Calcium carbonate in its diff
ferent forms is used internally as
an antacid and very mild as
tringent. /"
From Webster's New Intcrna-
tional Dictionary: Antacid
Med. a remedy for acidity of the
stomach, intestineS or urine, as
an alkali or absorbent counterac-
tive of acidity.

action of common salt upon the
stomach is that of a Stimulant "
From The r. eu ii cs, Materia
Medica and Pharmacy, by Potter,
18th ed. calcium salts play an
important part in the circulation
and in most other functions of the
body. The heart or any other
muscles deprived of calcium will
mo longer contract.
"These salts have a remarkable
influence on the nutrition of plants
and animals. F."
"They possess high coagulating
power in the blood. Their dcfci-
ency gives rise to Emphatic and
osseous diseases, and their alb
sence results in emaciation and
finally death"
"Their absence from water
renders the latter fiat and insipid
to the taste. y
Calcium salts are believed to
prevent the formation of uric
acid calculi, by binding the phoS-
Iphate of the food and blood and
thereby lessening the excretiOn of
iphosphoric acid. The carbonate is
the salt preferred for this pur-
pose.
Sodium chloride, common salt
is one of the most important and
abundant of the saline conStl-
tuents of the animal organism ex-
listing normally in the blood,
where it keeps the fibers and al
bumen in solution. In very dl-
Lutte solutions it enables the water
to dissolve both albumcns and
globulins and renders water non
lirritant to the animal tissues and
harmless to the red corpuScleS.

CHOOSING
CLASS PIN

Juniors at Stadium are In the
throes of one of those heart-rend-
ing periods of high school stu
dents life when they must choose
high school pin.
After many catalogues and de-
signs of pins had been submitted,
and after much hemming and
having, as is always the case, the
6,433 different designs were elm
mated to two.
These two cute little designs,
done neatly In water colors, are
now posted on the bulletin board.
A swarm of girls are playing the
elimination game, but, my gra-
cious, how hard 1t is to choose!
Many senior classes make the
horrible mistake Of choosing a pin
SO unsuitable to the temperament
and personality of the class and
Stadium juniors don't wish to see
their class suffer this mistake. So
they are careful.
One domestic science pupil
confidentially said she thought 1t
would be the little diamond
shaped pin with the round top.

Following recent investiga-
