WILSON SLOWLY
REGAINS HEALTH
GrdySOn Determined President
Shall Not OUertGx Self.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 20-President
Wilson will not take an active part in
the preconvention political activities, it
was learned at the whitehouse today.
While political leaders are anxious to
have the president appear in public ana
to participate in early campaign meet
ings, the president viii not make any
appearance in public for several weeks
yet, it was stated on the best of
authority.
When the president does appear in
public, it is not likely that it will be at
political gathering, but instead 1t wilt
be at church
The president is improving in health,
according to DR.. Grayson, but his i'm
provement is decidedly slow. Dr. Gray
son stated that each week shows an
improvement in the presidents condition,
but his improvement day by day is so
slow that it is hardly perceivable.
1t IS the purpose of DR.. Grayson, and
those close to the whitehouse, to insist
upon the president proceeding very
slowly during his convalescence and
every precaution is being taken to pre-
vent. any over-exertion. The president
himself is persistent in his efforts to dc
those things which his physicians advise
against. He desires to become as active
as his health permits but his physicians
insist upon conservation of his strength.

QUITS
WORLD LEAGUE
u. S. Failure to Ratify Pact
Cause, He Declares.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 2O.-Raymond b.
Fosdick, under secretary general of the
league of nations and American repre-
sentative in the league machinery, has
resigned.
Mr.. Fosdick's friends say that mas
much as the league has not been accepted
by the United States he did not feel he
could continue.
In his telegram to Sir Eric Drummond,
secretary general, Mr.. Fosdick said that
Americas "lack Of decision" places him
in an embarrassing position and to
"avoid confusion or misunderstanding"
he believed it best to resign.
he expressed faith in the league and
declared it was near the point where It
can begin to carry out the world )
hope" for disarmament, arbitration and
the protection of backward people, the
furthering of international health prof
ects and all the other humanitarian is
sues"
He declared his resignation was due in
no way to lack of faith in the league.
During the war Mr.. Fosdick was chair
man of the commission on training camp
activities.

LEGION WOULD
REh1OVE SOCIAL
UNREST CAUSES
Best Way to Combat It, Is
Committee DecisiOn-Plan
Clearing House.
TEACH LAW AND ORDER

The AMERICAN legion will seek to re-
move the cause of social unrest in Amer
lea as a means of combating 1t, accord
ing to Arthur Woods of New York, chair
man of the Americanization committee
of the legion, who has been intrusted
with working out the details of a pro-
gram of Americanism to be instituted by
the legion.
The Americanization committee Of the
legion, which held its first meeting here
yesterday afternoon, decided to estab
hsh a headquarters which would be
clearing house for collecting and dis
seminating information, methodssand pol
icies In connenction with Americanzation
work to the various posts of the ,e-
gion.
URGE EDUCATION
AS BEST METHOD.
The following recommendations were
made by the commission:
We recommend" says the commission
that every effort be made to cooperate
with all existing agencies working for
the same ends. As knowledge is the pre>
requisite Of enlightened citizenship ana
as education is the road to knowledge, we
recommend giving the active support Of
the American legion to every effort to
stamp out illiteracy in the nation. The
why d6ALdLOE IHdL eventually need be
feared is injustice. The American legion
stands for the reconciliation Of all citi-
zens by the removal of unjust conditions
wherever found. Love of county and
loyalty to the institutions grow from
knowledge. The American legion should
use its influence to encourage and sup
port and help the schools in telling chill
dren the history and development Of
American Institutions in language they
can understand.
IMMIGRANTS SHOULD
UNDERSTAND q. s.
1.-THE same story should greet the i'm
migrant as he lands and should follow
him through his oath of citizenship. 1t
should be instilled in the heart and mind
OF every other adult as well, so that lack
of loyalty can not longer be attributed
to lack OF understanding.
Since the American legion stands I'M
reserVedly for law and order, 1t should
always set an example of law and order,
and 1t should be the endeavor of each
individual member to assist public Off
Gals charged with the enforcement of
law and order in every lawful manner"
The details of the program and the
methods of carrying it out have been left
entirely in the hands OF Mr.. Woods.

It's Acid Stomach That
Makes Millions Sick
and Suffer

1t is scientific fact that Acid-Stomach
robs blood of it's vitality, resulting in fiabby
-weakness-pale cheeks-loss of energy,
in fact causes many of the ills of suffering
humanity.
You know what acid-mouth does to the
teeth and gums-how the acid literally eats
through the hard enamel. causing the teeth to
ache and decay. Just imaNne, then, what
havoc Acid Stomach must CrAate throughout
the entire body.
Millions of people are weak and unfit, suf-
fering all the time, in one way or another,
from Acid-Stomach.
They don't seem dangerously sick Just
ailing. Going through life weak, istless, drag
ging one foot after another. They're nervous
and Irritable; lack power and punch, frequently
have severe attacks of binding, splitting
headaches; subject to fits of melancholia and
mental depression. And nearly always their
stomachs are out of order, even though many
experience no actual stomach pains digestion
poor-never getting anywhere near the full
strength from their food.
Acid-Stomach interferes with digestion. It
causes the food to ferment. This fermenta-
ton creates gas, sometimes causing painful

Canadian Situation.

OTTAWA, Ont, Jan. 20.-Strong pro
tests are being lodged with the Canadian
government by the American authorities
against the embargo on the shipment of
newsprint paper to the United States by
the FIT Frances Paper Company. Amer
lean newspapers have united with the
United States government in the pro-
tests.
1t is understood that in addition to
protesting to Ottawa, the United States
government has lodged a protest with
the British government at London. Lon

matter up with Ottawa.
The Canadian government so far has
shown no inclination to recede from its
original attitude.

Dear Mrs. Thompson: Is it al
ways the mans, place to ask to call,
or Is It permissible for a lady to
ask him to call before he has ex-
pressed a desire to do SO?
THANK YOU.
It is really the woman's place
to invite the man to call. I have
observed, however. that men ask
permission to call whether they
have had an invitation or not.
Some men are 20 conceited that
they feel a woman is running after
them If they are invited before
they have asked permission.
II some one il showing particu-
lar interest in you, think it would
be all right for you to ask him to
come to see you. Do not urge him
to come, of course
Dear Mrs. Thompson: I haze
been going with q boy for two
months and lately he has been
bringing other girls home from
work. He asked to take me home,
but I would not let him. He tells
me mot to talk to other boys, but
he talks to girls just the same.
I love him very much, but he
doesn't seem to care for me- as
much as he used to. He has my
ring. ] asked him to give it to
me, but he won't. Does he still

The young man seems to be in
tsrested in you or he would gladly
return your ring and would not OBJ

Try not to show your love for him.
II he thinks you are in love with
him his indifference will grow.
Do not accept ring from him
unless you become engaged.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: l an a
girl Of nineteen and have q really
great question. It Is most i'm
portant and urgent to me-
I like two boys. One l like very
much and the other l like a little.
The one I like q little 1 think l
could learn to love more than l do
the one l like very much. Do you
think it is a mistake for a girl to
let herself learn to care for a
young man who does not show he
will ever care for her? C. r.
Be master Of your thoughts as
far as possible. II you encourage
yourself to fall in love with some
one. you will bs building an ideal
which may not be like the char
acter Of the man you think you

The Worlds Greatest.

Auguste Comts compiled . still well-known
calendar Of the worlds great men. from the
\ dawn Of history down to about 1880.
+. His list includes only $50. 4
To get this many he included such tiny stars
as the English dramatist. Thomas Otway. the
American novelist. Fennimore Cooper. and the
Italian composer. Donizetti + ~
H. One conclusion that may be drawn from this
IL that many men who might be called great
are not recognised Doubtless this is true to-
day. The man who invented the typewriter
has affected the lives Of millions. Judged BY
the benefits he has conferred this inventor
might well be called great. But how many
