Don't Blame Your
Over Worked Stomach

When your stomach WI not digest
food. the worst thing you can do is to
take lot of digestive medicines.
True. they give temporary relief. but
your stomach is the sufferer. Loss Of
appetite, indigestion, dyspepsia and
headaches can only be permanently
relieved by removing the cause. In
many cases, various remedies taken
to relieve these conditions result in
running the stomach and preventing it
from digesting food in natural way.
# you want your stomach to do its
own work properly, without resorting
to artificial digestives or predigested
foods, use Jayne's Tonic vermtfuge.
Take small doses regularly, prefer
ably before meals. In q little time
your stomach will again do its own
work and you will eat heartily, keep
well and enjoy living. jayne's Tonic
vermifuge is not q digester in itself
but it tones up the stomach and in
testi1es, giving you all the nutriment
and strength from the food you eat.
Many forms Of supposed indigestion
are the result Of intestinal parasites,
for which Jayne's Tonic Vermifuge
il unsurpassed. Insist on Jayne's;
accept no other. Millions have prais-
ed It for more than eighty years.

The Administration Triumphs.

The decision of Governor Johnson
who can command the votes to pass
any measure he settles upon, to make
the California act apply to all aliens,
is triumph for the Wilson admins
tration and marks successful Secre-
tary Bryan's mission to Sacramento.
The Japanese will not be justified in
resenting as a violation of their treaty
with Washington law which denies
to all aliens property-owning right.
That resentment would have been
justified had the exclusion applied
only to persons ''ineligible to citizen
ship" because whereas the Japanese,
being Mongolisns, are ineligible, other
aliens are not.
What is Japanese opinion of the
new bill as drawn matters little. The
important consideration is that the
United States is not put before the
world as violator of its treaty obi
cations. and and is in the position of
nation true to its word and thus true
to itself.
Following within week after Mr..
Bryan's visit to Spring field. the months
long senatorial deadlock in illinois was
broken. Az q result of his California
visit, the incident there soon will be
forgotten history.
And still he is the same Bryan who
was ''disturber.
The more experience the nation has
with college professors" and dis
turbers" the more keenly does it real
ize what it missed in not putting them
at the head of affairs long ago.-Du-

Put Wilson in Hole. -

The Journal was the first newspaper
to warn its readers that California;
alien land bill was designed to embar-
rass President Wilson's administration.
Proof of the correctness Of this warn
ing is found in dispatch today from
Sacramento. The dispatch declares
that Gov. johnson said, in conversine
with his progressive" lieutenants.
ITO hell with President Wilson!
Let's put him in hole!"
Such remark is worthy of Howl
ing Hiram johnson. To put the pres
ident Tin hole," he is willing to
plunge the country into war.
The question now is, how far has this
political conspiracy spread? Gov.
johnson is in constant communion with
Theodore Roosevelt. It's almost un'
thinkable that johnson would act ir
matter contrary to the advice of biz
chief. But unless that improbable
theory is accepted, it follows that Mr..
Roosevelt, likewise, is willing to bring
the country into conflict with foreign
power for the sake Of embarrassing
the country's democratic president.
The Journal has no fears for the
prestige of President Wilson. In =
battle of wits he is more than match
for Johnson and Roosevelt together.
But what do the American people think
os progressive" statesmen who are
ready to wave the torch of wal. to gain
advantage over poll ical rivals?-Chi-
cago Journal. .,.r.s.

Every corporation or business fully
realizes the Importance Of branch
houses. The same rule applies in poll
tics, especially the Democratic party
in Iowa. Not having a Democratic
Daily at Des Moines, it is absolutely
necessary for the good of the party,
that Headquarters be permanently
established.
State Chairman N. F. Reed has
adopted unique plan of securing the
necessary funds The plan consists of
Q Postal Card which when completed is
worth One Collar to the State Central
Committee. Upon receipt of the card
1T the headquarters, the name of the
donor is inserted in book for the pur-
pose Of future reference. The card is
endorsed by the State Chairman,
deposited in the Century Savings Bank
of Des Moines and is returned to the
writer in the form Of receipt for his
contribution of One Dollar.
The State Central Committee thus
hopes to be able to continue the head
quarters at Des Moines and by SO de.
ing perpetuate the good work that was
accomplished in Iowa during the re-
cent campaign. The Headquarters
deserves the support of every loyal
Democrat in the state and we trust
that they will be able to continue.

The, California Alien Land Bill.

All eyes are turned upon Governor
johnson and bis regime, in California.
The people, the nation over, are in
sympathy with the administration.
Hiram Johnson need not for a moment
think he is creating votes TO- himself
or Roosevelt.
Neither Mr.. Wilson nor Mr. Bryan
nor any other person desires to enforce
treaties that conflict with the wishes
of the good people of any state. Our
ever increasing trade interests with
Japan, demand our caution The Jap
anese have adopted more American
ideas, plans and teachings than those
of any other nation on earth.
The Japanese land holdings in Cali
fornia are trif1e in comparison to our
interests in Japan. Is it not possible
that England is jealous of our trade
interests; is it not possible that agents
for Ordinance Manufactures and ship
builders are busy? Is it not possible
some American syndicate with several
millions tied up in japanese lard hopes
to get its money back through legisla-
ton such as being fostered by Hiram
Johnson and his clique?
President Wilson meant what he
said, regarding trying the matter out
in the courts to verify bis opinion.
Even though the jury be Californians,
the verdict will be the same. Cali
fornia will have to abide by our pres
ent treaty with Japan until some such
time as another treaty can be made
that will be equitable to the conditions
of every state in the union as well as
California"

The law requiring this of every
mercantile establishment. manufac-
turing concern and mechanical shop
operating in Georgia was passed by
the legislature last summer, but many
corporations and firms were slow to
comply with its provisions. Previous
to the passage of this law. 1t was
the rare exception rather than the
rule to see a female employee in any
business house sitting, In the ma
jorlty Of them it was positively
against orders. in fact
After the law was passed, the COM
missioner of labor observed that not
a few Atlanta concerns were disre
garding and ignoring it. These he
made note of. and not long ago warn
ed them, in a friendly sort of way,
that further compliance with the
law would be dealt with severely.
The result was instantaneous. To-
day. there is not an establishment
that the commissioner knows of which
is not providing the seats required.
The working girls and women of
Atlanta have Stanley to thank for
the rigid enforcement OF the new law.
He says he will permit no deviation
from II. moreover, so long as it IS
the law.
