 Wagon roads should be built at once from points on the government railroad to open up the mining country. These roads are easy to construct. if the work is concen- trated in one single department or bureau of the government.

RUSSIANS FACE
 FOOD CRISIS N
 EXTREME NORTH

MECHANICALLY trawler loaded with American food has just poked it's way through the dangerous, reef dotted waters of the White Sea along the shores of the Kola Pen insula and brought relief to the inhabitants who were, in many in stances, actually starving. In one village the residents had had no sugar for two years.
 The trawler, in charge of Captain D. O. Lively, of San Francisco, an officer in the American Red Cross, has returned to Archangel, after an adventurous cruise.
 "The people living in the villages along the shores of the peninsula are Russians, of a blonde, prob ably ancient Scandinavian type," Captain Lively told the correspond ent of the Associated Press. "They live in almost perfect communal state, but there is no Bolshevism among them. Altogether, there are about six thousand inhabitants in the port of the peninsula, mostly living in the villages of Umba, Kuzoman, Tetrani, Tchapana and Ponoi. To the north of them are the Laplanders, but these people are of pure European type and we saw among them many beauti- full women.
 ''We left them enough food to last them throughout the winter. At Tetran there had been no ship in two years. They had eaten the last food of any sort except fish two weeks before our supplies reached them. Some of the men were too weak to carry small sack of bar ley

RETURNING YANKEES

LIVERPOOL, Eng. - American soldiers ordered home since the sign ing of the armistice are not leaving England without funds. Most of them have some money, and some of them have considerable amounts.
 One Red Cross officer who has been here from London changing the money of the soldiers from pounds to dollars, in order that they may have the currency of their money when they reach America, says:
 T have changed the money of some thousands of men and not one of them had less than two months pay to take home with him. Some of them had as much as $100, while here and there was an es- pecially thrifty fellow with $i25.

A TIME TO BE WATCHFUL

l he allleu nations anu tHc oHiCe" States will presently, through the medium of authorized and qualified representatives be employed in the delicate task of formulating terms of peace, says the Christian Science Monitor, in an editorial written shortly before the assembling of the peace delegates at Paris. Never in the past have the conditions presented to congress of nations, following an armisticc, or at the conclusion of great war, been similar to those which must be dealt with in Paris.
 From time immemorial, read iustments necessitated by the out come of military clashes between major or minor powers have been determined, in the main, with re- gard to the demands of the victors, modified by the insistence of in terested neutrals upon adequate protection and consideration. The familiar cartoon, showing the de- feated nation in the form of turkey on platter in the center of table surrounded by figures representing the other nations, each earnestly and eagerly observing the process of carving, task usually committed to the representative deemed the most trustworthy by his associates, told, if in rather too frank a fashion, the story of war settlements in former years.
 Unless there shall be a complete departure from the ideals expressed and the plans agreed upon, which is something hardly imaginable. the whole system of procedure in the pending conference will be con trary to rule and tradition. Those who are to exercise control over the scope and method of adjust ment will, it is expected. be moved quite as much by world as by na- tional interests Justice, the world has repeatedly been assured, not from one quarter but from all, is to be made the standard of meas urement in dealing with all pro posals. or the first time in history the welfare of humanity is to take precedence of national advantage ,. The fulfillment of the promise held forth by League of Nations is not something to be anticipated with pleasure or accepted without struggle by those who still be, lieve in the law of might. Then interpretation of liberty is free . dom to intimidate, overawe, and enslave their weaker neighbors They are unbelievers in democracy cynical as to the equities, scoffers at the idea of single standard o1 morality and justice. They are striving to undermine popular con. fidence in the sincerity of the ac, credited peacemakers, They vii fail, of course, but their failure vii not come about automatically, anC their operations should be frus trated in the incipient stage. Al that part of the world which has confidence in the Allies and the United States should, from today give pr;, ti.al effect to this con. fidence.

ed and food sours, causing the dis
agreeable symptoms which every
stomach sufferer knows so well.
Artificial digestents are not needed
in such cases and may do real harm.
Try laying aside all digestive aids
and instead get from any druggist a
few ounces of Bisurated Magnesia
and take teaspoonful in a quarter
glass of water right after
eating. This sweetens the stom-
ach, prevents the formation Of
excess acid and there is no sourness.
