Indigestion is seldom cured by "help

Chronic stomach trouble and constipa-

course of the department of justice
as to future action against radicals
will not be determined until Attorney
General Palmer has had an opportun-

In making this statement, Assistant
Attorney General. Garvin declared
that because of the ruling the case of
the department of justice falls flat
and there is nothing more it can do
in apprehending persons such as con-

from the Communist labor party's
platform indicated an extremely rad
