que los Estados Unidos no Sc opo-

que 81 debe promulgarse con toda

innecesarias y ciertamente perju-

Las convulsiones de la pluma
y de la palabra son tan funestas,

de destruction de cualquier GO

Mi querido amigo:
En- la edicion del peri6dico Ell
MUNDO del dos de los corrien
tes, he leido un escrito de usted
titulado "Los Dos Fantasmas
No era mi proposito tratar pd-
blicamente de la nueva orienta-
cion politica que existe en- Puer-
to Rico y que hice constar clara
mente en- la audiencia reciente,

pero, su articulo expresa con tai
sencillez la materia que nos ocu-
pa, que por no prescindir de fe-
icitar a usted p1blica y muy sin
ceramente por su expresado ira
bajo, he de exteriorizar otra vez
mi criterio sobre ell particular.
No solo es cierto que los pro-
blemas locales de Puerto Rico Sc
dificultan y dilatan al mezclar-
los con la discussion del Estatus
Politico del Pals, sino que, en- la
gran mayoria de los casos, aque
Hos problemas quedan absolute
mente abandonados o habilmente
sin resolver, so pretexto de es-
tarse considerable la resolucion
del Estatus Politico de la Isla.
Esta es la Inica razon de haberse
retardado por tantos aiios, las
medidas transforms de gobierno
propio concedidas recientemente.
Los Estados Unidos no tienen
tornado juicio, nj en- pro nj en-
contra, de ninguna de las solu-
clones definitivas de la constitu-
cion politica de Puerto Rico ell

vamente, fomentar ell desenvol-
vimiento de la oapaoidad de los

que tai desenvolvimiento, no es
incompatible con cualquiera de

Xivo y premature hacer question

CHARLES W. WHiTTLESEY,
Major, 3O9th Infantry.

Major Whittlesey, the hero of the
"go to hell" refusal to surrender, was
decorated for conspicuous gallantry
and intrepidity in action with the enc
my northeast of Binardville. in the
Forest d'Argonne. France, October z
Z, 1918. Although cut off for five days
from the remainder of his division,
Major Whittlesey maintained his posi-
ton which he had reached under Or
ders received for an advance and held
together his command, consisting orig
inally of 1853 officers and men of the
3OSth infantry and Company X of the
3O7th infantry, in the face of su-
perior number of the enemy during the
five days. Major Whittlesey and his
command were thus cut off and no ra-
tions or other supplies reached him in
spite of determined efforts which were
made by his division. On the fourth
day Major Whittlesey received from
the enemy written proposition to
surrender which he treated with con-
tempt. although he was ut that time
out of rations and had suffered loss
of about 80 per cent of killed and
wounded of his command and was sur
rounded by the enemy. His home is In
Pittsfield. Mass.

acid. Brings instant relief from indi-
gestion, heartburn, sour belching, food
repeating, bloat and gas and makes
the stomach cool, pure, sweet ana
comfortable.
Dentists warn MS against the bad
effects of acid mouth, pointing out
that the acid eats through the enamel
of the teeth, causing them to decay
You can easily imagine then the
amount of damage excess acid will
cause to the delicate organization of
the stomach
Thousands of people are using
EATONIC and the results obtained are
so remarkable as to be almost unbe-
lievable. Yet their letters of grati-
tude, many of which are received
daily, prove absolutely that EATONlC
does all and even more than we claim
The medical profession, too. recog-
nizes the great value of this wonder
full remedy. A learned Michigan doc
tor wrote recently: II have had such
wonderful success with EATONlC that
/ want every one TO know how quick
ly 1t will neutralize the acidlty OF the
stomach (acid-stomach) and the stom-
ach will soon be sweet and normal
again, and the sick man well ano
happy once more"
So be sure to get n big box OF
EATONIC from your druggist today

Nervousness, sleeplessness. irritabii-

many other disorders which affect the

to the same urce-acid-stomach.

Use for Old Batteries.

In open fireplaces, especially where
wood is used for fuel gorgeous col
ored-flre effect may be produced, says
Popular Mechanics Magazine, by
placing one or two old dry cells among
the hot Goals. The substance with
which the top of the battery is sealed
soon burns away, and the heat sets
up chemical action, producing gas
which burns with n flame of vivid
blue, purple and green one oid dry
cell will continue the spectacle Tor
from half to three-quarters of an hour'
depending upon the heat of the hre
in which ii is placed. No danger at
taches to this production of colored
fire. 1t costs nothing. inasmuch ns old
dry batteries are ordinarily worthless,
but it will provide both pleasure ana
amusement at fireside gatherings.
