Lloyd George Will Face
Bitter Political Attack

London, Nov. 13.-Indications of an
approaching bitter attack on David
Lloyd-George as premier, because of
what he termed his "brutally frank y
speech in Paris yesterday, became evi-
dent today.
Former Premier Asquith, plainly
greatly excited, demanded in commons
this afternoon when the premier would
make statement explaining his every
grave" speech.
This is the first time Asquith has
taken position apparently hostile or
critical of Lloyd George since Asquith
was retired as prime minister.
Lord Northcliffe, one of Lloyd
Georges strongest supporters in the
past, arrived back in England only
yesterday.
The press today generally criticised
the utterances of Lloyd George led by
the Northcliffe press.
Asquith IS demand was greeted with
cheers in commons. 1t was apparent
that bitter debate will follow, in which
Lloyd George will probably be forced
to fight desperately to maintain the
position he has taken as regards the
Joint allied council.

Relieves Indigestion
In Two Minutes
Simple Remedy Saves
Doctors Bills

If you suffer from dyspepsia, indi-
gestion, pain after eating, gastritis,
heartburn or any stomach trouble due
to acidity or food fermentation-and
over ninety per cent of stomach COM
plants are due to these causes-go to
your druggist and get SO cents worth
of Bi-nesia. The next time you eat or
have pain in, the stomach take a tea
spoonful in little hot water and note
how quickly all pain and discomfort
ceases. 1t is said that thousands of
soldiers use this simple remedy at the
front and many attribute their free
dom from all digestive troubles in spite
of exposure, hasty eatisg and poorly
cooked food, to its regular use. Chem
lists say that its almost invariabh sue
cess is due to the fact that Binesia
instantly neutralizes the excess acid
and stops fermentation, thus promot-
ing healthy, natural digestion. Being
absolutely harmless as well as mex
pensive, Bi-nesia should be kept on
hand in every home where economy
and good health are sought.
IMPORTANT - The Bi-nesia men
toned above is a harmless but won
derfully effective remedy which you,
can make at home or any druggist can
prepare for you by mixing 1l2 ounces
bisoma carbonate with l ounce mag
nesia carbonate. If, however, you wish
a guarantee of satisfaction or money
back, be sure to ask for an original
package Of Bi-nesia.

HIGH SCHOOL RAISES
Y.h.C.A. WAR FUND
Girls Active In Work and Sub
scriptiOn Will Reach $1,000
or More

"What's the matter with letting the
girls in ON this9'
Such was the inquiry made yester-
day morning at the assembly in the
high school when talks were being made
about raising $3.50 for the war work
fund of the Y. M. c. A.
1t seems that the state committee in
assigning the quota for the several high
schools ad forgotten all about the girls
and had issued cards with the reading,
81 am an American boy. l cannot go
to the trenches but can do my bit at
home
This didn It suit the girls of the high
school yesterday and when there was Bug
talk of raising money, they asked per-
mission to get IN with the others. Hence
they were given cards, and where the
word "boy" appeared, they just sub
stituted "girl."
In raising funds for the Y. M. c. A.
war work, the Salem high school made
a record for the state, as with its reg
istration at $50 within a short time
yesterday the sum of 1852 was raised.
When the subject of funds was first
suggested to the school, the sum of $3.50
was thought the limit. The boys thought
a per capita of 81 might be nearer right
but later put a maximum fight at $3.50.
But with the girls coming in and the
general wish to help, the figures were
soon raised and today the maximum was
placed at $1,000. This amount the boys
think viii be easily reached as already
the subscriptions mount to something
over 1920.
In addition to the amount subserib-
ed by the students, the teachers of the
high school have subscribed $3.50.
A novelty in the way of raising money
at the school will be that of asking
the students to give everything they
have in te way of old jewelry, except
ing of course, heirle7:ns. And just to
make it more interesting, one of the
kettles of the Salvation army has been
borrowed and placed in the general hall
of the scool. Tomorrow morning the
kettle, that has served SO faithfully
for the Salvation army collections, will
be receiving the surplus jewels and jew
elry of the Salem high school students
all for the army and navy war fund
of the Y. M. G. A.

against captivity.

SCHOOL BOARD HAS
WOOD SUPPLY TROUBLE
Objection Is Made to Quality
Furnished by Successful
Contract Bidder

The scool board last evening tackled
the question as to what is first growth
fir and what is second growth.
When the bids for wood were award
ed, the figure last fall was for $3.50
for first growth and $3.50 for second
growth.
AT the wood pile grew and grew,
there was suspicion that the old fir
contracted for at $3.50 was fairly well
mixed with second growth that is worth
only $3.50 cord. As the contract read
first growth fir, the board didn It feel
called on to pay the $3.50 for a mix
ture. Hence, it was decided to tender
$500 cord and if the man who Sc
cured the contract didn't like it, the
whole thing would be passed up to the
state sealer of weights and measures.
There was also a slight suspicious that
the wood was being packed loose.
The people of Salem will be given
an opportunity to vote on the proposed
budget for 1918. According to the new
law, instead of the regular public meet
ing to dispose of the budget, which has
always been attended by hardly a ba-
ker s dozen, the budget is to be submit
ted at regular election when the voter
can cast ballot either for or against
the proposed budget. The voting places
will be the same as at school elections
and the date is Wednesday, November
%. If the budget sould be turned down
by the voters, the school board would be
compelled to borrow enough money to
carry on the schools for an entire year.
II is nroha ble that the VOTERS will also
be called on to express their ideas as
to whether te board shall raise $4,000
each year to retire bonds that will be
due in 1920.
The boys of the high school are filled
with patriotism but they would like to
carry real gun when going through the
Director Clarke thought
broom stick might fill the bill. The boys
are in earnest in their drilling as the
company of 20 has purchased at its own
expense regulation khaki suits and caps.
Now they want real guns and have ap-
pealed to the scool board to help in 10
eating same regardless of their age or
previous condition of servitude. The
boys do not ask for Krag-J Jorgensens.
They just want guns of any ancient
vintage.
With the school budget coming before
the people Nov % in a regular election
on that date, the same as an election
for school directors, and the public meet
ing at the city hall two days later to
pass on te city s budget for 1913, the
good citizen of Salem has now the
chance to express an opinion as to how
he money shall be spent.
