SCHOOL TEACHERS AND THE
HIGH COST OF LIVING.

Are you content to continue Ie'c'-
ing without any increase IN S&i"fE
when the cost Of living has more
than doubled in the past tWstVe
months? Or will you enter lhe
hrood field of business where the de-
mand for trained young men ana
women is the greatest In the MS
tory Of this nation? The commercial

have increased salaries in proper
ton. and bookkeeperS, StenogFaPhef'
and operators receive from $40 TO
500 per month for twelve months
in the year and receive advances
promptly as they progress IN eHper-
iooce and skill The increase III sal
arv in vacation amounts to a large
pajn over the teachers pay, ana the
expense of schooling is over after
the few months spent in a commercial
collage. Teachers salaries are Inn
tied. while business positions pay
salaries as large as the abilities OF
the employees justify. Salary and
ability seek their level in business
very quickly, because of the wide
spread demand for help. Can you
blame several thousand teachers VINO
are quitting the profession annually
70 enter commercial work where
they have an opportunity of mcrea5-
ing their earning power each year
and where their training fits them for
the responsible positions of life? Do
YOU know that, with only a small
cost in money and from three to five
months training, you can step into
q good paying commercial position?
Compare this with the time and
money which teachers must spend in
preparation before they can pe%in
earning, after which they are emp
ployed only six to nine months in
the year and spend what little money
they save to attend summer normal
during vacation. Make up your mind
now to spend your vacation this
summer in Americas commercial
training school and prepare yourself
to answer one of the many calls we
have daily for our students. Write
the Tyler Commercial College, Tyler,

ed catalogue and read what teach
ers who have attended this institu
ton say Of the many advantages it
offers to those who desire to enter

Proper Food for Weak Stomachs.

The proper food for one man may
be all wrong for another. Every one
should adopt a diet suited to his age
and occupation. Those who have
weak stomachs need to be especially
careful and should eat slowly and
masticate their food thoroughly. 1t
is also important that they keep
their bowels regular. When they
become constipated or when they
feel dull and stupid after eating,
they should take Chamberlain's Tab
let's to strengthen the stomach and
move the bowels. They are easy to
take and pleasant in effect.-Adv.

was that he and the war were 5000
miles apart. The secretary answered
every other criticism to the satisfac-
