Il have used it for indigestion a num-

continues Mr.. Rister.
For sour stomach, heavy, bloated

liver gets torpid, so that you feel
dizzy, few doses will set you straight.

In its 70 years of usefulness Thed-

thousands and thousands of persons
suffering from the results of dis
ordered liver. And, like Mr.. Rister,

a lady is not woman born to "a

GRAFT IN THE PULl.MiNS?

The New York Board Of Trade and
Transportation, which has been look
ing into charges Of petty grating
in railroad offices in connection with
the sale of Pullman accommodations,
reports that the accusations have
been sustained Many specific in
stances where patrons We're required
or where they found it desirable tc
bestow gratuities in exchange for ac-
commodations were presented to the
board. Numerous cases have been
brought to our attention." says the
report, "of applications on certain
specified trains being refused by the
agent selling Pullman tickets with
the statement that all had been sold,
but later the accommodation was
procured on the train through the
intervention of the porter or some
other person in the station who
knew the ropes receiving fee.
From the fact of many habitual tray-
elers being aware Of this system,
expecting to pay an extra fee TO
insure getting what they want, it
seems to be quite common. 1t would
appear to be to the interests of the
railroads and the Pullman Company
to remedy this wrong because if ac-
commodation is so often available,
when refused for grating purposes,
it must frequently happen that the
reserved accommodation is unsold
when it nigh; be sold and the COM
panies are the losers thereby"
Another suggested reform is the
stamping Of prices on railroad tickets.
This is matter which was taken up
with the government when the rail-
roads We're under its control and it
was said then that nothing could
be done about it, But the effort IS
to be renewed in that direction. Many
instances have been reported of in
correct charges that could be recti-
fled. If it is true that employees are
receiving fees from travellers for ac-
commodations in addition 10 the au-
thorized charge, 1t is the duty of
the Pullman and railroad companies
to put an end TO the pernicious sys-
TEN. There have been too many
reports Of this kind To dismiss the
accusation as without foundation

WORLD NEEDS
(From IndianapolIs News

(trom indianapolis News)
What the world needs at the pres
ent time is, not simply help in its
distress, but a chance to help itself
rebuild its shattered life. In other
words, there can be no monopoliza-
ton or attempted monopolization OF
trade by any nation that will not
have disastrous effects on men every
where and long postpone the recovery
of sick humanity. This is fact
that bears directly on the situation
in this country. and one that can
not be ignored. The war utterly
changed conditions in every nation
in the world--except in America. The
peoples OF Europe owe US billions
Of dollars, debt which they must
largely pay In goods. II they are TO
get goods they must have free ac-
cess To raw materials. machinery, food,
and clothing. and II they are TO sell
them they must not be forced 10
break through or climb over high
tariff walls, And unless they sell
them they will be unable 10 discharge

All this Is today clear TO many men.
who used TO be among the strongest
advocates the extreme policy OF re-
construction. Men have learned-great-
ly To their surprise-that It is pos
sible to have u too great balance OF
trade in our favor" and that its ef-
feet Is TO demoralize exchange, TO
limit exports. and thus 10 reduce the
opportunities for employment in this
country. All of which Is bad for us.
and very bad for a suffering and i'm
poverished world.
The question is not simply one of
eeonomies--it is social as well. The
best preventive OF the spread Of Boil
shevism Is social order and stability.
and this there can not be unless men
are AT work at good wages. industries
operating freely and goods moving
from country TO country. IN other
words, trade Is at the present time
the best insurer OF the worlds safety.
Americans cannot maintain a state
OF commercial and economic isolation
without great harm and great danger

A MESSAGE FROM THE
PRESIDENT

The following message from Presi-
dent Wilson, who is also president
OF the American Red Cross, to the
American people, has been issued
from the White House:
The American Red Cross deserves
hearty response to its fourth invi-
| tation to annual membership.
Under the stimulus of war and
through the cooperation Of our peo-
pie, this organization grew into i'm
mense size, enlarged its range Of ac-
tivity, served not only our fighting
forces, but also civilians involved
in the hardships of war in our own
nation and in the nations associated
with us in great common enterprise.
and gave to the world an example of
effective mercy through co-ordinated
effort.
Since the cessation of hostili:ies
the organization has faced duel
duty; first, TO fulfill obligations cre-
ated by the war, and, secondly, TO
=
to the needs Of peace.
1t is. today, still assisting gov
ernmental agencies in the care OF
our disabled soldiers and sailors, in
replacing those able TO work in civil
ian occupations, and in counselins
and aiding the families of former
combatants; and it is still assisting.

cess Of rehabilitation in some Of the

former associates.
obligations. the Red Cross has been
accommodating methods and applying
lessons learned in war TO the normal
needs OF our own people in times of
peace, especially in regions where
provisions for public health and well
fare were imperfectly developed. II
has placed public health nurses in
many localities, and has endeavored
to enlist greater numbers of young
women in the nursing profession in
order that the supply might more
nearly equal the steadily increasing
demand for community nurses. 1t
has devised IA scheme of public
health centers' for the relief OF mala-
dies and for instruction in hygiene,
dietetics. and general principles OF
disease-prevcntion. With its nurses
and nurses aides it has rendered in
calcuable service in the serious epi-
lemics OF influenza. II has carried in
