Japan entered the war because of a
treaty with Great Britain. concluded
in 1902. The original alliance pre-
coded the Russo-Japanese war. In
1905 the alliance was further extended
to provide for the defense of British
interests in India and Afghanistan
while England agreed to give Japan
a free hand in Korea. In 1911 it was
again modified by the agreement that
Great Britain should not be bound to
aid Japan against any power with

Starving in the
Midst Of Plenty
Acid-Stomach Steals Strength and
Good Feelings From Millions

One OF the worst features of acid
starves its victims In the midst of
plenty. And the strange thing about
1t is that the people with acid-stomachS
seldom know what their trouble
really is.
No matter how good or wholesome
the food may be, or how much they
eat, they do not gain In strength.
This is clearly explained by the fact
that an acid-stomach cannot properly
digest food. Instead of healthy nor
NAL digestion, the excess acid causes
the food to sour and ferment. Then
when this mass of sour, fermented
food, charged with excess acid, passes
into the intestines. it becomes the
breeding place for all kinds of germs
and toxic poisons. which in turn are
absorbed into the blood and in this
way distributed throughout the entire
body. And that is exactly why ii is
that so many thousands of people eat
and eat and keep on eating and yet
are literally starving in the midst of
plenty. Their acid-stomachs make it
absolutely impossible for them to get
the full measure of nourishment out
of their food. And it doesn't take
long for this poor nourishment to show
its i'll effects in a weakened. enact
ated body.
You may say: MY stomach doesn't
hurt me-" That may be true because
many victims of acid-stomach do not
actually suffer stomach pains. Then
again, there are millions Who do suffer
all kinds of aches and pa;ns-head-
aches, rheumatic twinges. govt. lum-
bago, pains around the heart and In
the chest-who never dream thar on
Wauwatosa news. [volume] (Wauwatosa, Wis.) 1900-1948, 1919-04-11

acid-stomach is the real cause OF the
trouble.
Naturally. the sensible thing to do
is to strike right at the very cause Of
this trouble and clean the excess acid
out of the stomach. There is a quick.
easy way to do this. A wonderful new
remedy quickly removes the excess
acid without the slightest discomfort
II Is EATONIC. Made in the form
of tablets-they are good TO eat-iust
like bit of candy. They literally
absorb the injurious excess acid and
carry it away through the intestines
They also drive the bloat out of the
body-in fact you can fairly feel it
work. Make test of EATONTC in
your own case today. Get big box
Of EAT0NIC from your druggist. See
for yourself how surely it brings quick
relief 10 those painful attacks of In
digestion. bitter heartburn, helching,
disgusting food repeating, that awful
bloated lumpy feeling after eating and
other stomach miseries. Danish all
your stomach troubles so completely
that you forget you have a stomach.
Then you can eat what you like and
digest your food in comfort without
fear of distressing after effects.
If EATONIC does not relieve yOu
It will not cost you one penny. You
can return 1t to your druggist and get
your money back. So If you have the
slightest question about your health
If you feel you are not getting all
the strength out of your food-if you
are not feeling tip-top, ready for your
work. full of vim and vigor-do give
EAT0NIC fair trial this very day
and see how much better you viii feel.

Many Americans Are in France to Visit
 Grave of Loved Ones

Paris, Nov. 10.-The first hotel in France, reserved exclusively for tha American fathers and mothers who have crossed the ocean to visit the graves of their dead, will be opened at Romagne, where is located the lar gest American military cemetery in France. There sleeps more than 21,- 900 American boys who laid down their lives in the war
 Now that passport restrictions are being lifted, many American parents are coming to France every day to visit the graves of the American sol diers Some mothers come along, languages suffer many discomfefts finding the way to their boys grave. Many wish to remain day or two al the cemetery which are some dis tance from the nearest town; but un- til now there have been no accOmIuO- dations.
 Similar hotels VII be established later at other American cemeteries. The second one will probably be plac- ed at St. Quentin
 After Homage the next largest cemetery is the one at ThiaucoGft with 42OO graves. Among the other large American cemeteries are: Beau mont. 75O graves; Fismes 1900 graves ;, Ploiss, 1885 graves; Juvigny, 416 graves: Fera- a-enTardenois, ,',500 graves; Villiers-T -Tournelle, 400 graves.

 While there are some people that are a little skeptical on this line, but that is all because it is something new and different to what they have been yi,1 tn ,nly statement about putting Art Craft over old shingles:
 It is the intention of the company and the nature of the material to save the customers all that is possible, in good money on his roofing, and l wish to state furthermore this work that I am doing is not just for my profit alone, but for the good and benefit can be and to help the good people to know and realize that there is some thing that is a whole lot better and safer than shingles, and if the peo- pie will just give Art Craft as good chance as they have other roofing material within six months, why you will see it just like it is in many other cities. Nothing but Art Craft used in side of the Fire Limits and all over other places when desired.

Committee Adopt Resolut. ions Regarding the Work
 of the Y. M. C. A., Men

Considering that the resignation Of MT. w. c. Escott County Y. M c. A. ! Secretary for Little River county has been rendered and accepted, as spokes- men for the County Executive Con- mittee by appointment, we desire to express our appreciation of MT. Es- colt and his labors among us.
 For year MT. Escott has worked diligently and untiringly for the up- building and uplifting of the young men and boys of our county. In the County Y M c. A. work proper he introduced the work and organized the forces as our county was the first county in the state to have organized county work. He has organized boys groups in the high schools of tie coun- ty, carried delegates to the conference at Hope, and called and held an older boys county conference at Ashdown, last August, which resulted in great good.
 Through these conferences and by Mir. Escott's personal work the boys of our county have learned the prln- ciples of right living and clean speech and upright conduct. They have re- newed interest in their church work, and have caught a vision of what 1t means to live clean lives, and an am- bitioiY to be useful honorable men. The moral and social standard Of the boys has been elevated and their ideals edifed.
 Lasting and important as his Y. M. C A labors been, Mir. Escott has been useful public servant in addition to his regular duties He has given valu- able aid and help to returned soldiers in the way of securing employment, getting their bonus, arranging their in- surance, etc. Also has rendered val uable assistance to the relatives of soldiers in the matters Of securing discharges, insurance, allotments, etc. | Again. he has worked untiringly in and collaboration in the preparation of Historical Record of the Service of Soldiers from this county All | these last mentioned duties he has done cheerfully and without pay | These special war-service duties were beyond the scope of his regular en- ployment as County Y. M c, A. secre- tary.
 We can not place a value on MT Es- cott's work. He has sown good seed in good ground, which in due season, will yield many fold. He has laid the | foundation for a worth while task which we must carry on.
 In his daily walk he has been cheer ful, conscientious and optimistic. Our estimation of him is that he has the true Christ like spirit of going about doing good" and who loves his neigh bor as himself The true test of greatness may be applied to him. Let him that is greatest among you be the servant of all" We regret his resig- nation. We shall be pleased to have him reside as a citizen among us. Whether he goes or stays, we hold him in high esteem and confidence as d Christian gentleman whose labors with us will bear good fruit in the youth of our county and cleaner lives, better churches and better homes as the years come and go.
