When you have a severe headache,
accompanied by a coated tongue,
loathing of food, constipation, torpid
liver, vomiting Of partly digested food
and then bile, you may know that you
have a severe bilious attack. While
you may be quite sick there is much
consolation in knowing that relief
may be had by taking three Of Cham

and effectual. Obtainable everywhere

roads would revolutionize the country.
This is not the dream of a theorist.
for any normal man can figue out the re-
suit of a cheap fuel. especially as 1t re-
lates to the farmer The millions of dol
lars that would be thrown into circula-
and commercial vehicles would stagger
the manufacturers.
THE boom in real estate would hardly
escape notice. Just consider the number
of men of your own acquaintance who are
holding back on buying car because of
the high cost OF gas. 1t Is the biggest
dra wback business has ever had to put
up with. Here is a vast market for ma

cost of food mounting skyward every day.

In twenty years, it is possible that

The number of people who COM

class is declining rapidly" he said.
''Of course I do not mean that such
employees as the street cars. the Dis

power and gas companies. will be gone.
They are absolutely necessary to the
community.
But I do think there will be few
factories here. Conditions are rapid
ly forcing the common workman to
move elsewhere. One great cause is
the lack of competition for labor
Salaries are low because there appears
to be two men for every job. And
also two women. The habitual dis
couragement of factories can have but
one effect. And that is to scare away
a class OF people very necessary to the
life of every great city. Rents, food
and everything else is higher here
than elsewhere. The average man on
the streets of Washington seems to
have less money in HE pocket than
his brother in Baltimore.
Taxpayers seem to be having a
harder time. All told Washington is
the last place for a poor man. 1t is
entirely too cosmopolitan for the mid
die class. There is not a capital city
in all Europe where the working class
es are under such handicaps as they
are here. In every one of these Euro
pean cities there are vast manufactur-
ing establishments. South America has
few cities jHst like Washington.
There seems to be no relief in sight.
Il can see a great change in the
city. More and more barriers are
being erected against the common
workman. And they are permanent
ones, too. All throughout the great
manufactures of the northeast and
east you will find former residents of

PRIMITIVE AMERICANS
DESCRIBED BY LECTURER

The Washington Society of the Archae-
illogical Institute held its regular meet
ing yesterday afternoon at the residence
of Mrs F. B. Moran. 23l5 Massachusetts,
avenue northwest. Professor Lewis B.
Patton, of Hartford Theological Semi
nary. sometime director of the American
School of Oriental Research in Rome,
was speaker. His topic was "Survivals
of Primitive Religion in Palestine" Illus
trated with lantern slides. Professor
Patton said in part:
The religion of the primitive Canaan
ties consisted in the worship of an i'm
mense number of local spirits that inhab-
tied springs, trees, mountain tops. caves
and tombs. When the Israelites con-
quered Canaan. they appropriated the
sanctuaries OF the earlier inhabitants and
continued the worship that had been paid
to the ancient baals. The prophets Op-
posed this sort OF religion. Deuteronomy
commanded a destruction of the high
places, but little was accomplished
