SAYS SOUTH AMERICA
FAVORS GLANDS OFF" IDEA

Worcester, Mass, Nov. 20.-The
"hands off" Mexican policy of the
United States was characterized by
David Montt, Chilean representative
to the Latin-American conference at
Clark university, as one of the most
important steps ever taken by this
country to promote cordial relations
between the United States and South
America.
"The policy has aroused the great
est adniration among South Ameri-
can countries" said Mr.. Montt, "and
if similar policy had been pursued
in the past, it would have prevented
the misunderstanding and misappre-
hension that the people of Latin-Am-
erica have long felt toward this coun-
try"
81 believe" he continued, "that we
are likely to derive more discomfort
from our relations with the continent
al lowers than from our relations
with the United States. To prove my
Statement, have only to mention the
incident by which Argentina and Chile
were brought to the verge of war.
at was the influence of European
armament manufacturers which i'm
pressed the minds of those two ma
tions to make them think that their
trivial differences could be settled only
by an armed engagement. 1t took the
patriotism and courage Of high-spirit-
ed citizens of both countries TO wake
'us from this dreadful nightmare and
settle the affair peacefully. AS final
chapter to the incident we erected or
the peak of the Andes a monument
to the great Master as an expression
of thanks for having liberated us
from the diabolical influence of Eu-
ropean gun manufacturers"

IF MEALS HIT BACK
AND STOMACH SOURS
"Pape's Diapepsin" ends Indigestion,
Gas, Dyspepsia and Stomach Mis-
cry in five minutes.

If what you just ate is souring on
your stomach and lies like lump of
lead, refusing to digest, or you belch
gas and eructate sour, undigested
food, or have feeling of dizziness,
heartburn, fullness, nausea, bad taste
in mouth and stomach headache, you
can get blessed relief in five minutes.
Ask your pharmacist to show you
the formula, plainly printed on these
fifty-cent cases Of Pape's Diapepsin,
then you will understand why dys-
peptic troubles Of all kinds must go,
and why they relieve sour, out-of order
stomachs or indigestion in five min
utes. "Pape's Diapepsin" is harmless;
tastes like candy, though each dose
will digest and prepare for assimila-
ton into the blood ali the food you
eat; besides, it makes you go to the
table with a healthy appetite; but,
what will please you most, is that you
will feel that your stomach and intes-
tines are clean and fresh, and you will
not need to resort to laxatives or liver
pills for biliousness or constipation.
This city will have many "Pape's
Diapepsin" cranks, as some people will
call them, but you will be enthusiastic
about this splendid stomach prepara-
tion, too, if you ever take it for indi-
gestion, gases, heartburn, sourness,
dyspepsia, or any stomach misery.

\ The work of the conference, which
is intended to bring about a closer

PUBLIC is ASSESSED
TWICE, ESHLEMAN SAYS

TWICE, ESHLEMAN SAYS
San Francisco, Nov 21.-Both as a
private citizen who does good deal
of travelling and as president of the
California State Railroad Commission,
John NJ. Eshleman did some very plain
talking to officers of the Pullman Com
pany.
For the past two months the COM
mission has been Investigating COM
/ plants from the general public
against Pullman service. AT the hear
ing there were present G. S. Fornald,
general counsel for the company;
Richmond Dean, general manager,
both with headquarters in Chicago,
and 7. C. Coogan, general attorney
for the company in California.
Though it is not within the pro-
vince of this commission" said Pres
ident Eshleman, "to have anything to
do with the rate of wages paid to the
employees of any corporation, we are
convinced that much of the trouble
of the Pullman Company is due to
the fact that it does not pay sufficient
wages to its employees and practically
compels them to make a living by
getting the travelling public to dig
up or come through as the language
of the day has it.
"There are serious complaints
against the practices of the company,
and these or many of them go back
to the necessity of its employees to dig
a living wage from the public.
81 am even prepared to say that if
the Pullman Company would raise its
wage scale, and do away with the
abuses of the tipping system, this
commission would be willing to listen
to raise in rates. AS now operated
the man who rides in a Pullman car
is unable to obtain any service, un-
less he pays extra for it,
President Eshleman enriched his
opinion with personal experiences.
Travelling with Commissioner Edger-
ton, they telegraphed ahead one day
for a drawing-room. 81 did not get
the telegram" the conductor told
them, when they boarded tn train,
"and if l had l should have thrown
it out the window" They got no
drawingroom.
On another trip, porter who had
heard an investigation was being
made and had learned Commissioner
Eshleman's connection with it, took
him aside and begged him: what
ever else you do, don't touch our tips.
We can't live without them"
General Manager Dean interposed
that the company has fifty inspectors
travelling in California. ~ don't want
to go on record as favoring the en-
ployment of private detectives in CAL
ifornia," replied President Eshleman,
"but | want to tell you your company
does not know what's going on"
The hearings will be continued and
are likely to embrace a wide review
of the company's regulations and
practices. Among the most frequent
complaints are that berths are often
sold twice; that the upper berth is
usually made up and lowered whether
it has been sold or occupied or not,
thus shutting off ventilation from the
lower unnecessarily; that conductors
refuse to honor telegraphic orders;
that conductors hold out lowers and
sell them to belated arrivals for sub
bell boys speculate in lower berths,
bell boys speculate in loiwer berths,
sharing excess prices with Pullman
employees.
