Omaha, Nov. 3.-To the Editor of
The Bee: Who is the man they call
Colonel House? The dispatches an
nounce that such man from the
United States has arrived in Paris on
an official mission of momentous
importance"
I supposed I knew something of
every man in America whose ability,
experience, character and achieve
ment would entitle him to represent
our nation in world crisis in mat
tiers Of "momentous Importance" but
the man they call Colonel House is
one on me. have made diligent in
quiry Of the best posted men I know.
They all seem to have found out
that he once lived in Texas, but now
in New York. A congressman of
whom inquired knew or thought he
knew, that he earned his title Of
colonel by serving on the staff of a
Texas governor. None of them knew
what his trade, vocation, business or
profession was in Texas or is in New
York. None knew Of single thing
he ever did or said or was ever ac-
cused of doing or saying until he
gum -shoed in on the scene at Wash
ington, two or three years ago. If

What Will Others Think.

Omaha, Nov. 4.-To the Editor of

the people Of this nation are de-
prived Of a voice in the government
and conduct of the war. / think the
vast majority of the American peo-
pie are deeply concerned about what

any reason why they should not

Many people seem to think that stomach
or superacidity--is of little Importance; that
it merely causes some slight trouble such as
belching, heartburn, sour, gassy stomach, food
repeating, bloat, etc.
If those same people would only realize the
real truth about acid-stomach and when these
first symptoms appear would at once start to
rid themselves of the excess acid, what crush
ing load of awful suffering, misery and i'll
health would be lifted from mankind!
Do you realize that the ill effects of an acid
stomach extend throughout the entire system
and more or less affect practically every organ
and tissue Of the human body from the crown
5 of the head to the soles of the feet? Well it's
would ever think that there could be any con-
nection between an acid-stomach and dandruff
and falling hair; or between an acid-stomach
and a equity foot. Nevertheless there is a
direct connection.
Now you know what acid mouth does to the
teeth. The acid eats right through the hard
enamel causing them to decay. What chance
then, do you think the delicate organization Of
the stomach has against excess acid?
The excess acid interferes with digestion and
assimilation. 1t causes the food to ferment
Makes the sour stomach and creates gases.
That's what causes those acute stomach pains
of indigestion, that miserable bloated feeling
after eating, heartburn, belching, food-repeat-
ing, etc.
Moreover that sour mass of fermenting food
becomes breeding place for countless millions
of deadly germs-toxic poisons they are called
They are absorbed into the system, impoverish
the blood, make it thin and weak. That is why
so many people you see are weak and emaciat-
ed; thin, bloodless and look bad; not down.
right sick but always ailing, lacking in vitality,
vim and vigor. They've lost their punch; are
listless in both their work and pleasures
they're run down and seem ''all in"
Now of course the right thing to do is to get
rid of Tie excess acid, give the, stomach chance
to digest the fod properly and Nature will do

Armies Won the War.

Omaha, Nov. 4-To the Editor of
The Bee: Contrary to the impress
sion that the democratic leaders are
seeking to create the breakdown of
the Teuton alliance has been caused
by the irresistible armies of the al
lies, and not by the skillful diplom-
acy Of President Wilson. The cleo
ton of democratic congress will
not make that breakdown one whit
more complete, and it will seriously
interfere with the difficult work of
reconstruction after the war. If the

Champ Clark's Compliments.

Omaha, Nov. 3.-To the Editor of
The Bee: All you who have drafted
sons or brothers or relatives or
friends-and you women who have
drafted husbands in the army, take
this from Champ Clark, democratic
leader and speaker of the house of
representatives, There is precious
little difference between a conscript
and a convict" If you want the
man who said this to remain speak
er of the house of representatives,
then follow the presidents instruc-
tions and work and vote for the
democratic candidate for congress
and when you have thus performed
your patriotic duty, write to your
boys and tell them honestly and
frankly what you have done. If you
want to retain Mr.. Clark as speaker,
it is necessary that you get in your
work, for the republican leaders in
Washington have given it out cold
that If they control the house they
will replace him with speaker who
regards the conscripted or drafted
man the peer of any soldier who
ever wore uniform or carried a
gun. A VOTER.
