FRENCH AND SPANISH
CLUBS FORMED
Many Novelties Planned

Under the direction of Professors
Levine and Brinton of the University
Faculty a "Circle for the Study of
the Romance Languages" is about to
take life in University affairs. The
object of the clubs will be to speak as
much Spanish and French as is hui
manly possible under the handicap of
being an American and to indulge in
tasty refreshments later. The plans
in brief are these: A Spanish Club
and a French Club are each to be or
ganized in both student bodies and
will meet separately every fortnight.
On one evening, the last Friday in
the month to be exact, there will be
held a combined "soiree" at some
designated place. Just what "soiree"
includes is perhaps a little dim to the
average student, but it sounds mighty
good at that.
Further tentative plans call for
several evenings of music, a French
or Spanish play and other features to
amuse the eye and ear. By the way,
any student member of the club may
bring a guest to the "soiree," provid-
ing he has an appetite for tomales or
French verbs.

TOMRS. LOUISE MCKAY BELONGS The
CREDIT FOR SOLDIERS RELIEF BILL

The following from The Times-Un-
ion of Sunday will be of interest not
only in Polk county but throughout
the country:
Mrs. Louise Mckay, of Winter Hav-
en-, passed through Jacksonville last
week enroute home from Washington
where she spent several months in
the interest of the passage of the
soldiers relief bill 9633 recently sign
ed by the president. She was accom-
panied by her son, Lawrence N Nc
Kay, who has the first patent under
this law, issued and signed by presi-
dent Warren G. Harding.
Commended by members of the Am
erican Legion and others familiar
with the conditions for her work in
connection with this bill Mrs. Mckay
is happy not only because of its eff
feet on her son but because it will
clear the road for many another sol
dter, giving to all veterans of the
world war their priority rights.
Mrs. Mckay talks enthusiastically
of the efforts to secure the passage of
the soldiers relief bill 9633, now law
1877.
This bill was introduced in 1919,
amended December 10, 1921, and in

Springfield Citizens Worthily
H0n0red Lincoln's Memory.
Writer Who Knew the Great President
Commends Placing OF Tablets
at Points of interest.

Springfield citizens have discharged
q duty which the nation has owed to
future generations. They have re-
called the memory of Abraham Lin
coins life in Springfield by placing
thirteen bronze tablets at places made
historic by events in Lincoln's career
while he resided there. writes Henry
B. Rankin in the New York Tribune.
These tablets bear his name and tell
of the events that transpired at the
various places and dates. The bronze,
the designs and the workmanship
represent the best quality of memorial
art.
To younger citizens who never knew
him and to the thousands of visitors
who are attracted to Springfield only
because it was the home of Lincoln,
these tablets will be most revealing
of his presence in the Illinois capital.
These memorials are living embodi-
ment of the Lincoln spirit in Spring
field and are as appealing and more
voieefu than even his tomb. He still
lives at Springfield now in daylight

Millions of people have not only
been relieved of the most obstinate
forms of dyspepsia and Indigestion by
Tanlac after other remedies have
failed, but large numbers of them
have reported remarkable and rapid
increase in weight and return to nor
NAL health and strength by its use.
In fact, SO phenomenal have been
the gains in weight by thin, frail peo-
pie through the use of Tanlac that
this remarkable preparation is now
being proclaimed everywhere as the
Worlds Greatest Tonic.
The food people eat does them alb
solutely no good unless they digest it
properly. When you suffer from in
digestion and other forms of stomach
trouble. the food does you harm in
stead of good, because food which is
not digested stays in the stomach and
ferments, causing pains, swelling, gas
on stomach, shortness of breath, bad
taste in the mouth, dizziness and
many other disagreeable symptoms.

Ireland's New Position in British En-
pire Likely to Bring Change

Among the lesser and more senti-
mental sacrifices the British feel they
are making for Irish peace, there is
the prospect of the changed Union
Jack.
The diagonal red cross in the Union
Jack stands for Ireland The original
national flag was the banner of St.
George, a plain red cross on a white
background. In 1906 the Scottish flag,
white diagonal cross and a blue
background, was blended with the
white upright cross, with blue
background of the diagonal white cross
being added
On the death of Charles the cross
of st. George again became the ma
tional flag, but in 1T06, after the
union with Scotland, the cross stand
ard with the blue background was
restored. In 1901 the red cross of St
Patrick was superimposed on st. An
drew's cross, making the present
onion Jack.
