No more sour stomach, griping pains, rumbling of bowels and trembling limbs — nothing but a desire to eat what you want when you want it—without any “kick back.” Your health depends largely upon what you eat and how it is digested. Undi- gested, fermenting, putrifying food is one ! of the greatest handicaps your body has. And it is all unnecessary, if you let Rheu- | masalts help you. If you are bothered with indigestion, of Rheumasalts; in 3 glass of water before breakfast each | morning and in a few days you will be able to digest your food in a perfect man= ner. Rheumasalts is very inexpensive. It does not cause nausea. It is delicious to take and is delightfully effervéscent.

NATIONAL SYSTEM OF INDUSTRIAL EDUCATION Necessary to Econsmic Prosperity and Supremacy of Country. Cincinnati, Feb. 24.—C. A. Prosser of New York, secretary of the tional society for the promotion of in- dustrial education, speaking before the general convention of the depari- ment of superintendence of the N tional Education association here to- day, said that a nation wide system of industrial education is necessary to the economic prosperity and supre- macy of the country. Governmental control, he contended and regulation of the employment and training of the youtl in industry is necessary to the accomplishment of | this nation wide system. At present, he said, it.is doubtful whether there are in the whole United States facili- ties and opportunities for the indus- trial training of twenty-five thousand workers, and there are more than twelve millions to be reached. Compulsory Legislation Necessary. “Nothing short of legislation com- pelling town and shop, parent and child, to co-operate will ever give to us a national system of industrial ed- ucation. Training for industry and | the labor of children in industry are | matters of public concern which the state has the duty as well as the right to control, as far as the welfare of the | youth and the public good may re- | quire.” In addition to the department of su- perintendence, seven ‘other organiza- tions affiliated with the national edu- cation association were in session to- day. These were the National Feder- ation of State Teachers' associations; National Congress of Mothers and Par- ent Teacher associations; National as- sociation of Teachers' Agencies; City Normal School association; Interna- tional Kindergarten Union; National association of State Superv rs and Inspectors of Rural Schools, and the Commission on the reorganization of secondary education.” Newspapers Read Quicker. Newspaper matter, which concrete, a- is is read one hundred very words the legislature according to Dr. Col- in A. Scott of Boston, in addressing the city normal school association. Adults with high school read easy material, newspaper stories on the about 300 words a minute. itorials are read conside The newspaper that its read- ers with concrete material, requiring very little thinking or general ideas, is thus sure to appeal to a wider and less intelligent circle of reade Dr. Scott. ““The reason ¢\ this is because the matter is more sensation« al or more exciting, but because reader who can cover only from one to two hundred words a minute soon Ands reading a painful process.

London, Jan. 18.—A medical pert who has been inspecting the var ious ‘field hospitals of the allies in the western theater of war, describes the Queen Elizabeth hospital at Calais as the best of them all. The hos. pital is under Belgian control, and the patients are all Belgian soldiers. “The v room is one of the most completely equipped of its kind in France, said the expert. ‘““The apparatus was the gift of the Duc de Vendome, brother-in-law of King Albert, who is himself a well- | known .scientist and bacteriologist, and who is personally attached the institution Electric X~ Instalment. “The consists of an enormou$ apparatus electric instalment of power, so planned as to permit the taking of instantaneous Xx-ray photo- zraphs by the mere manipulation of a lever and in the space of a frac- {tion of a second.

Hartford, Conn. Feb. 4.—The Connecticut supreme court of crrors, in two important decisions handed vesterday upholds the men’s compensation law and for a rigid interpretation of it. The cases in question are from Hartford county and were taken to the tribunal in appeals from the com- pensation commissioner’s findings. The opinions were written by Justice Wheeler and all the other members of the court concurred. The first case is that of the appeal of the Hotel Bond company in the case of J. J. Powers, a bellboy, who was killed in an elevator accident at the hotel. In discussing the gquestion of whether an appeal of this nature to the superior court shall be tried de nova, the court says in the nega- tive, holding that the objects of the bill will be defeated. down work- stands Commissioner Not a Court. The commissioner is not a court. He only determines the facts and he is not affected by the rules of evi- dence. Under the court interpreta- tion, the commissioner must give all the facts essential to the case at hand and such questions of law as are ruled upon by the commissioner, and such as were made by the appellant No other or further inquiry is re- quired. In holding that the commissioner did not unlawfully find that the claimant was a partal defendant, the Bond company clamed that Powers did not earn $5 a week, the minimum amount of the law which was allowed by the commissioner. To this the court says the record does not dis- close that there was applied a stand- ard of discrepancy other than that required and contemplated by the act. The general assembly has in spe- cific terms made the minimum amount $5. The wisdom of the as- sembly is not our concern in this case, says the court. Small Employers Liable. The second case is thdt of Mrs. Al- vah Bayon vs. John G. Beckley and involves the question of employers of less than five persons. This was a case where a houseworker was injured in shaking a rug and claimed dam- ages, the defendant being an employ- er of less than five. There are two questions of law to be decided, says the opinion: Are employers who regularly employ less than five within the scope of the law and if they are, does a failure to com- pany with the provisions of section 30, part five, deprive not only them but also their employes of the bene- | fits of its provision? It is clearly the intention on the | part of the legislature that it applies to all, says the court. We cannot poll the legislature but “we think that employers having less than five are included in its pro- visions.” When an employer compli the act he is under its pro when he does not he loses his right to common law defense, says the court. The court’s interpretation, regard- ing employers of five persons or less, clarifies this section of the act, which has been a subject of contention since its enactment. While the at- torney general had given a similar interpretation, some of the commis- sioners had ruled otherwise. AMERICAN NOTE.

POLITICAL SITU Holland Assumes Grave Aspect— Developments Expected. The Hague, Feb. 24, 12:05 p. m.—There is good to believe that the political situation in Holland at the present time is such that most interesting develop- ments might be expected at any mo- ment. There have been recently nu- merous meetings between the diplo- matic representatives of various coun- tries at The Hague, but the subjects discussed at these conferences have been kept strictly secret. The Neth. erlands ministers have been in con- ference with some of the foreign dip- lomats and at the same time work in the government offices has been go- ing on night after night until a late hour. The Holland American line steam- tvndam when she left Rotterdam New York last night, was bril- llantly lighted. Shel laid to off the harbor all night before proceeding down the channel. The name Ryndam in large letters has been painted on both sides of the steamer.

The mayor pra'ses the work of the Red Cross surgeons and nurses, whose professional abil- ity, skill, etc, he says, are the admira- tion of French gurgeons and the mili- tary and civil authorities.
