There is a much closer connection

his close connection that indigestion,

other stomach miseries-sl of which
IRE sure signs OF acid stomach-are so
often followed by severe attacks OF
binding, splitting headaches.
Nervousness, sleeplessness, irritable

many other disorders which affect the

10 the same e-acid-stOmach.
So often YOU hear people say 81 am

or 'Itseems l never get a good nights

stomach is the direct cause of their
troubles because very often there are
no pains in the stomach at all. So you
see, You can't always judge an acid
stomach condition by the way your
stomach, itself, feels.

Jacob Loeb, president Of the board
81 education in Chicago.
THE advantages Of the training.
from the standpoint Of health. cOur-
age and manliness. are obvious" ne
said THE boys have entered the
thing with great enthusiasm.
Considera Bile opposition to the sys-
tenn has developed among sympa-
thizers OF the Boy Scout and similar
organizations and the subject has
caused wide discussion in education
"a circles The American School,
published for the benefit OF dele
yates 10 department meeting of the
National Education association
meeting here. carried an editorial
characterizing the method as mill
1ary child labor" Copies OF the ed
torial. which was written by c. G.
Pearse. assistant superintendent of
the Milwaukee Normal school, have
been furnished 20 all superintendent
who attended the convention.
Referring TO a recent parade OF
the boys, the editorial compliments
their discipline. but adds: ITO those
who remember the parade OF a por-
ton OF the Black Hawk division re-
Gently. and those who have seen
troops OF Boy Scouts on parade or
Oh hike. there viii come the thought,
how much more appropriate the
army uniform and the marching for
nation and step are for lusty young
men from 90 TO % years than for
sallow little boys like those who
passed in parade.
And those who have seen the free
step OF the hiking scout and his fine
spirited carriage on parade will have
little hesitation in deciding which
