cid-Stomach
Ruins Health
Of Millions

Besides those painful attacks of in.
digestion; that awful bloated, lumpy
feeling after eating and downright
stomach misery that you who have
experienced 1t know so we'll; besides
disgusting belching, food-repeating,
sour stomach and distressing heartburn
besides oil this, ACID-STOMACH

strength Of millions.
II you don't get rid of those stomach
miseries there is no telling where your

mediate stop to belching and heartburn,
ends stomach suffering and makes 1t

Ihere can be no further excuse for
you to allow acid-stomach to wreck
your health-pile up misery upoH mis-
cry until you get to the point where
you feel down and out and that life has
lost all Its joys. Remember, Just MS
acid-mouth ruins teeth, so acid-stomach
ruins health.

terned in the big colony at Hot Springs.
N. c., or $176.15 apiece a year. OF that
5l cents 30 cents Il day is the cost OF

about $400. 900. The camp itself cost
$125. 900 to build. Probably the whole

There is today a trail of women
from northern invaded France to

years of age, nuns from the hummer

practically all, about to become un-
willing mothers at the hands of the
unthinkable savagcs and pagan Ger

A FINE ILLUSTRATION

One of the most significant and
most beautiful designs inspired by
the war is that on the cover of the
Literary Digest of April IS. 1t re-
presents soldier with an anxious,
strained countenance looking out of
a trench on the battle line. Then
there appears in the sky rainbow
with bright stars on the side and with
brilliant red, white and blue stripes
The American boys are coming over
the sea to help the Allies fight for the
worlds freedom-freedom from au-
tocracy, despotism, tyranny.
While all the leading journals are
doing their share of patriotic work in
connection with the world war, none
of them is doing more efficient help
than The Literary Digest. The cover
pages of this publication are always
of the finest designs but this particu-
lar cover is inimitable.

What have we in common to cause
pulse and prepare to die for common
cause? 1t would be easy to formulate
the characteristic dreams of the Rus
sian. the Italian, the Belgian, the
Scotch, the Irish or the Portuguese. 1t
would be possible to catch the gleam Of
idealism which has given to the French
the glorious title of the Hero Nation"
But none of these would sufice. We
must take a cross section of all of
them, and dozen more, to formulate
the ideals which course in common
through them all after they have been
united into what we call America. For
1t is common ideals which have trans
formed the men and women Of all these
races and kindreds and tongues into
our nation, which stands today facing
the grim fact of war, war to which
no man dare call them in the name Of
race, or language, or previous allegi-
ance.
World Citizenship.
The President has placed our inter-
vention In this war upon q plane Of
whatever race, may rally without los
Ing hold upon the best traditions Of
the land from which his forefathers
have come. 1t Is not the call of mar
row nationalism. but the call Of world
citizenship.
Our entrance into this war is no con-
cession to the accursed gospel of force
and fraud. We wish nothing for our
selves, but have resolved Ito quote the
oft quoted words Of our President)
that "the world must be made safe for
democracy-and its peace-planned

LIBERTY AND EDUCATION

In another column appears a letter
from Mr.. Peter C. Campbell, Ches-
tertield County's wcll-known expon-
ent of peace and liberty"
Mr.. Campbell is here found attack
ing the new compulsory education
law, believing, as he says, such a law
is tainted with "Germanism."
While we will not enter a prolong-
ed controversy, we must this time
take issue with Mr.. Campbell. We
believe he has entirely misconstrued
the meaning of the precious word
Liberty" as applied to American in
stitutions.
John Stewart Mills, one of our
greatest political writers on demo-
cratic principles, said: "My liberty
ends when it begins to involve the
possibility Of ruin to my neighbor."
There is, then, no such thing in
the world as complete personal liber-
ty. In whatever direction one may
turn he is sure to find his liberties in
terferred with when they begin to
interfere with the rights and liber-
tes of others. Only in the middle Of
desert, far removed from every
other human being could one realize
the type Of liberty that Mr.. Campbell
Graves.
This type of personal liberty is be-
ing tried in Russia with dsastorous
results. Anarchy reigns in that un-
happy country and vast numbers of
the inhabitants are now wearing the
calling yoke of Germany.
But to return to Chesterfield conn
ty once more. This law will rob no
one of his just rights. ONLY the
man who claims the right to rear
his children in the disgraceful bond
age of ignorance will feel the ecect of
this law. This law is based on the
belief, now everywhere accepted,
that no man has the right in this
hhcrty-Ioving country to wilfully
stunt the intellect and darken the
souls Of his children.
