Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets after
meal Sour risings, gassiness, a
heavy bloated feeling and such dis
tress due to indigestion or dyspep-
STA are usually only temporary. And
yet they may lead to serious disord-
er. The regular use Of Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets after meals re-
fleets to a high degree the intelli-
gent selection Of preventative meas
ures.
One cannot always select or in
spsct the quality of food to be eat
en- nor its method or manner Of
preparation. But 1t Is possible to
avoid the acidity that is so aften the
result. And it is a far better plan
to eat without worry over what may
happen, than to starve for fear It
will happen. Many physicians rec
ommend these tablets for stomach
distress due to Indigestion or dys-
pepsia.
They are sold by all druggists
everywhere at 60 cents a box.

OXFORD HIGH SCHOOL NOTES

DR.. Bell, of the University, gave
very interesting lecture to the MEM
bers of the Senior Economic Class
last Wednesday. His talk was along
the line of one of the four main dl-
visions of Economics, that is, EX-
change. After a brief explanation
of what the term Economics means,
he tried to impress upon the students
the Importance of this subject, which
he said, is growing more and more
important every day.: In his dis
cussion of Exchange. he divided it in
to three main periods. The first one
was when. only local or community
markets were in existence. That is.
when trade was carried on between
people of the same locality or COM
munity: The second period was when
trade was broadened and became
national. That is, when people In
neighboroing communities traded
with each other. The third period
was when trade was further broad
ened and became international, or
when the peoples Of different coun-
tries traded. He showed how de-
pendent all the peoples of the earth
today are upon each other for the
products of industry in several ways.
One of these ways was by pointing
out the fact that Gelmany's final de-
feat in the late war was caused by
starvation, when she was shut off
from the rest of the world and kept
from obtaining the products of the
rest of the world. He further stated
that the basic idea of present day
Economics is private or individual
ownership Of property. s-s-
Much to the disappointment of the
entire class his discussion had to be
closed at this point as the period was
at an end, and the class hopes that
he will soon make us, not only one,
but many more visits.
The Girls Reserve meets every
Monday afternoon at three o'clock.
