INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. May co.
An article In the North American Re-
view indicates that the problem of IL
literacy Ia rapidly passing from the
South, where 1t has long been most
common, to the states of the east and
northwest. In the last census per-
iod. from 1900 to 1910, the south
ern states cut their percentage of IL
literntes about twenty-five per cent,
while the eastern states not only
failed to reduce their percentage. but

in the South Is thought to come as q
result OF good public schools and the
increase in the eastern and north

flux OF foreigners to those regions.
These foreigners. the writer points
out. are not Chinese, Japanese or
Hindoo. but young white people who
will rear families and live in their
present homes for many years to
come. There are, says the News,

but all can be removed under suitable conditions
and by proper means. Our memory is potentially
almost perfect
We should all strive to improve the memory as
much possible, for upon 1t our very personality
depends If we had no memory we could have no
feeling of "self'-no feeling that we are the same
self we were yesterday And If we did not have
this feeling we should be Clover than the ami
mails" We may improve the memory by paying
strict attention to what is being said done, and
by trying to associate it with many other
things as possible which have interest for US, for
it has been said that Association is ninetenths
of memory" The more we forget the more we
tend to forget and the more we train the memory
the better it becomes. Like all else, it improves
with practice and habit.
Forgetting is at times very awkward; it leads
us into all sorts of social inconvenience. We
forget name, an address, word when we wish
most to remember it. These acts of forgetful-
ness seem at first perfectly erratic and spontane-
ous they seem to follow no law and be subject
to no fixed rule.
So, then, when we forget name or thing-or
by some error of speech writing give another
word for the right one-we nearly always
find out why this should be SO and uncover the
actual process involved by careful analysis of
the previous trains of thought and action. We
forget because we wish to forget 1t is a well
known fact that we tend to forget unpleasant
events more readily than we do pleasant ones.
That is because of this fact-because, in one
case, the memory is repressed, and in the other
it is not.

SPEAKS UP FOR CANADA
And No Misunderstanding His
Land He Made $3.50
Per Acre.

So many Americans now have per-
sonal knowledge of Canada that false
reports concerning this country are
being continually corrected by Amer
leans themselves who know the facts,
and who are too fair-minded to let a
false statement go unchallenged. A
case in point arises out of statement
supposed to be made by a resident of
Alberta, and published recently in the
Spokesman-Review, OF Spokane, in
which the condition Of settlers in this
country was painted in a very bad
way indeed. The writer of this at
tack on Canada refused to let his
name be known, so it can be taken
for what it is worth, but Mr.. S. L.
Wallace, of N 4723 Crestline, Spokane,
who lived for some years in Western
Canada, came to the defense of the
country in the following letter which
was published in the Spokesman-Re-
view OF February II, 1916
ITO the Editor of the Spokesman-Re-
view:
'In Sundays Spokesman-Review was
a letter from a man in Alberta to the
chamber of commerce, asking that
something be done to keep Americans
from going to Canada, and saying that
that government was run by the rail-
roads, banks and manufacturers; that
once man got there he never could
get away. Had this man published
that letter over his own signature
there is no doubt but he could get out
of Canada.
No country will DO as much to help
a man to get on his feet, if he tries to
help himself, as Canada. I know of
the government helping people to pro-
visions, feed, seed grain and fuel, and
charging only cost of delivery to the
nearest town and 6 per cent. What
more could a man ask?

katchewan and earned a patent to 800

For National Park Service

A bill is under consideration in congress to
establish national park service. The federal
government owns fourteen national parks with
der the Jurisdiction of the department of the in
terror. 1t also owns thirty-one national monu-
ments of which nineteen are in the department
Of the interior, ten in the department of agricu-
ture and two in the department. Under ex-
listing arrangements there has been no central
organization for the administration of these
splendid recreational possessions Each of the
fourteen national parks is under separate
management 1t is very desirable that these
parks be administered through general bureau
at the seat of government in Washington.
There is constantly increasing volume of
travel to the national parks, and it is necessary
that there should be central organization
which may furnish reliable information attrac-
lively prepared for the benefit of tourists to the
parks. Under the existing order of things very
little systematic work in this direction has been
possible With national park service, equipped
with facilities and competent corps of workers.
there might be developed fine bureau of in
formation, supplying to the general public the
things it wants to know about it's parks and
monuments. 1t is to be noted in this connection
that Canada, through its department of parks

West the Canadian parks attracted in the aggre-
gate more visitors than the parks of the United
States, thus affording a fine illustration Of what
the government in exploitation of its recrea,
tional areas can do.

Look and Feel
Clean, Sweet and
Fresh Every Day
Brink a glass Of real hot water
before breakfast to wash
out poisons.

Life is not merely to live, but to
well, sleep well, look well. What a
glorious condition to attain, and yet
how very easy it is if one will only
adopt the morning inside bath.
Folks who are accustomed to feel
dull and heavy when they arise, split
ting headache, stuffy from cold, foul
tongue, nasty breath, acid stomach,
can, instead, feel as fresh as a daisy
by opening the sluices of the system
each morning and flushing out the
whole of the internal poisonous stag
nant matter.
Everyone, whether ailing, sick or
well, should, each morning, before
breakfast, drink glass Of real hot
water with teaspoonful Of limestone
phosphate in it to wash from the
stomach, liver, kidneys and bowels the
previous days indigestible waste, sour
bile and poisonous toxins; thus cleans
ing, sweetening and purifying the en-
tire alimentary tract before putting
more food into the stomach. The &C
ton of hot water and limestone phos-
plate on an empty stomach is wonder
fully invigorating. 1t cleans out all the
sour lamentations, gases, waste and
acidity and gives one splendid ap-
petite for breakfast. While you are
enjoying your breakfast the water and
phosphate is quietly extracting large
volume of water from the blood and
getting ready for thorough flushing
Of all the inside organs.
The millions Of people who are both
cred with constipation, bilious spells,
stomach trouble, rheumatism; others
who have sallow skins, blood disor-
ders and sickly compilations are urged
to get quarter pound of limestone
phosphate from any store that handles
drugs which will cost very little, but
is sufficient to make anyone a pro-
nounced crank on the subject of in,
ternal sanitation.-Adv.

The Reason We Forget

Let me see, what was that name?"
Haven't we often heard that phrase one
very like it? Doesn't our memory often play
us tricks and cause to forget things we know
perfectly well-"as well as know my own name
in fact? There is a reason for this; for nearly
every case of loss of memory we find
cause. This discovery has recently been made
and is one of the most important advances which
psychology has made in the understanding of
mental life
Forgetting, of course in sense, is loss of
memory. How, first of all, do remember
things?
1t has been assumed by psychologists that ev-
cry event we experience leaves its trace in the
nervous substance of the brain, in much the same
way that trace is left upon the photographic
record by the scratch of the recording needle ii
the impression is "vivid"--that is, if it leaves
deep impression upon the nervous system-then
we remember it; if not, we forget it. AS the
brain disintegrates with age, the memories be-
come weak This is the doctrine usually as
sumed for the storage of our memories.
But psychologists have lately complained
against this materialistic view of the facts OF
late years Professor Henri Bergson, in particular.
