ways is Being Urged-Military
Value fs Shown.

A few days ago big government
motortruck stuck hard and fast in q
rut on the road between Washington
and Baltimore. A commercial truck
tried to get around 1t from one direc-
ton and another government truck
from the other direction. Both Of
these also stuck. Soon this over
Travelled road, for mile each way,
was damned with squawking cars and
trucks. All traffic was stalled for the
better part of day, with the result
that war work was delayed, suburb
antics were late to dinner and thirsty
Westinghouse were unable to reach
the Maryland oasis.
This incident is no special discredit
to the Maryland ROAD builders. The
Westinghouse Baltimore road was not
built for the amount and kind of traffic
1t is now bearing. The same is true
of many other highways in all parts of
the country. More and more motor
trucks are taking over what used to
be "short haul" railroad freight. And
the short haul that is accomplished
by mOtortruck has gradually length
ened from ten or fifteen miles until
now much freight is carried POO miles
In trucks.
Such facts are the basis of a drive
being made on congress for legisla-
ton to empower the federal govern
ment to unity roads of the country into
comprehensive system and to spend
the money necessary to make the
roads adequate to meet the new re-
quirements. The federal government,
1t is claimed by proponents of the
plan, must do the work, because
central authority is absolutely neces-
sary to the perfection of a national
system of roads.
The federal government should
spend the money, they say, because
their military value makes the roads
great national asset. This military
value of good roads is already shown
by the dependence which the govern
ment Is placing upon them for the
moving of troops and supplies. In Eu-
rope 1t has been even more convinc-
ingly demonstrated. 1t has been said
that good roads saved France and the
lack Of them defeated Russia. 1t is

Hot Weather PoiSonS
Hit The Stomach First
How to Keep Your Stomach
Strong, Cool and Sweet

Hot weather always starts those
quick chemical changes which pro-
duce poisons in meats, fish, fruits,
vegetables, milk and food products.
Such summer poisons in foods not
only make well stomachs sick but de-
velop with dangerous rapidity in
sensitive, sick or ailing stomachs and
bowels.
These poisons not only generate
gases and fluids which cause that
bloated, lumpy feeling, heartburn, sour
stomach, belching, acidity, but endless
other stomach and bowel miseries.
A sure, safe, quick acting relief has
been found which absorbs and neu-
tralizes these poisons, too much acid
and harmful gases. EATONIC Tab
let's, one or two taken after every meal,
will keep your stomach sweet. You
will have good appetite to eat what
you like, when you want it and be

What Made Him lauoh2

An impertinent young man once de
clared that women positively could not
keep a secret, whereupon would-be
youthful lady naturally took issue with
him, stating that she had kept one
since she was twenty-one.
"But you will let 1t slip some day.

Moravians.
Two suggestions for organic union
will be considered. The first con-
templates a union Of the numerous
denominations somewhat like that OF
the States. II would require the de.
nominations 10 surrender certain pow
ers and commit the Jurisdiction TO 0
central governing body similar 10 Con
gress Each denomination would pre-
serve the local self-government
The second suggestion, favored by
some Episcopal churchmen, Is that OF
absorption, namely. to have all OF most
OF the denominations unite with one
Of the church bodies
IL either suggestion receives indorse-
ment OF the conference, or II the de-
liberations show the churches are ready
to consider union, the delegation will
report TO their respective judlcatories,
and a convention will be called TO ar
range for a union OF the churches

tion OF the i30th Presbyterian Genera
