HE GOT THE GEORGES MIXED
Baseball Expert Evidently Had Some
thing to Learn About Prominent
Men Of the World.


A former pitcher in the defunct
Northwestern league. who sought
peace and quiet In a Seattle shipyard,
was discussing the war and kindred
topics during a breathing spell one
day. This hurler is well known for
the speed and "stuff' he gets or the
ball, and is not credited with more
gray matter than the law allows.
This latter circumstance possibly ac-
counts for his end of the following
conversation:
"This war sure has changed things
around some." opined the ball player.
How now?" queried his friend.
"well, you take England. for in
stance. England always had a king
until a short time ago"
whats the matter? Some one take
a shot at King George?"
'eWhy no, not that. They just don't
call him King George any more. Least
wise the only thing o see in the pa
pers these days is Premier George"

There is a much closer connection
between the stomach and brain than
most people imagine. 1t Is because OF
this close connection that indigestion,
belching, sour gassy stomach and
other stomach miseries-an OF which
are sure signs Of acid-stomach-are SO
often followed by severe attacks Of
binding, splitting headaches.
Nervousness, sleeplessness, irritapii-
ity, mental depression, m~elancholia and
many other disorders which AFFECT the
brain can also nearly always be traced
to the same source-acid-stomach.'
So often you hear people say Il am
10 I think I'll fly to pieces;
or at seems / never get a good nights
sleep any more, my nerves are all on
edge" Little do they dream that acid
stomach is the direct nus Of their
troubles because very often there are
no pains in the stomach at all. So you
see, you can't always Judge an acid
stomach condition by the way your
stomach. itself, feels.
II you are weak, nervous. unfit
you are not up to your old time form
If you lack your accustomed enthu-
siasm, energy and pep-make this test
and see II II Isn't a~cid-stomach that is
holding you back-robbing you Of your
health, strength, and vigor. Get Q

modern medicine that so quickly puts

acid. Brings instant relief from indi-
gestion, heartburn, sour belchipg, food
repeating, bloat and gas and makes
the stomach cool, pure, sweet and
comfortable.
Dentists warn us 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 graft
tude, many of which are received
daily, prove absolutely that EATONIO
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 EATONIC that
1 want every one to know how quick
ly It will neutralize the acidity of the
stomach (acid-stomach) and the stom-
ach will soon be sweet and normal
again, and the sick man well and
happy once more" .
So be sure to get a big box OF
EATONIC from your druggist today.
If 1t fails in any way to give you the
kind of satisfaction you want, take 1t
back-he will refund your money. He
doesn't want one penny of your money

A WORD TO VOTERS

No citizen man or woman,
worker of employer, can fairly
:answer the question, What has
1.-THE special session of Congress
done for me" without a sense of
regret at having voted last au-
tumn to supplant the Democratic
majority. More than two months
have elapsed since President Viii
son recommended to the special
session the passage of certain
statutes which were intended and
required to curb prohteering, to
reduce or at least stabilize the
cost of living, and to restore busi-
ness to the normal status of
peace. Not one of the Presidents
recommendations has become
law; no substantial progress has
been made toward their serious
consideration.
In the House of Representatives
the Republican majority is com
posite of factions which are unit
upon only one policy-that of op-
posing the President. In every
question of constructive legisla-
ton they are an incoherent aggre-
CATION of cabals and coterics, un-
able and unwilling to co-operat,
either with President Wilson OF
their own putative leaders. The
Scnatc's record of inaction and re
calcitrance is known to all tho
world
1t has become notorious, under
its reactionary Republican control
not for what it has done, right OF
wrong, but for all it has refused to
do. Opposing peace under guise OF
patriotism its partisan directors
have chosen to assume. it has per.
petuated every condition of wal
save that of certainty.
What do the Republican masses
think of their representatives in
Congress? What do they pur-
pose doing to correct the evils
which they voted upon the coun-
try-though perhaps unwittingly !?
They cannot escape responsibility
for their party save by reforming
or repudiating its leadership.

Keeps Of Potato BUGS.

And now comes a prophet who
arises in Missouri. and has published
In a number of papers the following
news for the especial benefit of those
who detest to chase the elusive potato
bug: "If a soup bean OF two Is
dropped into each hill Of potatoes
when they are planted the potato bug
will not bother them. and besides your
crop Of potatoes you will get one Of
beans as we'll. There Is one farmer
who has tried this experiment for FIVE
years and has never been bothered
with bugs while his neighbors lost
their crops. The bugs don't like the
smell of the beans for some reason"
