WILL MAKE ROADS
OBEY S-HOUR LAW
Senator NewIands Believes Pen
atty Would Compel CompIi.
ance-Way Open for Battle.

The Government will proceed to en-
force the eight-hour law passed by Con-
gress to avert the nationwide railroad
strike on petition from any employe to
whom the new working conditions are
refused. Senator Newiands. chairman OF
the 1nterotate Commerce Committee,
said today. when shown the announce
ment Of President Ripley. OF the Santa
Fe that his road will not comply with
the law.
THE penalty provided would be OPP
erntive to compel compliance on the
part OF the railroads" said Newlands.
THE matter Of procedure. however. has
not been considered. I should say. how
ever, that the railroads would not be
likely to allow themselves to get into
the position where they would be COM
PEELED to comply with the law and pay
the men the increased wages while the
appeal tosthe courts was In progress. as
there would seem to be no practical
way for the railroads to collect the
money they would have paid out to the
men during the proceedings in the
courts"
While confederation was given by Of
fic!als to the hint that the Santa Fe Is
preparing to fight the law as a test
case. officials generally do not believe
such a proposed legal battle actually
will be staged.
Should the Santa Fe decide on a fight
two avenues would be open to It's Of
ficials. One would be for the road to
refuse to operate. Either would bring
the matter before the courts. and make
certain the rendering OF an opinion on
the law by the Supreme Court.

WHAT DYSPEPTICS
SHOULD EAT
A PHYSICIANS ADVICE.

indigestion and practically all forms Of
stomach troaibis are. nine times out Of ten,
due to acidity; therefore stomach sufferers
should. whenever possible, avoid eating food
that 10 acid In It's nature. or which by cherni-
cal action In the stomach develops acidity.
Unfortunately, such a rule eliminates most
foods which are pleasant to the taste a. we'll
as those which are rich In blood. flesh and
nerve building properties. This 10 the reason
why dyspeptics and stomach sufferers are
usually 90 thin. emacisted and lacking In that
vital energy which can only come from Q
well fed body.
For the benent Of those sufferers who have
been obliged to exclude from their diet all
starchy. sweet or fatty food. and are trying
TO keep up . miserable existence on gluten
products. would suggest that you should try
4 meal OF any food or foods which you may
like. In moderate amount. taking Immediately
/ afterwards q teaspoonful OF bisurated mag
| nesis In a little hot or cold water. This will
| neutraiise any acid which may be present Or
which may be formed. and instead Of TIE
| usual feeling Of uneasiness AID fnllness. you
will nnd that your food asrees with you per-
| fectiy.
I know Of nothing better than plain bisur-
| ated magnesia as a food corrective and ant
acid. II has no direct action on the stomach; ;
but by neutralizing the acidity Of the food
| contents. and thus removing the source Of the
| acid Irritation which innames the delicate
| stomach lining. II does more than could pos
| sibly be done by any drug OF medicine.
| AZ a physician, believe in the use Of medi-
| cine whenever necessary, but ! must admit
| that I cannot see the sense OF dosing an In
famed and irritated stomach with drugs In
stead of getting rid OF the acid-the cause Of
/ Ali the trouble. Get a little bisurated mag
nesia from your druggist. eat what you want
at your next meal. take some OF the oisui.

President Must

Any Kind of Pen
Though He Prefers Them Soft, He

which they are Interested are signed:
Ordinarily the President uses a soft

approving important measures OF legis-
lntion he has used every variety OF pen:
The eight-hour railroad bill he signed
with four ordinary pens with steel points
ana black wood holders.
In afhxing the name Woodrow VIII
son" to this act. he signed one syllable
with each pen, his intention being TO
forward one pen to each OF the heads
or the four brotherhoods.
In signing the Philippine bill he used
q pen furnished for the occasion by

from the Philippines. 1t was gold

In signing the bills OF lading oct. he
