Display Old Glory on
Independence Day!

it a freak of the patriotic imagina-
ton, or are those banners of red,
white and blue that float above
our streets on July 4 really one of the
finest sights that our cities and towns
enjoyed this long while?
Is there an eye too duh to fash when
the colors of Old Glory light its field?
Is there any optic organ so exquisitely
trained In artistic determinations that
1t can find a fault In that harmonious
design and plain of brightness?
1t is the emblem dearest to us all,
and the sentiment it stirs need not be
concealed.
Wal with Germany has evoked much
latent patriotism which has found ex-
preston in the display of the flag. 1t
cheers the patriotic beholder, as he
wends his way through the streets, to
see the flag futtering proudly from
the windows of the town dwellers or
draped across the fronts of homes.
His heart dilates with JOY and pride
In the beautiful emblem Of our unity
and freedom. The thirteen stripes re-
call the men who fought to make this
nation a reality. The forty-eight stars
bring wildly to mind the men who
are fighting today to prove Americas
right to stand in the vanguard of the
worlds demoeracies. Its colors SYM
bolize the blue of hope, the white Of
purity and of faith, the red of blood
that is spilled In defense of the flag.
"Old Glory" we call our flag. 1t is
"old' glory ~ndeed-and new glory and
everlasting gloryl

Washington. - Especial Correspond.
ence.]-When the announcement that
the second American expeditionary
force had landed safely In France the
nations capital was overjoyed. The
authorities knew that thousands OF
American troops were ON the Atlantic
and in danger of being sent to the bot
tom by a mine or submarine. When
the vessels, with their conveys, reached
the war zone these same authorities
were filed with breathless excitement.
Finally came the glad tidings that the
transports had landed and that the
French populace had given them an un-
precedented reception. Then the joy
in official Washington knew no bounds.
There is no one in the United States
army that has more sincere confidence
of the authorities than has General
Pershing. With him in command of
the American troops it is the firm be
lief that the glory of the Stars and
Stripes, never yet trampled upon, will
be upheld.
Pershing's Aid a Veteran.
Major General William L. Sibert.
who is in charge of the first troops
landed in France, is an old campaigner
who has seen Cuban. Philippine and
Chinese service as a member of the en-
gineers. Fifty-fiye years old, he retains
a punch. He is a regular fighting man
and able leader.
Another man, Admiral Gleaves, quiet,
navy commander, deserves a
need of praise for his able handling Of
the conveys for the transports.
Just what these ships were is with
held. Just how they modified and how
they journeyed unscathed is known.
but shielded.
What units compose the first Ameri-
can expedition, too, is a military Sc
cret for the moment, though probably
details will be announced in the forth
coming statement of the war depart
ment.
When the glad tidings of the safe ar
rival Of the force was received here a
bitter fight was going IN in the senate
over the food control bill. The meas
ure, which had already beer passed by
the house of representatives, contained
an amendment which would prohibit
the use of food products in the manu-
facture of beer or whisky. Over the
prohibition clause the fight In the SEN
ate waxed warm, as many held that If
the manufacture of beer and light
wines was stopped it would make a
whisky drinking nation of the United
States, as there are already hundreds
of millions of gallons of whisky stored
in various parts of the country.
After discarding the amendment pre-
pared by its subcommittee the senate
agricultural committee changed the
prohibition feature of the food control
bill SOFAS to give the president only the
power to permit the manufacture of
wines out Of foodstuffs. He would
also have the power to commander
spirits In stock.

Opposition to the daylight saving pro-
ject can only proceed from lack of under
standing OF the subject.
Persons who ave been used to near the
whistle blow at IL o'clock noon scent
calamity should the same occur at II
o'clock; they cannot get it into their heads
that under the plan the whistle would
still blow at IL o'clock, and that in reality
the question Of whether or not it is noon
by the sun has nothing to do with the
matter. No n is actually conscious that
at a certain time of day the sun has at
tained the top Of his arch across the sky.
In point Of fact, there are only a few
places in the country where noon and IL
o'clock coincide. Under the plan. IL
o'clock would still be the time for the mid
day knocking off" and the evening sus-
pension OF work would also occur at the
same clock time as before; the only diff
ference would be that the sun, at each Of
these times, would on his daily path, be
one hour behind his present schedule
an astronomical matter which no one
would care anything about. What people
would be interested in would be to observe
that they would now have an additional
hour of daylight after stopping work for
the day, in which to do the things which
they can only do by the light of the sun.
n principal active opposition comes
from the railroads, who fear confusion
over time tables. This, however, is not
justified by experience, as it has been
found an easy matter to accustom people
to remember that railroad time is an hour
slower than local time. and to govern their
movements accordingly.

German Politics.

devoted to YOU" replied the equerry.
IT believe they are" continued King
Edward. but the reason they will mol

King Edward spoke jestingly, but there
was wisdom in the monarch's words, az
there often was when he spoke even in
jest.
The English people are profoundly con.
scious Of the fact hat their monarchy ID
not kept in existence by hidden forces
over which they have no control. They
believe that If they desired to get rid Of
the monarchy tomorrow they could dc SO
with as little trouble as they can get rid
of q prime minister who has become gen.
orally unpopular. In such a case the prime

King George If there was a strong feel

But nobody in England desires that the
king should abdicate. No one in England
seriously c~ontemplates such a thing hap
pening. and. no one would desire It any
more than they would desire to see West
minister Abbey destroyed. To the mass Of
English people at home the monarchy is
a thing that they are subconsciously proud
of and greatly attached to-. Any attempt
to get rid Of It would arouse in the hearts
Of the English people feelings just as hos
tile as would be aroused in them by a pro-
posal to pull down Westminster Abbey.

HEARTBURN.

In heartburn there is, or appears to
be, an excess of acid in the stomach.
When one belches acid, bitter stomach
contents are likely to come into the
mouth. In bad cases h acid stomch
contents regurgitate into the mouth In
considerable quantities. This phenom-
enon differs from vomiting only in that
the abdominal muscles do not contract
and the nausea is not present.
When one turns to medical books and
looks for heartburn they find gastralgia.
meaning pain in the stomach, or car
dialgia, meaning pain in the entrance
Of the stomach. To my mind the name
-heartburn-is as good a term as eth
er Of the others. Certainly, a burning
sensation is much more frequent than
pain. / am sur hat three-fourths of
those who have heartburn will say that
they have burning but no pain.
The medical books will tell o very
little about heartburn. for it is only a
symptom n not a disease. In most
cases the stomach muscle is flabby n
the ring which closes off the entrance is
loosely closed or open. In fact, this
looseness of the ring-this tendency Of
the stomach contents to regurgitate into
the o~esophagus or come up into the
mouths the outstanding symptom.
Some persons who are subject to
heartburn suffer only if they stoop over
In such a way as to press on the abdo-
~ SOOIi dltCT ll0y nave CdIcI.
The people who have heartburn are
more interested in knowing what to do
about 1T than they are in knowing what
IS the cause of 1t or what is the condi-
ton of the stomach or what the medical
books have to say about 1T.
In the first place. what can be done
for immediate relief? In most cases all
that need be done is to chew gun A
glass of plain. water slipped rather slow
ly VIII relieve most cases. A glass of
carbonized water of n sort, but pref
erably with very little strip. but some
aromatic, will give relief. A glass Of
water containing a little,
ginger is excellent. This is the field for
SODA water Ordinary baking soda dis
solved In Water). So %eficacious is soda
water that many persons subject to
heartburn contract the soda habit. The
soda relieves the symptoms, but it slim
ulates the formation of acid. which i'm
turn calls for more soda, which in turn
stimulates more acid formation. and so
on ad infinitum.
The simple %precaution of not bending
over or not leaning against a counter
or over a desk for al hour after meals
cures some cases. Consultation ia a
large factor in heartburn. In conse-
quence, rhubarb. ginger. soda and mag
hesla are In great o as cures
among persons subject to heartburn.
More important, however, than relief
IS prevention. If there Is no organic
trouble behind heartburn the symptoms
can be eliminated by some simple

Prospects Of the Daylight Bill.
From the Bache Review.

The author of the daylight saving bill
In the Senate, Senator Calder, Is quoted
by the New York American as express
ing the opinion that the measure Is bound
to become a law during the present ses-
sion of congress, and believes tina a
strong sentiment both in and out Of con-
gress Is behind the bill, notwithstanding
the opposition which has developed in the
House. He says: THE plan of saving
daylight by waking the country up one
hour before it's usual Jour of rising, Is
one Of the greatest conservation meas
ures that has been proposed in connection
with the war" Senator Newlands, chair
man Of the Senate committee which has
recommended the bill for passage, says
this Is a war measure of prime Importance
and that 1t will be placed before the Sem
ate at the earliest opportunity
The beautiful summer weather which
has just begun, even though a month or
more in time has been lost for this plan,
10 an argument in its favor. and the plan
could be put into operation Immediately.
To introduce the plan, all that would
happen Is this: On a certain night when
going to bed, people would put their clocks
an hour ahead. The neXt morning the
would get up at the same time by the
clock, go to breakfast, business. luncheon,
dinner, all at the usual time; and the
only observable difference would be that
they would have spent a shorter time in
bed, In the morning, by an hour. and they
would ave an extra hour of daylight to
spend usefully. Incidentally they would
turn on the artificial light an hour later
in the evening, and save so much on their
bills for gas or current.
People who might object to being robbed
Of an hour in bed on the night the plan
was started, could draw comfort from
the reflection hat on the night the plan
was reversed in the late summer. they
would have an extra hour for sleep.

Nations of Europe Should Observe the Law of
 Good Will
By Dr. JAMES A. MACDONALD.
 Editor of the Toronto Globe

YUST as truly as it is impossible ej to break the law of gravita-
 ton, it is IMPOSSIBLE TO ESCAPE THE LAW OF GOOD WILL.
 As soon as an individual or na- ton tries to break the law of good will that individual 'or nation sui fers just in the came way man suffers the results of ignoring the law of gravitation when he steps of the window ledge of building.
 The United States anL Canada have observed the law of good will in their mutual relations for more than one hundred years.
 The example of the American conditions in this respect is well worth the consideration of ,the na tions of Europe
 THERE IS NO REASON WHY THEY SHOULD NOT OBSERVE THE LAW JUST AS HAS BEEN DONE IN AMERICA.
