PRINCIPAL RESIGNS .. =.
TO TEACH CITIZENSHIP
ON ISLAND OF MAUI
fspeci,l et,r. Builetin oorrespondsnos)

WATLURU,r Feb. 2. - Yesterday
Clarence a. Macdonald, principal OF
1.-THE Lahainalupa school, resigned his
| position to become the director of the
tcitizenship work of Maui county un'
der the Maui Aid Association.
Macdonald came from the Kameha'
meha Schools In Honolulu, where he
had taught six years, to take the prin.
Icipalship of the Lahainaluna school.
He was called to this position IL years
ago, and came to the school when ii
was in a much rundown Condition. By
dint OF the hardest kind OF work he
| built UP the school until~it had the
entire confidence of the Hawaiian
people who have sent their sons in
large numbers to the school.
BY his special training as a teacher
and his intimate knowledge Of the Ha-
waiians in the islands, Macdonald is
peculiarly fitted for the new position
that has been created on Maui. This
work of directing the classes In Am
erican citizenship Is most important.
Classes were organized some six
months ago on Maui for the purpose
OF carrying on citizenship training for
the foreigners here, especially those
Who. being born In Hawaii, VIII have
the right to vote. The work was UNI
dertaken on Oahu and Kauai some
time ago. The Maui citizenship COM
mittee has been In close touch with
these organizations and has slowly
built up the work Of the same nature
here on this island. The result is
that classes are being asked for on
all sides and the demand for training
on the part Of these future citizens
Is now so great that the citizenship
committee decided that one mans
time was needed for this undertaking.
Macdonald vas the only person
sought for this position, and his &C
.ceptance Of it has been received with
much pleasure by the trustees of the
Maui Aid Association. who held a
meeting on January 20 to call him to
the position. His resignation will
take effect April 1, at which time he
will be free to undertake the work
just offered him. He will probably
reside in WaiIuku, which will be his
Headquarters. k-sS

STOMACH TROUBLES
DUE TO AclDlTY
so SAYS EMINENT SPECIALIST

So-called stomach troubles, such as
Indigestion, wind, stomaeh-ache and
inability to retain food are in prob
ably nine cases out Of ten sim.
ply evidence that fermentation is
taking place in the food contents of
the stomach, causing the formation
Of gas and acids. Wind distends the
stomach, and causes that full, oppres.
siye feeling sometimes known as
heartburn, while the acid initiates and
inflames the delicate lining of the
stomach. The trouble lies entirely IN
the fermenting food. Such fermen.
tation Is unnatural, and acid lorna
ton is not only unnatural, but may in.
yolve most serious Consequences IL
not corrected. To stop or prevent fer
mentation of the food contents OF the
stomach and to neutralize the acio

teaspoonfuI Of bisurated magnesia,
probably the best and most effective
corrector of acid stomach known
should be taken in quarter OF 3
glass OF hot or cold water immediate

mentatlon, and neutraliZes the acidity
in a few moments. Fermentation.

Flaketown Graphite Company Making Large Shipments of Ore-Old Sol diers in Great Need of Clothing and Bedding-Work Is Progressing on Chiffon Roads

l Clanton, November 20.-{Special)-The i The Flaketown Graphite company is ship
 ping continuously large quantities Of l graphite from it's mines. which are To-
 cated on Chestnut creek. three miles
 north of Mountain Creek station, and a l few miles from Verbena.
 ! The shipments of graphite are made
 from the stations mention. The Flake | town company is now running with a full force of men on full time and at
 the works a day and night force is em- ployed
 1 The graphite is bringing big prices at
 present, as much as 27 to 30 cents per pound being realized, where two years
 ago the product was on the market at 6 and cents.
 l The company officers are not very com municative; they know that they have got a good thing and they are guarding
 to some extent publicity. It is believed here that much of this graphite is shipped to government munition plants. There is considerable talk of another I mine being opened up soon. This new
 mine is said to be located on property owned by MT Joseph Van Derveer, Sr., of Clanton, near Lock F. MT. Van Derveer admits that a graphite deposit has been found on his land and says that soon matters will be considered by him looking to the development of this , graphite deposit
 I It is fact that at the Alabama Old Soldiers Home near Mountain Creek the old veterans are very much in need of clothing and bed covering. The advance in prices during the past two years of from 25 to 100 per cent makes it im- possible for the commandant pr. D. J.. Eiland, to feed and clothes the old men | and women on the appropriations made by the legislature several years ago. Ap- peals are being made to the United Daughters of the Confederacy chapters to , come to the rescue and help these worthy old people who stood up for Alabama 50 years ago during the Civil war, and are today shivering owing to the scarcity i of needful article to keep them warm and comfortable while the chilly winds of 1917 strike their feeble bodies Parties desiring to assist can write Dr.. D. J. Eiand. commandant, Soldiers Home, Mountain Creek. Ala.
 Great quantities of dressed lumber ara being shipped to north and middle west states from this point. A recent ship
 ment of large quantity was made by John w. Stanfield to Montreal, Canada. Stock, cattle and hogs are in fine shape In this section and soon there will be "a hog killing time' all over this portion of Alabama.
