BUSINESS EDUCATION.

David r Forsan. president of the
National City bank Of Chicago, stated
IN a recent address on the subject,
What the Business Men Want Young
Men TO Know" that there are three
things that are all important and
that they are:
To know how 10 write a good leg
bile hand. to- make good figures. and
TO place them correctly.
To know how to add, subtract and
multiply the figures after they have
been correctly taken down and to do
it rapidly and with perfect accuracy.
To know how to express himself
clearly. briefly and dramatically in
letter and how to spell the words
correctly.
Judging from my experience said
Mr.. Forgan. these are rare qualifi-
cations. few years ago 7 took three
high school graduates into business
As test 7 gave each of them forty
oGd checks and instructed them to
take down the amount of each check
and then add the column ! gave
them as much time as they wanted
all of them more than half hour
and when they had finished not one
had taken down the figures correctly
nor had one added correctly the fig.
ures he had taken down."

VOTES FOR WOMEN.

The general assembly of Iowa in
1913 passed joint resolution amend
ing the state constitution in such a
manner as to extend the right of suf-
frage to women. If this amendm ent
IS. to become effective it must be
again passed by the general assembly
this winter and later ratified by the
people Of the state at popular cleo
ton. Consequently the advocates of
woman suffrage in Iowa will await
with much anxiety the action Of the
legislature on this topic during the
next few months. The movement for
equal suffrage is by no means new
one. either in the United States in
general or in Iowa in particular. as is
shown by Professor F. E. Horack in

IN FIVE MINUTES
NO SICK STOMACH,
INDIGESTION, GAS
"Pape's Diapepsin" is the
quickest and surest Stom-
ach relief.

II what you just ate is souring on
your stomach or lies like lump Of
lead, refusing to digest. or you belch
gas and eructate sour, undigested
food, or have a feeling Of dizziness,
heartburn, fullness, nausea, bad taste
in mouth and stomach headache, you
can surely get relief in five minutes.
Ask your pharmacist to show you
the formula, plainly printed on these
flfty-cent cases of Pape's Diapepsin,
then you will understand why dyspep-
and why 1t relieves sour, out-of-order
stomachs or indigestion in five min
utes "Pape's Diapepsin' is harmless;
tastes like candy, though each dose
will digest and prepare for assimila-
ton into the blood all the food you
eat; besides, it makes you go to the
table with healthy appetite; but
what will please you most, is that
you will feel that your stomach and
intestines are clean and fresh, and
you will not need to resort to Taxa
tives or liver pills for biliousness or
constipation.
This city will have many "Pape's
Diapepsin" cranks, as some people
! will call them. but you will be en-
thusiastic about this splendid stom-
ach preparation too, if you ever take
it for indigestion, gases, heartburn,
sourness, dyspepsia, or any stomach
misery.
Get some now, this minute, and rid
yourself OF stomach misery and indi.

PRESIDENT PEEvED.

President Wilson's Indianapolis
speech revealed that he had q temper.
| He was particularly angry with the
republicans and chastised them in his
remarks, referring to the opponents
OF his government ship purchase bill
as blind and ignorant. President Will
sons policy OF non-interference has
been broken during the past few
months, not only by those Of opposite
political BELIEF but by members of his
own party. His idea OF ons-man gov
eminent has displeased some OF the
leaders in his own party and evident
ly this opposition has ruffled the dis
position of the president. His Indian
apolis speech clearly indicates he Is
not satisfied with the present condi-
lions of affairs. In this he has plenty
OF company. His countrymen are not
satisfied They want work for the
hundreds of thousands of men who are
unemployed. Go into any city in the
land-no matter how small or how
large-and the number Of unemployed
exceeds that OF any year since Kelley
and Coxey army days. His accusa-
ton that the republican party has
been of no benefit to the country Is
so absurd that it was unworthy man
OF his position and intelligence. The
voice OF the people as expressed in
the recent elections indicate strong
desire to return to republican rule. In
stead of Mr.. Wilson going out to get
closer to the people. such speeches as
he delivered in Indianapolis will take
him farther away from them.

HOME HOSPITAL EXPERIMENT.

During the year 1912 there were re-
ported to the department Of health of
the city of New York 22,752 new
cases of tuberculosis. There were in
addition 1855 other cases still living
which HAD been reported in previous
years according to an article by Dr..
ID. B. Armstrong. in the weekly health
reports, issued by the United States
public health service.
In dirty, unventiIated, overcrowded
rooms exists many family. usually
with numerous children, in which one
or both parents have consumption.
Frequently several of the children
are tuberculous, and all are inevitably
exposed to the disease. Not infre-

bishop went to the palace and re-. buked him, threatening excommuni- cation. The king retaiated by false ly accusing the bishop Of dishonesty. According to Polish tradition, Stanis- las refuted this charge by raising a man from the dead to bear witness as to his innocence. In the year 1079 the excesses of the king became so Iurid that Stanislas pronounced sen tence of excommunication. Aroused to anger, the king sought out the bishop and found him saying mass in a chapel. The monarch ordered his soldiers to sIay the good man, but they refused, WhereupOn the king rushed in and slew Stanislas at the altar.
 Cracow, the ancient Polish capital which has been an objective of the Russians since the beginning of the present war, and which is the shrine of St Stanislas, was founded about Bohemia in the tenth century, but soon recovered by BoIeslas l., the Lion Hearted. In 1241 the city was captured by the Tartars, and later invasions swept through it In the thirteenth century it was again cap tured by the Bohennians, but was re- stored to Poland in 1305.

THE JTrNEY's DRAWBACKS.
1snringnad Unfon. ,

One drawback about the jttnsys, considered as 8 factor in the pubic convenience, Is that they are too much given to working established routes and too little inclined to pro vide service for sections that lack other facilities of transportation. Be ing out for the nickels, the jftney drivers go where the traffic is heaviest and seek to carry as many passengers as possible in a day. This has given rise in various cities to certain objectionable features. One is that jitneys race to beat one an other and the troIleys in arriving at terminal points or white posts. thus creating a new traffic peril in addi- ton to the increased congestion their operation produces in the principal thoroughfares. Another evil is mani fest in the overlooking of the jftneys, to which the operator of a small car is especially tempted, and the spec tacle of all seats filled and passen- gers standing in the car and on the running boards is exhibited, This has led to the enforcement of regu- lations forbidding drivers to carry more than their seating capacity in a number of municipalities A third danger to, press into service old cars, some of them so poor that they had been reIegated to disuse until the jit- ney fever arose Such cars are in danger of breaking down, and when run at fast-speed or in crowded thoroughfares they are a distinct menace These are some Of the vzor- ries that follow the advent of the jftney-

POLES WILL PRAY TODAY TO
 sTANIsLAs, PATRON SAINT.

What St. Patrick Is to the Irish, St. Stan1slas is to the unhappy Poles, and from that ravaged and devastated land there will ascend today a multi tude of prayers seeking the interces- sion of PoIand's patron saint. The seventh of May. the feast-day of St. Stanislas, will also be observed by the Poles on this side of the Atlantic, who will pray for their deso4ate fath- erland, now divided between three emperors and trampled beneath the feet of their. legions. The lot of Po- land in the present conflict is even worse than that of Belgium, for the Poles have been forced to fight and slay cath other, while the women and children left behind have been sunk into the very depths of misery and starvation. If Poland ever needed the intercession of it's patron saint, it needs it now.
 The remains of St. stanislas lie in a. tomb in the cathedral at Cracow, where sleep many of PoIand's kings and heroes, including Kosciusko, who fought in the American revolutions; John Sobiesl1t, the Polish king of the seventeenth century who saved Vien- na from the Turks and drove them back in utter rout to COnstantinopIe, and Count Ponitatowski, who, as Stanislas Augustus, was the last king to sit upon the throne of Poland.
 The patron saint of Poland lived in the eleventh century, and was long the Bishop of. .Cracow. He was sai q | to have been born in answer to prayer when his parents were past sixty, and out of gratitude they educated him for the church. BoIesIas H. the Intrepid, was then king or Poland He I was a brave and successful warrior 1 but given to wild excesses and cruelty. When he forcibIy carried of | the wife of one of his nobles and
