The practice Of hurried eating will
surely cause stomach trouble and
eventually a general debility. The

it Is necessary to rebuild the blood

stomach cannot function efficiently.

with proper diet and careful eating

rapid eating and month after month
my condition was growing worse.

The Wrong Way About 1t.

Mexico prosperous and under her
own dag while maintaining an atti-
tude of hostility and suspicion
toward her big neighbor on the north
is not conceivable. That she Is not
prospering and that she is filled with
hostile spirit toward the United
States are disquieting features which
may not be overlooked II we wished.
Throuehout the war. and since,
Mexico has been breeding place OF
trouble, of pro-Germanism, Of boil
shevism, Of corruption. That GER
tain interests in the United States
appear to have encouraged this only
assravates Mexico's capacity as
trouble maker. a miasmatic swamp
at our back door, place that may be
made wholesome only by a thorough
cleaning up. To this Job Mexico
herself has not shown as yet mucn
inclination. Nor does it appear that
her representatives to this country.
such as Consul General De Nesri OF
New York. implicated in spreading
bo!shevism under cover Of his ofnctaI
protection. are calculated to assist IN
any solution creditable to Mexico.
Indeed, should 1t appear that our
consul, Mr. jenkins, was a party 10

his employer, it would seem we also
were remiss in the kind Of men Sc
lected to represent this country IN

luton to do it once We find out just
what it is.

Mr.. PopoH and Others.

If you Russians like better things
Russian than American, then go
back and stay in Russia. and every
body will be contented." This ad-
mirable advice appears in a COM
munication to the New York Times
by a man claiming to be Russian by
birth but a natUralized American
citizen for many years. He signs his
communication Peter J. Popoff."
We feel like encouraging him to
Popoff again sometime. We like his
good sense. 1t contrasts refresh
ingly with the silly TRADE Of one
Martens. soviet ambassador extra
ordinary, in which he announces that
because of persecution. "unwar-
ranted and cruel treatment" the
Russian soviet government will pay
the transportation home of all Rus
sian citizens in the United States.
Included in this we do not expect to
find Mr.. Popof or any other Russian
who goes about his living in decent
and orderly manner. 1t is time
Lenine recalled his tools. Consider
ing the mischief they already have
done they will do we'll for themselves,
indeed. if they succeed il making

A Labor Party.

Talk Of labor party was to be ex-
pected after the failure Of the direct
action" methods employed in the steel
and coal strikes to gain control of
the government. The direct action
lists miscalculated the opposition to
their plans and in consequence the
plans went awry. The United States
is not yet ready for a revolution Of
the Russian soviet type. The labor
leaders must go about it more subtly
if they wish to handle the reins of
government.
Hence the labor party project
This is the proper method. and if it
can be made to work. those who are
dissatisfied with the existing princi-
pies and practice of American gov
eminent may attain their object.
The idea seems to have originated
with John Fitzpatrick Of the Chicago
federation of labor. He proposes to
IS6SA anu 0CIhOiASt III 81 Wv AShAN
cratic paper( perhaps because it is
already languishing and he wants to
be kind enough to put it out of its
misery. and then he intends to I'm
ish Oh the Republicans. When these
two things are done there will re-
main a party which. he says. will
command the support mot only of
union men and women, but of farm
ers. clerks-every working man and
woman"
The outlook for the labor party's
asc.ndency in 1920 does not appear
altogether rosy. Glass distinctions
are out of harmony with American
traditions and principles. Recent
events in which labor has played the
leading part are not calculated to
popularize them. Mr.. John Fitz-
patrick is long way from the presi-
dental chair.

A Wise and Patriotic Action.
Bangor Commercially

The representatives Of the Ameri-
can Legion in convention at Min
neapolis demonstrated their patriot
ism in many ways. but perhaps most
signally in their attitude toward the
war bonus problem. Whatever action
the Legion might have recommended
in this connection would have been
backed by the millions Of service men
and would have been denied with
difficulty by any political party. But
with the trump card in their hands,
the Legion did not attempt coercion
but referred the matter to Congress
without any specific recommendation,
a wise and patriotic action.
