\ DE Nd STOMACH
OF What Use Is Ii!

Thousands? yes hundreds Of thous-
andS Of people throughout America
arc taking the slow death treatment
daily.
They arc numbering their own
stomach, the best friend they have,
and in their sublime ignorance they
think they are putting aside the laws
Of nature.
This is no sensational statement;
it Is 4 startling fact, the truth OF
which any honorable physician will
not deny.
These thousands Of people are swal-
lowing daily huge quantities of pep
sin and other strong digesters, made
especially to digest the food in the
stomach without any aid at all from
the digestive membrancc Of the stom-

Mi-o-na stomach tablets relieve dis

do more. Taken regularly for a few
weeks they build up the run down
stomach and max cit strong enough
to digest its own food. Then indiges-

Mi-o-na stomach tablets are sold by

Huge Army VIII Not be DemobiIizcd
Philadelphia, Nov. 21.--"Thc great
Red Cross army OF mercy which this
war has called into being must never
be demObilized," said Eliot Wads-
worth, acting chairman Of the execu-
tive committee OF the Red Cross. in
an address here today to workers in
the organization.
THAT the Red Cross should stop, or
that its spirit should die away, is un-
believable.' said Mr.. Wadsworth. "The
intense sympathy Of America for suf-
ferlng humanity will not cease with
the coming Of peace Where suffering
exists, there America will go with an
open hand, asking no return except
the satisfaction Of having helped.
AS the nations have struggled to
excel on the battlefield so now they
VIII struggle in the work Of recon-
struction which faces them"
Mr.. Wadsworth said that in feed
ing and clothing the distressed peo-
pies OF Europe there can be no ques-
ton that grave emergencies will arise
which will require instant action on
the part of volunteer agencies able to
cut the red tape and achieve quicker
results. Herein will lie the oppor-
tunty Of the American Red Cross, he
said.

FIGHTING SPIRIT
 OF DRAF TED MEN
 AT ARMY CAMPS

CAMP LEWIS, Tacoma, Wash, March 29.-A great body of men, drawn from every walk of life, repre- | senting every stratum of society, and coming from every industry and pro- fession-men from the factory and shop, from the office and store, men from the farms, doctors, lawyers, dentists-have been brought here from their civilian occupations and in a few short months transformed into a rug ged, physically fit, thoroughly trained l unit of the American army, eager to fight for the cause of democracy and liberty, finish their tasks and get back to their ordinary pursuits.
 This is what the selective draft has done for the people of the Northwest ern states.
 Has the selective draft law been success in raising an army to meet the common foe across the seas? Every man at Camp Lewis is con- sidered an emphatically affirmative answer to the question asked ire quently when congress passed the law making such an army possible last year.
 Every man in the camp has the fighting spirit No volunteer in the military service of the United States is more eager to do his part in this war than are the national army men here. The morale of the Ninety-first division is excellent This was attested to by Brigadier-G General Eli A. Helmfcg of the inspector generals department at Washington, who inspected the camp recently, and by every visitor who has come to see how the men are faring in military life.
 q wish they'd hurry us over there so we can do our little job and get back so I can plant my spring crops, the statement of one farmer, is the spirit which isa found all over camp. There go eight Huns," the comment of one man when the roar of the ar tillery in practice on range was heard, ! is typical. Every train of troops reav- ing camp is loudly eheered by the boys left behind and q wish I were going along" is the desire voiced everywhere as the good-byes are said. An order to entrain is the reward of months of preparation for which every man is waiting.
 The democratic spirit which pre- vails is notable. Officers and men mingle together at dances and only such class distinction as is necessary for military discipline is maintained They are all one here for one purpose and unit in enthusiasm for the Amer ican cause and in eagerness to meet the enemy, bring about a permanent peace and come back home to their families.

 This is Miss Ellis idea of helping America win the war. She is strong for the food production program but will not call for ranch work any man who might otherwise be with the colors,

Lillian, three year old daughter of H. Peterson, was recently the cause of much anxiety when she disappeared from her home in Juneau. A large rescue party was at once organized and after hours of search she was found under store on the beach in a snow bed. In a short while she would have been dead After a hot bath and a good rest the little girl is getting along very well.

nations have taught us that the at tempt by one nation to punish another by exclusive and discriminatory trade agreements have been a profile antag- onism which of ten times result in war, and that if a permanent peace is to be established among nations every obstacle that has stood in the way of international friendship should be cast aside. It was with that fundamental purpose in mind that ] announced this principle in my ad. dress of January 8. To pervert this great principle for partisan purposes
 and to inject the bogy of free trade
 which is not involved at all is to attempt to divert the mind of the na- ton from the broad and humane prin- ciple of a durable peace by introduce ing an internal question of quite another kind. American business has in the past been unaffected by the kind suggested and 1t has nothing tc fear now from policy of simple in ternational justice. It is indeed la mentable that the momentous issue o1 this solemn hour should be seized upon in an effort to bend them to par. tisan service. To the initiated ant discerning the motive is transparent

BISHOP WHITE IS |. DEAD FOLLOWING SHORT ILLNESS Vice President and Manager of American Chain Sue
 cumbs to Pneumonia. FACTORY TO CLOSE AS MARK OF SORROW But B Years Old, One of New England's Most
 Prominent Manu-
 lecturers.

Bishop White, vice president and general manager of the American Chain Company, Inc, of Bridgeport; treasurer of Pratt & Cady Company, Inc, of Hartford, and recognized as one of the foremost among the younger manufacturers of New Eng land, died of pneumonia on Sunday morning at his home, S63 Pennington avenue, West Hartford, He was B years of age.
 Because of his prominence in indus trial circles and his success in many lines, news of his death Is of more than statewide interest.
 Bishop White was born in West Hartford in 1885, the son of Niles G. and Minnie Bishop White. He was educated in the schools of Hartford, at Hotchkiss In Lakeville, Ct, and graduated in the class of 1908 from Sheffield Scientific School, Yale Uni Iversity.
 Immediately after finishing college MT. White became identified with a New York bank, and shortly there after started business as a manufac- turers' representative in the automo- bile supply trade which brought him in contact with the Weed Chain Tire Grip Company, with whom he became associated about 1911, When Ameri- can Chain Company was incorporated in 1912 MT. White went to Sherrill, N. , Y, to organize and manage that com
 pany, which later absorbed the Weed
 Chain Tire Grip Company after the
 business had been transferred tc
 Bridgeport. He then became vice
 president and general manager of the new corporation, a position which he \ held at the time of his death.

 Dear Senator: 1 am glad to re- spond to the question addressed to mo by your letter of October 26. The words I used in my address to the congress of January 8, 1918, were:
 The removal. so far as possible, of all economic barriers and the es- tablishment of an equality of trade conditions among all the nations con- senting to the peace and associating themselves for its maintenance
 "I, of course, meant to suggest no restriction npon the free determina- ton by any nation of it's own eco- homie polity, but only that, whatever tariff any nation might deem neces- sary for its own economic service, be that tariff high or low, it should apply equally to all foreign nations: in other words that there shal be no dis criminations against some nations that did not apply tp others. This leaves every nation free to determine for itself its own internal policies and limits only it's right to compound these policies of hostile discrimina- tions between one nation and another
