you should have the right
mental attitude toward life. You
mustn't keep saying you'll never
never amount to anything, for if you
do you'll be like the lunkhead and
lummox Of the poem, the Comics
sion of a Lunkhead" Modern edu-
cation should encourage you in your
going out into life apd help you"
In closing Professor MacMuffay re-
cited the posm he referred to.
Should Be Proud.
II hope you will go out and do
something worth while in life, so the
residents of your town will be able to
point you out with pride and be glad
! in your success and proud of the fact
that you are a graduate of Keokuk
| high school," Professor MacMarray
said in his closing word to the grade
! ates.
| Professor MacMurray's address was
appreciated not only by the class but
By the audience. He is fluent speak
err, and his name on the platform s
one which commands your attention.
His ability to deliver a talk to the
point and one of interest and profit
was we'll demonstrated last night.
Honors and Prizes Announced.
Following an orchestral selection,
l'tNanette," Principal r. l.. Reid, A. b.
M. D., of the high school, announced
the standings and awards "The class
historian said this was the greatest
class ever graduated" said DR.. Reid,
and Of course we will not dispute
him. We have twenty-six boys and
sixteen girls in the class. We believe
they have had time to stop and think
as they went along. He then an
nounced the winners for the four
years work, those who had the high
est standing, Harold Chase Hinkley,
first, and Miss Helen Palmer Gray,
second. Honorable mention" DR..
Reid said, "was won by all the class

said Mr. Fulton. "The aim of our so
ciety is to honor those who risked
their lives in the birth of this nation.
Perhaps in the intensity of our
age we are forgetful of the patriots
of the nation. We should instill in
our people greater patriotism. Our
appreciation and respect for the
heroes at Vera Cruz shows that our
patriotism is not lessening. Those
who survive are entitled to honor.
Those in the quieter walks of life
who have given their lives have a
right to expect that Americans shall
remember and honor them.

lFIpute TO MotheF.
Professor MacMurray then related
a little personal incident in which
he was the hero. and in which he
paid a tribute to the mother who had
been far-sighted enough to refuse to
allow him to take clerks job at SIG
per month, three months before his
school was over. She made him stick
to the end, and then when he took
the examinations for teacher, passed
and received a school at s32. But
his mother refused to let him stop
here. mo, son, was trying to see
if you could make success at what
you started" was her answer when
he intimated that he would go on
teaching. She sent him to college.
and provided the way for his ultimate
success in the profession, plane
which he could not have attained
without his training.
"The time comes" Professor Mac
Murray resumed, when the money
side appeals to the boy and he is
tempted to drop out because he wants
to earn something. But it pays to
go through as the educated man sue
ceeds and gets more enjoyment out
of life than the uneducated man. The
very moral effect of this should slim
ulate one to completion of his course.
They who finish are more successful

forward to the front of the stage and
was given his diploma. A round or
applause followed each graduate.
Prizes to Young Women.
In presenting the first Kilbourne
prize to MISS Demple and the second
to Miss Gray, DR.. Hughes said that
perhaps he might be said to be deal
| ing with the material aspect of educa-
ton, and perhaps the side which was
most appreciated. He spoke of the
conditions under which the Kilbourne
prize is awarded. 1t is given for ex-
cellence in the fourth years work. 1t
was made possible through the gen.
crosby Of one of the city's leading
men. Each year the interest on the
money which is loaned is divided in
to four equal parts. One-fourth Of the
interest is added to the principal.
OF the remaining three-fourths, one
half constitutes the first Kilbourne
prize and one-quarter the second
prize.

choice was popular one.
The class song, written by Miss
Gray and Mr.. Albert Jenkins, was
sung with the class standing, and af-
ter this DR.. McElree pronounced the
benediction with the class and audi
ence standing, and another COM
mencement passed into the history
