Commercial Failures

The Press Bureau Of the Democrat
il National Committee is out in
statement that there is one Republican
business rec I'd which the Democratic
party has not been able 10 demolish,
and that is the total commercial failure
liabilities during the Republican years
ST 1907 and 1908 This is an example
Of the uatruthIul statements issued BY
this bureau and Of the misrepTesenta-
tion the voter will have to contend
with in the coming campaign.
The total commercial failure lia5ili
ties for the year 1907 amounted to
$l97,3S5,22S00 and fer the year
1908 $222,3l5, 5,6S40 This latter
year had the largest amount o! failure
liabilities Of any Republican year in
history, but it has been exceeded BY
every year OF the present Wilson ad'
miuiS'ratlon.
In 1918, the commercia, failure LA
bilities amounted to S272,672,228 90;
in 1914, $357,908,859 %; and IN
1915, 1902, ,286,18 90. This last
year, while showing falling # III Ii j.
bililics, showed large increase in the
number Of failures, indicating that the
smaller business man was unable to
withstand the usual effect of Demo
cratic administration, but that the Iarg
er ones and particularly those riiected
by the foreign war orders, were better
able to Withstand the strain.
Individual years are not lair illus
,ration. Take the sixteen republican
years from Mckinley to Taft, and we
find that the amount Of commercial
failure liabilities averaged Sl52,294,
024.00 ayear. During the three years
Of the Wilson administration, the
amount Of these liabilities averaged
$3l0,955,765.0O a year. This is an
increase Of l04 per cent over Republi
can years and shows Democratic
Prosperity" in all Of its splendor.
That the failures under the Wilson
administration are not unusual for
Democratic years will be seen by the
fact that during the four years Of Cleve'
lands administration, the amount Of
commercial failure liabilities averaged
1929, ,766,4l0,00 year, this being 81
per cent larger than the average for
the sixteen Republican years following
Cleveland. Taking into consideration
the smaller volume OF business under
the Cleveland administration, the record
Of commercial ruin is about on the par
with that Of the Wilson administration.
Measured BY every test and page OF
history, Democracy spells ruin and dis
aster Tor our business world. Were it
not for the spotted prosperity based on
the blood and misery Of Europe,
the commercial ruin in this country
would be even worse than during the
last Democratic administration.

Democratic newspapers telling US
that our trade balance in 1916 is enor
mously greater than 1912. True, but
do not our Democratic friends point to
the trade balance during the period the
Underwood law was in effect prior to
the outbreak Of the European war;
That is the only period with which 10
make fair comparison. Everybody
knows cur present trade is abnormal

SOLD|ES'
BUFFET IN
LONDON
AVERAGE OF FOUR THOUSAND
SOLDIERS FED DAILY AT THE
VICTORIA RAILWAY STATION IN
LONDON.

London, Jan. 6-The history of the
soldiers refreshment buffet in Victoria
Station, London, is in a small way
the history of British effort in the war.
The buffet began in loose and un-
organized fashion, more or less help
less from lack of precedent, and grad
ually developed until it now repre-
sents high efficiency backed by a
steady determination to see the thing
out to the end.
All the early organizations have con
centrated their efforts in a single man
agement which dispense $3.50 worth
of tea, coffee, cocoa, sandwiches, bread
and butter and cake weekly, all sup
piled by private donations. Branch
buffets are maintained at the stations
of less military Importance, at an ad-
ditional expenses, and the whole ma
chinery runs like clockwork. 1t is
the same sort of transformation that

tions.
Victoria station is a great barn
like railway terminal in the center of
the metropolitan area. It's lines feed
many important southern and south
eastern ports, such as Porthmouth,
Southampton, Brighton, Folkstone
and Dover There the troop trains ar
rive at night with their loads of men
on furlough from the trenches, and
there the returning trains leave every
morning to carry back those whose
week of home and liberty has eX-
pired. Between times, there is a con-
stant stream of soldiers arriving from
or returning to the great training
camps at AldershOt and other points.

PUT STOMACH IN
FINE CONDITION
Says indigestion Results from an Ex-
cess Of HydrochIoric Acid

Undigested food delayed in the stOm-
ach, decays, or rather feTments the
same as food left in the open air, says
a noted authority. He also tells us
that indigestion is caused by hyper
acidity, meaning there is an excess of
hydrochloric acid in the stomach,
which prevents complete digestion and
starts food fermentation. Thus every
thing eaten, sours in the stomach
much like garbage sours in can, form
ing acrid fluids and gases which in
flate the stomach like a toy balloon.
Then we feel a heavy, lumpy misery
in the chest, we belch up gas, we eruc-
tate sour food or have heartburn, flat
ulence, water-brash or nausea.
He tells us to lay aside all digestive
aids and instead, get from any phar-
macy four ounces of Jad Salts, and
take a tablespoonful in glass of
water before breakfast and drink while
it is effervescing and furthermore, to
continue this for a week While re-
lief follows the first dose, it is import
ant to neutralize the acidity, remove
the gas-making mass, start the liver,
stimulate the kidneys and thus pro-
mote a free flow of pure digestive
juices.
Jad Salts is inexpensive and is
made from the ACID OF grapes and lem
on juice, combined with lithia and So
dunn phosphate. This harmless salts
is used by thousands of people for
stomach trouble with excellent results.

FOR RHEUMATISM

AS soon as an attack of rheumatism

ment on the affected parts is all you
need. The pain goes at once.
A grateful sufferer writes: 81 was

other paraphernalia of the same color
on his back have nothing in common
with the parade ground. Often the
tartan pattern of a kilt shows itself
under the bottom of an overcoat.
A quiet lot of men they are, alto
gether different from the singing

ly for the front. They are campaign
ers now. They went away boys, lots

years ago was that of an intelligent
people, and intelligence is keeping
pace with the commercial and indus

an increased membership in the legis-

based on more than increased intel

Catarrhal Deafness Cannot Be Cured

There is only one way to cure catarr-
