Don't Be Afraid
of Your eaIs
Take "Eatonic" and Laugh At
Stomach Troubles

81. L. Kramer, the man who origin
ated Cascarets, has discovered sure,
safe, quick-actng relief for bad stom-
achs. He named 1t EAToNIC for your
stomach's sake.
You can eat anything you like now
and digest It in comfort, for stomach
ease is positively assured IL you eat
an EATONIC tablet regularly after
each meal.
EATONIC acts directly with the
food the moment 1t enters the stom-
ach. 1t Immediately checks any ten
dency toward too much acid and en-
ables the food to pass from the stom-
ach into the bowel in a sweetened con-
dition, and thus prevents the forma-
ton Of sour distressing gases that up
set digestion and cause bloated, dull,
lumpy feeling that makes your
FOOD REPEAT.
EATONIC enables you to eat your

I'LL and laugh at indigestion, dyspep-
STA, heartburn, "sour stomach" and all
the other bugaboos Of "the-man-afraid-
of-his-stomach."
Kramer says: "EATONIC should be
in every home ready for use after ev-
cry meal. An EATONIC tablet will
aid you naturally to easily digest
and assimilate-your food can be thor
oughly enjoyed without the slightest
danger Of misery from acid stomach.
strongly advise every one to take EA-
TONIC after meals. To correct bad
stomachs and keep them in perfect
condition, 1t is a most wonderful dis
covery."
If EATONIC fails to give you
prompt stomach relief, your money
will be refunded; 50c buys a large box
at any drug store. Or write to Eatonic

preparation committee today the hint
was strong that the subcommittee
preparing the District appropriation
bill has already recognized the dan
gerous situation here as to the police
force and will fix a minimum salary
for new policemen at $1,0SO per year,
which, with the S12O bonus. will mean
a minimum for the next year of
81 200, offering more liberal induce
ment for applicants than now and
possibly enabling Major Pullman to
build his force to the maximum num-
Der authorized by law
The District bill may be reported
to the Senate tomorrow. It is not
absolutely closed. Should policemen
get the increases, Commissioner
Brownlow has urged, the bill will
pass the Senate, and II, is for the
House to accept or reject the in
creases to be made by the Senate.
The Senate will add pretty heavily
to the bill as IL passed the House
and a night between the two bodies
is assured. The House will, it was
believed today, accSpt the police in
creases.
Firemen Must BE Aided.
Washington firemen only yesterday
asked the District Commissioners and
the Senate for better pay. Senator
John Walter Smith and his colleagues
will not report the District bill until
they have given consideration to this
request of the firehghters. These men
had hoped to ignore the salary ques-
tion in Congress until they had OBJ
tanned the two-platoon system, al
ready enacted by the House and ia
vorably reported to the Senate. To
them this proposed system means
much. They were afraid to ask two
things at once, no matter how meri-
torious each might be. They got back
OF the two-platoon bill. But the high
cost of living is hitting them hard.
As it Is now they rarely see the mem
bers Of their families but when they
do get to their homes they are con-l

week; white and colored mechanics
everywhere are easily making 50 to
$40 per day.
Physical requirements equal to any
OF these men are expected OF Wash
ington policemen and hremen; the
mental requirements must be su-
perior, in most instances.
From their miserably small salaries
the bluecoats must buy uniforms and
contribute to retirement funds from

they may have a few dollars to pre-
vent actual starvation in their last
years.

pher or typewriter will accept a po-
sition in the Federal service today
under $1,000 per year to start with,
and so many OF them are returning
to their homes, dissatisfied with these
salaries and with the high cost OF
living, that the Government virtually
begs others to ilI the vacancies and
is constantly running up salaries to
hold these young people unencumber-
ed in most cases, by families.

II half as many Government en-
pIoyes leave here each month as are

show this TO be true-where is the
chance to maintain efficient police
and FIRE departments on 5000 and $500

ton from the Capitol, and will do

fronted with the complaints OF good
wives that they not not see how they
are longer to make ends meet
So. at the last minute, they ask for
living wages, II even a fair increase
would mean living wages. Against
this request they md the argument
that the two-platoon system will take
IA new men and a large increased
appropriation to meet it
Doubt Is expressed by some Sena-
tors whether the House will stand
for IA new men, and at the same
time increased salaries. That argu-
ment is equivalent to saying that il
men ask for two just things at once
it is impossible to give them but one.
Convey No Threat.
Washington firemen are members
of the International Association OF
Firefighters, affiliated with the
American Federation OF Labor, but
their request Of Congress is not ac-
compGnied by any threat They ask
for just the chance to maintain them
selves and their families.
These men. regardless Of favorable
Congressional action upon salaries,
have determined to work hard, each
individual, to recruit the fre depart
ment to the necessary number OF men
under a two-platoon system. They
do not want the department to slack
en- in efficiency. They will get those
IA men to fill the forty-flve vacan-
cies that now exist in the depart
ment The only question remaining
is whether existing salaries will hold
the men after they are gotten.

proving words by letter and tele-

county Bursum's political influence
was almost omnipotent. and Judge
Mechem himself later cut the dam
ages from $4,000 to $4,000 on the
ground that passion and prejudice
had entered into the verdict
In the course of this trial Colonel
Cutting, his sister. Mrs. Cabot Ward,
and two other persons present in the
courtroom told Judge Mechem that
they had seen the defendants attor-
ney, NJ. c. Spicer. signaling to the
plaintiff indicating the answers he
was to make during cross-examina-
ton. The matter was called to the
attention Of Judge Mechem, who. ac-
cordtng to Mr.. Mason, said that he
had been looking at the plaintiff and
had not noticed what the counsel was
doing. Judge Mechem persuaded the
attorneys for the defense to give up
their demand to have the matter
threshed out then and there, promis-
ing future action, which he kept post
poning. Finally he suggested that
the matter should be brought before
the State board of bar examiners. Pc

eXonerated Spicer in guarded Ian

private statements to Colonel Cutting

other observations upon Spicers

them. Thereupon The New Mexican
published the entire story, with eX-
press declaration that its opinion re-
garding Judge Mechem and his pO-
liucal relations was limited to its
view OF his act as a private citizen
in making statement in the Spicer
case and not to his acts as a judge.

Policemen and hremen will get a
square deal in Congress in the matter
OF Increased salaries, unless all signs
today fail
Complicated legislative processes
may delay favorable action, but Con-
gress is not without human and
practical elements. These are the two
factors that must decide that body
as TO whether Washington life and
property are to become seriously en-
dangered by crippled IRE and police
departments dwindling so fast in per-
sonnel as to awaken grave alarm on
the part Of the -city's executive heads.
Human Factor First.
The human factor should always be
hrst in dealing with any problem, but
solely from the practical point where
dollars overshadow humanity, there is
little else to do but provide suitable
salaries upon which the guardians Of
the city's welfare can at least subsist
decently and enable their families to
have some Of the things that others
have.
The blunt question facing Congress
and of course the people Of this
Federal capttal and those living out
side OF it who love it and wish it well
Is:
Is 1t any longer possible to main
tam a police department with 5000
per anuum salary for strong, able
men to begin with? or to obtain alert,
active, 1.-THE men for FIRE department
the entrance salary for which is $500
per year?
To these sala lies will be added
$120 each in the next fiscal year as
bonuses by the Government, bringing

In each department to $l,O2O and
&1-0So, respectively.
Congress Knows Question
Congress is thoroughly familiar
with the salary question here and
elsewhere. Mechanics at many war
industry plants are making more each |

man are drawing each month. Husky |
