Summer Constipation Dangerous
Constipation in Summer. time
is more dangerous than in the
fall, winter or spring. The food
you eat is often contaminated

your stomach. Then yon are apt

your stomach. Collie, Fever, Pto-
maine Poisoning and other ills
are natural results. 20. Do-Lax

Cause of European War.

Austria in declaring war Oh
servla. Our people generally be
lleve that the affront to Austri,
was trivial. For this reason the
press and the people are largely
against the Germans in Their
heroic struggle against united
Europe and part of Asia.
But let's look at it from q
different standpoint. Suppose
during our late unpleasantness
with Mexico Secretary of State
Bryan had gone down to Mexico
City to confer with the powers
there. And suppose he had been
assassinated under suspicious cir
cumstances. What howl would
have been raiOed by the press
and people of this country. The
United States wonld have done
just exactly as Austria. We
would have demanded an i'm
mediate investigation of the MUIR
der and we would have also de-
manded that the United States be
represented in the tracing of the
crime. Suppose Huerta would
have said:
mo you keep hands off. | will
investigate the matter and pun
ish the guilty parties. The
United States shall not be re.
presented in the trial of the
murderer of the Secretary of
State"
Does anyone believe that our
government would for a minute
have trusted this blood-stained
'coundrel and his subsidized
courts to deal out justice in the
case without representative of
The United States on hand to see
that it was done right?
And when the heir to the
'hrone of Austria was assassinat-
I'd under circumsrances of such
mature as TO point with the fing-
" OF suspicion TO the royal house
II Servia, Austria rightfully de-
an immediate investi-
,atlou and this country was
within its right when it demand
ID that she have hand in the ]
rial. Servla refused this. If
lexico had done as Servia under
he circumstances related above.
n American army wonld have t
cen on the march to Mexico City Y
n less time than it takes to tell &
B. And this is what Austria did. |
For d cause even more trivial
failure to salute the American u
az in the diplomatic way after &
is conduct-the American CAP
lred Vura Cruz. Gan we con-
emn Ausaria for what she did?
After this the conscienceless

RAILROADS APPEAL
TO PRESIDENT
The Common Carriers Ask for Re-
lief = President Wilson Directs
Attention Of Public to
THAR Mazda


lief - President Wilson Directs
Attention Of Public to
Their Needs.
The committee of railroad execu-
| tiyes, headed by Mr.. Frank Trumbull.
representing thirty-five of the leading
railroad systems of the nation, recent
ly presented to President Wilson
memorandum briefly reviewing the diff
ficulties now confronting the railroads
OF the country and asking for the CO.
operation OF the governmental authori-
ties and the public in supporting rail-
road credits and recognizing an emer-
gency which requires that the rail-
roads be given additional revenues.
The memorandum reeites that the
European war has resulted in general
depression of business on the Ameri-
can continent and in the dislocation
OF credits at home and abroad. With
revenues decreasing and interest rates
increasing the transportation systems
OF the country face q most serious
crisis and the memorandum is a
strong presentation of the candle
burning at both ends and the perils
that must ultimately attend such a
conhagration when the flames meet
is apparent to all. In their general
discussion the railroad representa-
tives say in part: by reason Of leg
islation and regulation by the federal
government and the forty-eight states
acting independently of each other, as
we'll as through the action of strong
public opinion, railroad expenses in |
recent years have vastly Increased.
No criticism is here made of the gen.
eral theory Of governmental regula-
ton, but on the other hand, no in
genuity can relieve the carriers of ex-
penses created thereby"
President Wilson, in transmitting
the memorandum of the railroad |
presidents to the public, character
ICES 1t as "a lucid statement of plain
truth The president recognizing
the emergency as extraordinary, con-
tinuing, said in part:
You ask me to call the attention
of the country to the imperative need
that railway credits be sustained and
he railroads helped in every possible
way, whether by private cooperative
Effort or by the action, wherever
easible Of governmental agencies, and |
am glad to do so because | think
he need very real"
The conference was certainly a
ortunate one for the nation and the |,
resident is to be congratulated for
pening the gate to pew world of /
fort in which everyone may cooper
tie.
There are many important prob
ems in our complex civilization that
ill yield to cooperation which will
ot lend themselves to arbitrary rul-
lgs of commissions and financing ,
ailroads is one of them. The man
nth the money is a factor that can :
ct be eliminated from any business :
'ansaction and the public is an inter (,
sted party that should always be con- !,
llted and happily the president has
lvited all to participate in the solu-
on OF our railroad problems.
