Eatonic is the modern remedy for
acid stomach, blOating, food repeating

In addition, the commission
recommends a shifting of tasks and
a general reorganization of the
state government which is expected
TO reduce the pay bill at the state
capitol $4,000 where it would
normally be boosted that much by
a single legislature.
The governors office is first
considered, and recommendation
made that the expenses of the Of

plated by the regular appropriation
of 1919. which would check the
use of council of defence funds.

For the entire state administra-
tion, the short ballot is recon-
mended. The first suggestion is
that only a governor and lieuten-
ant governor be elected, but there
is an alternative proposal that also
the auditor be elected. The latter
plan would seem, on first glance,
to be the more reasonable, since the
governor, under any other system,
would he appointing an auditor to
check UP his own administration.
IT would seem best to prepare
against this by having the auditor
directly responsible TO. the people
and not the political creation OF
the man whose subordinates he
checks.
For all officers, a four-year term
is recommended with the further
stipulation that elections be held in
non presidential years. There
would be no limitation on the num-
her of consecutive terms an Of

The secretary of state, who

SOME OF THE CADETS
WERE BRUTALLY SLAIN

London, Nov 20 (by the Asso-
ciated Press, ,)-Dispatches relat-
ing to the killing of fifteen auxil-
iary police cadets near kilmichael,
were read in the house of commons
by Sir Hamar Greenwood chief
secretary of Ireland, during the
Irish debate today.
The party which ambushed the
cadets consisted of from eighty to
100 men, all dressed in khaki and
wearing steel trench helmets They
fired from both sides of the road
on the lorries and also directed an
enfilading fire.
BY force of arms, some of the
cadets had been disarmed and bru-
tally murdered; their bodies were
rifled of all money and valuables
and even money and clothing was
taken from the corpses. Arms and
ammunition also were taken and
the lorries burned.
The secretary thought that, with
fifteen former officers of the late
war thus lying dead, the house
would not wish to continue the dis
cussion. He termed the affair a
challenge to parliament and civili-
zation.
The subject then was dropped.
