FOR A new STOMACH

1t is said that one of Americas best known
multi-milionaires-a man who ruined his di-
gestion in the pursuit of wealth-stated that
he would pay million dollars for a new
stomach.
But, while surgeons have become very
skillful in performing operations that were
once considered impossible, nobody has
stepped forward and offered to sell his stom-
ach to that millionaire. Your stomach is
worth more than a million dollars to you. 1t
is LIFE to you.
This milionaire's stomach is so ruined by
abuse that it can never be made cas- good as
new" by any medicine. But YOUR stomach,
Il properly aided NOW can be restored to its
normal condition.
If YOU suffer from indigestion, 'heart-
burn" gas in stomach, foul breath, sense of
fullness after eating, sour stomach, and will
act NOW instead of delaying longer, yoI
can get PROMPT relief.

Shelled to the kernel, the only
real complaint against Wilson is
that he has not plunged the
country into the European war.
But, in adapting this to political
uses, the Republicans are care
full to avoid any intimation as to
what lside we should now be
fighting upon. Of course, the
idea is to get votes from the
sympathizers with both sides in

Care of Your ChiIdren'S Feet.

In the July American Magazine
DR.. Arthur R. Reynolds, former
health commissioner of Chicago,
tells of the many troubles that
can make life miserable and that
come from feet that were neg
lected in childhood. Among 9TH
er things he says:
Children should go barefoot
ed at all times while indoors and
through the summer. They
should never wear any foot COW
ering at any time that, in any
way distorts the toes or any part
of the foot, or that interferes in
any way with it's normal growth
and development. The same
may be said of adults.
ANY reform in the shape of
shoes must begin with the shoe
makers last. Shoemakers do
not seem to be able to get away
from form and beauty in shap-
ing it. 1t is shaped largely by
guess. and is pointed and turned
up at the toe. No normal foot
is so shaped. The only rational
last is made from a plaster Cast
of the foot while bearing weight,
and the mold can be made only
of some semi-soIid material that
hardens when cool or dry. There
is little hope of getting a ration
ally shaped shoe until the wood
en- last is totally discarded. 1t
is safe to assert that cookbook
ing and non-deforming shoes
can be made without it."

Partners or Ornaments?

mans Home Companion says:
Many men seem to take a
certain pride in the fact that
their wives have all the fresh
ness and lack of experience of a
little girl They think, because
they have shut their wives off
from any contact with real life.
that they are better, more indul-
gent husbands than those who
go to their wives at night with
their troubles, and who never
make an important business
move without first planning it
out at home. They are wrong.
In the first place, they deprive
themselves of a valuable asset in
business-the clear, penetrating
power of a woman's intuition.
In the second place, it is no
compliment to a woman to keep
her forever a little girl. Life is
not made rich by evading re-
sponsibilities; the man who shuts
his wife off from his business be-
cause he wants to save her
worry, and from hild-bearing
because he cannot think of her
enduring pain, generally sue
ceeds in giving her a sense of
utter uselessness that makes her
miserable. And, in the event of
his death, he leaves her prob
lens with which she is utterly
unprepared to cope.
Many of the moral break
downs occur, not in youth, but
in the middlelife period, when
habits are supposed to have
been formed and character fixed.
Youth is usually free from
covetousness and greed. Middle
age is less likely to be. Almost
every week the newspapers re-
port the financial difficulties, if
not the downright dishonesty, of
some respected man in middle
life. who has sacrificed every
thing in trying to get too much.
"And we have noted that such
catastrophes take place less often
in the families where the wife is
fully acquainted with her hus-
bands affairs.

STARTLING FACTS ABOUT THE NATIONAL GUARD

Though inclining toward universal military training,
Secretary Baker tells the house committee on military af-
fairs that ne believes the national guard system should
be given a "fair trial"
What would Mr.. Baker consider a fair trial? The
fault is not with the fine fellows who volunteer. 1t is with
the system, and the system has been on perpetual and dis
appointing trial now for 125 years. What proofs more
convincing can the secretary and the president want than
the report on mobilization submitted Tuesday by Major
General Hugh L. Scott, chief of staff?
Of the 128y000 enlisted men of the militia inspected on
the border 63 per cent were either transferred from mill
tia organizations not called out or were recruits.
OF those who were on the rolls at the time of the call
1857 were lost for various causes during the period of
transition into the federal service, making the national
guard as it went to the border substantially a volunteer
force. Of the number lost 1858 failed to respond to the
call and q, 72l were rejected for physical disabilities.
Of the militia force sent to the border 60 per cent had
had less than three months military training of any kind,
and 10000 had had none at all.
The official report shows that 56,813 men in the forces
sent to the border never had fired a military rifle!
An active campaign for militia recruits, carried on all
over the United States in the four months from July l to
October 81, produced about $1,000, a number insufficient
to fill vacancies caused by discharges and casualties occur
ring during the same period.
The national guard is deficient in training and deficient
in numbers. The service is unpopular, and all the strenu-
Gus efforts of the individual states and the federal govern
ment can not recruit it to increased strength. 1t is slip
ping
The system has had a fair trial, and further experiment
ing in the face of facts and history would be folly

THE WEAKNESS OF OUR SECOND LINE.

The collapse of our second line of defense in the failure
of our army plan is painfully disclosed in the report of
Major-General Hugh Scott, chief of staff of the army,
various observers note as they contrast it with the annual
report of Secretary of War Newton d. Baker. The New
York Times calls the latter document "a bare narrative
of superficial facts" yet recalls that Mr.. Baker did not
take office until March 9 Of this year, and has had scarce
ly time to master all the details of the business of his de-
partment, especially as the duties of his time of service
have been unusually trying. His account of the Mexican
troubles adds nothing to the public knowledge, according
to this journal, which adds that the secretary writes of
the militia situation "as if no controversy on the Hay fed
eralization plan had been precipitated." But here the
chief of staff does not mince words" and The Times sum-
marizes his belief that the volunteer system has again
failed, that recruiting for both the national army and the
national guard has produced negligible results, and that
universal training is essential to the defense OF the nation"
On the other hand, the ST. Louis Globe Democrat says that
while General Scott makes a positive declaration of the
failure of our army plan, any unbiased reader would
have the same impression about it after reading the report
of Secretary Baker. The call to Texas was the acid test
of the federaGzed national guard, we hear from sundry
quarters, and quoted in %unsparing proof of its inability to
meet that test are figures from the report of General
Scott, which the New York Tribune sets down as follows:
VI $500 %guardsmen enrolled in eleven states at the
time the militia was summoned for border service, more
than 10 per cent failed to respond.
"Twenty-three per cent were raw recruits.
Brought up to war-strength, the force would have been
rs per cent green for many months.
vi l5l,O9G officers and men mustered into the service
under the call, only ll0957 were on the border a month
and a half after the call was issued.
1.-THE modified force was 81, 900 below war-strength and
more than 1000 below minimum peace-strength."
General Scott states that the training period of seventy
nve days IN three years, provided by the national defense
act, is wholly inadequate, and adds: "In my judgment it
precludes this force from being made fit for war-service
until 1t has received at least six months additional train
ing in time of war" Then his report repeats the opinion
that 1t takes a year of intensive training to make a soldier.
and unless the federalized guard, which congress substi-
tuted for the citizen volunteer army advocated by the gen.
eral staff, can be given greater training, General Scott be-
.eves the country faces a serious situation.-Literary Di-

obtained from the United States
