Works Declares Partisan
Politics Should Not Invade
the Supreme Court
AGAINST THE
ARMY BILL
Says Chamberlain Allotment
Not Enough to Defend
One California City

Washington, D. c., April Is. The uso
of Justice Hughes name as candidate
for the Republican presidential nomina-
tion is offensive not only to him but 10
the country as WE'LL Senator Works, Re-
publican of California declared on the
Senate floor Yesterday. 1t should be re-
scented both by justice and the people,
he said.
Partisan politics is ruthless in its de-
mands and invades the most sacred pre-
cinets of the national government said
| Works. 1T is seeking place and power

trance. just now it is attempting TO In
wade the supreme court of the United
States. 1t is presenting to member OF
that body the greatest temptation that
could be offered to an American citizen
to surrender his place ON the bench and
become candidate for political Office.
This attempt to bring the highest
judicial tribunal OF the country or any
member of it into politics should be re
scented, not only by the member to whom
the tempting offer is made, but by the
whole country.
"To my mind it is of the gravest i'm
portanee that the great tribunal should
be separated absolutely and forever from
politics, candidacy for office or any in
terest in elections beyond that of the dis
interested private citizen"
Senator Works reference TO the /

a speech on preparedness in which he
attacked the Chamberlain army bill on
the ground that it was neither neces
sary nor adequate.

fit would it be for my own state? The
portion that, upon an equal division OF

lation would be allotted to California

Heating the House.

Heating a house in winter takes tim,
and labor, as well as coal, and how t.
get good results with the least expendi
lures of all three is something of a prob
lem. The United States bureau OF mine
offers these suggestions:
| Attend to the fire regularly, and Dc
not wait until 1t has burned low alrC
heat is needed throughout the house.
Let the size of the coal fired be a:
nearly uniform as possible. Using a
coal Of uneven size prevents an even
flow of air through the fuel bed and in.
creases the tendency of the fire to burn
through in spots, Try to keep the fuel
bed free from air spots.
Avoid excessive shaking of the CRATES
and thus reduce the amount of coal lost
by falling into the ash pit Ordinarily
the shaking of the CRATES should be
stopped as soon as bright particles begin
to drop through.
In mild weather it is well to leave on
the CRATES layer of ashes under the ae-
tive fuel bed. This layer viii increase
the resistance to the flow Of air through
the fuel bed and will facilitate the main
tenance of the low rate of combustion
required in such weather 1t will also
cut off some OF the CRATE surface.
Clinkers should be worked out OF the
fuel bed for they obstruct the flow Of
air, clog the CRATES and may break the
parts of the shaking CRATES.
Keep heating surfaces and hues swept
clean so they will readily absorb heat.
Do not let ashes pile up under the CRATES
in the ash pit, for they will seal off the
air from part of the CRATE surface and
may cause the CRATE bars to become
burned and warped.
Insufficient draft is often responsible
for failures of heating systems to meet
The chimney or smoke
pipe may be too small, or may be OBJ
structed, or may have leaky joints. The
of providing an inlet for the
air that must enter the furnace room is
frequently overlooked Roughly $50 to
300 cubic feet Of air are required for
zach pound of coal burned, and to pre-
vent trouble from insufficient draft, some
means for admitting this air into the !
furnace room must be provided. Usually |

Hollanders View With
Alarm Japs' Expansion
Near Dutch Colonies

Amsterdam, Netherlands, Jan. 26.-
japanese commercial expansion in the
Dutch East Indian archipelago is a
subject of which many. colonial IIo1-
a1nders hold strong views. They fear
a pacific penetration by Japan of the
rich emerald girdle,'' the great island
group situated just to the south of the
Philippines. Imports from Japan
into the Dutch East Indian colonies in
the last five years have more than
doubled, and now amount to close
upon 100000 annually.
The japanese have already secur-
ed such a hold on many branches of
manufactured goods on the Java mar
ket that a spontaneous boycotting
movement arose some time ago
against them. Much was expected
from this at the time, but colonial
papers which have just arrived in
Holland say that it will be almost i'm
possible to drive fJapan-made goods
from the Java market owing to their
cheapness, the result of Iow-priced
native labor in Japan. These cheap
prices have created a steady, regular
demand in the Dutch East Indies for
Japanese goods.
The war in Europe has benefited
Japanese trade considerably. jap
anese matches, for instance, are i'm
ported in large quantities now that the
price of European matches has risen
and delivery is uncertain. Fears arc
expressed that the Japanese exporters
will find other ways to enforce free
dom OF intercourse with the best
customers, the native population of
Java, while the poorer classes Of
whites also perforce patronize Jap
anese traders as they cannot afford
to pay higher prices for European
goods, even though the latter may be
OF better quality, Some trades in
the Dutch East indies are feeling
the effects of the war pretty seriously
and japanese exporters have not been
slow in Selling the favorable oppor-
tunities that have presented them
selves.
The japanese trade. used to be, and
still is, largely in the hands of Chi
nese Iniddlement but of late many
purely japanese stores have sprung
up in Java and elsewhere. Accord
ing to the latest advfces, many big Eu-
ropean importing houses are endeav-
oring, owing to the unsettled condi-
tons in Europe, to make their posi-
tions secure by opening up direct
trade connections with japanese ex-
porting firms. 4E s.

ECONOMIC EXPLOITATION OF
TURKEY ENGAGING, ATTENTION

Germans Wear Shirts
Over Coats So They May
Distinguish Friends

Berlin, Jan. 26.-Russian general
staff reports have frequently mention
ed night attacks in which the so1A
dters wore their shirts over their uni
form coats. A majority of the read
ers have puzzled in vain for an answer
to why this should be done, and have
assumed that it was to help make the
aftacker invisible against the snow.
Capt Berth old Walter, of the Ger
man army, now comes forward with
the explanation. The shirts are worn
not to conceal the wearers, but rather
so that the attackers may be able to
distinguish each other in the dark
ness and the conflict of battle. The
custom also is not new but historical
ly old.
1t was begun centuries ago by the
French, and was called 'camisade'
from theLatin ''canisia'' or shirt. The
term gradually became more general
and was used to designate any kind of
a night fight, whether the soldiers
wore their shirts inside or outside of
their coats.
The first recorded "camisade'' took
place at the capture of ,Pointoise in
1419. The last one of Importance
was the storrning of Liege by the
troops of the late General Won EN-
mich.

TROUBLES
DUE TO ACIDITY

Se-ea1led stomach troubles, such as
indigestion, wind, stomach ache and
inability to retain food, are in prob
ably nine cases out of ten simply evil
dence that fermentation. the result of
excess. acid, is taking place in the
food contents of the stomach causing
the formation of gas. Wind distends
the stomach and causes that full, OPP
pressiVe feeling sometimes known as
heartburn, while the acid irritates and
inhames the delicate lining of the
STOMACH. The trouble lies entirely in
the excessive secretion of acid and the
fermentation of foed. Such fernen-
tation is unnatural and may involve
harmful consequences if not corrected.
To stop or prevent fermentation of
food contents of the stomach and to
nautFali7te the acid, and render it
bland and harmless, a teaspoonfuI Of
Bisprated Nagnesia, perhaps the best
and most effective corrector of acid
stomach known, should be taken in
quarter OF a glass of hot or cold wa
ter irnTned iate1y after eating, or when
ever wind or acidity is felt. This stops
The fermentation, and neutraIzes the
acidity in a few moments. FFermen-
tation, wind and acidity are unneees-
sary. Stop or prevent them by the
use of a proper antacid, such as Bis
ed from any druggist. and thus en-
able the stomach to do its work prop
er1y without being hindered by gas
and excessive acid. Hind1e's Drug
