Charged with
Laziness-
Guilty Simply of Aciditp!

More than one man today is mis-
judged and unjustly penalized because
of not understood physical condition
rather than any lack of willingness or
ability.
So many Of us are only half our
selves, only fifty per cent efficient, be-
cause we are victims of an insidious
condition of acidity! That persistent
tired feeling-that clouded mind-that
lack of dash and fire-that missing
punch that decides so many situa-
tions in business-are all usually due
to an acid system.
Acidity is brought on by our unnat-
ural eating, excessive smoking and ir-
regular hours. 1t impairS digestion
and causes fermentation and putre-
faction in the intestines and drags us
down physically and mentally.
A remarkable new corrective Of
acidity has been developed by a ia
nous 100 ! year old Pharmaceutical
house in Germany.
This new, improved magnesia comes
in the form of small white tablets
called Magnesia Oxoids which do not
have to be chewed, but. may be swal-
lowed whole.

have been asked to cooperate
with the school. It has been the
practice Of the court In the past
in connection with minor Of.
fenseS to suspend sentences or &C
cept personal bonds from Of
tenders where there was indica.
tiOn that the infraction would
not be repeated.
The suggestion Is that the court,
in suspending a sentence or &C
cepting a PERSONAL bond. does so
with the understanding that the
offender will attend the classes
Of the school, or to continue the
cases for trial until they have
taken the course of instruction.
Such action, it is pointed out,
would not require additional legis-
lation or constitute an extension
of the judicial prerogatives exer.
cised at this time.
Ignorance Is Cause
More than half of the traffic
offenses with which the Wash
ington police have had to deal
in the last two years have been
due primarily to ignorance or
lack of information of some
basic rule or safety precautlon.
Many of the offenses have been
unintentional. or due to the mis-
understanding of the meaning
of a rule or regulation.
The belief of the traffic Off
cials is that the school will fill
a long-felt need in providing an
agency where vehicle operators
not only can acquaint themselves
with rules and regulations, but
learn the rudimentS Of safe use
Of the streets.
Instructors of the school will
be drawn from the ranks Of the
officials of the traffic bureau
and of the office of the Corpora
ton Counsel. Outside individuals
who have made a study of traffic
problems and safety, both in
Washington and other cities, will
be used as far as feasible in the
instruction work.

SCHOOL HEADS
CRITICIZED BY
SUPT. CRANE
Declares They Shouldn't Ask
Parent Teachers to Buy
Equipment for Buildings

Criticism of local school officials
for making demands on the par
ent-teacher association for school
equipment was made today by
Jere J. Crane, assistant superin-
tendent, in his address to the Par
ent.Teacher Institute in the In
terror Department building.
Addressing the group in their
first meeting of the year on the
legitimate use of parent-teacher
funds, Mr.. Crane pointed out that
the organization had been called
upon to make expenditures for
which it was not in their province
to expend money.
Expenses Criticized
The school official declared
that, inasmuch as the parent
teacher group Is essentially an or
ganiZatiOn for the betterment of
child welfare, it should not be
asked to spend its funds for equip
ping school buildings.
Money for school equipment, he
said, should come from the ap-
propriationS made by Congress to
the public school system.
The conference, presided over
by Mrs. Louis T. de Valliere,
fourth vice president Of the Ma.
tional Congress of Parents and
Teachers, was called to make
plans for the ensuing school year.
