One of the worst features of acid
stomach is thatvery often it literally
starves its victims in the midst Of
plenty. And the strange thing
about it 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, normal digestion, the excess
acid causes the food to sour and fer
ment. Then when this mass Of sour,
fermented food, charged with excess
acid, passes into the intestines, it be-
comes 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 it 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 nour-
ishrnent out of their food. And it
doesn't take long for this poor nour-
ishment to show its i'll effects in a
weakened, emaciated body.
Youmay 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
al kinds of aches and pains-head-
aches, rheumatic twinges, govt, lum-
bago, pains around the heart and in
the chest-who never dream that an

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 quick,
easy way to do this. A wonderful
new remedy quickly removes the
excess acid without the slightest dis
comfort. 1t is EATONIC. Made in
the form of tablets-they are good
to eat-just like a 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
feelitwork. Make testof EATONIC
in your own case today. Get a big
box of EATONIC from your druggist.
See for yourself how surely it brings
quick relief IN those painful attacks
ofindigestion, bitter heartburn, belch-
ing, 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 whas
you like and digest your food in CON-
fort without fear Of distressing
after effects.
IfEATONIC does notrelieve you, it
will not cost you one penny. You can
return it to your druggist and get
your money back. So if you have the
slightest question about your health
If you feel you are rot 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
EATONIC a fair trial this very day
and see how much betteryou will feel.

PAINT PROTECTION
AND ITS ECONOMY

The preservation Of structural ma
terials, which may be obtained through
the application Of paint, constitutes
most vital means Of furthering the con-
servation of our natural resources. 1t
is, moreover, the most economical
method of sustaining the appearance
and general upkeep Of any commu-
nifty. -
A structure coated with sheets of In.
dia rubber would not be as we'll protect
ed from decay as structure coated
with good oil paint. This Is due to
the fact that sheet of rubber Is not
SO durable or as waterproof as thin
dried Aim Of paint. The latter mate
rial when applied dries to continuous
elastic film containing finely divided
particles Of metallic. wear resisting
pigments. A square foot of such
film upon a wooden surface costs less
than penny, yet It will beautify and
protect dollars worth of surface for
many years. This Is a low rate of In
surance.
Dwellings, barns, outbuildings, sheds,
posts, fences, stock enclosures, wagons,
implements, windmills and other struc-
lures, whether of wood, iron or cement,
should be preserved, through the use
Of paint, from rapid decay. High grade
paint may be used successfully for all
such purposes. Colored paints will be
found the most seviceable. the coloring
matter in the paint adding from two
to thrss years to the life Of tbs coating.

Moses Declares So
Senators jViN Refuse
To Ratify the League

BOSTON, March 13.-United States
Senator George II. Moses, of New
Hampshire, in two speeches here to-
night attacked the league of nations
as proposed by President Wilson and
said that tifty-three members of the
Senate would refuse to ratify the coali
tion so long as it menaced the. sover-
eighty of the United States.
Senator Moses said that the round
robin resolution signed by thirty-nine
Senators, who signtied their intention
to oppose league of nations in the
form now proposed would serve to con-
vince the Europeans at the peace con-
ference that "no individual, not even
the President, can alone voice the SEN
timents Of the people Of the United
States"
"Under our Senatorial oaths, our
consciences and our duty as Ameri-
cans" he added, eve do not intend to
see the inaienable rights of our coun-
trymen given away for the privilege of
dipping our hands in the foul pool Of
EuroDean politics."
New-York tribune., 1919-03-14

have been giving the subject deep con-
sideration in its possible bearing upon
the future military systems not only
Of America, but of the whole world.
They are inclined to believe that this
is q subject that might properly come
before the league Of nations in con-
necton with the limitations of arma-
ments.
The American experts agree with the
sentiment attributed to Mr.. Lloyd
George TINT if the system started in
Germany proved beneficial, it's ex-
tension to the other European countries
would be inevitable, as they consider
it certain that the labor, Socialstc
and anti militaristic parties will de-
mand to be relieved of the burden of
conscription and free the young man
hood of the nations for full participa-
tion in fair competition for the worlds
trade.
Attention has been given by the
American experts to the possible result
of the adoption of the German non
conscription plan in the United States
upon the projected system for uni
versal military training Of the youth
of America, and the opinion is general
among the American experts that it
would deprive the plan completely of
compulsory features, leaving training
in schools optional. They consider
however, that the National Guard, per-
petuated by Congress, could be relied
upon for sufficient number of trained
soldiers to form the nucleus of any
army likely to be required in America
in case of the successful working of
league of nations

Salvation Army Reopens
Booth Memorial HOSPITAL

The Salvation Army was host vester-
day afternoon at the reopening exer-
cises of Booth Memorial Hospital. for
mer Rescue Home, at 314 East Fif-
teenth Street. The institution, which
during the war was used to help the
Red Cross care for the families of
men in service, has been remodelled d
and will operate now in dual capaci-
ty as home and hospital under the
auspices of the Salvation Army and
the American Red Cross.
More than 500 persons crowded in
during the afternoon to examine the
three houses which have been formed
into one structure. At one side of
the house are the Rescue Home quar-
ters under the supervision of Lieu
tenant Colonel Emma J. Brown, of
the Salvation Army. The Red Cross
will direct the hospital side of the
house, which has been fully equippe d
with medical apparatus. 1t is in
tended for maternity cases which can
not pay the expenses Of the regular
hospitals, but which do not want to
be sent to the charity homes.

As Lloyd George ict0r,

LONDON, March 13.-In discussing
events at the peace conference in
Paris "The Chronicle" says:
"There is no doubt that Premier
Lloyd George scored verS important
point in gaining the assent of his col
leagues on the Council of Ten to the
principle that conscription shall be
abolished in Germany. The plan
adopted will enable the powers on
whose shoulders the chief responsi-
bility for maintaining the league Of
nations will rest to bear that burden
with a much smaller military effort
than would otherwise be needed.
''There will be no risk of perpet-
uating conscription In Great Britain
and the United States, and we cannot
suppose that France and Italy having
regard for their economic situation,
will care to cumber themselves indeti-
nitely with it. The disarmament of
Germany, being compulsory, will have
TO be watched and enforced for many
years by travelling commissions of
the league of nations, with the leagues
force behind them"
THE abolition of compulsory service
is the greatest practical step yet taken
toward the encouragement of war;"
says 1.-THE Daily Maii." "There is
one vital provision for the safety of
the Allies that must accompany the
abolition of conscription, however.
This is the complete and effective dis
armament of Germany"

ATLANTA, Ga, March 13.- Champ
Clark, Speaker of the House of Rep

financial and commercial sections of
the treaty will contain important reg
ulations of enemy trade and that ship
ping will be resumed under certain
reservations.
Answering an inquiry whether the
Germans would be permitted to come
to Paris to siglf the peace treaty, Cap
tain Tardieu said it was not certain
that the Germans would be summoned
TO Paris-that the conference had not
decided this point.
Responding to an inquiry whether it
is impossible that the peace treaty. will
be signed by March 90, Captain Tar
dieu said he believed such contin-
gency quite impossible, although he
expected great progress to be made
within the next week. Four treaties
will be necessary, one each with Ger
many, Austria, Turkey and Bulgaria,
Captain Tardieu explained, and these,
he said, probably would not be signed
together The treaty with Germany,
being the most important. would be
signed first. The others will be drawn
along the similar lines and will place
n limitation of ornaments upon the
Central Powers. But there was less
hurry about framing these, Captain

Nations Plan Is Under
Way. KI0tz Announce.

PARIS, March 13.-Plans for the
formation of financial society of ma

to statement made to-day in the
Chamber of Deputies by Louis Klotz,
French Minister of Finance. Mr.
the body would be made soon. Such a
society, he said, would provide the
only means for France to balance fu-
ture budgets. He also spoke of addi-
tlonal taxes after Germany's war in
demnity has been deducted from the
present French debt
Mr.. Klotz gave some striking figures
or war expenditures to-day in the
Chamber of Deputies. He said that
more than 3o,000,000,000 francs (S7,-
oOOO00,000) was spent for artillery
and 1000, 100000 francs ($2,200,OO0,-
o0o) for the pay of the troops. The
War were 100000 100000 francs, (S23.-
800000,000), while the Navy Depart
ment spent only 6,O00,O0O,OOO (S1,2OO,-
O00000).
The yearly budget, M. Klotz an
nounced, would be three or four times
greater than before the war, the def
icit being 750.0000O0 francs ($4,-
350O00,00O).
M. Klotz did not heed numerous in
terpellatlonS from all sides of the
Chamber asking him to name the
amount which would be demanded from
Germany. Victor Dalbiez, Radical So
cialist, created some excitement by
shouting Long Live Caillaux," refer
ring to former Premier Joseph Gail
laux, who is under arrest charged with
having had dealings with the enemy.
The Chamber was filled with officers
and soldiers, who loudly Missed Dal-
biez. One officer shook his fist at the

duel.
France spent $4,000, 100000 francs

Germany Reports 723
Steamers Ready To Be
Surrendered to Allies

BERLIN, March IL (By The Associ-

German harbors. the disposition of
which will be decided at an early date
at the food and shipping conference
at Brussels, consists, according to Ger
man figures, of 1923 steamers, of 1885,
700 gross tons and 1876 sailing vessels
of $4,000 tons. The sailing craft and
some of the smaller steamers will. how
ever, be left by the Entente to Germany
for the coastal traffic.
Steamer figures include those finish
ed during the war, but not the unfin-
ishcd steamers, which the Germans
continue to insist cannot be demanded
under the armistice.
The fate of German steamers in neu-
trail ports is not absolutely known. al
though many of them probably have
been seized. German information re-
garding the action of the neutra! gov
ernments is incomplete.
The total tonnage that may be sur
rendered to the Entente is approxi-
mately 2,250,000 gross.
