UNSP0ILED BY HIGH HONOR
Officers and Men Alike Recognize in
General Pershing Qualities That
Compel Their Affection.

"Why do we swear by Pershing?"
countered a staff officer in Washington
one day in response to question.
"Well, guess it's because he's the
real thing-a regular American, if you
know what I mean.
"You can easily figure out the sort
of man he is by the stories they tell
of him. was with him when he was
on his way to Washington to receive
his orders for France. On the way,
we passed through the town in which
he lived when he was boy. On the
station platform was the same old ne
gro porter Pershing had thrown stones
at in his boyhood. The general chatted
with the old man. Afterward I asked
the porter what happened. He said:
"'He done wanted ter know all bout
the folks he uster know, an when he
was gettin' on the car again he picked
up pebble as big as my thumb an
hove it at me, jes' like he ulster when
he was an ornery kid"

An acid-stomach cannot digest food
properly. Instead, the food sours and
ferments and, passing into the intes-
tines, becomes a, breeding place for
countless millions of deadly germs
toxic poisons they are called. These
poisons are absorbed into the system
and cause untold misery. SO, you see,
it is just acid-stOmach, nothing else
that makes so many people weak, list
less and unfit; saps their strength and
energy; robs them Of their vigor and
vitality. Biliousness, bad liver, nerv-
BUSINESS, binding, splitting headaches,
rheumatism, lumbago, sciatica-these
and many other still more serious all
ments often are traced to the COM
mon source-an acid-StOmach.
Take EATONIC and get rid quickly
of the pains of indigestion, heartburn,
that horrible, lumpy, bloated feeling
after eating; disgusting, belching,
food-repeating; sour, gassy stomach.
These stomach miseries are caused by
what doctors call "Hyperacidity." It's
Just ACID-STOMACH. And in ad-
dition to the pains and miseries it
causes, ACID-STOMACH is the start
er of a long train of ailments that

Paris, May 6.-The peace treaty for
mulated by the allied and associated
powers is to be handed to the German
delegates at Versailles Wednesday,
Signor Orlando, Italian premier, and
his foreign minister, Baron SonnlnO,
have returned to Paris from Rome,
where they have been since they quit
the peace conference, and there now
seems to be good basis for belief that
the differences between Italy and the
United States, Great Britain and
France will be settled. With the Ital-
ian question settled, almost complete
unanimity of sentiment would prevail
in the peace conference. The ObStable
represented by the protests of the Bel
gians has been surmOunted by the Bel
gium crown council having decided
unanimously to sign the treaty, it hav-
ing been pointed out by the head Of
the Belgian delegation that the dOcu-
ment gave honorable and satisfactory
terms to Belgium.

China's protest against the award
of KiaO Chau to Japan and number
of smaller items are yet under dis
cussiOn.
The policy of Japan is to return the
Shantung peninsula in full sovereignty
to China, retaining only the economic
privileges granted Germany and the
right to establish a settlement under
the usual conditions at Tsing-TaO, it
was declared in a statement issued to-
day by Baron Maxine, head of the jap
anese delegation at the peace confer
ence, in explanation of Japan's posi-
tion on the Shantung question.
Regarding the railway which is to
become a ChinO-Japanese joint under
taking, Baron Maxine said the owners
would use special police only to insure
the security of traffic. The force
would be composed of Chinese. Such
Japanese instructors as the railway
directors should select would be ap-
pointed by the Chinese government.

Out of Order.

The village was all agog. Flossie
Flatfeet was marrying William Giles.
The church was crowded. Flossie,

bore up until the plain band ring was
safely on her finger, and then, over

The villagers were touched, but not
anxious. All girls cry at weddings. =
Then suddenly William Giles screwed
up his face and broke into howls.
Tears poured down his face and
dripped off his whiskerS.
