You don't know what upset, your
stomach-which portion of the food

bother. II your stomach is in a re-
volt; if sick, gassy and upset, and
what you just ate has fermented and
turned sour; head dizzy and aches;
belch gases and acids and eructate
undigested food; breath foul, tongue
coated-just take a little Pape's
Diapepsin to neutralize acidity and
in five minutes you wonder what be-
came of the indigestion and distress.
Millions of men and women today
know that it is needless to have dys-
pepsia- A little Diapepsin OCCASION
ally keeps the stomach sweetened,
and they eat their favorite foods
without fear.
If your stomach doesn't take care
of your liberal limit without rebel
lion; If your food is a damage in
stead of a help, remember the quick
est, surest, most harmless antacid is
Pape's Diapepsin which costs only
fifty cents for a large case at drug
stores. It's truly wonderful-it stops
food souring and sets things
straight, so gently and easily, that it
is really astonishing. Your stomach
will digest your meals if you keep
acids neutralized.-Adv.

THE RAILROADS BIT.

Quietly and efficiently the railroads
Of the country are doing yeoman
service in the war preparations of
the United States, and much of the
credit for it is due the railroad war
board.
Since war was declared the rail-
roads have transported more than
half million troops and all the sup
plies for them. without a mishap Of
any kind. Many of the soldiers have
been moved two or three times owing
to transfers from one camp to an
other.
The war pressure has been met
despite the difficulty in floating
bonds due to thee Liberty Loans. the
steadily rising costs Of operation,
and the. rigidity of freight rates,
When the catastrophe caused by the
breakdown of Russian transportation
is noted, the nation must realize the
asset it has in its railroad system.
Since the day when Commodore
Vanderbilt sowed the seeds for the
public's war on the. railroads with
his famous remark THE public be
damned, there has been a revolu-
ton in railroad policy. From the
old Commodore to the railroad war
board Of 1917 is as far a cry as from
Car Nicholas to Kercnsky.

CHEAP BREAD BY SUBSIDY
ROUTE.

White -four is reported to be SELL
ing cheaper in England than it is in
America.
Such is the case.
But Lord Northcliffe explained the
paradox in a speech at Chicago yes
terday. White -four is being sold I'M.
der cost in England. The deficit is
made up by tax. In brief, the -four
business is subsidized to the extent
of about S2OO.OOO,0OO a year in Eng
land. That is the reason why Eng
lish people are getting bread cheaper
than Americans can buy it. There is
another reason for the cheaper bread.
It is q poorer quality of bread, made
from a poorer quality of -four.
The plan isn't one that appeals to
an American. 1t is a makeshift and
savors too much of charity. 1t is
throwing a sop to the poor man. 1t
may be a necessary wartime ex-
pedient in England, and possibly
America may be brought to consider
1t If the war continues a year or
two, but it is an expedient and not
a permanent measure,

BOTH WERE SUCCESSFUL.

Pickets of the Women's party who
surrounded the White House got ar
rested; got their pictures in the
newspapers: got workhouse SEN
fences; got a chance to pose as mar
tyrs to a cause; got excitement; and
got enough notoriety to satisfy a
Movie" queen.
Women OF the New York women's
suffrage party who requested an in
terview with the President and pre-
scented their case to him in digni-
fed way. got the first public re-
quest for votes for suffrage ever Civ
en- the cause by a. President of the
United States while in the White
House.
Both probably accomplished their
aim. The Endorsement of President
Wilson may win as many votes for
suffrage as the pickets lost, and may
not.

Other Mems Views
An Editorial That May or May Not
Square With The Forums
Opinions.

The New York World: Chester N.
Wright, former editor of The New
York Call, the Socialist organ in this
city, is the latest Socialist to resign
from the party because OF the stand
it has taken recently on the war.
Mr.. Wright in his letter Of resigna-
ton to, the Downtown Night Work
ers' branch of the New York County
local, says the party's policy in re-
gard to the labor movement also
contributed to his desire to leave 1t.
Mr.. Wright has long been an ardent
supporter of the American Fedora
ton Of Labor. and it was because of
a dispute about this that he left
The Call last March.
"As relates to the labor movement
and to the war, two Of the most
fundamental matters, the Socialist
party policy 1 consider entirely
wrong" Mr.. Wright wrote. Instead
of being in harmony with the party
on these points / am completely OPP
posed to it and consider its attitude
such that it has lost all color as a
working class political expression.
Mr.. Wright is now a member OF
the advisory council Of the Ameri-
can Alliance for Labor and Democ-
racy, the body formed about a week
ago, with Samuel Gompers as
chairman. The alliances avowed OBJ
iect is the elimination of pacifist
and pro- German influences from the
American labor movement. 1t is
aimed directly at the workmen's
council, an organization that has the
backing of the United Hebrew trades
and other east side unions.
Before he came to. this city Mr..
Wright held editorial positions on
Socialist papers in Milwaukee, Chi
cago and Los Angeles. He was police
commissioner in Milwaukee under
Mayor Seidel.

THE PSYCHOLOGY OF
THE CAMP.

One keynote is sounded in all the
letters from the boys in the train
ing camp-those letters which form
the most interesting column in The
Forum each evening.
They all want to "get into the
game"
1t is surprising how unanimous is
this sentiment. They are like the
men on the sidelines of a football
game. Some have even asked per-
mission to enlist as ambulance driv-
ers and get across" a little earlier
than their fellows.
These men are not blind to the
dangers they are facing. They know
the sacrifice they may be called upon
to make. They are going into it
with their eyes open to its horrors.
And they are just good average men,
no Drawer and no more cowardly
than those who have been left at
home. Yet it would be difficult to find
man who would step from the
SJEeeLh Oh dA6o ulAGGLAy INV %
trench without a shudder.
The psychology Of the camp iS
of scarcely less Importance than the
physical training and the instruction,
The men are accustomed to war
mentally as we'll as physically. This
transition was quite yividly describ-
ed in 1.-THE Diary of a Coward"
written by a French soldier for the
Atlantic Monthly. He describes the
fears he entertained when he first
enlisted. and then writes of the
training as follows:
I'VE are making good progress
with our training. But most OF
the men are. muttering IL should
go faster. It is taking too long to
please them. Are they honest
about this? believe they are,
most of them at least. There are

THE CASE OF EGGS.

The Corner Grocer heaved a heavy
sigh.
Take the case of eggs" he said. I
read that article in The Forum about
the cold storage men wanting the
government to take their surplus
stock at Al cents.
Now / know what those eggs cost
them. None of them went into stor-
age at less than 80 cents a dozen,
and most of them at 55 cents. That's
what they paid the men out in the
country for collecting them. Then
there was the freight. and the big
expense of Gambling and sorting
them. throwing out all the broken,
checked and dirty eggs. I know
those figures are right, because
paid them myself. At a cents q
dozen, they won't net cent a dozen
on them. Then IL pay freight, over
head charges, expense OF handling
breakage. and cost Of delivery, and
