Calling for Credentials

z ENATOR SHERMAN, Of Illinois has treat
~ ed the country to another senatorial
phenomenon He has given a further exhi-
btion Of the amazing and the amusing work
lngs OF statesmans mind He has perpe-
trated his second assault upon the President,
The peace conference, the league of nations
and the forces which seek TO reduce the
United States to The status Of dependent
colony.
4 short time ago this gentleman from
Illinois gave warning TO the world that if
the league OF nations should be established
ii would be dominated by the Pope in Rome
This country and all other Protestant nations
he alleged. would be ruled by ar ecclesiasti-
cal hierarchy. and Catholicism would be re-
stored to temporal power from end 10 end
OF Chrisendom.
Now the Senator has come forward with
an equally startling proposition. He declares
that super-state will be created which will
destroy the sovereignty OF every government
that unites with it. and he challenges the
right of the President even TO propose such
consummation. In "A resolution which he
has offered the Senator after citing the fact
that the league is a criminal conspiracy TO
rob the United States of its hirthrich, as n
nation, calls on MIR. Wilson to show bv what
authority he has acted as spokesman for
the United States in the peace conference
He wants to know by what right the Presi-
dent has presumed To deal with the enemy
with the representatives of other govern
ments and by what right he has negotiated
a treaty OF peace
In other words, Senator Sherman demands
that the President produce his credentials He
seems to question the prerogative Of a Presi-
dent to make treaties, to conduct the foreign
affairs of the government. or to fix the inter
national policies Of the United States He
certainly questions the right Of that official 10
participate in the drafting of league of
nations constitution. and he resents the idea
that Mr.. Wilson should intimate TO any other
government that this country Will subscribe
TO such league.
If the Senate should pass such ludlcrous
measure-which OF course. II will NOT do
the President would give a fitting answer hv
sending TO the Capitol certified copy Of
the returns by which he was elected prcsi
dent in 1915. and inclose in the packaco ,
copy of the Constitution Of the l'nitod St.,os
marking the passages in thar Instrument,
which empower him to negotiate treaties al,
this might be enlighten to senator
sherman.

STOMACH TROUBLES
ARE DUE TO ACIDITY
Tells Sale, Certain, Speedy Relief for
Acid Indigestion

So called stomach troubles, such as
indigestion. gas, sourness, stomach ache
and inability to retain food are in
probably nine cases out Of ten, simply
evidence that excessive secretion of
acid is taking place in the stomach,
causing the formation of gas and acid
indigestion.
Gas distends the stomach and causes
that full, oppressive, burning feeling
sometimes known as heartburn, while
the acid initiates and inflames the del
icatc lining Of the stomach. The trou-
BILE lies entirely in the excess develop
ment or secretion Of acid.
To stop or prevent this s%ouring of
the food contents of the stomach and
to ncutralize the acid, and MAKE 1t
bland and harmless, a %teaspoonful of
hisurated %magnesia. a good and effect
i've corrector of acid stomach, should
be taken in a quarter of a glass of hot
or cold water after eating or whenever
gas, sourness or acidity is felt. This
sweetens the stomach and neutralizes
the acidity in a few moments and is a
perfectly harmless and inexpensive
remedy to use.
An antiacid, such as bisurated mag
nesia which can be obtained from any
druggist in either powder or tablet
form enables the stomach to do its
work properly without the aid of arti-
fetal digestents. Magnesia comes in
several forms, so be certain TO ask
for and take only Bisurated Magne-
STA, which is especially prepared for
the above purpose.

especially desirable.

want them as a desirable investment
and those who want them from patri-
otic motives, will find the bonds at
any Of the city banks. Payments on
the subscription extend from the day
the subscription is taken out with a
first payment of 10 per cent, until the
final payment of 20 per cent on No
vember IL. You may buy a $50 bond,
or a 800 one or a $500 bond. After
$500, the issues are in $1,000 bonds or

Book Agents With Hard
Luck Stories And Pretty
Volumes Appear Here

Right here in Salem. hook agents arc
sprouting up like young onions. With
in the past week or SO, the agent has
been abroad in the land and soliciting
from house to house and working on the
sympathies of the good housekeeper.
Just a few days ago there appeared
in Salem one with an air of piety and
an orphan 10 be provided for. The or.
phan was to be given an encyclopedia
and all that was necessary was Tor a
person prominent in educational circles
Of the state to sign a nice little endorse
ment of the works. Also to accept a
set free, but to pay for about $50 worth
of inserts as they might be issued from
time to time.
Other agents have been working Sa-
lem, selling a set of books on Bible stor-
les, five volumes, for the small sum
of $29.75, or Whereabouts, according to
the prospective customer. Sometimes
these agents have recommendations
from church people who are really but
informed on the actual value of
the set. In such expensive sets the ac-
tual value is possibly one.fourtn of that
asked. But il sometimes happens that
a desire to please a child and tne church
recommendations overcome financial
considerations and the sale is made with
the good housekeeper paying a nice
monthly installment for several months.
Recently an encyclopedia was sold in
for 1880, mostly attractive
binding, for which the publishers price
was only 50 the set.
One interested in books and educa.
tion and also interested in having peo-
pie spend their money iudiciously for
good books, put the situation this way;
The problem is, why will a woman econ
omize, even to the extent Of using a rag
to stop a hole in a wash boiler because
doesn't care to spend % cents to
