Women Teachers Bar Jaw Jingoists From Their Game of Snaring Solons Know When to Stop Talking, Dress Decorously and Do Not Attack En Masse Are Rules. CAMPAIGN FOE PENSIONS Members of the Nebraska Woman's Educational club are learning the gentle art of bearding the legislative lion in his den. These women have been told that legislators have cer tain human traits, but when fed meat tin y become untractable. This club, at a meeting held in the Lindell hotel at Lincoln, adopted these rules in connection with its cam paign to se ire enactment of a state pension law for teachers: Do not appear before the legisla tors in groups.

Follow ing a substantial menu, the attendants were treated to a program of orator ical interest. Carl Marfist served as toastmaster. Joseph Sesto, president of the club, was the orator of the evening. He spoke in the Italian language and invested his words with considerable dramatic ability He urged his fellow countrymen to be loyal to the principles of the club and to make themselves honorable Ameri can citizens. He was enthusiastically applauded for his lofty sentiments. Mayor Dahlman Talks. "Continue to be good citizens and cherish high ideals as you have done in the past. You are to be commended and encouraged upon having such a splendid organization," said Mayor Dahlman. He reviewed the history of Italian-Americans in Omaha, declar ing that many have become home owners and desirable citizens. He praised their loyalty and adjured them to foster their schools and churches and take an interest in clean politics. Edward Maggi of Lincoln, quoted state records to show that Italian citizens of Nebraska have an enviable record.

Acid in Stomach' Sours the Food Says Excess of Hydrochloric1 Acid is Cause of Indigestion. A well-known authority states that stomach trouble and indigestion is nearly always due to acidity acid stomach and not, as most folks be lieve, from a lack of digestive juices. He states that an excess of hydro chloric acid in the stomach retards digestion and starts food fermenta tion, then our meals sour like garbage in a can, forming acrid fluids and fuses which inflate the stomach like a toy balloon. We then get that heavy, lumpy feeling in the chest, we eructate sour food, belch gas, or have heartburn, flatulence, water-brash or nausea. He tells us to lay aside all digestive aids and instead, get from any phar marcy four ounces of Jad Salts and take a tablespoonful in a glass of water before breakfast while it is effervescing, and furthermore, to con tinue this tor one week. While re lief follows the first dose, it is im portant to neutralize the acidity, re move the gas-making mass, start the liver, stimulate the kidneys and thus promote a free flow of pure digestive juices. Jad Salts is inexpensive and is made from ' the acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined with lithia and sodium phosphate.

HOW TO JUDGE A WOMAN BY HER HAIR There is 'real common sense in just noticing whether the hair is well kept to judge of a woman's neatness, or good taste. If you are one of the few who try to make the most of your hair, remember that it is not advisable to wash the hair with any cleanser made for all pur poses, but always use some good preparation made expressly for shampooing. You can enjoy the very best by getting some canthrox from your druggist, dissolve a tea spoonful in a cup of hot water. This makes a full cup of shampoo liquid, enough so it is easy to apply it to all the hair instead of just the top of the head. Dandruff, excess oil. and dirt are dissolved and en tirely disappear. Your hair will be so fluffy that it will look much heavier than it is. Its lustre and softness will also delight you, while the stimulated scalp gains the health which insures hair growth.
