DANGER AHEAD!!!

Last months printing bills were all
paid by subscription money. 1t was
glorious to see the subs. roll in! BUT
WE CAN'T STAND AN EBB TIDE.
These subscriptions must continue to
come in at a reasonably rapid rate, or
we shall have to give up this unequal
battle. Why? Because each days ex-
penses must be paid by the days re-
ceipts. You all know that we are
working without a dollar of capital.
While we have no debts, neither have
we any surplus fund. The advertising
money which has so far been collected
has been just sufficient to keep the
editor and advertising solicitor in
working condition and pay Uncle Sam
and the telephone company. So you
see, our imperied condition is due to
this fact that at this time we can't tide
over even two dull weeks. THE LAST
WEEK HAS BEEN DULL; too dull,
a sort of reaction. If it continues an
other week, our efforts to re-establish
ourselves in the face of almost unsur-
mountabIe obstacles will be fruitIess.
We are making as brave fight as was
ever made, to give the working class
of Washington paper worth while.
1t behooves every working man and
woman in the state to help us tide
over this reconstruction period. Let
US hear from you.

ITALIANS ARE INDIGNANT
OVER COLORADO AFFAIR

Rome, May 4.-The Giornale d'Italia
comments today on what it character
ICES as the insufficient" answer of
Secretary Bryan in the matter of the
standing of Italians in the Colorado
strike zone. The paper makes refer
ence TO "the massacre of Italians in
Colorado" and demands satisfaction
from the American government, whose
lack of precautions. it says, caused the
conflict.

THE CENTRAL LABOR COUN-
GIL OF ABERDEEN PASSES
RESOLUTIONS OF PROTEST
AGAINST WAR.

The widespread awakening of the
workers to the realization of their
class interests, as against the bun
combe of the capitalists and their re-
tainers has been a most encouraging
feature of the regrettable bloodshed
in Colorado and Mexico. Only a few
years ago it would have been very
easy matter for the patriots" to
suppress the awful news from the
Colorado coal fields and play up the
insult to the flag in Mexico, with the
result that the firing upon the flag by
state militiamen in Colorado would
be unknown and the workers of other
states Infatuated at the Mexican Incl
dent.
1t seems that hundreds of thousands
of workers have come to understand
that true patriotism, like true char
ity, begins at home, and that loyalty
to class at home is quite as important
as the protection of predatory capital
list interests abroad. This is evidently
the view taken last Saturday by the
Central Labor Council of Aberdeen
when they passed the following reso
lutions:
The Resolutions.
"The most serious developments of
the Mexican situation have just trans
pired. The international capitalist
class, it appears, has finally succeeded
in plunging our nation into a condi-
ton bordering on war with the Mexi-
can people, who are struggling for
emancipation from a domestic and in
ternational economic tyranny
"In view of the fact that warlike
activities were begun upon a COM
paratively insignificant issue, and di-
rectly contrary to the wishes of Presi-
dent Wilson and our people in general,
it would seem that the capitalists,
who, for two years have yearned for
war, have finally overcome objections
and have begun the spilling of the
blood of our class in both countries.
'In response to this capitalist out
rage, we. the members of the Aber-
deem Central Labor Council as repre-
sentatives of organized labor in Aber-

HOW To PREVENT
ACID STOMACHS AND
FOOD FERMENTATION
BY a Stomach Specialist

AS specialist who has spent many
years in the study and treatment OF
stomach troubles, nave been forced
to the conclusion that most people
who complain OF stomach trouble pos
sess stomachs that are absolutely
healthy and normal The real trouble,
that which causes all the pain and dir
fculty is acid in the stomach, usually
due to, or aggravated by, food fer-
mentation. Acid irritates the deli
cate lining of the stomach and food
fermentation causes wind which dis
tends the stomach abnormally, caus
ing that full bloated feeling. Thus
both acid and fermentation interfere
with and retard the process OF diees-
ton. The stomach is usually healthy
and normal, but irritated almost past
endurance by these foreign elements
acid and wind. In all such cases
and they comprise over 90 per cent OF
all stomach difficulties-th first and
only step necessary is to neutralize
the acid and stop the fermentation by
taking a little warm or cold water I'M =
mcdiately after eating from one to
two teaspoonfuls of bisurated magne-
sia, which is doubtless the best and
only really effective antacid and food
corrective known. The acid will DC
neutralized and the fermentation
stopped almost instantly, and your
stomach will at once proceed TO al
Gest the food in healthy, norma
manner. BE sure to ask your cheni,
ist for the bisurated maenesia, as
have found other forms utterly lack
