A DIFFERENCE OF ELEVEN PER CENT

The federal food administration places the
rise In wholesale food costs at three and one
half per cent; the bureau OF labor statistics
places the rise in retail food costs at fifteen Per
cent. Both reports contain mass OF detailed
figuring and presumably are the work of expert
statisticians. IF both are taken as accurate,
what causes the entirely disproportionate rise
in retail costs7 Wherein does the retailer find
cause for an eleven per cent. excess over the
wholesaler? If both estimates are deemed too
low in accordance with actual conditions-th1s
is undoubtedly the view of the general public
what information is lacking to the govern
ment experts to enable them to- estimate on
the basis of what costs the people pays Some
where in the information which would answer
these questions lies the cause Of food costs that
are excessive in the light of announcements
made by the government.

WHAT TO EAT
Avoid Indigestion, Sour Acid Ston-
ach, Heartburn, Gas on
Stomach, Etc.

Indigestion and practically all
forms of stomach trouble, say medi-
cal authorities, are due nine times
out of ten to an excess of hydro
chloric acid in the stomach. Chronic
"acid stomach" Is exceedingly dan
gerous and sufferers should do either
one Of two things.
Either they can go on limited
and often disagreeable diet, avoiding
foods that disagree with them, that
irritate the stomach and lead to ex-
cess acid secretion or they can eat
"a they please in reason and make it
practice to counteract the effect
of the harmful acid and prevent the
formation of gas, sourness or prema-
ture fermentation by the use of a
little Bisurated Magnesia at their
meals
There is probably no better, safer
or more reliable stomach antiacid
than Bisurated Magnesia and it is
widely used for this purpose. 1t has
no direct action on the stomach and
is not a digestsnt. But teaspoonful

cess acidity which may be present
and prevent its further formation.
This removes the whole cause of the
trouble and the meal digests natur-
ally and healthfully without need of
pepsin pills or artificial digestents.

WHO WOULD HAVE THOUGHT OF IT.?

There is considerable of what to the plain
person seems like romance in the behavior of
prices and costs in war time; the most unex-
pected connections are developed between com.
modities that do not show any dependence on
one another The price of oranges has been
high for some time, and people believed easily
the statement that the lack Of transport made
the supply short. But Mr.. McAdoo says there
has been sufficient transport provided for
fruits. Now the real cause of the high price
in oranges has been divulged. There has not
been enough sugar to manufacture the usual
quantities of drinkables of "soft" persuasion
and SO everybody has been drinking orange
drinks, which need little or no sugar! Now
here is thing that seems simple enough, but
probably very few of us would have thought Of
it if the orange growers had not told us.

SOME PRESIDENTIAL POSSIBILITIES

The king of Saxony has sent his daughters
to Munich to learn cookery and be able to earn
their living if his throne goes down, as he fears
with reason that it may, when the house of Ho-
henzollern goes by the board. There is prob
ably not hereditary ruler in Europe who will
have any real power left at the end of the war.
Democracy is in the air already, and peoples
sick of kings are thinking about governing
themselves The king of Spain, a popular mon
arch as monarchs CO. has intimated his willing
ness to be candidate for president when the
time for scrapping thrones comes; and the
prince of Rumania has shown his democratic
leaning and contempt for royal traditions by
marrying into a so-called bourgeois family.
He may have made himself a presidential Dos
Fibility thereby. The war which is breaking up
empires is much more likely to break them into
republics than into petty principalities with
hereditary fgureheads.

newspapers (and the asking is unaccom-

A tree whose hungry mouth is pressed
Against the earths sweet flowing breast;

IS THIS AN ISSUE?

There are some who think that Colonel
Roosevelt may have uncovered formidable,
star-spangled issue for the 1920 campaign. He
has declared with his characteristic vigor that
we are in danger, under our present leaders, of
exchanging our robust nationalism for vague,
idealstic internationalism sure to expose us to
endless difficulties and peris. To put this sug-
gestion more concretely, to what lengths can
we safely go in promoting a federation of the
nations and program for joint action by which
we shall be bound? How far shall we in CO.
operation with other powers assume response
bility for the peace of the world and for the
success of the many experiments in democratic
forms of government that will soon, in all like
Ghood, be made by European peopes9
These and similar questions of gravest mo-
ment will confront us in years that are Just
ahead. Nobody can foresee the matters that
will wait on Americas decision as the old or
der makes way for the new Even more when
the war is over than now when it is going on
shall we need constructive craftsmanship at
Washington, and the best minds of the nation
to direct its course, instead of a junta playing
politics twenty four hours day and utterly
inhospitable to suggestions and advice
