The HOME OF THE SOUL.

In olden times. it was believed
that the seat of the soul was the
stomach. most likely for the rea
son that a man is never so com
pletely used up as when his
stomach is out of order For the
cure of ordinary stomach trouble
there is nothing quite so prompt
and satisfactory as Chamberlains
Tablets. They strengthen the
stomach and enable it to perform
its functions naturally. Give
them trial They only cost
quarter.

Education Week,
Nation Wide, SET
For December SO

WASHINGTON, Nov. 14.-Spon-
sored by the Bureau of Education,
'he National Education association,
and the American Legion, q drive to
assist educators and educational
means and methods will be conduct
ed in December from the second TO
the ninth OF the month. Governors
of the states and the people in the
states are to be called to action in
favor of education by a presidential
proclamation, according to plans
made public by the Hon. j. ]. Tigert
commissioner Of education. Each
day of the campaign is to be dedi-
Gated to some one particular educa-
tional work.
One OF the results hoped for from
the drive is an increased public con-
sciousness of the need of more mon
ey spent on the school. Speaking
of this, Dr.. Frank Ballou, sunerin-
tendent of schools in the nations
capital, says:
"The financial resources provided
for public education are not suffic-
lent to do more than maintain the
educational standards existing be-.
fore the war. The war revealed edu-
cational conditions which demand
larger appropriations for public edu-
cation. There is real danger that
the financial burdens of the the war
are likely to be visited upon the pub
lie now in our schools through re-
duced educational opportunities for
them.
"The last federal census showed
there We're 4,931,9O5 illiteraes in
the United States. OF these 3,0S4.-
74S were native born. These fig
ures are not so much an evidence
of failure to do well what the school
system undertook to do, but rather
failure to make the educational sys-
tenn as comprehensive as it ought to
be-"
