WHAT CAUSES GAS
 ON THE STOMACH

It is caused by fermenting, sour waste matter in the intestines. This old, foul matter should be thorough ly cleaned out with simple buck thorn bark, glycerine, etc, as mixed in Ad-ler-i-ka. This acts on BOTH upper and lower bowel, removing old accumulated matter you never thought was in your system. Ad- ler-i-ka relieves ANY CASE gas on the stomach.

The Back.
 Many people have weak spot.
 Too often it's a bad back.
 Twinges follow every sudden twist. Dull aching keeps up, day and night.
 Backache is often from weak kid neys.
 In such case a kidney medicine is needed.
 Deans Kidney Pills are for weak kidneys.
 For backache and urinary ills Ask your neighbors.
 Canaan people recommend the remedy.
 Miss Mary L. Lermond, Box 3, Ca- naan, says: My kidneys were in a very poor condition. They acted too frequently and caused annoyance. When I bent over 1 not only became dizzy, but my back ached severely. Sharp pains would go across the lower part of it whenever l began to work. My condition in general was very poor and I began taking Deans Kidney Pills upon my fathers ad- vice. It didn't take quite whole box of Doan's to entirely cure me of all signs of kidney trouble. l get Doan's at Dempsey's Drug Store"

Bentley's Miscellany, and in 1897, after her husbands death, she became editor and proprietor of The ArgOsy, in which appeared her later novels. Her first great success was "East Lynne," in 1861, the book by which she is known today. The vogue of the story was enormous; 1t was translated into sev- eral languages, and theatregOers of an older generation fin Both England and America knew various very sue cessful versions of it. She wrote some forty long novels and many short tales, some of which ranked as "best sellers" long before the invention of that phrase. Her powers ranged from extreme melOdrama to the portrayal of everyday life. She was perh aEs unduly prized in her day and Is unduly appreciated now, but that Is the way with best-sellers. "The Shadow of AshIydyat" was her own favorite; her JOEnny Ludlow tales are perhaps her most artistic work: "East Lynne" however, Is the book her name sug- gests to readers.

men left in Europe who know how to

most serious works have much the

compositions certain of WAGNER s
fundamental principles. But he never

SUNDAY, DECEMBER IS. 1921.
France and the Conference.

If France shall finally reach the
decision that she cannot accept the
plan and purposes Of the Washing
ton conference in respect of the size
of her army and navy, as is indicated
by dispatches from the capital. is
there, after all, anything for the con-
ference to do except to let France do
whatever she wishes in the matter?
France knows what the spirit of
the conference is, knows the way Eng
land, Japan and America have worked
together for the common good. OBJ
viously. however, only France can
determine for herself, after full con-
sideration Of the cost of constructing
and maintaining vast military estab-
lishments and the meaning of this
policy in relation to all her other
problems, whether she wouldn't bet
ter take the larger view of the situ-
alton and march in step with Eng
land, Japan and America in this
greatest of all international efforts
to minimize, If not even to eliminate,
wars from the world.
There is no spirit Of compulsion in
the conference, we are certain. There
has been and will be no resort to
pressure on the representatives Of
any nation. If nothing more is accom-
plished in the conference than has
already been accomplished this inter-
national gathering will stand out as
one of the most momentous events of
all world history.
No international conference has
ever achieved all it would have liked
/, to achieve. But in actualities and in
potentialities the Washington confer
ence has achieved so largely that the
world may well hold 1t as the dawn
OF a new and brighter day in the
outworking of the problems of human
life.
The conference not only has
pledged itself to the scrapping OF bat
tleships but has already scrapped the
cumbersome and insincere diplomacy
of the ages and installed in its place
a new, fresh, vigorous, open diplo-
macy that has all the directness and
simplicity of the board meeting of
the great business organization which
gets its work done. And the remark
able fact is that the distinguished
representatives from abroad have
taken to this new diplomacy as a
duck takes to water.

Christmas Tree Waste.

In the interest of conservation the
New York College of Forestry of
Syracuse University urges discontin-
uance of the Christmas tree. 1t ar
CUES that while the annual consump-
tion Of trees for this purpose may
not make great inroads on our forest
reserves, none the less the indis-
criminate cutting down Of young and
vigorously growing trees for merely
decorative purposes is not consistent
with the efforts to educate the public
in the proper care of our remaining
timber resources.
Just how many young pines, cedars
and other evergreen trees are annu-
ally butchered to make a Christmas
holiday there is no way of ascertain
ing. 1t is certain that were they all
gathered from one district the acre
age laid bare would be an impressive
exhibit. BY organized campaigns and
by individual effort friends OF con-
Bervation have been trying for years
10 impress public attention with the
fact that our forest resources are not
inexhaustible. Forestry laws, Fed
eral or State, with teeth or toothless,
will ever be more or less unavailing
unless with such laws goes a public
sentiment aroused to the Importance
of their enforcement. Whatever
tends to undermine that sentiment
Is a misfortune.
Now the annual destruction of tens
OF thousands of growing trees to be
used as Christine 5,age settings and
then thrown away is obviously the
reverse Of an expansion Of public ed.
ncation in the direction that the sal
vation of our forests demands that
It be expanded. II is deleterious In
that IL is really waste OF trees and
Sc is deleterious in that 1t sets bad
example.
This is the thought back Of the at.
tack made by the New York College
of Forestry on the Christmas tree.
But before condemning utterly Gus

To THE NEW YORK HERALD Reading
with much interest and pleasure the
reminiscent letter Of your correspon-
dent &c. d. p" referring to some of
the performers who in the old days
graced the stage of the Theatre Co
mique, / noted two statements which do

Your correspondent speaks of John

songs John Diamond did not play the
harp. The harp player was Charles
Diamond. always billed as "The Milesian
Minstrel" who sang and danced to his
own accompaniment. His song, my
Own Peculiar Style" was familiar in
those days to all variety theatregoers.
And again. your correspondent refers
to Alice Lingard as the sister Of Will
lam Horace Lingard Alice. or Alice
Dunning Lingard, was his wife, and IL
my recollection serves me his sister was
known as "Dickey" Lingard.

Holiday Gifts in Peril.
Children Resent the Usurpation OF
Their Playground.

To THE New YORK HERALD: The Gov
ernment has usurped the children's
sidewalk playground in East Thirty
fourth street The children resent the
usurpation. They are on the warpath
and their strenuous acrobatic protest
may result In painful and lasting in
jury TO the contents of the bags Of mail
that are scattered about like leaves of
the forest.
For in this neighborhood we have a
post office. The open air theory also
prevails. Therefore lest the house mi
crobes infest mail matter, bags upon
bags are spread over the pavement rs
thick as the brown sugar was spread
over our bread and butter in the goodly
days of yore.
And the children object Not to the
brown sugar, but to the fact that they
can no longer dance and jump upon the
pave. So they fling themselves with
reckless abandon on this pyramid OF
mail. Doubtless their joy is great when
they hear what betokens a smashup.
Mail matter requires protection, es-
pecially at this season of the year; yet
who has the heart to spoil the pleasure
OF a child.
So let the children dance and jump

SUPERNATURAL MANIFESTATIONS.

SUPERNATURAL MANIFESTATIONS.
When observing in our materialistic
times how man by an unconscious in
stinct is trying to find again his contact
with nature. be it by mountaineering, or
by sports in the open air, by sun baths.
&c. to participate, as 1t were, in natures
purity and harmonious structure, we
cannot be astonished to be taken out of
our ordinary life by strange and puz-
zling events. or to have by persons, So
called mediums, things brought to our
notice which. while appearing wholly
contrary to the laws of nature, are man.
ifestations of forces that on their side
break their way into our everyday
world for the purpose Of leading man
out of darkness into the sphere of higher
knowledge.
So it happened one day in village OF
Austria In a kitchen there was a
small spice chest on the wall from which
suddenly one of the little drawers
dropped apparently without any inter-
ference by any of the persons present,
and it dropped. not, as one would sup
pose. according to the law of gravity,
vertically to The ground, but was swept
in a curve on to the middle OF the
kitchen. There the little label on the
drawer marked pepper came off and re-
NAMED while the drawer itself flew back
to its proper place, where it stuck, turned
the wrong way.
This happened in the presence of three
persons, and was the beginning of some-
thing greater, as we shall see. These
three gentlemen formed a union for fur
ther research, with the seat in Eben-
see. SalZkammergut. The meetings took
place first at the local teachers house.
afterward. as this was prohibited by the
school board, in private apartments. and
the result was surprising.
It was found that the teacher himself,
Mr.. Ferihumer, was the medium AT
the first meeting he rose to height or
so centimeters above the floor and re-
mained suspended there for while. AL
the fourth meeting the members wit
messed the naturalization or mowers
which are being kept until to-day FOR
inspection. On the table there was
nothing at first. doors and windows
were closed. because 1t was the earnest
intention of all present to ascertain
scientific facts and to exclude any deceit.
Two minutes later the flowers appeared
on the table. They were meadow how-
ers (Chrysanthemum leucanthemum)
At another meeting speik Can Alpine
flower Archilea lavena), Alpine roses
and other mountain flowers were show
cred upon those present.
At later meetings the medium rose 10
