ing diseased portion of the stom-
ach rest by diverting normal food
channels into other courses.
THUS it is possible to join the
stomach and small intestine to re-
lieve an obstruction or inflammation
at the normal junction of these
organs. .siu.
IAN obstruction at this junction
is frequently due to an ulcer or can.
Ger and the best results are obtain
ed by joining the small intestine to
the rosterior wall of the stomach
without the formation of loop.
THE aftermath of this operation
is that food, which normally passes
through and is absorbed by the en-
tire stomach, now passes and is alb,
sorbed by only portion of that
organ.
"The diseased portion of the
stomach, if not removed, is thus Civ
en- complete rest. The newly
formed channel is a permanent one
and patients rarely suffer any neon
venience from the resultant short
circuiting of food"

SHAKEUP COMING
EARLY In YEAR
Change In Administra.
tons To Have Far
Reaching Effect

WASHINGTON, Jan. - With
the change of administrations early
in the new year will come the adop-
ton of a new foreign policy by the
government. Many new faces will
be seen in congress when that body
starts on the legislative program
which Republican leaders are now
formulating.
Occupying prominnt place in the
public interest will be the peace pro-
gram of the new administration, in
Guiding the formal ending of the
existing state of war with Germany
and the framing of new commercial
treaties with the Teutons.
Tariff revenue revision will also
have front rank in the Republican
program for the extra session which
President-elect Harding will call
Immediately after his Inauguration.
Action taken by the present congress,
it is expected will be limited to the
transaction of urgent business, in
Guiding the passage of appropriations
for next year, farmers relief meas
ure, government regulation Of cold
storage and possibly the establish
ment of federal budget system, to-
gether with the preliminary prepa-
ration of legislation for the extra

to me that if the women will read
this little book, get a taste of what
law really is, get enough knowledge
out of it to enable them to talk in
diligently about the subject-for it is
only in this way can we ask sensible
questions-theE they have placed
themselves in line to know more
about the most important of all sub

THE prominent lawyer who never

this too:
I'm presenting your cause to an ap-
pellate court, remember that however
familiar it may be to you. it is all new
to the court. 1t is well to start by
telling what the lawsuit is about"
When Timothy Walker in 1887 took
the public into his confidence and told
them in simpler language than had
ever been used before, some very es-
sential things to know about laws, IT
was so plain that some feared it might
not be good law. But it remains for
Justice West to bring the law right
down into human comprehension and
isn't that where it ought always to
have been?
AS this deals with what I am and
what you are and our everyday rela-
lions to each other, brushing away as
it does a whole lot of Latinzed stuff
at SO much per hundred words for
the transcriber, it seems to me that 1t
ought to be one of the very best cures
for Bolshevism, and promote a most
wholesome and salutary respect for
our laws which we have made as a
governing rule for our actions toward
each other, and which we ought to
respect because we did make them
when we were sane, sweet tempered
and in accord with our fellows.

for by the friends of Justice West for
some time, but a strike back east de-
layed it but it is here on sale now az

For many years it has been the Gus

and pass resolutions declaring that
certain laws should be passed, or GER

took to make a law or to put it on
