Important to Dispose of Waste
from the Stomach With

People frequently attribute to fail

that are primarily due to inactive
bowels, and apply remedies that from
their very nature are more apt to ag-

When the bowels act regularly the
stomach is in better shape to perform
its allotted tasks and can usually be
depended upon. To keep the bowels in
condition there is no more effective
remedy than the combination Of simple

CONFLICT HELD
FROM UNITED STATES MERELY
BY ARMS LENGTH, SAYS WILSON
His Message to Chamber of Commerce of United States
speaks His Determination Keep out of War

Washington, Feb. 11.-Delegates to
the annual convention of the Cham
Der of Commerce of the United States
left for their homes today, carrying
with them a message from President
Wilson, the outstanding feature of
which was his determination to keep
the United States out of the European
conflict, although he declared that the
nation merely held that trouble at
arms length.
The President was speaking on neu-
trality at the annual banquet of the
chamber, which was the concluding
feature Of the three days convention.
The President also spoke of the need
merchant marine.
"Cruei" misunderstanding
ut is cruel thing" said the Presi
dent, ito have it supposed as it is in
many quarters, that we have kept out
Of this war. simply because we want
ed to keep out of trouble and simply
because we wanted to profit by the
trouble Of others: and yet misunder
standings for the time being are not
to be reckoned as against the con-
seriousness that We must ourselves
have that we have pursued the right
and only serviceable course.
Il have this to say, however: We
hold this trouble at arms length and
keep or attempt to keep our own
judgments cool; but the rest of the
world is hot and it may be that any
time without our cooperation and
without our ability to stop It the
flame may extend to US. And. there
fore, am glad that the United States
has been in a position to mobilize its
financial resources and to get into the
position which it must at length get
into whether it wants to or not.
IF only we can keep this great ma
ton at peace-there is an infinite
prospect of happy prosperity before
the United States"
The President spoke Of the Federal
reserve law, saying:
when you reflect what might have
happened if our banking system had
at the outset of this war been the
clumsy and antiquated thing it was
three years ago, you will realize that
not only might we not have escaped
disaster. but that disaster might have
been so prolonged that it would have
to occupy the position she now occu-
pies"
The President told of the necessity OF
a scientific tariff board and said he thought
the nation would get it.
