TELLS DYSPEPTTCS
WHAT TO EAT
Avoid Indigestion, Sour Acid stomach,
Heartburn. Gas on stomach. Etc.

Indigestion and practically all forms Of
stomach trouble say medical authorities,
are due nine times out of ten 10 an eX-
cess OF hydrochloric acid in the stomach.
Chronic "acid stomach" is exceedingly
dangerous and sufferers should do either
one OF two things.
Either they can go on a limited and
often disagreeable diet, avoiding foods
that disagree with them, that irritate the
stomach and lead % excess acid secre-
ton or they can eat as they please IN rea-
son and make It a practice TO counteract
tine effect Of the harmful acid and pre-
vent the formation OF gas, sournsass or
premature fermentation by the use OF a
little Bisurated Magnesia at their meals.
There Is probably no better safer or
more reliable stomach antiacid than Bisu-
rated Magnesia and Il Is widely used FOR
this purpose. 10 has no direct action on
the stomach and IS not digestent But
n teaspOOnfnul OF the powder or a couple
OF Eve grain tablets taken in little
water with the food will neutralne the
excess acidity which may be present and
prevent its further formation. This re-
moves the whole cause Of the trouble and
the meal digests naturally and hcalth
fully without need Of pepsin pills or aru-
iicial digeslents.
Get Few ounces OF Bisurated Magnesia
from any reliable druggist. Ask for either
powder or tablets 10 never comes as a
liquid, milk or citrate and in the bisu-
rated form Is not a laxative. Try this
plan and eat what You want az your next
meal and zee II this isn't the best advice
you ever had on what to eat"

Incorporated into the Constitution.
What It meant when adopted it stiil
means for the purpose Of interpreta-
ilon. A Legislature was then the rep
resentatiNe body which made the laws
OF the people. The term Is often ustd
In the Constitution with this evident
meaning.
There can be no question that the
trainers OF theConstitution clearly
understood and carefully used the
terms in which that Instrument re.
fefrCd to the action Of the Legisla-
lures OF The States. When they in-
tended that direct action by tho peO-
ple should be had they were no less
accurate in the use OF apt phraseOlogy
TO carry out such purpose.
"rhe argument TO support the pow
er or the State 10 require the approval
OF the people Of the state OF the rati-
0caii0n Of amendments 10 the Federal
Constitution through the medium OF
a referendum rests upon the PROPOSE
tion that the Federal Constitution re-
quircs ratification by the legislative
action Of the Siaies through The
medium provided at The time OF the
proposed approval Of an amendment.
] This argument Is faliaciOus In this
| ratification by State OF a consti-
/ tulional amendment Is not an act OF
| legislation within the proper SENSE
/ OF the word. 10 Is but the expression
OF the assent of The Stale 10 pro-
| posed amendment
IT is true that the power 10 legis-
/ late in The enactment OF the laws
I OF a Stale is derived from the people
| OF the state. But the power TO ratils
a proposed amendment TO the fed
eral Constitution has its source ir
| the Federal Constitution. The act OF
| ratification by the Stales derives 10:
/ authority from the Federal C0nstltu'
tlOn 10 which the states and people
have alike assenicd. Any other view
| might lead 90 endless confusion ir
the manner Of raiincation OF Fed
eral amendments. The choice OF meant
OF ratification was wisely withheld
from conflicting acts In the seNera
states.
In attacking the referendum
amendment Mr.. Hawke alleged d
was The intent Of the trainers OF th'
Federal Constitution in prescribing
ratification to be by The "Legisla
lures" TO mean the general assem-
blies OF the States and not directly
bv the voters. He also cOntendci
that the power OF ratification va
derived from Federal and not stat
authority.
The Ohio Supreme Court reversel
the contentious. 10 held. further
that the amending OF the Consiitu
\ ton is a legislative function, and d
the exercises Of this function it wa
: contemplated that all agencies pro
Vlded by the State for legislatio
should be empowered TO act.
! seven other proceedings have bee
brought TO- prevent submission or IN
prohibition amendment TO a referer
dunn. The Washington Suprem
Court took virtually the same vie,
Of the question as did the ohl

Maine. Colorado. Arkansas Califol
MIA and Michigan held that foder

intended 10 provide an orderly man

Fifth Article. This article makes
provision for the proposal Of amend

houses OF Congress or on application
OF Legislatures Of twO-thirds Of the
States. The proposed change can only
become effective by the ratification

OF ratification is left 10 the choice OF

Additions to the Canon.

New York Times: One of the first
PRACTICAL benefits of federal prohibl-
ton enforcement seems likely to be
a recension of the scriptures accord
ing to modern theories of criticism.
Enforcement Commissioner John F.
Kramer, addressing the clergymen OF
New York yesterday, said that the
passions, appetites and desires OF
men made necessary the promulga-
ton of the ten commandments now
embodied in holy writ. Notwith-
standing the fact that the command
ments and our criminal laws inter
fere with mems appetites, passions
and desires, yet they still stand and
are obeyed by the great mass Of the
American people. So am sure 1t
will be with the federal prohibition
amendment and the laws enacted
hereunder"
+! 1t appears from this that the pro.
hibitfon amendment is the eleventh
commandment of equal authority
with the others. The addition is
welcome If belated. Indeed, one is
surprised at Mr.. Kramer's modera.
ton in demanding no more than
equal authority; had he wished he
might have followed the suggestion
made by correspondent ON this page
yesterday morning, and by going
over to Mohammedanism have found
ready for his use complete holy
scripture in' which prohibition is part
of the groundwork of the creed and
did not have to be written in as an
afterthought.

WHY POLITICIANS ARE GOOD, NOW.

Is it not fine to see all the politicians behav-
ing so beautifully this yeari How hard they
are trying to save something for the dear peo-
pie! They are making the gravel fly in the
forum of public discussion in the hope OF I'M
covering some tid-bit liberty, economy or some
sweet thing which has been covered under the
dust OF three years of personal ambition ana
self-seeking, and, like the dear old hen who also
works in gravel and dust, they will not take
what they ind-oh, no; they will just cluck and
cluck imperatively to their beloved public to
hasten to the enjoyment of the long buried gov
crnment delicacies which they have brought
again to the light.
There has, in times past, been some effort to
discover why the fathers of the republic decided
that the presidential election should always 1al
on a leap-year. 1t has been claimed, Tor IN
stance, that it was chosen because it would 50
forcibly suggest that those who governed US by
telling us what to believe and how to vote should
Jump out of their evil ways once in four years
to a higher plane Of motive and action. Strikes
us as rather indicate if not impossible, for,
even if he could, how slithery senator or rep
resentative would look leaping from legls-
Ilative 'pork barrel or an appropriation tank !:
Even their constituents would be ashamed OF
t1ienl-not only because of their looks but be-
cause they could no longer doubt where they
had been! Oh, no, the founders OF the republic
were too wise to reveal secrets OF government
in such an awkward way. Our idea is that they
knew very well how bad politicians must natur-
ally remain, and they would do the best they
could to save them by choosing all the longest
wears of the calendar during which they must
Ibe good.

The LARGEST Lake.

Christian Science Monitor: In
these days Of demand for increased
supplies Of wheat, how many people
know that one Of the most important
factors in producing the supply is
the largest body of fresh water in
existence? This lake contains no
fish, has no steamships floating on
its surface, and has never been seen.
for it is entirely underground. In
many localities the first 100 feet of
earth contains enough water to make
a lake area seventeen feet deep, or
about seven years rainfall BY capil-
larry attraction, or by long roots.
plants draw on this reservoir, reduc-
ing the level by only few inches.
which is restored during the rainy
season. The Importance OF conserv-
ing this supply of water is evident,
as the indiscriminate driving OF rail
road cuts, bitches and wells, through
the water bearing area, results in
draining the precious contents Of this
invaluable supply. So much is this
the case, indeed, that the states of
Minnesota, Iowa, Wisconsin. Michi
gan and the Dakotas have already
found serious reduction in the level
Of the underground water. due to
these causes, with consequent
diminution in the crop production.
and legislation is being enacted to
prevent this continuing

TIE LEGION SAVES SEATTLE

in four was not sufficiently inter
ested to go to the polls.
The Seattle situation is, there
fore, by no means what Ameri'
cans would wish it to be. Never
theless the loyalist candidate
won by a comfortable majority
of 10000, or by five votes to a
little more than three for his op-
ponent. The campaign, how
ever, shows the Importance OF
the patriotic leadership which ex-
service men, especially when or.
ganized in the American Legion,
can give to a demoralized COM
munity. The legion may be said
to have saved Seattle, as we be-
lieve it will save any other COM
munity where radicalism has
poisoned public thought to the
serious extent exhibited. in Sc.
attic and Winnipeg. The legion
is the salvation of the republic,
its devotion proved, its faith un-
shakable.

Chicago Tribune: The defeat
of the radical labor candidate for
mayor of Seattle by Major Hugh
Caldwell, a veteran Of the Ameri-
can expeditionary forces, is plain
indication of how an American
community will act on the issue
Of Americanism. Duncan. the
radical, had been active in the
recent revolutionary disturb
ances in Seattle and represented
a powerful backing OF discomfort
which had been organizing sfor
years in an extreme form in the
northwest Former Mayor Ole
Hansen, with the help OF service
men, put down an attempt to
sovietize Seattle, but the radical
organizations and sympathizers
carried the struggle into the cleo
ton of his successor and were
strong enough to poll 34.S49
votes in q total of $4,000 cast.
The registered voters are about
100, 1000, so it appears one voter
