Time to Launch Suggestion.

Just as the Mexican dificulty marked
the right moment to launch the joint
mediation suggestion. so I believe this
to be the opportune time to initiate
the campaign for freeing all these col
onies, because never before have the
European governments owning them
been in a position SO to welcome the
cash payment that we should be willing
nay, glad-to offer for such freeing
of pan-American territory. Such an al
truistic act would ring especially true
as coming from a nation that had spent
millions in freeing Cuba. Furthermore.
am sure that many of the South
American powers would insist in par
ticipating with US in paying the few
millions which the freedom OF these
colonies would cost. / say few millions
advisedly, because almost none of these
colonies are paying ones, while as
naval bases they would only have value
against us-a hypothesis too ridiculous
to 80 figured in their sale price.
Peace never can be assured on the
Pacific until our sister nation Japan
becomes convinced that what we preach
on the eastern shores of that ocean we
are willing to practice on the western.
There is no use Disgusting the fact that
many Americans feel that we are and
ought to be the natural protector OF
China against what they call Japanese
aggression. Until we definitely exor-
else that international bogey we will
never gain that complete confidence of
Japan which will spell continued peace
on the Pacific. We have a reasonable
right to curb any and every outside ma
tion from intruding on this side of the
Pacific, but absolutely no right to in
terfere with their expansion on it's
other side, just so long as it does not
interfere with our treaty rights under
the most favored nation clause.
That veteran diplomatist, Gen. John
w Foster, once Secretary of State and
father-in-law of our present Secretary.
holds that the Clayton-Bulwer treaty
marks the most serious mistake in
our diplomatic history. and is the sin
gle instance of a tacit disavowal or
disregard of the Monroe doctrine by
the adm ssion of Great Britain to an
equal participation in the protection
and control of a great American en-
terprise." John Hay. when Secretary
of State. did his best to correct this
state of affairs. and the result Of his
efforts was the first Hay-Pauncefote
treaty.
The annullment of the Hay-Paunce-
fote treaty should be made part Of the
sale price of the Philippine Islands"

U. S. WARNS
 DYSPEPTICS
WAY TO TREAT INDTGEsTTor


 Sufferers from indigestion and ner- vous dyspepsia who have been relying upon frequent doses of pepsin, soda dfatase, nan-creatin, trypsin, etc, as contained in various patent digestive remedies. in order to obtain relief are warned by the U. S. Dept. Of Agricul- ture that investigation shows that of ten such preparations stay too long on the druggists shelves deterioratine in quality so that their digestive activity and value is lost.
 stomach trouble and indigestion are nearly always due to acidity-acfd Stornach-and not, as many people be- lieve, to a. lack of digestive juices. This acid ferments the food in the stomach and causes trouble. But if you cor rect or neutraIize the acfdity with some simple. harmless antacid, the distress, sourness, bloating, etc., will cease and painless digestion becomes an easy matter of course.
 He says to lay aside all pepsin pills, soda mint tablets, salts and other di- 3gestive aids, and to get from any druggist small bottle of plain Bisu- rated Magnesfa and take one or two teaspoonfuls in 9 quarter glass of hot or cold water after meals. Bisurated Magnesia will promptly stop the stomach acidfty and so end all sto1n- ach distress Insist, however, on citrated Magnesia will not stop stom- ach acidfty at all. Most druggists carry the genuine bisurated form in both powder and tablets selling it only in sealed bottles which insure it's full strength and purity.
