BERLIN. June 1.-THE Bavarian
monarchists and reactionaries have
resumed their campaign of assassina-
tion and murder in an effort to block
the government In it's determination
to disarm the country in compliance
with the allied terms. Thereby they
hope to provoke an uprising among
the common people. which. in turn.
would offer an excuse for the con-
tinuation Of the military organiza-
tions built up in that monarchist
stronghold.
The murder yesterday Of Herr
Carols. chairman of the Bavarian in
dependent socialists. and an indefatig-
able leader in the movement to dis
arm and disband the Einwohnerwehr
and oregesch. is looked upon as a
crime second only to the assassina-
ton OF Kurt Eisner two years ago.
The reactionaries. as usual offered
the assassin plenty Of opportunity to
escape.
UprtstnG Believed Ain.
The socialists Of all shades Of opin-
ion agree that the murder was de-
signed to provoke an uprising. The
three-day general strike, proclaimed
by all three Bavarian socialist par
ties. is proceeding peacefully with
every effort being made to prevent
bloodshed. A great protest meeting
was held in Munich by the socialists
this morning. The Freiheit, COM
menting on the incidents, says:
''The three days of general strike
which the Munich workers have de-
clared is their reply to the unheard
Of provocation which the Bavarian
proletariat has been submitting to
for the past twelve months. Bavaria
still is the center Of Germanys en-
barrassments. The Berlin govern
ment must realize that the fate of
the republic depends on the wiping

MICH"
The newspaper charges that the
members Of the Orgesch rave been
transporting their arms to Tyrol and
storing them there in readiness for
the desired moment. It warns the
government that tho Bavarians are
playing = treacherous game. which
may provoke . new industrial revolt

PUT STOMACH In
FINE CONDITION
Says Indigestion Results From an
Excess of Hydrochloric
Acid.

Undigested food delayed in the
stomach decays, or rather, rements the
same as food left in the open air, says
that Indigestins is caused by Hyper
acidity, meaning, there is an excess of
hydrochloric acid in the stomach
which prevents complete digestion and
starts food fermentation. Thus every
thing eaten sours in the stomach
much like garbage sours in a can,
forming acrid fluids and gases which
initiate the stomach like a toy bal
loon. Then we feel a heavy, lumpy
misery in the chest, we belch up gas,
we uructate sour food or have heart
burn, flatulence, waterbrash or
nausea.
He tells us to lay aside all digestive
aids and instead. get from any phar-
macy four ounces of Jad Salts and
take a tablespoonful in a glass of
water before breakfast and drink while
it is effervescing and furthermore, to
continue this for a week. While re-
lief follows the first dose, it is i'm
portant to neutralize the acidity, re-
move the gas making mass, start the
liver, stimulate the kidneys and thus
promote a free flow of pure digestive
juices.
Jad Salts is inexpensive and is
made from the acid of grapes and
lemon juice, combined with lithia and
sodium phosphate. This harmless salts
is used by thousands of people for
stomach trouble with excellent results.

KEEPING OF BEES
NEEDS ATTENTION
Many Persons in State Have Made
Success of Industry.
(By Frank StirIing)

The keepers of bees in Florida find
many reasons for engaging in this in
dustry. Some engage in it's solely for
the honey produced and the financial
gains resulting therefrom, while others
in fact, a large majority, are in the
business for the love of it. For some
it is a recreation, and there is no bet
ter, as it gives delightful and absorbing
occupation in the open air and those
who love natural science find no more
fascinating problems than the ones
still unsolved in the hive. County
agents of this state are devOting much
time to bee culture.
AS a vocation it requires ones whole
time and energy in order to insure
success. Florida already has a large
number of persons engaged in the bee
industry whose yearly incomes vary
from $500 to $1,000.
Bee keepers are located in nearly
every section Of the state, but most of
them are at points where the pastur-
age for the bees is Of the BEST that is,
where the plants grow which produce
the most and best honey, such as the
citrus grove sections on the east and
west coasts, the swamps where great
quantities of cabbage palmetto grow,
and the northwestern portions of the
state where the tupelo and It'll abound.
Some bee keepers in Florida have
several hundred colonies but the most
of them keep only a few as side
ISSUE" Fifteen or 20 colonies may be
managed with comparatively little
time and attention.
