ONE coMMoD1TY NOT H1GHKR

} The citizen with an average income
or less has a severe conflict on hand
these days to make ends meet. In
trying to secure the necessities Oh
life within his means, he tries first one
commodity and then another but all
most invariably meets the high cost
until, like dog on the trail Of birds
that have flown, his endeavors become
vain and hot resentment enters his
heart at existing conditions.
Deep mutterings and criticisms are
occasionally heard because Of the.
enormous profits made in certain lines
of big business. There is, however.
one line Of big business that, during
the past years of stress and trouble,
has not increased the price Of it's
commodity. The great stock FIRE In
surance companies that Tor many
years have been the bulwark Of the
mercantile business Of the country,
are noble exemplars Of the spirit OF
sacrifice which should prevail in these
days Of war.
1t has been demonstrated that there
is small profit in the underwriting bus.
mess itself; but these companies, by
wise investment of their resources,
have been able to show large accuma.
lations of funds: They have had to
submit to heavy, taxation Of their re-
sources and have put thousands and
millions of dollars into Liberty Loan
bonds at rates much smaller, than they
were otherwise able to secure. BIT
they have pursued the even tenor OF
their way without raising the price Of
their product and those who have in
sured their property IN the past year
or two have found that the rates they
paid have been no higher and N many
cases they have been even lower.
Give honor where honor is. due.
In view Of the above facts we are
amazed and chagrined to find that
some of our business men, men proi.-.-
nent in affairs, have taken insurance
away from local agents to place it IN
companies that are ephemeral, tenn
porary, and in some cases confined to
a certain class.

IF FAVORITE FOODS
UPSET STOMACH
TAKE MAGNESIA

If some of the foods you like
best do not agree with you and
make your stomach sour or burn,
producing acid indigestion don't
think you must give up eating
these good things and do not,
either, make the mistake Of swal-
lowing pepsin or soda pills after
every meal. Instead just make a
practice of taking teaspoonful
of pure bisurated magnesia In half
a glass of hot water right after
eating. The hot water will force a
needed blood supply to your stom-
ach and the bisurated magnesia
will instantly neutralize any ex-
cess of stomach acid and your d.
gestion will be natural and pain
less. Bisurated magnesia is not
laxative and its continued use is
entirely harmlNis as 1t never
weakens natulnl digestion. 1t
can be obtained at all well stock
ed drug stores. Be sure to get
Bisurated Magnesia. Do not use
other forms of Magnesia for this
purpose.

The general strike, so called, of

ANSWER
TO POPE
United rress Leased wire.)

WASHINGTON, Aug. 21.-Pres-
adent Wilson today postponed dis
cussion with the cabinet OF the
pope's peace proposal in order to
give undivided attention to war
work.
Russia, thru the embassy here,
has said the pope's proposal Will
not do in it's present form. This,
of course, has been the attitude
of all the allies since receiving it.
The whole question now is what
to include in the constructive reply
President Wilson is expected to
send.
He cannot accept the status quo
ante provisions.
He cannot admit Willingness
to sit about a peace table with the
German people represented by a
pawn of the Hohenzollernism.
He must demand guarantees
that will not be regarded as "a
scrap of paper" and these he be-
lieves impossible except from a
democracy.
The first reply to the pope's ar
peal appears to be a general allied
offensive of tremendously increas-
ing violence.
