MARSHALL WILL BE AVAILABLE, IN CASE LIGHTNING STRIKES
WASHINGTON, Jan. 8. Vice
President Marshall will not beat bash
es for delegates to the Democratic na
tional conrentlon and will not become
an active candidate tor the presidency but nevertheless he 'will be "avail
able" should there be a call when the convention assembles early next summer. " .. .- . The vice president's attitude toward the presidency. was stated In an Interview given by Edward O. Hoffman, personal and political friend of Mr. Marshall, and the Indiana member of the Democratic national committee. It is known that he had a conference with the vice president before he made his statement. "Vice President Marshall will not be an active candidate for president, but
he will be available," said Mr. Hoffman. "Mr. Marshall has grown in the country's estimation until he enjoys popularity everywhere. The fact that he will not personally seek the presidency will by no means remove his name from consideration." Thomas Taggart recalled Mr. Marshall's recent statement at Indianapolis that he will not be a candidate for president or any other office, but he said that Indiana Democrats will gladly seize any opportunity that might come to make him the presidential nominee; - The national committeeman of an eastern state, while asking that his name be withheld for the present, declared that he. would "rather have Marshall for the presidential nominee than any one else mentioned."

$400,000,000 Drive to Save Schools Announced by KeUy Friends' colleges of the United
States, including Earlham, . are to get
$7,500,000 of the Inter-Church world
movement's fund of $400,000,000, for
the smaller colleges of this country.
Definite plans were announced in
Chicago Wednesday, by Dr. Robert
L. Kelly, former Earlham president, executive secretary of the Association of American eoleges.
About 400 colleges are to benefit by
the fund, on an average of $1,000,000
each, for larger salaries for professors. Improved equipment and endowment
puryoses.
The funds are not to be used in any way for secretarian propaganda, the
doors of the institutions being open to students of any and all faiths or no faith at alL . "It Is truly a campaign to save the American colleges," sair Dr. Kelly today. "Many are on the verge of closing their doors because of inability to pay living salaries to professors and keep up their equipment. "When Harvard, Princeton and our great universities feel the pinch sufficiently to
require campaigns for additional endowment running Into tens of millions
of dollars in order to pay running expenses, it isn't hard to realize the des
perate plight of the small colleges,
which turn out much of the best citi
zen material of America."

Don't Pamper Your Stomach
Fear of Dyspepsia Robs the Entire System of Necessary Nutriment. Eat a Diversified Meal and With Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets You Will Avoid the Distress of Indigestion. Just because the stomach sours with gaBSiness, heartburn, water -brash and such distresses afte eating, is not a good reason for depriving the system of nourishment. Instead of Indigestible and innutritious bran and skim milk try the better plan of eating what you like and follow your meals with Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets. They digest food, they assist the stomach to secrete juices that keep the stomach sweet, active and with the alkaline effect, just as when the stomach is in per
fect health. Nor is it necessary to discriminate. You may eat freely of onions, sausage, mince pie and baked beans, or other dishes, such as the average dyspeptic views with horror, and suffer no distress If you follow with Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets. There is thus no need to fear any kind of food at any time or place, for with these tablets, you may prevent those distresses that formerly made you pamper your stomach as if it were a tender infant. You can get Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets in any drug store at 60 cents a box. Adv.
