at the bottom Of it.
The true way to correct acidity and
intestinal putrefaction is by introducing
oxygen into the stomach. Oxygen, az
medical science knows, is a marvellous
antiacid and internal antiseptic. And
now it Is possible to introduce oxygen
into the stomach by means of an amaz-
ing, harmless white tablet, called Mag
nesia Oxoids. Developed in Germany by
the worlds foremost pharmaceutical
house, Magnesia Oxoids stand as one of
the great medical discoveries of all time!
Upon contact with the stomach acids
these tablets liberate nascent or active
oxygen. The oxygen checks excess acid

TEACHERS WILL
FIGHT TO WIPE
out ILLITERACY
State Sponsoring Plan for
Free instruction Through
Township Schools.

A new plan whereby teachers in
township schools will instruct litter
ates Of all ages in an attempt to wipe
out illiteracy in Indiana, is being
worked out in the office of George
&. Cole, superintendent of public
instruction.
First report on the plan was made
today by Grover c. Van Duyn, as
sistant superintendent, in charge of
the fight against illiteracy.
Van Duyn declared the present
move to cut teachers salaries is
not sound from either economic or
ed tional standpoints, but he did
believe teachers could put in more
time on such work as stamping out
illiteracy.
There is no reason why any
person in Indiana should not be
taught to read and write, regard
less Of their age" Van Duyn de-
clared.
I'VE are having statewide
meeting Dec. 10 of various groups
interested in stamping out the
stigma of illiteracy."
Statistics compiled by the national
committee were discussed at state
committee meeting earlier in the
week, They disclose there are AZ, 721
persons in the state, over 10, who
can not read or write.
Of this number, 22,51O are native
born, white; 1886 foreign born,
white; 5,605 Negroes and 2,O7O other
colored races. Lake county has tho
largest lumber, 1915, and Marion
county is second with 4.O76.
