THE BEST DYSPEPSIA CURE

r -.
A London doctor speaks a word
for cheerful thoughts and conver-
sation at meal time as the best
preventive Of dyspepsia 1t is a
good thing TO think about when
winter closes down with its. pre-
dominance OF heavy food, intense
application to business, hurry and
lack Of customary exercise.
Good food and good teeth con-
tribute toward good digestion. ac-
cording to the doctor, and an ordi-
nary amount of chewing aids the
digestive processes. but far most
important is; a mind at ease while
food is being taken, The business
luncheon. he points out. may be a
good thing commercially, but
gastronomicai.y it is not.
Haste, worry, the discussion of
disputed or vexatious topics or
anything which tends toward un-
due mental excitement. must be
avoided if good digestion is to wait
on appetite. and health on both.
He who takes times for his dining.
eats in pleasant company and talks
of other things than his worries or
his labors wilt not be seeking dys-
pepsia remedies, no matter how
hard he works and thinks between
meals.

Fascist PRINCIPLES

Most Americans realize that the
new Italian government. headed by
Mussolini, represents a middle-class
revolution and the defeat Of So
cialisrn. Few, however, have much
idea of what Fascism really stands
for. Here are its principles, as
stated by an. Itaiian-American:
Opposition to all International
ism.
Legal establishment of the eight
hour day, with due reservations for
agricultural and certain other sea-
sonai industries.
Representation of the workers
in the management of every indus
try.
Opposition to the industrial
stale.
abandonment by the state Of all
industrial enterprises.
self-discipline for organized Ia
bor. (This to combat proletarian
dogma).
Italian expansion in the Mediter-
ra.aean.
Economically it seems TO be a
rather tolerable compromise. with
radicalism. In its domestic ap-
plication. however. Americans are
not much concerned with it. when
once assured that Italy is not go
ing Bolsheyist. The items of real
interest here are those touching
foreign policy. There is nothing
very reassuring about them.
italian expansion on the Medi-
terranean'' cannot be achieved
without taking territory fromAsome-
body else, and chat means trouble
in Europe again. aoppositIon to all
internationalfsm' if it mes rs any
thing, means ,oppesition to co-ope-
rating with other nations for the
general good.
aggressive nationalism may be
even worse than Socialism.

Naval Reduction Throws 1000 Out
of Work.

TOXIC, Get. 30.-Approximately
1909 workers in the naval arsenals
were dismissed in October due TO
lack Of work following the naval
reduction agreed upon at the Wash
ington Conference. Retiring al
lowances granted these men by the
government totalled $500. .000 yen.
The dismissal will be followed by
the retirement Of at least Il thou
sand warrant officers.
To find accomplishment for these
men is Il problem facing the gov
ernment The municipal authori-
ties are absorbing as many as they
can by starting work on street and
other improvements. All workers
dismissed by the navy and army
will receive bonuses.

wANTEDGGooD ARCHITECTS

With the great llome-buildine
era fairly upon the nation, a Wash
ington writer pleads for good archi-
.tects to design the homes. He
points out that a house of artistic
exterior costs no more than one
OF bad lines. AS an investment it is
more valuable. being sold more
easily and commanding a better
price.
Most people who contemplate
building have a good idea of what
they want inside the house, bu,
when it comes to fitting an exter-
Tor to their plans. the homemade
result too frequently is painful
The good architect could take those
same ideas and mold them into
form calculated to please both
those who are to live in the home
and those who are to gaze upon it
from without. He will do it with
an economy of space and material
which will more than pay for his
services. And as for fee, not all
good architects are high priced
ABy their works ye shall know
them.''
Whether an architect is employ
ed or not, reading, observation and
the study of pictures will help to
assure an artistic home. and it is
infinitely better to plan one which
will increase the immediate proper
ty value and that Of the neighbor-
hood than to waste money on one
of unfortunate design.

WORSHIP BIZ RADIO

On a recent Sunday million
people are said to have listened
IN on church service in New

The Church of St Thomas, on
Fifth Avenue, was equipped with q
complete radio sending outfit. in
eiuding nine microp ophones placed in
different parts Of the bnilding. The
service entire-nusiie. sermon. an
nouncements. congregational throat
clearing and skirt-swishIng and all
other familiar aud incidental noises
carried to- Newark and there
broadcast for whoever cared to
give ear. Thus the service was
spread over an area Of many thou
sand square miles. reaching alike
the stay-at-h home in int the big city.
the rural recluse and the lum-
berjaea in the distant forest.
1t is an excellent thing, this vast
extension of religious services made
possible by the radio. Yet it may
well be doubted whether the VI
car;ous worship thus made possible
IS as wholesome and effective as the
good old-fashioned kind. where
every participant looks his pastor
and fellow-worshippers ii the face,
in an atmosphere made sacred by
long association.

Propose New Series of Sunday
School Lessons.

Minneapolis, Mimi, Nov. IL
Holding that the. international Sc
ries Of Sunday school lessons in
Protestant churches of all denom-
nations have not been satisfactory
and that the elective method of
study fails to give connected
knowledge of the Bible, the worlds
Fundamental Christian Conference
committee has recommended that
the international series be drop
ped and new series adopted.
Action of the committee to ere
late new Sunday school Bible
course, will have a nationwide ef-
feet and will result in extended
discussion throughout the world by
those refusing and those who adopt
the new study, it was said here hv
J. Frank Norris, chairman Of the.
committee, upon conclusion OF the
work
t Agitation for the change was ev-
ident for several years past and at
the last Fundamental Christian
convention in Los Angeles, which
was made up of representatives
from every Protestant denomina-
ton in the United States, Canada
and eight foreign countries. the
committee which recommended the
| important change was appointed to
| formulate, new series, according
| to DIR. Norris.
.It no doubt will provoke COM
ment," DIR: Norris declared, but
the new lessons viii teach whole
connected version Of the Bible, not
Elective parts as heretofore, and
the growing generations will be

e.naseula.ad gospel"
| The committee advises that be-
ginning January and through
September 1923, the studies be
given in the Gospel and Epistles Of
John.

action, the committee declared the
prevailing methods Of Bible study
NOW in vogue are not satisfactory
ito the most effective Bible students
of the world nor to the Sunday
School public at large. THE elec-
tive method has too often resulted

iauently has failed to give a con-

Ottawa. Ont, Nov. 24.1Forty
million dollars is being spent on
good roads in Canada this year.
Highways construction has been
carried on ON a larger scale this
wear than ever before and the ap-
preparations for work are the high
est on record, according to A w.

ways.
..Of the total sum spent, SIS. 5.00G,-

highways, of which s6,098, ,688 viii

ury,' said Mr.. Campbell. 'Expen-
ditures being made by the prov
inces and counties on roads not re-
ceiving federal assistance VIII
amount to about 5000, Geo.
There are now 1000 miles Of per-
nanent paved road in Canada. or
sufficient mileage to extend one
third Of the distance between the
Atlantic and Pacific coast, according
to Mr.. Campbell, who added that
this mileage is being increased as
rapidly as possible.
The Dominion government has
appropriated sac, ,0oe,0 to be
used in construction Of main high
ways and market roads, calculated
to cover a period of fye years. This
is divided among the provinces on
the basis of population Under the
terms of the grant the provinces
carry out the road building, and
the government, on approval OF the
plans, contributes 40 per cent OF
the cost This guarantees stand
ardization Of roadways and places
only 60 per, cent expense on. the
provinces.
Highway Improvement has been
especially rapid in the west, due to-
the rapid developmenr of the
great agricultural districts by the
influx of new settlers, states Mr.
Campbell. Farmers are doing
much of their marketing with mo-
tor trucks and crops are quickly
transported to market over the
modern highways.
