Common Sense
Arid A Tablet
Do Away. With Dyspepsia. Stomach
Trouble and Make Meals
a Pleasure.
When your stomach goes on a strike
and mass meetings of indignation are
held all over your body, then it is that
you should sit up and take notice.
It is clearly and only a question of
common sense is tnis ming called Dys
pepsia. Take away, by abuse, over eat
ing, excesses and high living, the thing
which the stomach needs and you have
dyspepsia and indigestion; then other
maladies follow those this, is common
sense.
The stomach Is willing enough but
you won't let it do its work. You take
away the materials which are so neces
sary for it to use.
Give back these materials and dys
pepsia and Indigestion flee and the
whole machinery of man begins slowly
to move and do Its work.
What the stomach needs is nerve
forge, fluids for its digestive glands.1
nourishment and Dower. All these ne
cessities it takes from j"fhe blood. Tf
dyspepsia gives nothing to the blood,
the blood gives nothing to the stomach.
This is common sense also, pure,
simple and unalloyed.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are com
mon sense pressed by high power into
tablets. In these tablets are powerful
essences which go Into the stomach,
digest food, stop gas making, prevent
decaying of food, enrich the gaatrio
Juices, are -absorbed by the blood and
thus give It strength to furnish a bet
ter fluid for digesting the next meal.
Every physician knows what comprise
these tablets: every druggist has the
same knowledge also. They are natural'
common sense digesters which do the
work for the stomach quickly and well.
Every drug store carries them. 60c per
package. Send us your name and ad
dress and we will send you a trial pack

erty to the state.
This Is made known In Leupp's report
to the house of representatives, naming

He recommends that the Grand Junc

OLD SCHOOL "KINKS"
TO BE KNOCKED OUT
Cube Root and, Useless Puzzles Face
x Elimination in Grammar Grades
Commission Decides.
Philadelphia, Dec. 16. Cube root and
aliquot parts, circulating decimals and
complex fractions. In fact, all the tor
turing nonessentials of arithmetic, will
be eliminated from public grammir
schools.
The code commission, appointed by
Governor Edwin S. Stuart to regulate
state school legislation, which is in ses
sion here at the Hotel Watson, put the
ban on superfluous educational kinks.
"Wo will recommend laws to simplify
education." said Martin O. Brumbaugh,
one of the members of the commission,
"and make it vocational rather than
uselessly technical.
"State Superintendent of Schools Na
than ( Schaeffer has been authorlxed
to revise the curriculum and set a min
imum standard of studies. History,
arithmetic, grammar and many other
subjects will be shorn of their terrors
for pupils.
"In teaching history the social devel
opment of the country will be empha
sized. All the bloody details of battles
will be omitted; the child will not have
to recite-a meaningless string of dates
and be required to know how many men
were killed and maimed on every battle
field. "In arithmetic a lot of superfluous
rule.f- ran be dispensed with that Inter
fere with the true understanding of the
subject. Grammar, too. can be simpli
fied For Instance, it is not necessary,
ia order to speak correct English, that
a person should know what a pronomi
nal adjective Is, or quote the rule on in
finitives used as nouns."
While simplifying grammar school
courses, the commission will insist on
rigid requirements for teachers' examina
tions, and will bring the country schools
up to the standard of those of the city.
Vocational education will be insisted on
and farm schools and manual-training
courses will be', recommended In rural
sections. , " ,
