NOT MATTER OF KNOWLEDGE
Person May Be Thoroughly CONVEX
SAINT With Facts, and Yet Re-
main Ignorant.

Some people think that ignorance Is
merely an accumulation of facts. But
that hypothesis reveals lack of i'm
agination. Ignorance, any more than
knowledge, is not concerned with
facts. 1t is concerned quite largely
with feeling, and feeling is the prod
uct of ones general intelligence.
The Huns had plenty of facts at
their disposal, but they were ignorant.
Their feeling was not intelligently dis
tributed over certain areas of their ma
tional consciousness.
This is true, more or less, of all of
us, Thomas l.. Mason writes in the
Outlook. When we are truly ignorant,
it Is a case of arrested development in
certain directions. A man who has
not brought up family may have at
his call all the statistics about fami-
lies. But he is truly ignorant IN the
sense of not being developed in the
feelings that intimate contact with
ones family produces.
To have knowledge of a particular
thihS 10 SiihP'y w nave SoHiC III SVh-
tact with IL in such manner that
ones feeling has been aroused about
it.
We acquire knowledge largely by
contemplation and meditation. But
the thing we are learning about must
impose itself upon us in such a way
that we are forced to understand 1t
through our feelings and not our
minds.
There is nothing harder to overcome
than ignorance. 1t must be beaten to
standstill. We have done this TO the
Huns. We must now conclude our
moral contract by bringing them into
contact. with the right things.

One OF the worst features of acid
stomach is that very often 1t literally
starves it's victims In the midst or
plenty. And the strange thing about
il Is that the people with acd-stOmachs
seldom know what their trouble
really Is.
No matter how good or wholesome
the food may be, or how much they
eat, they do not gain In strength.
This is clearly explained by the fact
that an acid-stomach cannot properly
digest food. Instead Of healthy. nor
NAL digestion. the excess acid causes
the food to sour and ferment. Then
when this mass Of sour. fermented
food. charged with excess acid, passes
into the intestines. 1t becomes the
breeding place for all kinds of germs
and toxic poisons. which in turn are
absorbed into the blood and In this
way distributed throughout the entire
body. And that is exactly why IL is
that so many thousands OF people eat
and eat and keep on eating and yet
are literally starving In the midst OF
plenty. Their acid-stomachs make II
absolutely impossible for them to get
the full measure of nourishment out
OF their food. And II doesn't take
long for this poor nourfshment to show
its m effects in weakened, enact
ated body.
You may say: my stomach doesn't
hurt me-" That may be true because
many victims of acid-stomach do not
actually suffer stomach pains. Then
again. there are millions who do suffer
all kinds of aches and pains--head-
aches. rheumatic twinges. govt. lum-
bago, pains around the heart and In
the chest--who never dream that an

easy way to do this. A wonderful new
remedy quickly removes the excess

1t is EATONIC. Made In the form
of tablets-they are good TO eat-,ust

absorb the injurious excess acid and
carry II away through the intestlnes.
They also drive the bloat out of the

Of EATONIC from your druggist. See

bloated. lumpy feeling after eating and
other stomach miseries. Danish all
your stomach troubles so completely
that you forget you have stomach.
Then You can eat what you like and
digest your food in comfort without
fear of distressing after effects.
If EATONIC does not relieve you.
II will not cost you one penny. You
can return II TO your druggist and get
your money back. So II you have the
slightest question about your health

SOCIAL SERVICE AND SOCIAL
EQUALITY.

Some one has we'll said Social
equality is a private question which
may well be left to individual deci-
sion" 1t is unfortunate, and even
strange, that so many American white
people are frightened, and thrown in
a frenzy by the use of the term so
cial equality"
Shrewd southern politicians, when
all alse has failed, know how to create
a furore of indignation; they describe
the most impossible scenes of race
relationship and the outcome. The
politically democratic South is OBJ
viously most undemocratic in public
public advisedly-ensistence of class
distinctions. There is in their attitude
uncalled or elements that create fric'
