holiday feasting to the residents Of
the. East Side The firm of Joseph

will be placed on sale today.
year ago Apacella received sew
eral consignments, totaling about
$4,000 pounds, which was sold at an
average price of 80 cents. The fine
quality of the meat and the low price
appealed to many people, although,
according to Apacella. the principal
purchasers were Japanese, to whom
whale meat represented a staple food
and not n novelty.
The cold weather of last week re-
suited IN increased poultry prices
The low temperature delayed ship
ments and has caused a shortage of
fancy grades of turkey, geese and

say it's rheumatism that Is ailing them.
Others complain Of chronic stomach or liver
trouble Others are bilious Life is burden
70 multitudes of dyspeptics. Severe headache,
extreme nervousness, insomnia, mental de-
preston, melancholia, anemia, dizziness YER

In about nifre cases out Of ten ACID
STOMACH Is the cause Of these ailments.
The first symptoms Of this condition are nearly
always Indigestion, heartburn, belching, food
repeating, painful bloat, gas, etc
An Aeid-Stomach cannot properly digest
food. Unless food is fully digested its nourish-
ing elements cannot be properly assimlated
Hence the blood becomes thin and impover-

No person, no matter how strong or robust

Gdious, day-by day health undermining effects
Of Acid-Stomach. Even the tasteless acid that
causes scid-mouth is powerful enough to eat
through the hard enamel Of the teeth and

Senator Hitchcock said that he in
tends TO devote all the time of the
holiday recess in talking compro-
mise with twenty-five or thirty Re-
publican Senators who may be willing
to agree to notifications OF the Lodge
reservations" He said:
II intend to deal entirely with in

take to bring them together into
conference. My opinion Is that the
important thing to 90 IS to find out
the desires Of the Senators who want
the treaty ratified. l have talked with
most Of them during the past two
weeks and found a very afreeable
spirit among them: there seems to
be q pronounced willingness to get
together"
Senator Hitchcock was asked
whether he held to the same view of
the Presidents position as Baruch
reported to the "mild reservationists,"
ma that. the President would
a to no compromise whatever,
and would accept only the unreserved
ratification of the treaty.
DeAnes Wilson'S Position.
Senator Hitchcock said:
Il think the President made his po-
sition very clear. He has not at any
time said he would not accept any
particular form of compromise. His
position Is that the treaty Is in the
Senate and that IL is for the Senate
- act either by ratifying without res
srvations OF with such reservations
as will command the votes Of two
thirds of the members"
1t was pointed out that this expo
Htion of the Presidents attitude was
directly in conflict with Baruch's in
terr-"'e tion- but Senator Hitchcock
maintained that he believed he had
the correct view of the Presidents
mind on the compromise question.
Asked whether he planned to see
the President during the recess, Sem
ator Hitchcock said he did not, but
would spend most of his timc con-
sulting with Republican Senators.
Senator Hitchcock closed the inter-
view by saying that the outlook for
