The Washington herald., 1916-08-10

The following letter is self-explanatory:
Sporting Editor of The Herald: Have
you stopped to notice that the American
league standing of the teams on this date
indicates that all teams except Washing
ton and the Athletics, when taken as a
whole. have played fifty-fifty ball.
All teams with a standing above 800
have obtained the excess above that
mark at the expense of the Athletics and

This may be accidental, but the umpir

pretty fair way of distributing COM

Foreign Investment CurtaiIed
by Mexican Constitution.

New York, July 24.--Radical
changes in the laws governing for
eigners doing business in Mexico are
about to be made by General Carranza
in a series of DEGREES which later will
be included in a new constitution, ac-
cording to recent arrivals from Mexico
City.
The new regulations, it is said, will
provide that all foreign investors be-
fore entering business in Mexico must
agree not to have recouse in any case
to any other law than that of Mexico
and that they will not be entitled to
any privileges not enjoyed by Mexi-
cans. 1t will also provide that foreign
capital already INFESTED in Mexico
may enjoy the right to be considered
foreign and be entitled to the protec
ton Of it's own government until the
expiration of the concession or. agree
ment that 1t may have entered into
provided it is not for a very long
period.
Another provision is designed to fix
a uniform period for all the long or
unlimited contracts in which foreign
capital is Interested and that at the
end of this period they will be consid-
cred subject only to the authority of
the Mexican government.
These measures, it is understood
are to be Incorporated in the Mexi-
can constitution in the near future and
and his advisers that they will suf-
flee to avoid the danger of complica-
tions with European powers and will
lift from the United States the respon-
sibility of defending the territorial in
tegrity of Mexico against the possibil-
ity of seizure of lands or properties
by any foreign nation IN order to pay
the claims of their nationals

Hot Water for
 Sick Headaches Tells why everyone should drink hot water with phosphate
 in it before breakfast.

Headache of any kind, is caused by
 auto-intoXication-w means self
 poisoning. Liver and bowel poisons called toxins, sucked into the blood
 through the lymph ducts, excite the heart which pumps the blood so fast that it congests in the smaller arteries and veins of the head producing vio-
 lent, throbbing pain and distress, called headache. You become nervous, de- spondent, sick. feversh and misera ble, your meals sour and almost nauseate you. Then you resort to acetanilide aspirin or the bromides which temper arily relieve but do not rid the blood of these irritating toxins.
 A glass of hot water with a teaspoon ful of limestone phosphate in it, drank before breakfast for awhile, will not only wash these poisons from your sys tenn and cure you of headache but will cleanse, purify and freshen the entire alimentary canal
 Ask your pharmacist for quarter Epound of limestone phosphate It is in expensive, harmless as sugar, and al most tasteless, except for sourisl twinge which is not unpleasant. If you aren't feeling your best. il tongue is coated or you wake up witt bad taste. foul breath or have colds indigestion, biliousness, constipation or sour acid stomach, begin the phos phated hot water cure to rid youi system of toxins and poisons.
 Results are quick and it is claimed that those who continue to flush out the stomach, liver and bowels every morning never have any headache ol

that someone else must do the work Each one is busy trying to solve his own problems of money making, and throws on others the responsibility of doing what he is personally as much responsible for as others
 Are you, the great capitalistic leaders of the country and the makers of it's iron and it's steel, prepared to give serious consideration to an intelligent co-ordinated movement for creating tangible wealth and national insurance out of the limtless resources of the south and southwest? Or is it your intention to leave this field unutilized and thus compel the people at large, through the national government to become your great competitor by build ing vast iron and steel and munition making industries in the section which you have so long to so large an extent ignored?
 Economic forces beyond the control of men will compel the development of these resources in the south and southwest. It is for the great leaders of the country to say whether they shall be developed by the individual business interests of the country or by the nation for the benefit of the people of the whole country.
 The Manufacturers Record most heartily believes that this work should not be left to the national govern ment. It would, we believe, be great misfortune for the government to have to take up such a situation. but 1t feels absolutely certain that unless leading capitalists in cooperation with the iron and steel men of the country do this work, and do 1t promptly, sooner or later the government will enter upon the campaign.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1916-01-16

The last issue of the Baltimore Manufacturers Record has a eature editorial under the caption of An Open Letter to the Financiers and tha Iron and Steel Men of America" It is a follow up Of the stirring series of articles the Record has had recently on National Preparedness" Here are excerpts, containing the main points of Editor Edmonds' ringing conten- ton:
 You represent billions and billions of uninsured wealth.
 How long are you willing to risk the responsibility of acting as trus- tee for your clients and the public without insuring the properties which you are managing or directing for them? Moreover. your individual wealth is without insurange against dangers which might at any moment rob you of your hoarded treasures.
 You believe in insurance: many of you are directors of insurance com panies; most of you carry heavy in surance on your lives, but you are per- hitting the most important thing in your individual affairs, in your posi- tion as trustee, and in your interest in the nations life, to go unprotected by insurance.
 You permit the iron and steel and munition making industries of Amer ica, with their many billions of capi- tai invested and their vital importance to the nations life, and thus to every interest you represent, to go wholly eli tn strike a fatal blow at our country and at all our bOasted prosperity. Are you justified in taking this risk :? All this iron and steel and intuition making business, ali the railroads of the country, all the automobile and motor truck interests, and the nations life are staked upon the Lake Superior ores, Which are immediately contiguous to Canada, and the movement of which could at any moment be cut off by a few sticks of dynamite placed by a crank or spy
 Do you feel altogether safe in living under such conditions?
 Do you feel that you do not owe some security or insurance to your clients or stockholders or your country?2 You believe in national prepared : ness"-or, better, let us call it ina tional insuredness"-and you are anX- louS to sec the government spend hun 1 dreds of millions of dollars to secure it. though you know that you and your associates will bear most of the bur den in building battleships and cruisers. in strengthening Qualifications and in enlarging our army.
 In all this you are wise and pa triotic; but what are you doing to shape affairs industrially so as to make national preparedness" anything more than a visionary dream?
 Are you justified in expecting that the government will undertake a broad campaign for national preparedness, which means a larger navy and a | larger army and stronger fortifica- l tions, all of which would be value l less if the iron and steel which are essential are not obtainable under the | most adverse war conditions? | It would be unspeakable folly fol
