A Physicians Advice on Cause and

: A famous physician whose success
full researches into the cause and cure
Of stomach and intestinal diseases
have earned for him an international
reputation, said in the course OF re-
cent lecture that nearly all Intestinal
troubles, as we'll as many diseases OF
the vital organs, were directly trace
able to deranged condition OF the
stomach which In turn was due nine
times out OF ten to excessive acid1ty,
commonly termed sour stomach or
heartburn, which not only irTitated
and inflamed the delicate lining OF
the stomach, but also set up gastritis
and stomach ulcers. II Is interesting
to note that he condemns the use Q.
patent medicines as well as OF medical
treatment for the stomach, stating
that he and his colleagues have Sc.
cured remarkable results by the use
of ordinary bisurated Inagnesia, which
by neutralizing the acidity Of the TODD,
removes the source Of the tropble. be
contends that It. is as foolish to treat
the stomach itself as it would be Tor
a man who stepped on q tack to run

moving the tack. Remove the tack
and the foot will heal itself-neutraL
ize the acid and the stomach troubles
will disappear. Irritating medicines
and medical treatments are useless
SO long as the contents Of the stomach
remain acid; remove the acidity, and
there will be no need for medicine
the infiamed lining of the stomach
will then heal itself. Sufferers from
acfdity, sour stomach or heartburn
should get small bottle of bisuratec

THE JITNEY AND CHICAGO

It would be interesting to know
just what part the humble "jitneys"
played in the quick submission to
, arbitration of the differences that
brought about Chicago's street car
strike. Unconsciously, the "jitneys"
played the roles of strike breakers.
On Monday, the first day of the
strike, it was estimated that about
$4,000 "jitneys," both regulars and
volunteers, hauled about half mil
lion passengers. Chicago's daily
street car traffic is said to be about
100000 persons. Therefore, right
off the bat, the "jitneys" came to the
rescue in 30 per cent of the cases,
and on the second day of the strike
about 10000 more cars were pressed
into service.
The strikers must have recognized
that their weapon was made less ef-
fective so long as the public could
ride gayly about by another means
of transportation. The owners prob.
ably were most anxious to resume
operations to avoid cultivating the
"jitney" habit any more than was
necessary. Many conservative per.
sons who would not willingly try the
"jitney," if forced to it might adopt
it as a regular thing.
Though the "jitney" is not men
toned by either party to the arbi
tration it looks as if the newcomer
already had played the part of {
hero. Cities without public utilitie.
commissions might find in the "jit
ney" a palliative for poor service
If Chicago does not, in the future
treat the little strangers kindly, it il
lacking in a sense of gratitude.

and the conquest of Constantinople; /;
Roumania with the allies means a
new and powerful enemy on the
flank of Austria and reversal, per-
haps, of the fortunes of the war in
the east; Holland would provide not
only new army, but base from
which to outfank the German lines
in the west.
Because Of the tedious difficulties
of perfecting alliances and coali-
tions, the war must go on indefi-
nitely. 1t can only be set down,
now, as very certain that there will
be no new accessions to the Ger
manic side. IF more Of the minor
states enter the arena, they will en-
ter on the side of the allies. OF
that much we may be assured. They
want to keep out; they will come in
if they are convinced that their fu-
ture existence is at stake. 1t is not
impossible that the Russian demon.
alization in Galicia may help, rather
than hinder, the negotiations to ex'
tend yet further the area of war.

though, that all the scales in WASH
ington give correct weight, though
the intentions Of the merchants may
be perfectly honest.
In the Capital the trouble has
been with the lack Of an adequate
inspection force, rather than with
any dishonesty on the part of deal
ers. Many merchants here have
formed the habit Of applying for
tests to be made of their scales, and
such applications have tested the
capacity of the office. Housewives,
too, should be encouraged to bring
their scales to the official testers,
for there is no surer corrective of
inaccurate weighing by dealers than
checking up by the housekeeper.
Some scales here are not regular
ly inspected at all, such as those Of
! jewelers., because there are not in
spectors enough. The equipment
here is also insufficient for testing
very large scales, such as those
used in weighing coal, and wagor
loads of grain.
These things have been called t.
the attention of Congress through
the Commissioners, upon recommen
dation of the Superintendent o:
Weights, Measures and Markets
There is no way Of insuring correc
weights save by regular and fre
quent inspections of scales. AS loni
as cheap scales are on the marke
they will get out Of order. The bes
evidence that the trouble is not in
territorial dishonesty lies in the fac
that many of the scales tested her
are found to be over weight.

Motorman Has Classified Various
Sorts of Drivers

To the Editor OF THE TIMES:
There appeared in The Times OF
June 10 an article containing a state
ment to the effect that the Safety First
Association at a regular meeting held
at the Public Library the night pre-
vious, adopted resolution to be pre-
sented to the heads of the various street
railway companies operating in the Dis
trct OF Columbia, requesting them TO
| instruct their motormen to signal 10
vehicles at crossings by wave OF the
| hand whether they want the vehicle to
| stop or proceed.
There is no doubt in the mind of tho
writer but that the above request, IL
put in effect, will greatly aid trat1ic
| regulation at street intersections, with
| safety, providing the drivers of such
| ceive their cue, to stop or proceed. from
| the motorman, and not to act upon
their own initiative. as at present;
1t might also be worth while to bring 10
the attention of the association the fact
| that drivers of vehicles in Washington
and vicinity are divided into practically
! three classes. the first class, comprls-
| ing about 20 per cent of the total num-
Der CT such drivers. Is composed of sane,
| sensible law-abiding persons.
| The second class. or about so per cent
of the whole, is mainly composed or
persons who appear to be utterly obliv-
ious to everything except the other oc-
cupants of the vehicle, which they are
supposed to be driving. or are under
the impression that street cars and other
heavy vehicles are, or should be, able
to stop instantly.
The third class comprises the re-
naming 80 per cent, and is composed,
principally, of those persons who are
engaged in plotting coal, brick, dirt. and
other heavy, slow moving vehicles along
the city streets, and who. by the aid or
John BarlcyCorn" and his assistants.
are imbued with a spirit of heroism.
that is they labor under the delusion
that it is an act of bravery on their
part to drive their heavy wagon across
the track lust in front of a street ear
with its freight Of human beings, or.
perhaps they may elect to drive down
the center of the street directly In
|. front of a car. thus delaying traffic,
even though there Is sufficient room at
; either side.
AS a suggestion along the line of
safety first" and as possible remedy
, for some of the above mentioned condi-
tions the writer would suggest that
drivers of all vehicles traversing the
procure a license as such, chauffeurs OF
n 60-horsepower automobile or a one
, mule power coal cart, and in the event
, of their being guilty. either through
negligence or intent. of doing that
which might teopardize the safety OF
: others. their license be revoked for a
} stated period, and that they be forbid
den, under penalty of fine or imprtson'
, ment. to drive anv vehicle on the city
streets during that period of time

Story.
To the Editor OF THE TIMES:
l refer to your issue of June II. 1S15.
page IL, column g. in which is printed
an illustrative story told by Mr.. Bryan
to the newspaper men gathered at his
home on Friday morning. which runs
as follows.
"A Congressman. he said. re-
plying to lingo speech made
statement which has reached me In
directly. The Congressman said.
While am personally against war.
/ am IN favor of the country having
what 1t wants. II 1t wants war let
us have war. but let us first make
sure that the country wants war.
/ would suggest a ballot be taken
and let those who vote for war do
so with the understanding that they
will be the first called on to serve.
| and that those who vote against war
shall not be called on until those
| who voted for war have expended all
| their Efforts
! DO you approve OF those senti-
ments?' Mr.: Bryan was as asked: asked :.
| "'You might say l still believe In
| the right of the people to rule. The
| Congressman's suggestion might in
| sure deliberate action on the part
| of the voters.
| Mr.. Bryan in his customary illogical
| manner of viewing af1alrS mas 1alled 10
see that the question before the country
| is not whether she desires war, but
whether she desires an honorable peace.
To this question an American can mako
but one reply. If 1t be necessary TO
carry on warfare to secure this END.
MIR. Bryan and the anonymous Con-
gressman to whom he accredits tho
story, will find enough Americans who
are willing to put aside all thought OF
self In order that their country may
continue her honorable existence.
| / am of the opinion that the majority
of Americans still believe as did Charles
c. F'inckney, that we have millions
for defense, but not one cent for
tribute
Up to date most Of the talking has
, been done by the peace at any price
, ! advocates. These cranks. as all other
form a slim minority and in many In
; stances have been financed by gentle
man whose main desire appears to be
|, the disruption Of the political system OF
this republic. It would be well foi
these persons to cogitate the words ol
, the historian, Tacitus "Miseram pacer
vel beuo bene nlutari." GA peace NAY
