one of intense interest, dealing with

Acid StomachsA Are
Dangerous
Common Sense Advice by Distin-

Acid stomachs are dangerous because
acid irritates and infiames the delicate lin
ing of the stomach. thus hindering and
preventing the proper action Of the storn
ach. and leading tc probably nine-tenths of
the cases Of stomach trouble from which
people suffer. Ordinary medicines and medi-
cinal treatments are useless in such cases
for they leave the source OF the trouble the
acid in the stomach. dangerous as ever
The acid must be neutralized. and its forrna-
tion prevented and the best thing for this
purpose is a teaspoonful OF bisurated mag
nesia. a simple antacid. taken in a little
warm or cold water after eating which NOT
only neutralizes the acid but also prevents
the fermentation from which acidity is de-

AS the delegates passed through the

the assertion by the President that
only yesterday he was discussing
with several members OF Congress

committee in the House, the same as
the Senate now has, and that he was
deeply interested,/ in their cause.
Mrs. E F. Feichert, president of the
New Jersey Suffrage Association. acted
as spokeswoman, and Mrs. Nina c: Van
Wrinkle, president of the New jersey
Woman's Political Union, also spoke
briefly to the President in behalf of the
Beat Out Congressman.
These two women led the double line
that started from suffrage headquarters
at 1920 + street just before II o'clock.
The line had reached the north end OF
the Treasury building when messenger
came running to tell Mrs. Feichert that
Congressman Mccoy was on the tele-
phone at suffrage headquarters, and
wanted to talk to her. A halt was call
ed while she hurried back, only TO hear
the Congressman say that the President
would let him know in few hours
vherther or not he could see the women.
Never mind. were on our way up

Teichert, and hurried back to the i'm
patient seventy and gave the order,
Forward, march,
The women marched past the por-
tion of the White House TO the Execu-
tive offices, in the west wing, where
they were halted at the door by
uniformed policeman. who asked them
to wait just few minutes." The
leaders stood on the steps and had their
pictures taken. and were just begin

OLD STATES RIGHTS
QUESTION REVIVED
Early Corners to Conservation
Congress Begin Discussion.
Lane Gives Greeting.

The vanguard of the 1000 or more
delegates to the fifth National Conser-
walton Congress, which opens here to-
morrow. arrived today and Immediately
a discussion Of the Federal control and
States rights issue, which has been
the subject of heated debate for years,
was begun. This issue is expected to
be brought to the front at the session
on Thursday by william Henley, Of the
Oregon Development League. An echo
of the conference of governors at Salt
Lake city, called to discus the ques-
ton of the State control of national
resources, also is expected to be heard.
Leaders of the conservation move
ment. however, declare the state rights
question will play a smaller part in the
deliberations of this convention than
at former meetings.
There aer only two social events plan
ned during the three days session OF
the congress. Tomorrow evening Gif-
ford Pinchot and his mother, Mrs.
,;ames ". Pinchot, will give a recep-
ton to all the delegates to the CON
gress at their home, 1917 Rhode Island
avenue. On Wednesday evening a ban
ouet will be given by the forestry sec
ton at Rauscher's.
Experts In Session.
Preliminary to the sessions of the
congress proper the National Associa-
ton of Conservation Commissioners are
meeting in the Gridiron loom of the
New Willard. simultaneously the for
etsry section is in session in the Cabinet
room.
Secretary of the Interior Franklin
X. Lane addressed the conservation
commissioners at the morning ses-
sion. making a plea for cooperation
between the Federal and State gov
ernments.
Secretary Lane declared that he was
walton, and that he was only con-
cerned in making a practical test OF
whatever will work out best for the
interests of the country.
you represent the States?" he told
the commissioners; Il represent the
Federal Government. We can work
together, or we can pull apart, but II
is only by cooperation that the best
results can be attained"
AS an evidence that there had not
always been the right sort of co-opera-
tiOr in the past, Secretary Lane point
ed TO the results following the operation
Of the Cary act putting the lands under
irrigation. There was hardly a State
! visited in the West this summer in
whi II ! did not hear the plea that the
United States should carry out the
obligations made under the Cary act"
he declared.
Pointing out the states duty in this
regard he said IF we are TO give up
the lands Of the United States for the
development of the country into the

hands of the States, and they are to
elect who shall turn the water onto
these lanas, certainly the States should
see that they have water and that
they have money.
Says States Have Obligation.
Il feel that the United States is partly
responsible for the games Of crooked
ness played on the settlers, but found
only a few States which had a con-
sciousness Of the obligation placed upon
them. 1 hope you commissioners will
go back into your States and see that
these obligations are carried out"
As an indication that the Federal Gov
eminent stands ready to cooperate
with the States, Secretary Lane pointed
to the cooperative work in protecting
scrvey Of Oregon, which is being con-
Eucted by the Government and the
State of Oregon, with the understanding
that each shall expend 81 600, 900 in irri-
eating that State, was called to the at
tention of the commissioners. as well as
a similar project in Washington State.
Il hope to see the day, and that not
very far distant" Secretary Lane said,
when the Southern States shall be-
come interested in a movement for
lands"
Closing with an assurance that the
Federal Government will meet the
States half way, Mr.. Lane declared
that if his departments help is needed
its hand will be found extended.
