No More Gas i'm
Stomach and Bowels

If you wish to be permanently re
lieved of gas in the stomach and bow
els. take Baalmanns Gas-Tablets.
Baalmann's Gas-Tabets are prepared
distinctly and especially for stomach
gas, and particularly for all the bad eff
fects coming from gas pressure.
That ebpty, gone and gnawing feeling
at the pit of your stomach will disap-
pear; that anxious and nervous feeling
with heart palpitation will vanish, and
YOU will once more be able to take deep
breath, so often prevented by gas press
ing against your heart and lungs.
Your limbs, arms and fingers won't
feel cold and go to sleep, because Baal-
mann's Gas-Tablets prevent gas interior
ing with the circulation: intense drOwsi-
ness and sleepy feeling after dinner will
soon be replaced by a desire for some
form of entertainment. Your distended
stomach will reduce by inches because
gas will not form after using Baalmann' )
Gas-Tablets.

NO ARMY, NO NAVY,
NO NATIONAL DEBT
Tonga, Last Native Kingdom of the Pa
cifc, Presents Ideal Con-
ditionS

SYDNEY. New South Wales, Sept 2.
A country without an army, without
a navy, without national debt and
without an income tax; where the ro-
nance of the South Seas still lives, and
where every male reaching the age of
is years must own eight and one quar-
ter acres of laud to sustain his own
family-a statute obligation which is
fulfilled by a magnanimOus government
granting him the land gratis.
Such is Tonga, the last remaining ma
tive kingdom in the Pacific ocean, ac-
cording TO the description furnished by
Thu Nakanoa, premier of the island,
who was here recently.
Premier Nakanoa said that the people
of Tonga are very contented. They
have their own monarch, ministry, flag,
and parliament of seven members
elected by the people and an equal num-
Der chosen by the mobiles or hereditary
chiefs.
At the end of last March Premier
Eakanoa said the kingdom had a sur
plus of more than 100000 pounds reve-
nue. over ies expenditure after paying
for all public works.
Males reaching the age of l6 are
granted their land and must plant
enough cocoanuts, vans and other food
to sustain their families and to pay
their educational tax, which practically
completes their civic duties, he said.

ADVICE TO thin,
NERVOUS PEOPLE

It's worth your while to read what a
New York specialist has to say about the
nerve and brain cell builder that the Brat
tIeboro Drug Co. and other leading drug
gists sell so much of these days. He
writes:
Let those who are weak, thin, nervous,
anaemic- or rundown, take natural I'M
adulterated substances such as Bitro-
Phosphate and yol will soon see some as
tonishing results in the increase of nerve
energy and strength of body and mind"
BftrO- Phosphate is a pure organic ph0s-
plate such as good physicians prescribe
to increase weight and create abundant
nerve rce.-Advertisement
CAUTION: Although Bitro- Phosphate is an
excellent aid in relieving weak, nervous condi-
tions. its use is not advised unless increased

WOODROW WILSON

BY MCready Sykes-In Commerce & Finance
Not yet may be written the Iudg-
ment of history on Woodrow Wilson.
Borne by vast world currents to a
dizzy height wherefrom, like Caesar,
he did bestride the world like Col
ossus. the tickle shifts of public opin-
ion swiftly cast him down where. 10
follow the same parallel, there was
none so poor to do him reverence AS
his eventful administration ends he
enters doubtless on the ascending
curve of public esteem, whose oscilla-
tons will finally reach an equilibrium
where shall be recorded the Judge
ment of history on one who
Left name at which the world grew pale.
To point a moral or adorn tale
Mr. Wilson approached and entered
public life by a short cut and with
out the apprenticeship that acquaints
men with the workings of practical
politics. He had written books on
government. not alone on its purposes
and accomplishments but specifically
on its workings. A lawyer who had
never more than begun to practice.
having early gone into teaching as a
profession. he had no hrst-hand know
ledge of courts, nor did he ever re-
veal special sympathy with the judicial
point of view. He was too well in
form, too catholic and comprehensive
in his equipment to be antagonistic to
the judicial point of view; it was simp-
ly that his mind did not work that
way. Neither temperamentally, nor by
training did he have the habit of see
ing the other side.
Contrary to a rather popular i'm
preston. he was never selfish man.
By training schoolmaster, long be-
fore he entered public life his mental
habits and processes were those in
cvitably resulting from daily dealing
with minds less mature than his own
His career can be interpreted and
understood only in the light of these
ingrained mental habits His charact-
eristic insistence on his own way was
to be attributed not so much to ego
tistcal pride of opinion as to impat-
fence of meticulous interference with
broad policies. with the annoyance
and lost motion resultant on tinker
ing with plans broadly conceived; al
