You know, Mr.. Editor, and I be-

that q bridge across the river at An.

would DO an hundred-fold more ad-
vantage to the whole people. OF the

the proposition such ~ advantage

Pecuniarily speaking, most OF the

not so penurious that they will not
provide nickel to pay ferriage at

impossible to maintain ferry. 1t
is sure thing, that during the last
four years, there has been four hun
dred teams failed to GROSS the river

VISITORS FROM CANADA
POSTAL OFFICIALS TRYING TO
EFFECT AN AGREEMENT.

With view, if possible, of arriving at a
satisfactory adjustment of questions af
fecting second-class mail matter entering
Canada from the United States, repre-
sentatives ~of the latter country were in
conference today with Postmaster General
Meyer the second assistant postmaster gen.
eral Mr.. Shallenberger, and other officials
of the Post Office Department.
The action of the Canadian authorities in
giving notice of their desire to withdraw
from the postal convention with this coun-
try with respect to second-class matter was
the principal topic of discussion. Various
propositions were advanced on both sides,
which, it is believed, will have the effect of
bringing the two countries together in an
arrangement more acceptable to Canada
Today's conference was supplemental to
one recently had with the Canadian postal
officials in Ottawa by General Shallenberger.
Those who came here to still further dis
cuss the question were Postmaster General
Lemieux. Deputy Postmaster General r. NJ.
Coulter and Mr.. Smith of the Canadian de-
partment of posts They will be entertained
at dinner tonight by General Shallenberger.
The Canadian postal officials were the
luncheon in the New Willard Hotel at /
O'clock pm. The following officials of the
department in this city were in the party:
Second Assistant Postmaster General Shall
lenberger Third Assistant Postmaster Gen.
eral Lashe; Capt. Brooks chief of the di-
vision of foreign mails, and Chief Bacon of
the classification division.

DYSPEPSIA CAUSES
MANY DIVORCES
Metropolitan Doctors Opinion.
He Gives His Reasons and
Remedy

At a recent professional meeting in New York
one of the most prominent physicians in the ooun-
try made the astonishing statement that he be-
fifty per cent Of the divorces which are now flood
ing the courts in every judicial district Of the
United States. Dyspepsia has increased by leaps
and bounds-so have divorces The mode Of life to
which the American people now subjecting
themselves has a tendency to daily increase the
number Of dyspepttcs.
They select only the richest and most indgesti-
BILE Of foods and hurry through their meals, with
the twofod result Of improper mastication and the
heavy foods not digesting. The consequences Is
nervousness, rritabilty and all the train of evil
results that these two factions create Quar-
rels family dassensions and even crime are easily
traceable to this vague but potent cause. He also
gives his formula for the use Of the new German
product which Ia said to produce artificial diges-
tion and thus relieve the stomach such an extent
that rest will restore 1t to its normal vitality
The formula is as follows: Essence Of Pepsin two
ounces; Syrup Of Ginger. three ounces: Catandir
Compound. one ounce; mix these we'll and use fn
doses Of from one to two teaspoonfuls after each
meal and also at bedtime for the first week. The
eminent DOCTORS remarks regarding the widespread
evil effects of improper use of the foods by which
the world is kept alive we'll worth our deep
consideration; also the formula which he hber-
ally gives to public for their betterment, and
whether stomach ailments really such a men,
ace to society or not, they surely cause much per-
sonal suffering. =.

DEMORALIZE SOLDIERS
ILLINOIS TO PROBE RESORTS
NEAR FORT SHERIDAN.

SPRINGFIELD, Ill, March 2S-The Illi-
nois house of representatives today adopted
a resolution providing for an investigation
of the saloons In the suburb Of Highwood
near Chicago, and adjoining the military
post at Fort Sheridan.
OF late years much complaint has been
excited by the number and alleged character
of the saloons of Highwood, and numerous
protests have been received by the state of
Illinois from the authorities at Washington,
it being claimed by the Secretary of War
that the resorts were demoralizing to the
soldiers at the fort. The action taken today
by the house of Representatives is the first
step taken in response to the appeals for
action which have been made by the War
Department.
The matter came up in the house on the
report of the committee on licenses, which
recommended that the saloons at Highwood
be wiped out. Speaker Shurtleff abandoned
the chair and asked for the appointment Of
a committee of investigation, which. was
done after a heated argument. 1t was stated
by members of the committee that repre-
sentatives of the owners of these saloons
had been in Springfield at the time the
committee had their places under coffsidera-
ton but they did not attend the meeting
and lodged no protest against the bill which
provided for the destruction of the saloons
Saloons a Disgrace to the State.
Speaker Shurtleff asked that the house
listen to the reading of petition from
the people of Highwood, but Represent
alive Allen objected to the reading OF a
petition from any such class The
speaker asked If the people of Illinois
had not the right to petition the legisla-
ture.
"Decent people have" retorted Mr.. Allen
Representative Sollitt also objected to
the language of another member of the
house who had called the saloons indus
tries.
such a name" he declared, las applied
to these places is a disgrace to the state
of Illinois. They are the worst things
of their kind between the Atlantic and
Pacific oceans"
After a statement from the speaker,
which was followed by more debate, the
proposition to appoint the committee OF
investigation was carried.

CHARGE OF ILL-TREATMENT.
Case of Alleged Truant Before the
Police Court,

Evidence of a sensational nature in regard
to the treatment of a student in the pub
lie schools was limited at this morning in
the Police Court when the case of Samuel
Thrift, 1918 33d street northwest charged
with failing to send his minor child to
school, was called before Judge Kimball.
The trial of the case was continued until
Saturday, and it was intimated that star
thing evidence would then be brought out
But later, after a conference with Admiral
Baird, Mrs. Ellen Spencer Mussey and At
torney Crandall Mackey, the latter repre-
senting the defendant, Prosecuting Attor-
ney Pugh continued the case indefinitely. 1t
is thought the matter is settled, at least
for the present.
1t was charged that Mr.. Thrift had failed
to send his son, Clifton Thrift, to school,
and Prof Janney of the Georgetown
schools. and Edna K. Bushee. attendance
officer, were present as witnesses for the
government.
In his statement to the court, Attorney
Mackey, in asking for a continuance, stated
the action of the school authorities Mr..
Thrift was justified in keeping his boy out
of school,
1t will be shown, it was stated, that the
boy was ordered to go to- the ungraded
school, at a great distance from his home.
This would involve additional expense on
the father for car fare and for lunches.
Besides, it was stated, the defendant would
show that the boy was ruptured, the
result of struggle with a teacher in the
school. that the teacher had called in a
larger boy to help her overpower the Thrift
boy, and that the, latter was kicked and
severely injured by the larger boy.
The continuance of the case for an in
definite period was the result of the state
ment by the members of the board of edu-
cation that ungraded school viii be es-
tablished in Georgetown near this boy S
home, and this WILL it was believed, enable
the boy to attend and remove his father S

The remains of the dead man, supposed
TO be John w. Daley, found on the banks
of the Potomac river, were inferred late
yesterday afternoon. Coroner Hall had
charge of the inquest, with Mr.. T. c. Ho-
miller as foreman. Mr. Homiller stated that
the body found was that of a white man
aged forty-five years, about six feet In

mixed with gray. His weight was about 1855
pounds. His teeth were sound, but large
and irregular. He had on a vest, but no
coat, wore a black sateen shirt with short
white undershirt, two pairs of pants, one of
dark cheviot and the other of kentucky
jeans. A search revealed that his pockets
on the top trousers had been turned wrong
side out, while the trousers underneath
were intact and contained a small leather
pocketbook with 10 cents and some papers
inclosed that indicated his name was John
w. Daley or Frank Monday of Bindora,
Pa. The papers were issued by Frank Gal
laher of Charlestown, West Va. A large
nickel watch was found in his pocket at
