spoke on the same theme, but from a

Rapid Eating Given As Real
Cause of Most
Cases.
The board of public works held a
short meeting this morning. There was
no special business of importance, with the exception of that allowing the regular weekly bills.
The hurried bolting of imperfectly
chewed fopd is now known to be the primary cause of the chronic and ag
gravated form of indigestion known
as dypepsia.
Specialists say that there Is one reliable way to treat Indigestion and
dyspepsia eat slowly, shun rich foods, and take a neutralizing elixir
or cordial to correct acidity and aid nature in getting rid of such infectious germs as the food may contain.
A good neutralizing elixir can be
made up at home as follows: Get
from your druggist Is ounce sodium phosphate and an ounce essence of sealmint. Mix this thoroughly in a
half pint bottle with teaspoonful baking soda, adding pure water to fill
the bottle. Take two teaspoonfula before each meal. It ic claimed by those
who have tried lt that this simple mixture will stop fermentation at
once and give quick relief from gas.
There is reason to believe that it has
permanently cured many obstinate
cases of dyspepsia. Any one is free to use this formula and make up the medicine for himself at home. Certainly it is well worth the trying, especially since all the ingredients can be had at any druggist's at a cost of , about 60 or 65 cents.
Shipped to Laporte. The body of Mathlas Fox, who died
last Monday evening at the home of his
daughter, Mrs. John Walsh, 323 State

Praise Weather.
The present blizzard served to em
phasize the fact that this has been a
remarkably open winter. This has
been especially appreciated by the
contractors who have been able to work practically all of the winter as though no colder weather was expected. ' Contractor John H. McClay, who has been working on the addition to St. Margaret's hospital, says that he has never seen a winter like it. Construction work of all kinds is greatly advanced as a result of the clemency of the weather.

Of all jumping to conclusions the record long-distance Jump is made in the common assumption that all of an education can be gained In the schoolroom. This is one of the mo.t harmful of popular delusions. Every pupil, who entertains this Idea, is blinded to the true purposes and uses of the school. Learning does not make character. It is not the parent of either virtue or wisdom. Strike from history the names of all unlearned men and you will make a sweeping reduction in the glory of the race.

the first day of the sale. The crowds were almost Just as large today and would probably have been larger than the one of yesterday had the weather been more agreeable. Everybody seems to have waited for the opening of this sale.
Early this morning the store was filled with customers from all parts of the city who were anxious to get In before the rush started and make their purchases of the many bargains which are offered there. The improvement in the weather promises even greater crowds for the rest of the week and Kaufman & Wolf expect, before the sale is over, to have disposed of the most goods that was ever sold out of the store in a similar length of time. The clerks in the stores are being assisted by additional ones and the innovation of having their launch brought
to them during sale week so that they would not have to go out to dinner is
one of the interesting things about the
