Salonika, Nov. 2.-(By mail).-The
sun goes down like an explosion in a
paint factory in this part of the world.
All the mixtures of tongues and uni
forms and ships and flags of the vari-
pous armies and navies centering in
sSalonica are not in greater contrast
rtnan the melange Of color which fills
I the evening skies as the sun sinks
nightly behind the peak of Olympus
where the Greek gods lived and played.
Even greater than the variety of
color in the city or the sky is the va.
riety of opinion in the cafes when the
thousands of men of many races cath.
er vita the lighting of the evening
lamps to talk over what the future
holds.
There are Germans here; they didn t
move away when the allied armies
came. Salonica is as much an ally

France, but the Germans haven S de.
parted because Greece is neutral
The Germans are sure that, sweep
ing past us 400 miles to the NORTH, the
German hordes are pouring through
IServia toward Turkey. Some of them
think that the time is not far distant
when the Germans will be in SalonilSa,
too.
Then what will these British and
French do Where will they run tol

selves they say such things, in their
own cafes.
Englishmen are divided. Most of
them are glad the allies came to Greece
and Others say it was mistake.
Why won 7 Italy send an army to
help us in Servia2' asks French,
man. ''She could easily send 100000
men. She ought to do as much as the
allies, for her future is at stake.
But Italy isn't fighting Germany.
She's fighting Austria, and she s going
to put up such a stiff fight on the
| Italian frontier that the Austrians will
have to withdraw troops from Servia
to keep the Italians back" explains an
Italian newspaper correspondent.

ago the Englisaman was popping away
with his rifle at every fez he say. To
day he passes them as placijly as if
peace had been declared.
Indeed, it is a sort of peace that you
see in Salonica, peace Of shooting but
not of thinking. Bullets don I fly,
but opinions do. All the different opin-
ions held in every corner Of the world

ern China with the putting to an en'l
Of the republican form of government.
Sucn uprisings may not follow immedi-
atey upon the heels of the change of
political system, but it is certain that
it will add fuel to the fire of agitation
which is always smoldering in China.
There was no reason why Yuan Shi
Kai would want to become a king, in
asmuch as he has, even under the re-
publican regime, enjoyed practically
all tne authorities of a monarch.
Japan, as a nation, is not aiding the
Chinese revolutionaries. 1t is true
that DR.. Sun Yat Sen and his associ-
ates are seeking refuge in Japan. This,
however, does not mean that the Jap
anese are secretly helping these men.
Japan is anxious that China SHOULD
establish permanent stable govern
ment, whether republicans or monarch
ial. There is no foundation whatever
for the allegation so common in Ameri-
ca these days that Japan is trying to
gobble up China. The history of the
Chinese people shows that they have
strong tenacity as race if not as a
state. The Chinese people absorbed
many races that came to conquer them.
Japan hopes that, in the resuscitation
of the country, she will find valuable
ally in the safeguarding of Asia.
1t is, however, up to China whether
she viii become ultimately an effici'
ent, strong nation, or sne will meet the
fate of deeadent nations like Korea. If
she proves utterly incapable of ,rehabil
itating her own affairs, her independ
ence will be menaced from within, moi
from without.

THE VALUE OF TRUTH

Truth in businessis just as important

confidence, establishes goodwill and
builds a reliability that will not be

STOMACH TROUBLE SAID TO
BE DUE TO ACIDITY
A Physician Advice on Cause and
Cure
A New York Physician who has made
special study Of stomach and intes-
final diseases says that nearly all intes.
final troubles, as well as many diseases
Of the vital organs, are directly trace
able to deranged condition Of the
stomach. This in turn is due about nine
times out of ten to excessive acidity,
commonly termed sour stomach or
heartburn, which not only irritates and
inflames the delicate linind of the
stomach but also may set up gastritis
and in q large majority of eases gastric
ulcers are accompanied by hyperacidity.
1t is interesting to note that lie con-
demns the use of patent medicines, and
practically all medical treatment that
is designed to act upon the stomach
lining, stating that the best results
are obtained by. the use of simple
antacid which acts upon the contents
Of the stomach and neutralizes the
aeidity Of the food thus removing the
source OF the trouble. AS an antacid
he prescribes ordinary bisurated mag
nesia. He contends that it is as foolish
to treat the stomach itself as it would
be FOR man who stepped on q tack
to rub linament on the foot without
first removing the tack. Remove the
tack and the foot will heal itself
neutralize the acid and the stomach
troubles viii disappear. Irritating
medicines and medical treatments are
useless, SO long as the contents of the
stomach remains acid; remove the
acidity and there will be no need for
medicine-the inflamed lining Of the
stomach will then heal itself. Suffer.
ers from acidity, sour stomach and
heartburn should get a small bottle of
bisurated magnesa from their drug
gist, and take teaspoonful in quar-.
ter Of glass Of hot or cold water after
each meal, repeating in fifteen min.
utes, If necessary, this being the dose
which the doctor has found most
efficaeious in all cases.

Why " Anuric" Is an
INSURANCE
Against Sudden Death.

Before an Insurance Company will
take a risk on your life the examining
physician will test the urine and report
whether you are a good risk. When
your kidneys get sluggish and clog,
you suffer from backache, sick-head-
ache, dizzy spells, or the twinges and
pains of lumbago, rheumatism and
gout. The urine is often cloudy, full
Of sediment; channels often get sore
and sleep is disturbed two or three
times a night. This is the time you
should consult some physician OF wide
experience-such as DR.. Pierce OF the
Invalids' Hotel and Surgical Institute,
Buffalo, N. Y. Send him 10 cents for
sample package Of his new discovery,
rAnuric." Write him your symptoms
and send sample of urine for test.
Experience has taught DR.. Pierce that
vAnuric" is the most powerful agent
in dissolving uric acid, as hot water
melts sugar; besides being absolutely
harmless it is endowed with other
properties, for it preserves the kidneys
in healthy condition by thoroughly
cleansing them. Being SO many times
more active than lithia, it clears the
heart valves OF any sandy substances
which may clog them and checks the
degeneration of the blood vessels, as
well as regulating blood pressure.
"Anuric" is a regular insurance and
life-saver for all big meat eaters and those
who deposit lime-salts in their joints.
Ask the druggist for OAnuric" put up
by DR.. Pierce, in 50-cent packages.

PHlLANTHRoPlc MILLIoNAiRES.

American contributions to the pur' poses of philanthropy in the year 1914 amounted to the tremendous to- tai of s315, 5,Ooo,o00 Despite business depression, our people of wealth gave more freely than ever before. With smaller incomes, they increased their benefactions in proportion to the greater need.
 The unexampled generosity of our millionaires comes largely from the feeling that their wealth is not pre-. cisely theirs, and this vague public to which they give it in the form oi libraries, colleges, settlements, meii cal research, relief work and what not, actually helped to earn 1t, and that the very rich man is in truth

restoring rather than bestowing when he unburdens himself of the wealth he does not need. Out of the complexity of modern life we are learning what all knew in simple, primitive life-that all of us are in the same boat, and society is un- it rather than collection of go-as- you-please individuals with might making right for the strongest.
 No thinking man today will ques- .tion that the possessor of $100, ,O01,- 900 ought to give away large part of it for the benefit of the less for. tunate. It is but step from this view to the conviction that no man should be permitted to accumulate $1OO O,OOO, ,OOO, that no man is so much bigger, wiser and better than his fel- lows that he deserves so much IS that, no matter how honestly he may have earned it according to the rules of changing game. And, of course, no individual or family can use a hundred millions, or half, or quar- ter of it. When man passes the million dollar mark-or make it five millions, if you prefer-wRat he seeks is no longer security from want and the fear of want, no long, CT the satisfaction of necessities, comforts or even luxuries, but the exercise of power. And there is q growing inclination on the part of the multi-millionaires co-worker, society, to limit such power through law.
 Eventually there may be few big fortunes in America, or anywhere else. Then there can be few such princely benevolences as have char acterized the last few years. But then, there will probably be less oc- casion for them. Americans feel in- stinctively that the problem of pov- erty is not insoluble. The same pow CT that may curtail the growth of vast fortunes may, by wise measures, at least restrict the spread of pov' erty, and may itself assume the duty, now so largely in private hands, of relieving such need as is inevitable. We are therefore, likely to see less and less private charity in the fu- ture. Perhaps we are now near the high-w water mark. The frenzied giv- ing away of millions may forebode the end of the era of selfish accum- ulation. If the present philanthropic tendency goes much farther, our mul- ti-millionaires will no longer boast of their millions; they will apologize for tham Ky

Height of the Panama Canal.

The middle section of the Panama canal, thirty-four miles long, has a wa ter level of eighty-five feet higher than the two end sections, which are sea levels. Vessels entering the canal from the ocean on either side are lifted to the middle section, height of eighty five feet, by three sets of locks. each of which raises the vessel fraction over twenty-eight feet, making total of eighty-five feet. These locks are constructed side by side like double track railway, so that one ship may be going up while the other is going down. Only one ship can be in lock at the same time. but as the locks are con- structed in pairs. side by side. two ships going in opposite directions. one going up the incline and the other go- ing down, may pass each other within hailing distance. Vessels are lowed through the locks by electric ma chinery.-Philadelph Press.

EXERCISE AND EATING.
Remember That a Tired Stomach Is a
 Weak Stomach.

A good dinner at night is necessary for those whose pleasure or work keeps them up very late. But for or dinary folk, who dine at 6 or and go to bed about 1O:30, only a light. whole some repast should be taken at the end of the day, when muscles or nerves are more or less exhausted. says q physician.
 A "tircd stomach is weak stom- ach'' is golden rule to remember. Yet how often one hears people say: I've been rushing about all day, and am tired to death. I must have a big meal to make up for it!' You may put the big meal into the stomach. but you cannot make the stomach digest it.
 A belief lives strong in the hearts and minds of the majority of man. kind, including persons of weak diges- tion, that a quick brisk walk taken before meal gets up an appetite and helps the stomach digest the food. Now, this is exactly what it doesn't do. Exercise spreads the blood through the body. The old fashioned midday dinner is not bad thing.-Washing ton Star.

A BEER PARADOX.

Officers of the $12,OO0,000 brewery company at Columbus, O., which went into the hands of a receiver, after a long and formerly prosperous career, give as the cause of their failure decreased demand for beer, adverse legislation and the voting dry of many states and counties" served by it.
 Yet, curiously enough, in the face of this plaintive showing, and the claims of prohibition gains in the country as whole, the manufacture and consumption of beer continues to increase enormously Only few days ago the annual report of the in- ternal revenue department to con- gress disclosed the fact that the 'o- tai production of fermented liquors, for the most part beer, increased con siderably more than 860,000 barrels, the total being over 66,000,000 barrels as compared with only 40,000,000 bar rels in 1901. It would be interesting and instructive if some of the ex- perts on both sides of the liquor question would come forward with a satisfactory explanation of this pal pablo paradox. It would, perhaps, shed much. light on the true status of tippling as national habit Philadelphia Bulletin.

Probably.

At dinner one evening discussion arose about the peculiar customs in foreign countries. One gentleman told of the Chinese customs, which are nearly all the exact reverse of our own. "They use white for mourning. black for rejoicing and mourn at birth while they rejoice at death." he re- marked. "The needle of their com pass points to the south. and they draw the saw toward them to cut. These customs may easily be account ed for, but there remains one which cannot explain. Why do they take their soup at the end of the meal in- stead of at the beginning?"
