no one dares predict.
Conditions in Germany again are

The popular opposition against DR..

will only remain calm.
The Radicals or Independent Social
lists are working strenuously against
the constituent assembly. Seeing
there is a popular demand for ii.
they are now promising they will
not oppose ii, but they assert that
this is not the time for it. All SOL
diers and prisoners OF war must
first have an opportunity to study"
the political situation before they can

Supplementary news about the fed

terday's information that the con-

against radicalism, but it shows that
they nevertheless were forced to bow
to the Soviets by adopting this clause:

Ebert and his conferees are con-

situation is that the strongest So

out for blaze in couch in the Chase

cupied by A. A. Slower, who lives alone.
Mr.. Slower is janitor of the Methodist
church and had Just locked his home to
ring the church bell. 1t is supposed the
couch caught fire from the stove near it.
Chief S. S. L. Shute, fearing Mr.. Slower

i finding the burning couch attempted to

Mrs. Horace j. Morton has received
from her cousin, Lieut.. Charles E. Wash
burn of Lewiston, now somewhere in
France, a beautiful souvenir from the
Somme battlefield "a shell case. 1t is
fourteen inches long and inches in d.
ameter and one would scarcely recognize
the deadly missile in the handsome vase
that arrived here last Saturday. 1t has
been carefully hammered A three inch
highly polished brass border edged with
narrow conventional scroll extends
around the top and bottom, while the
centerband is rough with small floral
ornamentation. Its base shows that it
was the real article, as claimed. Lieut..
Washburn writes that it is very difficult
to obtain these and that they are highly
priced even in France. The shells are
used in the famous rs m-m en- batterie.
Lieut. Washburn was for fifteen years
member OF the Yin company M. y. n.
and is now with the American Expedi-
tionary Forces with Battery F., 81 Artil-
lery C. A. c. He was married last Oc-
tober to Miss Helen Quinlan of Augusta
and left this country the last of March.
In personal note Lieut.. Washburn says
that in ''sunny France" he has seen more
rain, mud, etc., than in any other country
he ever visited. He was delighted with
the land of thistles and shipbuilding and
very much interested in England, par
ticularly Winchester, where the U. S.
boys enjoyed visiting the scenes they
learned of in their school days. Aside
from bad colds, which all the boys have
on account of the damp weather, he is
feeling fine and glad to do his part in the
world war.

BUSY BUSINESS MEN.
Science Helps Them Out After Recklessly
Abusing the Stomach.

The most reckless man in regard to
health is the busy business man. At noon
he rushes out for bite to eat. He bolts
his food without proper mastication, and
heaps on his stomach an extra burden
greater than it is able to carry without
breaking down.
His overworked stomach is crying for
help, it appeals to him for relief in vari-
GUS ways: Expulsion of sour gas, water
brash, sour taste in mouth, heaviness
after eating, shortness of breath, bad
breath, etc.
