organs and tissues of the body. The blood Is

Ailments of many kinds spring from such
conditions. Biliousness. rheumatism. lum-
bago. sciatica, general weakness. loss of
power and energy, headache. Insomnia,
nervousness mental depression-even more
serious ailments such as catarrh and cancer
of the stomach. intestinal ulcers. cirrhosis
of>the liver, heart troubie-all OF these can
often be traced directly to acid stomach

UNDESIRABLE ALIENS.

Henry FOrd's Dearborn Independent :
Congress has lifted up its wand of
power, and passed a law which will
bar out motley mob of inimical
aliens, waiting in every port in Eu-
rope to descend upon this country
Bolshevists and anarchists, free-lovers
and fanatics, half-brained agitators,
unable to be heard in the din OF indus
try in reconstructed Europe, have been
looking to America as land of gulls
and gold.
1t is well enough to shut from our
ports anyone who may contaminate
these ports or this soil. And it is wise
to be suspicious that our late enemies
would rejoice to thrust upon us hun
dreds of men and women who would
work to distract and divide our people
and in some way wreck both our pros,
perity and our peace
But-while we are shutting out in
carnate undesirableness from the door
let us also be sure we are not cultiyat-
ing undesirableness in the sitting room
We should be sure we are not cultivat-
ing it in Ours.hearts or in our shops or
in our churches.
The unwashed alien who comes ia
us with pictures OF Bolshevik looters
worn next to his maddened heart. is an
alien indeed. He is strange and hos
tile to our institutions and our liberties
But the man of American birth, OF
American wealth. who so treats his
foreign employees that they regard all
employers as enemies-that employer is
also alien, even though he is native
born. The politician who corrupts Our
government at its fountain, the bust

Private consumers who are short of
coal have no ground to complain of
those who laid in supply last sum
mer. Everybody was urged to do that
as patriotic duty, as it was feared
there might be shortage during the
winter. Yet some are calling those
who responded to the appeal to lay in
their winters supply early as "hoard-
ers,' 'grabbers,' etc. They ARE moth
ing of the kind. They bought coal in
many instances in order to help those
who could not buy early, realizing that
it would be easier for those needing it
If the winter demand could be reduced
by early buying. 1t is not fair to con-
denim anybody for laying in supply
when it could be easily secured. In
years to come the policy of laying In
fuel in the summer for winter use will
be more universally observed, as it
should be.

THE TREATY DEFEATED.

The country was surprised yesterday
morning to read the announcement
that the peace treaty had been defeat
ed. 1t was generally expected that
some sort of compromise would be
effected whereby the good points of
the treaty and the League of Nations
covenant would be saved. But it
seems that no compromise of that ma
ture was possible.
AS might be expected, republican
and democratic leaders are trying to
fasten the responsibility for defeat up
on the opposition, the republicans in
sisting that if the democrats would
have consented to even mild reserva
| tions, the important parts of tie '!ocu-
ment could have been preserved. the
democrats retorting by saying chat the
reservations were Of such nature that
the heart was cut out OF the treaty
and the league covenant.
The Freeman-J Ournal regrets that
the senate was unable to come to sine
reasonable agreement and that the
League of Nations principle seems to
be buried without much hope of its
resurrection for. at least many months.
large majority of the people had
thought during the long debate that
the treaty would finally be ratified,
with or without reservations, and we
believe that the majority sincerely
hoped that it might be.
Upon the eve Of adjournment, Sena-
tor Lodge introduced resolution de-
claring with the concurrence Of the
house, that the war with Germany is
at an end. No vote was reached upon
this resolution. 1t will probably come
up for consideration early in the SEES
sion that cOnvenes the fore part of
next month. In the meantime the
country will indulge in lot of dis
|cussion and there will be various kinds
|of opinions expressed. Each side will
|claim it has the majority with it and
each will appear anxious to go before
the country upon the issues involved.
For itself the Freeman-Journal can
say that it favored the reservation de-
claring that in the event of a desire
|Of country to withdraw from the
league after two years. such country
should be it's own judge as to whether
or not the requirements demanding that

Some of the trade journals of the

of employers going on Il strike in order
to relieve the situation. The plan
would be for number Of the employ

they define it, they include in this
class subordinates who work in offices,
banks, stores and in all places where
rough manual labor is not required
Their task is largely clerical. Also
teachers and college professors would
be included. These callings used to
have certain glamor of respectability.
They did not call for much dirty work,
consequently such workers could dress
with little more style than the
mechanic.
This class OF people have suffered
severely under the advancing prices.
Their wages have not risen anywhere
near as much as the manual laborers.
What is wrong with the position Of this
highly useful and necessary class?
One reason is that there has been
too much desire of young fellows to
enter this class of workers. The sup.
ply has exceeded the demand. The
great majority of these positions could
be taken by young women who have
no families to support. There is not
much future for the fellow of average
ability in mere routine Office work. II
he is country boy he would do far
better to stay on farm. Ii he is a
city OF lOWH DOy, ue WOutu pe DeLtel
off to learn some productive trade.
Young fellows should not be afraid OF
getting their hands dirty. The world
will pay higher price than ever be-
fore for the necessary rough and coarse
tasks of civilization.
Teachers and college professors con-
stitIte an exceptional class. Their
work is of the most vital necessity, and
should be amply paid, to attract high
class of thinking men and women. But
the time has gone by when an ambiti-
Gus boy can see any hope in career
of adding up figures or selling ribbons
and dress goods over the counter.

Whether prohibition has or has not
increased the use of coffee, it is atleast
a fact that tire people of the United
States are now consuming more coffee
than has been their custom and paying
far greater sums for it than ever be-
fore. A statement by The National
City Bank Of New York shows that the
quantity Of coffee brought into the
United States in the calendar year 1919
will probably be greater than ever be-
fore, notwithstanding the cost is about
twice as much per pound as formerly.
