'MARBURG SHOWS
FORCE Is SAFEST
PEACE INSURANCE
Compulsory Inquiry Into Diff
ferences Between Nations Not
Compulsory Arbitration

Force is absolutely needed to insure
the future peace of the world.
Not compulsory arbitration, but
compulsory inquiry into international
differences is the aim of the League
TO Enforce Peace.
These were the two outstanding
points in the address of Theodore
Marburg- minister from the United
states to Belgium under President
Taft and member of the executive
committee of the League to Enforce
Peace, before the Harrisburg Cham
bef of Commerce at a noon luncheon
of its members to-day.
That efficient preparation for ade-
quate national defense is essential for
the purposes of the League, was an
other argument presented by the eX-
minister as he took exceptions to criti-
cisms of the plans proposed by the
league
The speaker was introduced by De-
putty Attorney General William NJ
largest, who expressed, apropos oi
the atmosphere of the meeting, the
concentrated sympathy which the
American people have felt for Bel
GUM and of the hope for a peace thai
will be lasting for all people.
EX-Minister Marburg, who is n citi-
zen of Baltimore, Md, made some
complimentary remarks about the in.
dustrial and civic forwardness of Iar.

The Call to the South

President Wilson has appealed to the
American farmer to swell his produc-
ton Of food crops as a wartime duty,
and makes plain that by INCREASING
THE PRODUCTION EVERY WAY
POSSIBLE he will render a patriotic
service to the nation in this time of
need.
The South has been buying hundreds
of millions of dollars worth Of food for
man and beast from the West. This
western supply must. and will now 60
to the armies and will not be available
to US.
The seriousness of this problem that
c%onfronts this section at this time
should be apparent to any man, and
cannot be ov~erstated. In the matter
of food supply we are helpless unless
there is a heavy incfease of food crops
at once.
To meet this emergency and supply
our own needs, we must take our soil
as we find it, give it the best possible
preparation and-if we would get the
maximum ~yields-apply a liberal guam
tity of high grade fertilizer containing
the elements of plant food most essen
tial for the crop to be grown.
CORN, the great staple food crop of
the South, requires large quantities of
nitrogen to develop a vigorous stalk
and phosphoric acid for heavy fruiting.
Our advertisement on page 2 carries
suggestions, which, if adopted, we be
lieve will increase the yield of corn on
any character of soil so to 100 per cent
Peas, Peanuts, Beans. ETC., will not
require SO much nitrogen and for these
for these crops a 1920 fertilizer is
recommended.
Do not be afraid of over production.
The demand for food throughout the
world will insure a ready market at
good prices for any surplus in excess
of our own needs.
This is being sent to 10, 900 farmers
with the hope that many will be en-
couraged to plan Immediately for maxi
mum production, which can be had only
by good preparation, cultivation and a
liberal application of high grade ferti-
lizer. Make your arrangements now
for supply of COTTON BELT Corn
Grower Fertilizer.
Yours truly,
TUPELO FERTILIZER FACTORY

The Folly of Taking
Digestive Pills
A Warming to DysPePtIcs-

The habit of taking digestive pills after
meals makes chronic dyspeptics OF many
thousands of men and women because
drugs and medicines consisting CT artI-
hcial digestents have practically no in
huence upon the excessively acid con-
dit on of che stomach contents which is
the cause Of most forms Of indigestion
and dyspepsia
1t is not enough to merely lessen the
sensitiveness OF the stomach nerves and
thus give a false sense Of freeoom from
pain. II those who are subject TO indi-
gestion, gas, hatulence, belching, bloating,
heartburn, etc. after eating would get
about an ounce Of pure bisurated mag
nesia from their druggist and take a
teaspoonful in a little water after meals.
there would be in most Instances. no fur
ther necessity for drugs, medicines. pep
sin pills or artificial dizestents because
bisurated mRgnesia instantly neutralizes
stomach acidity, sVeetens the sour stom-
ach. stops food fern entatton and thus
establishes normal, painless digestion BY
enabling the stomach to do Its work
without hindrance.
As there are various forms Of FnGguesia
be sure to ask the druggist for Bisunated
Magnesia which is the form especially
prepared for the correction OF stomach
acidity.-Adv.
