Broader School Ideas One result of the war has been the direction of thought toward the American educational system from the elementary and secondary schools to the universities. The great conflict exposed in all their nakedness many evils which had not been recognized or had been permitted to exist because no one deemed it worth while to advocate and apply a remedy. The educational bill now pending in Congress is intended to rectify many of the palpable weaknesses of the elementary system. The very fact that a bill of such comprehensive scope had to be

It may be necessary one of these days to organize a society for the protection of the elementary school in order that that indispensable institution may have an opportunity to mind its own proper business. Reverting to the secondary schools, Dr. Butler cites an example of misapplied energy pertaining to the study of foreign languages. His stricture speaks for itself: It is a sorry commentary as to what is going on in our secondary schools and colleges in this respect to learn on the best authority that there are now in France young men who, after six months of military activity in France and, three or four hours of instruction a week in the French language, can carry on a comfortable conversation under ordinary conditions and circumstances, with a mastery of a vocabulary of at least a thousand words. On the other hand, many an American college graduate who has studied French for years is as awkward and nonplused in a Paris drawing room as he would be in the driver's Beat of an airplane. There will hereafter be marked impatience with the notion that one may spend an infedinite amount of time upon a foreign language without hoping or expecting

Commercial Club Members Urge Memorial For County Soldiers

Several different kinds of memorials which Wayne county may consider as fitting to erect in memory of her boys who have died ln the service of the United States were suggested by members of the Commercial club Wednesday evening at the regular membership meeting held ln the club rooms. An athletic field, and great stadium, a permanent Chautauqua pavilion to be erected ln Qlen Miller park, a convention house, pat terned after the great ones in St. Louis and Chicago; a memorial hall such as Dayton has were suggested. Superintendent J. H. Bentley, of the city schools, who had been requested to open such a discussion spoke briefly on the matter. "First of all," said Mr. Bentley, "the people of Wayne county either want this memorial, or they do not want it, and I am greatly in favor of taking the matter up and putting it through in the spirit of . the times and quickly, or dropping the whole affair." He emphasized especially the fact that the Commercial club is not try

ing to Sponsor a memorial project, or;

reserve the honor for such a performance, if one is established; but rather, he said, to start the thing, and then act in harmony with every other organization in the county which will be willing to take part.

' Other members of the club who dist cussed the matter were Howard A. ! Dill, Henry E. Bode, Charles Jordan, , C. B. Beck, John W. Mueller, Lee B. Nusbaum and William H. Bailey, who l made a motion that a legislative comi mittee be appointed to join other or

ganization of the state in making possible the building of a memorial through taxation. An amendment was suggested by J. H. Bentley to the effect -that this committee to be appointed by President Dill be empowered to add to itself representatives

from any other organization wanting j

Two out of town speakers also addressed the meeting. J. O. Van Osdol, president of the Union Traction company of Indianapolis, and secretary of the Anderson Chamber of Commerce, who spoke on "Readjusting Ourselves, and our Country," and J. F. Burton, field campaign manager of the State Chamber of. Commerce, who discussed some problems which he has observed in various parts of

: the state. i Van Osdol said, "we must be very careful in our work of readjustment. : TT'ia mi, at Tint toar rlnnrn nnr atabllcfl.

GLASS OF SALTS IF YOUR KIDNEYS HURT Eat Less Meat if You Feel Backachy or Have Bladder Trouble Salts Fine for Kidneys. Meat forms uric acid which excites and overworks the kidneys in their efforts to filter it from the system. Regular eaters of meat must flush the kidneys occasionally. You must relieve them like you relieve your bowels; removing all the acids, waste and poison, else you feel a dull misery in the kidney region, sharp pains In the back or sick headache, dizziness, your stomach sours, tongue Is coated and when the weather is bad you have rheumatic twinges. The urine is cloudy, full of sediment; the channels often get irritated, obliging you to- get up two or three times during the night. To neutralize these irritating acids and flush off the body's urinous waste get about four ounces of Jad Salts from any pharmacy; take a tablespoonful in a glass of water before breakfast for a few days and your kidneys will then act fine and bladder disorders disappear. This famous Baits is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined with lithia. and has, been used for generations to clean and stimulate sluggish kidneys and stop bladder irritation. Jad Salts Is Inexpensive; harmless and makea a delightful effervescent lithia-wate drink which millions of men and worn en. take now and then, thus avoiding serious kidney and bladder diseases. Adv.
