STOMACH TROUBLE
DUE TO ACIDITY

Stomach troubles such as fndi-
gestion, wind, and stomach-ache
are simply evidence that fermen-
tation is taking place in the food
contents of the stomach, causing
the formation of gas and acids.
Wind distends the stomach, and
causes that full, oppressive feel
ing sometimes known as heart
burn, while the acid irritates and
inflames the delicate lining Of the
stomach. The trouble lies entire
ly in the fermenting food. Such
Presentation is unnatural. and

Now, l ask you, little book, how

Doesn't your conscience prick
you, my dear, to take so much
money from those men for a set
of books?"
You may be sure, Margie, that
II does not; and at that, they are
getting them cheaper from me

Statement Issued by Ar

WASHINGTON, Aug. 12-Not only
was the possibility of armed inter-
vention in Mexico definitely removed
before the Latin-American diplomats
entered into the recent conferences
with Secretary of State Lansing, but
was agreed beforehand that there
should be mo act or design which
might mean an interference in the in
ternal affairs of Mexico"
This was the official statement of
the Argentine government to General
Carranza in reply to his protest made
public by the Carranza agency here
today.
President Wilson today approved
without a single change the plan ar
rived at in New York between Secre-
tary of State Lansing and the South
American diplomats. Following con-
ference with the president that lasted
over an hour, the secretary said:
There has been no change in the
plan. All that remains to be done is
the physical york of transmitting the
appeal to the Mexican people and their
factions
The secretary said he could not
discuss details at this time. "All of
us are anxious that the widest pub
licity should be given to our plans
as soon as they have been communi-
Gated to the Mexican people. Until
then we must refuse to say anything
in addition to the state made pub
lie in New York last night"

Realized Danger.
All members of the council realize
the dangerous condition of the bridge,
but there is diversity of opinion re-
garding the best method of improving
it. Clayton Hunt, of Richmond. is in
favor of constructing a new bridge,
eliminating the incline. He said that
he opposed the construction OF the
present structure when 1t was built.
and he has always feared that some
catastrophe might result there.
Bridge Cost Included.
At the last meeting of the county
commissioners County Auditor Bow
man was instructed to include in the
legal advertisement of the commits
sioners' estimates of expenses for 1916
an appropriation of $15O.000 for q
new bridge. This has been done by
the auditor, so under the statute it
is now possible for the county council
to appropriate any amount of money
it may deem fit for the new structure.
Had this notice not been given, it
would have been necessary to delay
the matter until a special meeting of
the council afer the regular meeting
on September Z.
For the commissioners to take this
action. it is virtually the same as rec
ommending to the county council that
new bridge be constructed" said Au-
ditor Bowman today. 1T is not OBJ
ligatory. however, for the commission
ers to make this recommendation un-
til after a more complete investigation
has been made"
Means Recommendation.
Even if it were found necessary to
build an entirely new bridge. it would
be impossible for the work to begin
before next spring. according to the
county auditor. Specifications would
have to be drawn up and bids asked.
This would require at least ninety
days and If the contract should be
let by November 1 it would not be
possible for the contractor to begin
work until next spring. because of the
impossibility of building concrete
structure in the winter. This would
mean that the bridge will be closed
to traffic for at least one year.
The opinions of members Of the
county council who could be reached
today follow:
Lee b. Nusbaum, President of the
County Council understand that the
county commissioners will ask for an
appropriation in some form at the
meeting of the county council on Sep
tember Z. Before the council has that
matter before it officially, do not
think it wise to pass judgment on ac-
count of not having all the facts and
conditions at hand.
Want Expert Advice.
If the bridge is unsafe and danger
Gus. the only thing for the county to
do is to remedy the matter. Whether
that can be done by repairing the
bridge or building a new one would
be determined in my mind when the
matter is presented to the council.
based on the reports of our local en-
sineers and on reputable expert en-
eineering authority. not financially in
terested in either bridge architecture
or bridge building, if such expert in
formation can be secured.
Clayton Hunt was in favor Of
concrete bridge when the present iron
structure was talked of. 1t is imprac-
tical for a bridge to be built on an
incline as the present bridge has been
built Before / shall make a decision

PAN-AME MERICANS
DEMAND STRIFE

Back Up United States in
New Wilson Note to War
ring Factions Demanding
Peace.

NEW YORK, Aug. 12.-While Sec
retary of State Lansing today was re-
porting to President Wilson the result
of the Mexican conversation at the
Hotel Biltmore several of the Pan
American diplomats waited m New
York subject to the call of the state
department to sign the note agreed
upon to the warning factions in Mex
leo.
When the meeting here adjourned
after the representatives of this coun-
try and six of the leading nations of
Central and South America had agreed
on plan of action. Secretary Lansing
told the Pan-Americans he would call
them together again. to sign the note
which he would draft. He also inform
ed them there would be other meet
ings when replies have been received
from Carranza and the other Mexi-
can faction leaders to whom the note
will be sent.
The proposed note it was under
stood will embody President Wilson S
last word to the Mexicans. The note
will demand that a government be
established Immediately and will deal
with the recognition or that govern
ment by the United States and the
Pan-American governments. United
States supervision of a constitutional
election in Mexico is. one OF the de-
tails.
The note will be signed by this coun-
try. Argentine, Brazil, Chill, Guate-
mala, Bolivia and Uruguay. 1t was
made certain that all the Central and
South American countries would p
prove the note by the announcement
of Minister Pizet of Peru. He was not
party to the conversation but with
Minister Cordova of Ecuador called at
the Biltmore to pay his respects.
"All of the governments of Central
and South America will acquiesce in
what Secretary Lansing and the dip
lomats agreed upon," Minister Pizet
said

on their program for preparedness, if
force is necessary.
The department of state was bring
ing into play every plan known to
diplomacy to settle the problem with
out an armed clash.
Secretary Lansing, returning from
New York soon after midnight, worked
far into the early morning on a report
to be presented to President Wilson
later in the day. The report cited the
attitude Of the South American diplo-
mats as revealed at yesterdays con-
ference in New York. 1t emphasized
the opposition Of these men, and the
countries they represented, to any
armed interference in Mexico. And it
also revealed that Carranza, despite
his open defiance of the plan of con-
ference, has the sympathy of most of
the Latin-Americans.
If Secretary Lansing has his way,
only the Louisiana will go to Vera
Cruz at once. The Connecticut will be
kept in Haitian waters, and the re-
mainder of the fourth division, when
ready for duty, will make Guantanamo,
on the Cuban coast, their headquar-
ters, where they will be available for
service but will not aggravate the sit
ration in Vera Cruz.
Secretary GargiSan still awaits re-
quest from EeAM Funston before
starting the sfemainder. of the regular
army. now in this country, to the
Texas border.
Funston's report that the various
bands Of raiders apparently are work
ing along similar lines with the inten.
ton of endeavoring to seize the entire
Rio Grande territory has surprised Of
ficials, who believed that the con-
spiracy with that object in view was
stamped out more than year ago.

INDIANAPOLIS, Aug. 12-Judge W.
H. Eichhorn. sitting as special judge
in the criminal court in the Marion
county election fraud cases, today
overruled the motion of the defense to
quash the indictments on all but five
minor counts.
The trial of Mayor Joseph E. Bell,
the first of approximately 125 officials
and politicians to be tried, was set for
September Z.
All the defendants are charged with
conspiracy to commit a felony in con.
nection with the registration, prim-
aries and elections in Marion county in
1914.
1t was suggested by the attorneys
for the defendants that Thomas Tag
gart, Democratic national committee
man, be the first man brought to trial,
but Prosecutor Fuckers said he had
decided on Bell.
