Joseph S. Smith at the Bangor
House, Tuesday evening. Major Will

raised the question as to what is to
be done with the National Soldiers
Homes, an interesting query. These
homes are ten in number. of which
that at Hampton, Va. to the COVER
norship Of which General Smith has
recently been appointed, Is second n
size caring for some 1000 veterans.
There are many millions invested in
these homes and In the course of
events In another decade there will
be very few soldiers to tenant them.
Major Clayton suggests that It may
be well to use them eventually. when
their present usefulness is exhausted.

pressing the belief that the United
States will hereafter institute a new
policy Of preparedness. calling for u
larger army, and 1t IL by no means

across" with the desired Endorsement.
He has an unrivalled digestion. but
he Quails at eating his own words on
this subject Of a single term in the
Presidency
Accordingly. Wilson has moved upon
Bryan from another angle. He has
begun to chasten him through the
power Of patronage.
Over in the Treasury Department
there has been one lone Republican
among the higher of1icers-W. E. An
drws Of Nebraska, former member
of Congress. whom Mckinley appoint
ed as Auditor Of the Treasury way
back in 1897. 1t is a $4,000 job and
many a Democrats mouth has wa
tered for it. Mr.. Andrews followed
the traditions Of the service and re-
signed March 5, 1913. but it was only
last week that his resignation was ac-
cepted.
This particular piece of patronage
was claimed for Nebraska and Bryan
had candidate for 1t, SO had Senator
Hitchcock, also. Neither the secre-
tary nor the senator would yield. and
the Presidents original policy Of
choking Bryan with butter, forbade
that he should offend him by taking
up Hitchcock's man.
But now that Bryan has hesitated
to join the second-term chorus and so
long as his purposes toward Wilson's
ambitions are shrouded in mystery.
the President has selected a harsher
methoc-and all of sudden, without
warning, he selected Hitchcock's man
for Andrews job.

How to Prevent
Acid StOmachs and
Food Fermentation
BY a Stomach Specialist

AS a specialist who has spent many
years in the study and treatment of
stomach troubles, 1 have been forced to
the conclusion that most people who
complain of stomach trouble possess
stomachs that are absolutely healthy and
normal. The real trouble. that which
causes all the pain and difficulty, is ex-
cessive acid in the stomach, aggravated
by food fermentation. Hyper-acidity
irritates the delicate lining of the stom-
ach and food fermentation causes wind
which distends the stomach abnormally,
causing that full bloated feeling. Thus
both acid and fermentation interfere with
and retard the process of digestion. 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 80 per cent. of all stomach difficult
ties-the first and only step necessary is
to neutralize the acid and stop the fer
mentation by taking in little warm or
cold water Immediately after eating,
from one to two teaspoonfuls of bisurat-
ed magnesia, which is doubtless the best
and only really effective antacid and food
corrective known. The acid will be neu-
tralized and the fermentation stopped al
most Instantly, and your stomach will at
once proceed to digest the food in a
healthy, normal manner. Be sure to ask
John Coughlin or any druggist for the
bisurated magnesia, as l have found
other forms utterly lacking in it's pecu-
liarly valuable properties.-F. j. G.-Adv.

Is It the German Answer?


The delay Of the German reply to
President Wilson's note, Of such vital
interest to the American pepole, be-
comes Of secondary importance to the
compound question, was the Nebras-
kan torpedoed, or did she strike a
floating mine?"
II the first proposition is confirmed
then we may accept it as the German
If the German government is found
responsible for an attack upon an
American merchant steamer homeward
bound, what need OF reply to the
American note? Why make further
protest to that government?
The American Department Of State
will. undoubtedly await full particu =
lars in an official report before refer
ence to the Nebraskan's accident in
communication with any other govern
ment. The public should as calmly
await the facts. We should not hast
lily place this act at the door of Ger
many. She already has plenty for
which to answer and If mine was
struck the incident has no significance
whatever. 1t is what may be expected
at any hour by any craft sailing At
lantic waters. The mines that were
turned loose will be standing menace
perhaps for years to come. The inhu-
man folly of setting them adrift is
another matter.
On the other hand. if Germany has
deliberately continued her policy Of
discharging torpeodes at every vessel
appearing in the waters about the
British Isles, and has attempted to
blow up an unarmed neutral trading
ship bound for the American coast and
flying the American flag her name
promiscuously emblazoned along her
side, then no situation between the
two nations could be more serious.
Germany could not justify or explain
such an act and the attempt would be
an insult. She might as well entirely
ignore the American note. The next
move would be our own.
