WAR MAY DEVELOP NATIONAL LOYALTY IN ITALIAN BREAST ROME, Italy, Dec. .Correspondence of The Associated Press) Some changes in the Italian education system after the war ar proposed by the minister of public 'Instruction, Leonardo Bianchl, himself a former professor who says that the public school and university must be readapted to the life of the nation. ' "Let us hope," he says, "that the war will bring us a clearer national conscience and more proper conception of the application of science to education. " - . - "In the past the university has been used too exclusively for purely professional careers, without taking account of the vast growing activities of humanity. The future of the world He along material - lines, and these universities must do their share in Industrializing science. Suppress Examinations. "One immediate necessity is that of suppressing examinations, which have always had a tendency to destroy, to dull, the ends of higher study to make them too formal. Universities must also become character-builders, must tench that intelligence without ideas of duty, of personal perserverance and energy, is useless. . In the New World, during the present evolution of science and' .industry, it-. s clearer that the crnllty cf character has assumed a prTTjrleia'.lng importance. v "Likewise, in the public schools one f cur tasks wfll be to teach that in rt'TPfcle fcr Ufa only tho honest viitcry i3 worthwhile." ! , .

th ipu zip me -r kfVup ' ikMfeAl "AC C ASXDtf Patent Office. 7 GENTS A MEAL IS AVERAGE COST AT BEREA COLLEGE BEREA, Ky., Dec. 27. In order to prove that the cost of living has not reached every part of the country, Berea College, in the Kentucky mountains, is responsible for the statement that its fourteen hundred students are fed at a cost of seven cents per meal, that they gained "several tons" in weight and that the boarding hall made a net gain of $559.49. In explaining this record President Frost of the College refers first to the economy of numbers, some fourteen hundred students being in constant attendance in the five departments. Another explanation of the ' seven cent meal is the fact that most of the students are accustomed to plain fare, so that they almost unanimously choose to go without tea, coffee and butter to reduce expenses. To offset these omissions the "balance ration" has been introduced on the assumption that it is just as important for students as "for any other live stock." DEAL IN TIN CANS FORT WAYNE, Ind., Dec. 27. Fort Wayne city officials are thinking of going into dealing in old tin cans. Many tons of cans are hauled from the back yards and alleys in Fort Wayne each year. Since announcement has been made here that there will be a market for the old cans in Chicago at $6 a ton, the city officials are thinking of adding to the city's revenue by selling instead of dumping them with ashes and, other refuse. Some of the city officials say they believe the cost of collecting the cans, and incidently other trash might be defrayed from the sales.' The old cans, "it is said,' can be melted and the tin and metal thus obtained used for other purposes. ST. PAUL'S SCHOOL RE-ELECTS BARTEL Election of officers for the St Paul's Lutheran Sunday school shows the following results, according to announcement made today by the Rev. F. W.

TIEN-TSIN SEIZURE LEADS TO HOPELESS DIPLOMATIC MUDDLE PEKING, Dec. 27. (Correspondence of The ' Associated Press). France and China have become involved in a hopeless diplomatic muddle as a result of the forcible seizure by France of an addition to its concession in Tien-Tsin on October 21, as previously reported in these dispatches. Sir John Jordan, the British minister and dean of the diplomatic corp3 at Peking, attempted to bring about a compromise by . proposing to convert the disputed territory, which consists of about S50 acres, into a Sine-French settlement to be administered jointly by the French and the Chinese. The Chinese press and much of the Chinese public opposed such a settlement, and criticism of the French officials was so harsh that the negotiations came to an end. The British minister has left for England on a four months' vacation, and the TienTsin dispute is at a standstill. Spasmodic runs have been made by Chinese on French banks both in Peking and Tien-Tsin, and many of the Chinese newspapers are advocating a general boycott against the French.

Overloading The Stomach Causes Incomplete Digestion, Weakens the System, and Breeds Dyspepsia. Trial Package of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets Free. Gluttony is as vile a sin as drunk enness and its evil results are more terrible and far more rapid.' The human system turns into the stomach and alimentary canal from 7 to 35 pounds of digestive fluid every twentyfour hours. Cram your stomach with food and you exhaust these juices. If your stomach cannot digest the food because it lacks juices to do it with, you should either eat less or make more gastric fluids. Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets contain ingredients one grain of which, will digest 3,000 grains of food. With Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets in your stomach the evil effects of overeating are removed, for these little tablets which dissolved stick to the food and digest all the good from it They won't abandon the stomach and leave a mass of decaying undigested food to putrify and irritate the mucous membrane lining. They give greater quantities of gastric fluid, help the intestines enrich the blood, prevent constipation, and gluttony, while sinful, may yet be made less harmful by the use of these tablets. Every druggist ' carries them in stock; price 50 cents per box, or send up your- name and address and we will send you a trial package free by mail. Address, F. A.
