"Whit is your child's chance in the world going to be?" asks 'the Rich-mondHigh.-school upon .the eve of its spring semester. ls your,son or daughter to have the biggest chance through an education, or the smallest for lack of it? The answer -lies -with the parents and children. 'A new semester opens on Jan. 26. Is your child to be .there making the most of-his or her youth? There is a chance that you have de
cided-long ago that your child will go to High school, and exactly what he or she would take. Perhaps the mistake made many times in forcing a young person into a distasteful course of work is yours. " why not let your child lateji. look at, the immense field in the modern high school, which has been called the "People's College." The child is just as likely not to succeed in ' mathematics because his
lather did as he is to make a big sue- j
cess of it.' His elementary school training should have paved the way Fomewhat to his inclination ; when he reaches high school the all important question, is in getting a correct procram planned for his needs. -. What's He Going to Do? One of the most important decisions 1s what 'the high school freshmen is foing -to do when he gets out of echool. It it industry, commerce, college,, and if college, what after that? Courses which will prepare a boy or girl With excellent vocational training in two years, are now offered in the liichmond High school. Two years in high, school has many times been a preparation for the completion of four years and graduation, teachers say. "If the pupil about to enter High school -knows he will not be able to finish four years, let him take his vocational work first; then he will be prepared with' general and mechanical training which will prove invaluable when he steps into the business ;.world," .6ays H. G. McComb, head of -the vocational department of the Richmond schools. As a rule this work is recommended for the last two years of '. four'year course. - ; "Perhaps right now there are plenty L-t dazzling jobs hanging within reach ' i'or the boy who might instead come into high fichool," points out McComb. "This is not an average year, . how-
, over, and the man of tomorrow must 'prepare 'to be valuable when a de- .'. pression comes, and untrained men
,:arc not getting boom wages."

It's Acid-Stomach
Makes Millions and Suffer
V
That
Sick
It is a scientific fact that Acid-Stomach robs blood of its vitality, resulting in flabby flesh weakness pale cheeks loss of energy, in fact causes many of the ills of suffering humanity. You know what acid-mouth does - to the teeth and gums how the acid literally eats through the hard enamel, causing the teeth to ache and decay. Just imagine, then, what havoc Acid-Stomach must create throughout the entire body. Millions of people are weak and Unfit, suffering all the time, in one way or another, from Acid-Stomach. They don't seem dangerously sick. Just ailing. Going through life weak, listless, dragging one foot after another. They're nervous and irritable; lack power and punch, frequently have severe attacks ' of blinding, splitting headaches; subject to fits of melancholia and mental depression. And nearly always their stomachs are out of order, even though many experience no actual stomach pains digestion poor never getting anywhere near the full strength from their food. Acid-Stomach interferes with digestion. It causes the food to ferment. This fermentation creates gas, sometimes causing painful
bloating and belching, food-repeating, heartburn, etc. Serious consequences often follow, such as gastritis, dyspepsia, autointoxication. Also to the same source Acid-Stomach may often be traced cases of catarrh of the stomach, ulcer and cancer of the stomach and intestines, cirrhosis of the liver, valvular heart trouble and heart failure.. The secret of good health is to get rid of Aeid-Stomach put the stomach in such perfect condition that every mouthful of food you eat will be perfectly digested and assimilated. A modern remedy called EATONIC does this quicklj , easily and naturally. EATONIC is a tablet eat them like candy. Absolutely harmless. Nothing but beneficial results can follow their use. The testimonials of thousands who have used EATONIC are so enthusiastic as to seem almost beyond belief. Your druggist has EATONIC and is authorized to refund your money if you are not satisfied.

The railroads are indispen. sable to our whole economic life, and railway securities are at the very heart of mo6t investments, large and small, public and private, by individuals and by institutions. WOODROW WILSON
THE war could not have been won without railroads Transport by rail and sea is an indispensable arm of national defense. Carrying capacity, from the wheat fields and the mines and the steel mills to the front lines in France, was the measure of our power in war. And it is the measure of our power in peace? Industrial expansion increasing national prosperitygreater world trade are vitally dependent on railroad growth. The limit to the productive power of this country is the limit set by railroad capacity to haul the products of our industry. x The amount of freight carried on American rails doubled from 1897 to 1905 since that year it has doubled again. It will double still again. To haul this rapidly growing traffic the country must have more railroads more cars and engines more tracks and terminals. Sound national legislation, broad-visioned public regulation, will encourage the expansion of railroads, without which the nation cannot grow. 5W cuhwti&aiwitikpubliAlwdby ihe
