Kramer Says: ''Eatonic' Rids Weak Stomachs Of
Acids, Gas, Heartburn, Food Repeating
and Stomach Miseries

What miserable feelings are caused
by an upset stomach That dull,
heavy, "bloated" sensation that follows
a full meal, robs good living of half
its pleasures. Is there any way out
for you sufferers with stomach weak
ness?
Yes; II. L. Kramer the man who
originated Cascarets, has found a sure,
quick, relief for indigestion, dyspepsia,
"sour stomach" heartburn, formation
Of painful gases, FLOATING etc, etc.
He calls his stomach relief EA-
TONIC, and it certainly is making
wonderful record. Countless thous-
ands Of people who formerly ap-
preached their meals with dread, now
eat their fill of their favorlte foods
without fear of the after-effects.

tablets are the solution of the age-old
problem of indigestion and all forms
of stomach misery.

Sometimes Washington correspond
ents wonder what the leading lights
on the metropolitan papers think Of
themselves and their influence. Take
for instance the recent changes of COM
mlttee assignments in the senate. Very
vigorous assaults were made on Sena-
tor Hitchcock of Nebraska on account
of his past record in relation TO the
war in Europe. principally before the
United States entered the war. When
Senator Stone died and II was sug-
gested that Senator Hitchcock would
be made chairman of the committee
on foreign relations, several prominent
papers broke out with vigorous de-
mands that Hitchcock should not be
the successor of Stone.
Well, the time came to All the vacan-
Cy, and Senator HitchcOck's name was
proposed ms chairman Of the committee
on foreign relations, and he was elect
ed In the senate without n dissenting
voice. The whole transaction was by
unanimous consent. Naturally the pa
pers that had been making these de-
mands could not have been very much
impressed with the influence they
welded.

Washingtou.-Already the officials of
Washington claim there have been
good results from the recent legislation
more power In regard TO seditious ut
terances and publications. 1t is as
serted there has been notable fall
ing off in the critical and carping COM
ments in many papers, while those per-
sons who were constantly fostering OPP
position to governmental war policies
have begun greatly to modify their ut
terances. Tho officials here believe
the mere fact that the power exists to
punish will have still greater effect
as the full knowledge of what the gov
erDment can do reaches the pro-Ger-
man sympathizers in America.
II is also asserted by officials that
the time is now oppOrtune for all per-
Mons Of German parentage or birth to
get on the right side and declare them
selves uneQuivocally for the United
States and against Germany. The Off
Gals here do not want to accept what
Is becoming a growing idea, that is,
Once German, always German"
for they believe there are many people
Of German blood in the United States
who are loyal, although they have not
manifested it by proper declaration
and works.
One thing seems to be assured,
how ever, that public sentiment in the
United States is going to cause the
enforcement of the rigid laws which
have been enacted, and it will be well
for the pro-Germans, whether Ameri-
cans or foreigners, to guard carefully
their utterances in regard to the Unit
ell States and the great war.

Washington authorities have learned
more interested in men who have
been ut the front, who have seen
service, and who have earned dis
tinction in fighting the Germans, than
they are in anything else connected
with the war. Pershing's men who
have been at the front and returned
get more attention than any other
kind Of men. in or out of uniform. Inc
so-called "Blue Devils" Of the French
army received a great deal Of atten'
ton, not only in Washington but else
where.
The Red Cross, which under its
present new management is doing so
much effective work, has been quick
to realize the value of men who have
actually done things. Therefore the
Red Cross takes 200 wounded French,
British, Canadian, and Australian men
who have been at the front and makes
them leaders in the movement to raise
the necessary money TO carry on the
Red Cross work.
1t all goes TO show that the actual
participation in the war by United
States forces is the one thing that has
aroused intense interest. That was
shown when our navy first went over,
and If more information were given
out about what our navy is doing,
there would be more real interest
manifested among our people In the
great war. 1t all goes to show that the
war must be brought home to people
before they become vitality interested
in 1t.

President Wilson has always been

letters lately which have been used

letters to senators and representatives
regarding legislation that he wants
passed or killed. He has written quite
a number of letters on the subject of
woman suffrage, and it was thought at
one time that he had influenced
enough senators to carry the amend
ment. In the house Of representatives

a bill, and IL usually has the effect of
