' DEPLORE ;
That awful sourness, belching of aeld and foul gases; that pain in the pit
of the stomach, the heartburn, nervousness, nausea, bloating after eating,
feeling of fullness, dizziness and sick headache, means indigestion; a dis
ordered stomach -which cannot be regulated until you remove the cause.
It isn't your stomach's fault. Your stomach is as good as any.
Try Cascarets; they cure indigestion, because they immediately cleanse
and regulate the stomach, remove the sour, undigested and fermenting
food and foul gases; take the excess bile from the liver and carry off the
decomposed wata matter and poison from the intestines and bowels.
Then your stomach trouble is ended forever. A
Cascaret tonight will straighten you out by morn

than a baseball game, as the "has-

with the heavy team of the Mountain

making three scores, which was con
sldere by tne fan8 present to be most
fortunate for them. The Mountain

15 tallies, and then tired of running

n Proposing Discontinuance
of Kindergartens and Pass
;v Resolutions.
The teacher of the city schools
have passed the following resolutions
with reference to the proposed ais-
continuance of the kindergartens and
curtailing the work of the High
school:
'We. the teachers and principals of
the Ashevllle city schools, are deeply
concerned about the proposed discon
tinuance of the kindergartens.
'Since their Incorporation into the
citv schools in September. 1807, the
enrollment has gradually increased
and the work of the children during
this period has been of . Inestimable
value to them and to their teachers In
the first A grades. There I an ap
preciable difference between the child
trained in the kindergarten and the
one who begins his school life with
out this training. The grade teach
ers find him more tractable, more re
sponsive, more alert. In fact, more
teachable In every way.
"We deeply deplore, too, the neces
Ity of curtailing the work In our
High school. Indeed, it seems that
the proposed economies are striking
right at the heart of our school sys
tem, when the babies and the young
men and women preparing themselves
for good citizenship should 'Buffer
from this lack of funds.
We do not believe that the citi
zens of Ashevllle are going to stand
aside and allow these things to come
to pass, and we have implicit confi
dence that some plan will be devised
by which the kindergartens may be
kept open and the High school main
tain Its present progressive policy."
PUN ANNUAL BANQUET
Also Discuss Lighting Up
. Streets During Summer,
According to Custom.
The. members of the Ashevllle Mer
chants association are planning for
the annual banquet. The date has not
yet been fixed, but It has been decided
that it will be served in the dining
room of the new iJingren hotel, con
sequently it will be delayed until the
hotel is opened.
Arrangements will be. made to have
a number of speakers, prominent busi
ness men of other cities, here to re
spond to toasts, and the banquet this
year promises to be one of the most
enjoyable ever held.
At last night's meeting of the direc
tor of the association the matter of
turning the electric current on the In
candescent lights hung over the prin
cipal streets during the summer was
discussed, but no definite action was
taken. The question is to be agitated
among the members, and it is thought
that funds can easily be secured to
keep the lights during the summer
months, as has been the custom for
the past few years
