ToDAYs ANNIVERSARY

There was time when appendicitis was quite a fashionable disease In some parts of Europe it was known as the American disease The first operation for appendicitis was per- formed at St. Luke's hospital, Denver Colo, thirty-three years ago in Jan- uary, 1885. A young woman residing in Davenport, Ia., had the distinction of being the first person to have the troublesome vermiform appendix re- moved. The operation, necessarily, was in the nature of an experiment. and the patient was so informed, but she pluckily declared her willingness to submit to the knife, as a last re sort. It was not until about two years later that another operation of htis kind was performed. Since then thou sands of such operations have been performed in every hospital in the world. Although the first patient was a woman, subsequent investigations have shown that the disease is mucE, more likely to afflict males than fe- maasA

RID STOMACH Or GASES, SOURNESS,
 AND INDIGESTION
"Pape's Diapepsin" relieves stomach distress in
 five minutes.

You don't want a slow remedy when your stomach is bad-or an uncertain one-or a harmful one-your> stomach is too valuable; you mustn't injure 1t with drastic drugs.
 Pape's Diapepsin is noted for its speed in giving relief; its harmless ness; its certain unfailing action in regulating sick, sour, gassy stomachs. Its quick relief in indigestion, dyspep- sia and gastritis when caused by acid ity has made it famous the world over.
 Keep this wonderful stomach sweet ener in your home-keep it handy get a large f1fty-cent case from any drug store and then if anyone should eat something which doesn't agree with them; if what they eat lays like lead, ferments and sours and forms gas; causes headache, dizziness and nausea; eructations of acid and un- digested food-remember as soon as Pape's Diapepsin comes in contact with the stomach it helps to neutraltze the excessive acidity, then all the stomach distress caused by it disap- pears. Its promptness. certainty and ease in overcoming such stomach dis orders is a revelation to those who try it.-Adv.

HIGH COST OF SHOES CAUSES
 INVESTIGATION

Washington, Tuesday-Hides and leather today were added to the list of necessities under investigation by. the Federal Trade Commission to deter mine why the price of shoes is lex ceedingly high" while unusually large stocks of raw materials are alleged to be held in storage.
 Inquiry is to be made promptly to ascertain the reasonableness of the profits being made by all persons han ding leather articles. It is expected that investigation will commence at the source and, after threshing out the prices received by the packers for the raw hides, will go into the ex- penses of tanning, manufacture and even distribution.
 ] Information obtained by the com missions investigators in obtaining data on which government contracts are based is said to have been respon- sible for the decision to make official record of all the details of the hide and leather industry.
 Exceedingly High Prices l Indication that the commission also may have obtained information per sonally on the cost of shoes was seen in the resolution authorizing the in- vestigation, which recited that 1t "had been common experience that exceed ingly high prices are now charged" Commissioner Joseph B, Davies who is in charge of the meat packing investigation, will direct the hide and leather inquiry, which will be inde- pendent of other inquiries touching the same materials. The commis- sion's resolution says:-
 Where as it Is common experience that exceedingly high prices are now charged for shoes, which are a prim! necessity of life, and for leather pro- ducts generally; and,
 Whereas 1t is alleged that unusu- ally large stocks of hides and of leath- CT are now on hand, and that tan neries, leather factories and shoe fac. tories are operating far short of their capacity; and,
 In Public Interest
 Where as it is in sne public inter est to promptly ascertain the fact as to the reasonableness of the present prices of hides, leather, shoes anG Oln6E lSdlIl6I dIItO as to the reasonableness of the profit being made in their production and distribution:
 Resolved, That the Federal Trade Commission make an investigation o1 the above matter, not duplicating the data already being gathered in con- nection with the meat investigation and not duplicating any data being gathered by the War Trade Board ol other departments of the govern ment:
 That the necessary additional force be employed to promptly carry on this work: .-
 That necessary arrangements be made with the President for funds to meet the expenses of this investiga- ton; and, That the Advisory Economic Board be directed to promptly submit a, plar and estimate of expense and recon mendations as to men for this inves tigation."

WARS AGAINST RELAXATION OF
 CHILD LABOR LAW

Washington Jan. 1.-The increasing necessity for maintaining standards of child welfare during war time was referred today by the Children's s Bureau in 8 New Years warning, calling the attention of American cii- zens to the disastrous effects of ex- emptions from child labor regulations in foreign countries.
 Foreign experience shows that countries which have permitted spe- cial exemptions from child labor stands" the statement says, have almost with one accord regretted them as both injurious to the children and inefficient as regards industrial re- suits. The immediate penalty has been a swelling stream of child offenders pouring through the courts.
 Protection of babies and little children, and of their mothers-a first essential In war time to replace the wastage of human life on the bat tlefield-demands local provision for adequate nursing and medical care. Federal protection not being available as yet, the full burden rests with each SIdl0 anu C--O1 ldS5C anu high prices of milk in many communi- ties also is a matter of grave concern.
 Upon each community also must lie the responsibility for seeing that mothers are not driven by want to leave their children and go to work. The fathers wages must keep pace with the high prices, and if he is called to the army and the family 8 separation allowance is inadequate the community cannot afford to shift to the mother the burden of supplement- ing this allowance. Also for the widows Of civilians and their children, if the State provides no mothers pen sion the mothers work is a costly sub stitute.
 Neither must the burden of sup port nor the pressure of demand for labor be allowed to rest upon the chill dren themselves. The Children s Bureau during the New Year will systematic further its enforcement of the Federal Child Labor law, but school attendance requirements and many forms of child labor are not in- cluded in this law, and the bureau urges the importance of maintaining in each State the highest standards of 1 training and of protection

Of Spanish Consul.

Washington. - Attack by Turkish
troops on the American consulate at
Tabriz, Persia, and the footing of the
American missionary hospital in that
city, reported to the State Depart
ment, was believed in some quarters
here to presage the long anticipated
declaration Of the existence of state
Of war between the United States and
the Ottoman empire.
Diplomatic relations between the
two governments have been suspend
ed since April 20, 1917, when Turkey
withdrew Abdul Hak Hassein Bey, who
had been acting as charge of the
Turkish embassy here since the com.
pulsory retirement of the regular am.
bassador, which followed his open
criticism Of the United States govern
ment. Necessarily American Ambas-
sador Morgenthau was obliged to leave
Constantnople and since that time the
relations between the two govern
ments have been just short Of actual
formal enmity.
