Nothing Better to Straighten You Out
After Eating Too Much. Tones

Pleasantly. Guaranteed.

Many people eat too much every
day and most eat much too much
some days. That is why Americans
suffer more than any people in the
world from Indigestion, biIiousness
and constipation.
With little thoughtfulness and
care, however, a great amount OF
this distress could be avoided and
youll never realize how true this Is
until you become one of the several
million people of this country who
keep a box Of Natures Remedy (NR
Tablets constantly on hand and use
it whenever Indigestion, biliousness or
constipation threatens.
Unlike laxative purges, cathartics,
such as oil, calomel, etc, which mere
ly force bowel action, Natures Remedy
exerts a beneficial influence upon the
entire digestive and eliminative sys-
tem-the stomach, liver, bowels and
even the kidneys. Its purpose is to
promote vigorous and harmonious &C
ton of all the organs that handle the
food and body waste.
That is why the results which fol-
low the use Of Natures Remedy are
always a delightful surprise to those
who first try it. The action while
prompt and thorough, is as mild and
gentle and pleasant as Nature her
self, and the thorough cleansing the
body receives brings a feeling Of
real relief and benefit such as no
laxative pill or cathartic ever pro-
duced for anyone.
Get a Csc box of Natures Remedy
(NR Tablets and try it. There is no
risk in doing so, for 1t must give you
greater relief and benefit than any
liver or bowel medicine you ever used
or money back instantly. It Is sold,

Henry Ford's Ambition

Mr.. Henry Ford. at the urgent re-
quest of the President" as he himself
says, has become the fusion" candidate
for United States Senator in Michigan,
and many Republicans are outraged by
what seems to them to be interference
from Washington in party politics. Mr..
Ford is technically Republican; in fact,
he is an unlimited supporter of Mr.. Will
son. A bitter political controversy is
threatened. Ex-Governor Chase S. o.
born has issued statement attacking
both the attempt to "put Ford over" and
tord's fitness to be a candidate, saying in
the first case that the intent is to disrupt
the Republican party in Michigan and in
the other that Fords notorious record as
a pacifst before we got into the war
ought to disqualify him for the nomina-
ton.
1t is necessary to say of these issues
only that they should not be raised. And
if Mr.. Ford's candidacy is bound to raise
them, then he ought not to be a candidate.
even at the urgent request of the Presi-
dent.
We greatly admire the qualities that
have made Mr.. Ford famous and rich.
But they are not the qualities of states
manship. He is genius in quantity pro-
duetion. The war requires all of that
genius there is. Mr. Ford is making an
important, perhaps invaluable, contribu-
ton to victory in the industrial field. But
with due respect to the happy American
presumption that success in one thing
qualities a man to succeed in anything,
we cannot predict great distinction for
Mr.. Ford on the plane of craftsmanship.
his contributions to political thought
have been fatuous. His paci6sm has been
offensive.

Fusions or Fights?
{Fro,n The Ne1p York World

When the President said to Congress the
other day that politics is adjourned" i.
must have been with some mental reserva-
tions. The attempt, with his approval, by
The Democrats of Michigan to force Henry
Ford upon the Republicans as a fusion can
didate for United States Senator may not be
party politics exactly, for Mr.. Ford is a Re
publican, but it bears strong resemblance
to political strategy
Party fusions for patriotic purposes have
been suggested in states and districts where
there is prospect that, with the loyal vote
divided, candidates opposed to the war or
otherwise in sympathy with the enemy may
be elected. Michigan is not such a state.
Its normal Republican majority is large and
the Senatorial candidates thus far suggest
ed by that party answer every test of
Americanism.
Although q Republican, Mr.. Ford is
known as an ardent supporter Of the Presi-
dent and his war policies. By making
such man their candidate in state
where one of their own number has no
chanc OF election, the Democrats show an
agreeable willingness to support Republi-
can. provided they have the privilege Of
naming him.
1t is possible, however. that this clever
performance may not promote the patriotic
harmony greatly to be desired at Wash
incton. Mr.. Ford's public statement that
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1918-06-16

Now, in very curious way it happens
that we know of one, and possibly two,
men in the United States with incomes
exceeding sixteen millions year. 1t is
known that the profits of the Ford Com
pany have run over fifty millions q year
for the last two years or more, and Of
this Mr.. Ford has little more than half.
In something of the same way it has
been computed that Mr.. Rockefeller's
income might be nearly, if not fully, as
large. 1t is fairly certain that there are
no others in this class.
SO in an odd way the application Of
Pareto's law to the returns given out
by the Treasury receives a rough and
ready verifcation from current informa-
ton.
The total income of these 206 persons
may be roughly computed at around $50
millions. This seems like an astonishing
sum, and is calculated to make even the
Bolshevist squirm. But how does it
compare with the income of all the peo-
pie of all the United States? Professor
W. I. King and others have made some
very rough and not very satisfactory es-
Inmates as to this latter figure; but the
general consensus is that the nations
total income for 1916 was probably not
much less than thirty billions. and might
readily have been forty-fve billions or
more. In other words, the income of
all the multi-millionaires could not have
much exceeded l per cent of the whole
The income of all the rich, that is to say,
of all the people with over $4,000 year
income, could not have much exceeded
one-fifth of the total.
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1918-06-16

at "the urgent request of the President" he
has decided to accept the nomination is at
least unfortunate, and it would not be sur
prising ii it returned to plague him and
others before many days.
Mr.. Ford adjourned his politics and
pacitism some time ago. Perhaps he will be
more useful in the Senate than in industry,
where great things have been accomplished
by him. Perhaps no straight-out Republi
can candidate can hope to defeat him at
the polls. Perhaps also the Republicans of
Michigan will kindly let Democrats in Lam
sing and Washington pick their candidate
for them and make no opposition.
But if there should be resentment in
Michigan as we'll as in many other states
what in the mildest terms must be
characterized as an exceedingly irregular
proceeding, we shall have more fights than
fusions, and the unity so ardently sought
will be dangerously menaced. In all cases
of proposed fusion our domestic peace will
be promoted if the majority party be given
first Of all opportunity TO prove it's met
tie Only where there has been outrage
Gus failure Of duty can minority d;ctaticn
be justified, and as for intrusion from
Washington, the less we have of it the bet
ter for all concerned
