BY Mrs. Nettie Hallen-
beck.

The prohibition party will be
factor in the campaign of 1916.
In 1920 ii will carry the nation.
Those not in touch with the
present movement for union OF
reform forces may wonder at this
statement, but
For Al years the prohibition
party has shouted The Liquor
Traffic Must Go" and held up the
ideal of sober nation. Recent
ly its propaganda has been re-
inforced by many other agencies,
and agitations.
Business has discovered alcohol
hurts. Corporations have tabooed
drinking employees. Men have be-
gun to think in terms of efficien-
cy and national efficiency appears
a farce while we squander $10,-
600, 100000 a year for drink and
to pay the losses it entas.

G.. o. P.'s Won't Do It.

So the American people have
decided in their own minds the
time has come to abolish the
whole drink business. This Is in
dicated by the trend of elections
in the last two years and even
more by the fact that for the first
time in 30 years prominent poll
ticians and great newspapers
have lost their fear of the liquor
power and are speaking out
against il.
Now when the American people
make up their minds to do a
thing and the politicians see that
1t is going to be done, the prob
lem then becomes one merely of
getting together to do it.
And they are getting together
politically for that purpose.
Where?
In the prohibition party.
Some would have liked to unite
in the republican party but they
can't. Party traditions, history
and leadership all make it i'm.
possible. Already the word has
gone out from republican lead
ers that prohibition will not be
endorsed in the republican plat
form

WHAT DYSPEPTICS
SHOULD EAT

Indigestion and practically all
forms of stomach trouble, about
nine times out of ten, are due to
hyperaeidity; therefore stomach
sufferers should, whenever posi-
BILE, avoid eating food that is acid
in its nature, or which by chem
ical action in the stomach devel-
ops acidity. Unfortunately, such
rule eliminates most foods
which are pleasant to the taste
as well as those which are rich in
blood, flesh and nerve building
properties. This is the reason
why dyspeptics and stomach suf-
ferers are usually so thin. enact
ated and lacking In that vital en-
ergy which can only come from a
well fed body. For the benefit
of those sufferers who have been
Obliged to exclude from their diet
all starchy, sweet or fatty food,
and are trying to keep up a mis-
cradle existence on gluten pro-
ducts, ii is suggested that you try
a meal of any food or foods which
you like, in moderate amount,
taking Immediately afterwards a
teaspoonful Of Bisurated Mag
nesia in little hot or cold water.
This will neutralize any excess
acid which may be present, or
which may be formed, and in
stead of the usual feeling of I'M
easiness and fullness, you prob
ably will find that your food
agrees with you perfectly. There
is nothing better than Bisurated
Magnesia as a food corrective and
antacid. 1t has no direct action
on the stomach; but by neutral
izing the acidity OF the food con-
tents, and thus removing the
source of the acid irritation
which inflames the delicate stom-
ach lining, II does more than
could be possibly done by any
drug or medicine that acts upon
the stomach lining rather than
the stomach contents. Medicines
of various kinds should be taken
whenever necessary but there is
no sense in dosing an inflamed
and irritated stomach with drugs
instead OF getting rid OF the acid
the cause Of the trouble. Get
a little Bisurated Magnesia from
your druggist, eat what you want
at your next meal. take some Of
the Bisurated Magnesia, az d.
rected above. and see II this isn't
the best advice you ever had on
the ubject OF eating.

CATARRH GERMS
EASILY KILLED
Only Way To Cure This Disease Is
TO Destroy Its Cause,

Only Way To Cure This Disease Is
TO Destroy Its Cause.
If you have catarrh and want
to get rid of it you must kill the
germs which cause catarrh. Stom-
ach dosings, ointments, sprays,
creams, douches, etc., fail because
they overlook this fact. They
all help by giving temporary re-
lief but they do not reach the
germ life that has found lodge
ment in your head, nose, throat,
and could not destroy it IL they
did.
The best known way of destroy
ing the dangerous germs of Ca
tarrh and consequently ending the
disease itself, is to breathe into
the air passages of your nose and
throat the pleasant, penetrating
air of Hyomei pronounced High
o-me). Hyomei is made from
purest oil of Eucalyptus COM
bined with other powerful, heal
ing, antiseptic and germicidal in
gradients. Your breathe 1t

which Grown Drug Co., 1892 Pa

druggists in Tacoma and vicinity
are furnishing with every COM
plete treatment sold. Every time
you inhale the sweet, fragrant air
of Hyomei through this little de-
vice, you are drawing into your
swollen, inflamed, germ laden
membranes a medicated air which
will not only reduce all the swell
ing and inflammation and open
your clogged nose and stopped
up air passages, but will absolute

trace of Catarrh germ life 1t
reaches. Druggists are so sure of
the blessed, lasting relief that
Hyomei brings to catarrh suffer-
ers that they sell 1t invariably on
the positive guarantee that money
paid will be refunded IL success

He delivered rear platform

would await official dispatches
before considering the position the
U. s. government will take.
L. 8. Navy Ready.
Although the present naval
force is Inadequate in size, the
United States has made naval
preparations for immediate war,
declared President Wilson last
night in an address before several
thousand people in the Auditorium
here.

1--WE have given to the present
fleet an organization such as it
never had before. / am told by
Admiral Fletcher, and we have
made preparations for immediate
war SO far as the navy is con-
cerned.
THE army, as at present con-
stituted, is not large enough even
for the ordinary duties of peace.

have announced the democratic
party will not put prohibition in

The progressive party had its
chance in 1912. The prohibition
party sent a committee to its con-

Opportunities, however, con-
