either huge foot. Writing in an Eng
lish newspaper, Burke thus described
it: Chaplin described to me the first
sudden conception of his figure of fun
the poor, ludicrous fool, of forlorn
attitudes, who would be a gentleman,
and never can; who would do fine and
beautiful things, and always does
them in the wrong way and earns
kicks in place of acceptance and ap-
proval. All other figures Of fun in
literature and drama have associates
or foils. Charlie in all his escapades,
is alone. He is the outcast, the exile,
sometimes getting a foot within the
gate, but ultimately being driven out,
hopping lamely, with ill-timed nom
chalanee, on the damaged foot"

Wives have precedence over them in

While many things, directly or in

avidity and food fermentation. Ex-
cess acid accumulates in the stomach
and turns the food into a souring,
f~ermenting mass whicE produces
painful gases and still more acid, and
is usually directly responsible for
Indigestion, dyspepsia heartburn,
acidity, flatulence, and gastritis.
Obviously you can not remedy
these disorders BY improving your
blood or nerves, nor by clearing your
system Of impurities. Excellent a.
these processes may be as conducive

Of that harmful stomach acid. To dc
this quickly, safely and surely, you
should take a little ~Pape's Diapep-
sin" after eating or when pain IS
felt. This not only gives quick re-
lief by instantly neutralizing stom-
ach acid. but soothes and heals your
acid-inflamed stomach lining.
"Pape's Diapepsin" Is sold BY all
druggists nc 60 cents a package, and
is used by millions because ii Is not

BOY n GIRL IN HIGH
SCHOOL EARN $1.25 A DAY

"a study made by the United States Board of
education before the war shows that a boy or
girl cannot afford to stop high school or grade
school for less than 1925 per day" was the as.
sertion of ]. R.. Barton, superintendent of
schools, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. The high
school graduate makes enough more than the non
graduate to pay him than much per day while
still in school. The college graduate makes
enough more than the non-graduate to pay him
S55.55 to remain in school.
"Taken vocationally the advantage is appar-
ent. The educated individual can select the call
ing he is best fitted for. He is not obliged to be
content with what ever he can get. No doors are
closed to the high school graduate when is comes
to entering a professional school of any kind, but
the doors are hard to open for those who have
not a high school certificate.
"Who's Who" is generally conceded to be a
list of those who have been of dist nguished ser
vice to society and to their country. 1t is inter
esting to note that the chances of success for the
grade school graduate, as shown by statistics
complied from "Who's Who are one in 1850,
those of the high school graduate one in 1000.
those of the college graduate one in 160, and
