catarrh of the stomach" writes a New.
York physician.
Catarrh of the stomach is dangerous
because the mucous membrane lining of
the stomach is thickened and a coating
of phlegm covers the surface SO that the
digestive fluids cannot mix with the food
and digest them. This condition soon
unassimilated food. The blood is polluted
and carries the infection throughout the
body. Gastric ulcers are apt to form and
frequently an ulcer liz the first sign of a
deadly cancer.
In catarrh of the stomach a good and
safe treatment is to take before meals Il
teaspoonful of pure Bisurated Magnesia
can comfortably drink it. The hot water
washes the mucus from the stomach walls
and draws the blood to the stomach while
the bisurated magnesia is an excellent
solvent for mucus and increases the eff
cheney of the hot water treatment. More
over the Bisurated Magnesia will serve as
powerful but harmless antacid which
will neutralize any excess hydrochloric
acid that may be in your stomach and
sweeten its food contents Easy, natural

HONEST WORK, HONEST PAY
Governor Allen Pleas for Industry in
Chicago Address.

Chicago, Jan. 1.-THE right to
work is as sacred as the right to loaf,
Gov. Henry ]. Allen of Kansas, said
last night in an address before the ma
tionaI shoe retailers exposition, in
which he defended the Kansas court
of industrial relations. The court, he
asserted, did not prevent persons from
ceasing to work if they chose, but it
did not permit them to prevent others
from working.
1--WE must go back to the old doc
trine, AN honest days work for an
! honest days pay" Governor Allen
said. Stacking does not go in this
country and the principle should be
an honest profit for an honest article
and no more"
Stacking on the job is not an Amer
! lean doctrine" he asserted. 1T does
not fit a land of achievement where
I we are behind with our constructive
activities. 1t is ruinous equally to the
sman who Iabors and the man who
employs"
Referring to the annulling of a Chi
cago plumber contract which provided
that a plumber should draw pay from
the time he left home and that he
should walk to work, Governor Allen
asserted that as a result of the at
tempt to increase the demand for
! plumbers by decreasing the output
more plumbers are out of work in
i Chicago than at any time for fifteen
| years.
Much of the trouble is due to such
! poisonous doctrine as that enunciated
in talks by Samuel Gompers, president
| of the American Federation of Labor
Governor Allen said. Mr.. Gompers
said: The fight of labor in the United
| States is to keep what it won during

STREET CAR ROBBERY EPIDEMIC
Houston, Tex. Police Unable to Check
Big Number of Hold-ups.

Houston, Tex, Jan. 12.-Despite de-
termined efforts of police to break up
robberies of street cars recently, they
had two more new cases on hand to-
day.
The latest reports of robberies came
just a few hours after a statement
from a prisoner had been obtained by
police in which a number of street
car holdups were admitted. One of
these was on the Iceland car, c. M
Harold, operator.
The other, coming a few minutes,
was the Downing street car. No esti-

Roseland Place, Baltimore, Md.
That is the thought SO often expressed
IN letters recommending Lydia E. Pink
ham Vegetable Compound. These wo-
men know what they have suffered, they
describe their symptoms and state how
they were finally made well. Just plain
statements, but they want other women
to be helped.
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound is a medicine made from medi-
cinal roots and herbs, and without drugs,
to relieve the sickness women so often
have, which is indicated by backache,
weak feelings, nervousness, and no am
bition to get anything done or to go
anywhere. 1t has helped many women.
Why not try it?

TO MAKE BIC FORD
Flivver King Proposes Invading
"CIassy Car" Field.
Plans to Buy and ReOrganize
Lincoln Motor Plant.

Detroit, Jan. 12.-Representatives of
Edsel Ford and the Ford Motor Car
company will bid for the property of
the Lincoln Motor Car company here
when the holdings are auctioned by a
master in chancery February 4, it is
announced at the Ford offices.
If the Ford company obtains the
property, new Lincoln Motor COM
pany will be organized, it was stated,
and the Ford interests will begin
manufacture of higher priced cars
than has been its custom.
The Lincoln company would be
operated as a unit of the Ford system,
Henry NJ. Leland would be retained as
president of the Lincoln company and
his son, Wilfred C. Leland as vice
president.
Lincoln Shares Active.
More than thirty thousand shares
of the Lincoln Motor company have
changed hands on the Detroit stock
exchange, following announcement
that the Ford interests planned to
submit bid of million dollars for
the Lincoln plant when it is put up at
a receivers sale here February 4.
The stock opened at less than So a
share, and the top price recorded was
SO, a block of fifty shares being sold
at that price. The close was at 5 Is.
The trading, it was said, was largely
the covering of shorts, many investors
hold that the reorganization plans un-
der the Ford interests would mean lit
tie to the stockholders, owing to Mr..
Fords often repeated opinions as to

out at $50 and sold as high as $50.

Big Car Makers Alarmed.
New York, Jan. Hin the move OF
| Henry Ford to gain control of the
Lincoln Motor company, the princes
of the industry, here to attend the mo-
| tor car show, are somewhat alarmed
! to perceive Ford's invasion of the
! high class car industry.
If Ford intends to make a so-called
| high class machine, using the Lincoln
motors as the base, the firms that
| heretofore have had to meet only the
! ordinary competition of their own kind
may have to resist ruthless price cut
| ting equivalent to that which the
| makers of smaller machines expert
enced when Ford set out to put the
| motor car within the means of the
working man.
| the Lincoln company, is the highest
official of that firm in New York al
! present. The price of the Lincoln, he
said, is $4,000, and he expects no rad
zeal reduction. 1t is reported on other
authority, however, that Ford intends
! to bring into the manufacture of his
! high class vehicle the same advan-
| tAge of quantity production that en-
| abled him to cut the price of the Ford
| to figure that makers of similar
machines fear to attempt.
