RID STOMACH OF
GASES,S0URNESS,
AND INDIGESTION
"PAPE'S DIAPEPSIN" ENDS ALL
STOMACH DISTRESS IN
FIVE MINUTES.

You don't want slow remedy when
your stomach is bad-or an uncertain
one-or harmful one-your stomach
is too valuable; you mustn't injure it
with drastic drugs.
Pape's Diapepsin is noted for its
speed in giving relief; its harmless
ness: its certain unfailing action in
regulating sick, sour, gassy stoma chs.
Its millions of cures in indigestion,
dyspepsia, gastritis and other stomach
trouble has made it famous the world
over.
Keep this perfect stomach doctor in
your home-keep it handy-get a large
fifty-cent case from any drug store and
then if anyone should eat something
which doesn't agree with them; If
what they eat lays like lead, ferments
and sours and forms gas; causes head
ache, dizziness and nausea; eructa-
tions of acid and undigested food
remember as soon as Pape's Diapepsin
comes in contact with the stomach all
such distress vanfShes. Its promptness,
certainty and ease in overcoming the
worst stomach disorders is revela-
ton to those who try it.

would be to sign the agreement and In
40 days they would be out of the
country. That certainly would be
brought about quicker than through
any continuation of the deliberations
of the joint commission.
But on the other hand Villa has
been showing increased strength. He
has raided two of the large Mexican
cities, even though he met with a re-
verse in his last encounter with Car
ranza's troops, but it is to be under
stood that as long as the United
States troops are stationed where
they are there is a certain amount Of
territory in which the operations of
the bandit leader are denied. If the
troops are recalled Carranza must as
sumo this added responsibility and in
asmuch as he has not been able to
either crush OF control Villa, it may
be at this late date that he recognizes
the help which is being furnished him
by the presence of the punitive ex-
petition. The only service which it is
rendering this country, however, is
the protection Of the border, since the
main object for crossing the border
has been abandoned, but if it is ne
more effective there than distributed
along the border. it might just as we'll
be withdrawn and it's attention direct
ed to the guarding of the line.

GERMAN INTEREST IN NEU-
TRAILS

While so many notes are being ex-
changed in regard to the peace move
made by the central powers, and the
effort of this country to get the bel
hserent nations to set forth what they
are fighting for as a possible means
of arriving at the solution of their
differences, it is impossible to over
look the stand which has been taken
by Spain regarding the submarine
warfare as conducted by Germany.
This country is rated as pro German
but there is little indication of it in
the protest which it has made regard
ing the Illegal and iuhuman methods
pursued by the U-boats. The protest
is in keeping with those which have
been made by this country but it
comes at a time when it is realized
that the promises which have been
made that neutral and humanity rights
would be respected are not being kept.
This lends new force to Spain's po-
sition and particularly so when it is
considered to be friendly to Germany.
Naturally it is difficult for any Of the
neutrals to take much stock in the in
terest which the central powers in
their note appear to be taking in those
non belhgerent nations which are suf-
fering from the ravages of the war
and for humanity in general.
If the central powers were DESTROYS
of impressins the neutra1s with their
determination to uphold neutral rights
and to relieve those nations as far as
possible from the deplorable effects Of
the war, they should first institute re-
forms in their submarine warfare
which would show more clearly than
promises that their plea was sincere
Words cannot make the neutrals for
get what Germany has been doing.

THE NEW HAVEN ROAD.

From the fact that strong opposi-
ton can always be depended upon
when there is any desire or thought
on the part of the railroads to in
crease their rates, it is the cause CT
no little surprise that the public scr
vice commission of Massachusetts, in
connection with the affairs of the New
Haven road indicates that an increase
in the passenger rates might be con-
sidered favorab1 That is usually
the last suggestion which comes from
such a commission. Everything else
is resorted to first and in fact the
New Haven has been told time and
again that it should curtai1 on It's ex-
psnditures and save where there has
been waste.
Yet when that is done the road fails
to get credit for it and is censured
for its passenger train service. Re
gardless of the strides which the road
has made to recover from it's predica-
ment, it is now advised to ordsr new
locomotives, but as the Springfield
Republican says there is apparently
no mention of the fact that during the
present year this railroad has put in
service so Pacifc-type passenger To-
coTnotfves of greater size than is used
by any other New England railroad,
that eight freight locomotives of the
heavy Mikado type have been received
and that the company is asking prices
on 40 locomotives Of the Santa Fe
type which is heavier still. It is quite
true that the New Haven is handicap
ped by inadequate power, and by other
eauses that make for congestion and
delay, but the company should re-
ceive credit for the progress it is
making"

Daring Exploit BY Canadians.

North of Arras certain Canadian
troops have just accomplished what
the British officers declare marks a
new phase in modern trench warfare,
says an Associated Press CORES pond
ent with the British armies in France.
In a raid. which, however, was much
more than Il raid, they succeeded in
putting out of action, temporarily at
least an entire battalion of German
infantry. They took 50 prisoners, in
GLIDING one commissioned officer, and
estimated that they killed 100 Ger
mans in dugouts which were blown to
surrender. The Canadian losses were
extremely light.
The raid took place at 8 o'clock
in the afternoon on front of 400
yards. The German prisoners admit
that they were taken completely by
surprise. The officer captured said he
was convinced that something was
about to happen, but believed that the
attack was coming on Christmas eve.
He reported to the higher command,
but received no support.
The Canadians, mostly stalwart men
from the plains of Manitoba, Sas-
katchewan and Alberta, had skilfully
established themselves well forward SO
the preparatory fire they were in the
German front-line trenches in less
than two minutes. The officer in COM
nand who was reporting the raid to
brigade headquarters by telephone SAID
that he had hardly uttered the words
They're off, before he had to say
They're in"
CONSERVATION reigned among the
Germans who scrambled for the saps
and dugouts leading to the rear
trenches while the Canadians pelted
them with hand grenades. Caught alb
soIutely unprepared, many Germans in
the front line offered no resistance, but
threw up their hands with cries of
'fKamerad"e Others were taken as
they fed for the second and third
lines, for the Canadians pushed on
quickly to the second trenches.
About 90 dugouts were destroyed by
the Canadians, several with bombs
captured from the Germans. One of
the officers engaged said: CAS- we en-
tered the trenches many Germans
broke for the dugouts. All who did
were subsequently we'll cared for.

LETTERS TO TIE EDITOR
s1ouId be closad up.

Mr.. Editor: It is nearly four years
since tbs Thames Loan & Trust COM
pany failed. and the receivers have
had ample time to turn into cash all
the assets OF this company. The last
six months printed statenent of the
receiver, showed that the amount of
money he collected during that time
was small, while the expense account
was large. For some time it has been
almost impossible to find the present
rscaiver at the company's Office, "un-
less by special appointment as he
devotss but short time each day
there, and, it certainly seems as if
the time had now arrived to wind up
this com pSny's affairs and divide the
money among the depositors. This
can be very easily done by selling at
auction what assets there still re-
mains belonging to this company and
turning same into cash. The receiv-
er's charges and the expense account
up to date, have been very large, and
the receiver should certainly remern-
Der that the depositors of this in
stitution have certain rights. If the
receiver will devote more time daily
to the affairs of this company, and
follow out the suggestion stated above,
this conpany's affairs can within a
very short time be closed up, and the
depositors receive their final dividend
checks.

The cIays of Arkansas.

Deposits of clay are so common
that the clay resources of a state sell
dom attract much attention. yet clay
may be put to an infinite variety of
valuable uses, and it's annual output
in the United States is worth more
than $50, 900. The state Of Ar
Kansas produces clay of several
kinds which are described in Bulletin
s51 of the United States Geological
Survey, Department of the Interior.
This bulletin not only states the To-
cations OF the clay deposits OF the
ST ate, but describes their composition,
character. origin, occurrence, and us
es. The clays are classified as resi-
dual clays, clays Of mechanical ORR
gin, CLAWS and kaolins Of chemical orr
gin, and bauxite. The production in
each county is considered separately,
and the uses to which the clay is put
are given. An interesting use has
been made locally of some of the pot
ters clay found in Dallas County. It
has been dissolved in buttermillS and
boiled and used as a whitewash. When
so used it gives a smooth coast of
slightly blush tint, which is said to
be about as durable as a coating made
with lime.

THE BOND ISSUE.

Regardless of the efforts which have
been made to stave 1t off, there is ne
other way out of the present deficit
in the national treasury, except
through an issue of bonds. We have
experienced the imposition of war"
taxes in times of peace. we have wit
messed the abandonment OF the former
tariff law and Sc per cent. of our i'm
ports are coming in duty free we have
seen the abandonment of the plan to
put sugar on the free list because the
SOC, 100000 which would have been
cast aside by 50 doing was necessary
to help out the government finances
In addition to these acts there have
been changes in the federal taxation
laws for the purpose of increasing the
revenue but there has been little or no
effort to eliminate the waste through
the pork barrel"
It is true that some consideration
has been given to the necessity Of
providing for the nations defense. 1t
has resulted in substantial appropria-
tions and the bond issue which is to
be authorized will be charged up to
that reason, regardless of the fact
that the administration long age
abandoned a tariff policy which wouls
have prevented the country from get
ting into its present predicament.
The bond issue will be for some
thing less than 100000. 900, but in ad-
dition thereto, the secretary of the
treasury declares that as much if net
more will have to be raised by taxa
ton, but in view Of the fact that this
new plan Of raising expense money
by a bond issue will be charged tc
the Improvement of the army and
navy, it will be interesting to see what
effect it will have upon such efforts
as are made for adequate defense in
the future.
