 SALT LAKE CITY. Feb. 20. Ernest Bamberger, Republi- can national committeeman and his party's candidate for United States Senator in the November elections; J. C.

 The brand of cigarettes the Senatorial candidate smokes should not interest the workers and farmers so much as the kind of company he keeps. When aspiring Senators con tinue to hobnob with mine own CTS, politicians and officials of smelling and refining com panies, one can just imagine how much such Senators repre- sent the plain people.

The real incendiaries of wooden railway bridges are the burning cinders from the defec- tive engines.
 How can we know where the railroads stand? They don't stop juggling their accounts long enough to be able to strike a balance.
 It is queer how soon EX- senators become Experts on foreign matters.
 Some of the lame ducks are going South rather late in the season. Kellogg and Poindex- ter, two alme ducks, fly for South America.

Yards of space was filled in the Congressional Record pleading the sugar trust claim to restitution of $2,ooo, ,ooo lost in dealings in Argen- tine sugar when the government stopped supporting the price of 26 cents pound fixed by the trust, which got the money
 Not one line appeared arguing for the governments payment of the award of the War Labor Board of July 3I, 1918, for ST ,6oo,ooo in favor of certain employees of the BethIe- hem Steel Company.
 What's the explanation? Before the next session of Congress many Congressmen will be asked why the trusts had so many special pleaders and why the wage earners, whose award had remained unpaid since though their bill had a favorable com mittee report.
 Will it be enough to reply to this question as did one man who fol- lowed legislative activities at the cap itol during last session:
 The appropriation for payment of the award to the steel workers probably would have been made dur ing the session If the steel interests had given the word, but they didn't give the word, and nobody was par ticularly interested"
 Nobody has said a. word against the justice of the claim of the steel workers who labored during the war at wages fixed by the War Labor Board, but who did not receive all the wages awarded A bare majority passed the appropriation for the sugar interests. Assuming that this sweet restitution was reasonable and just, 1t Is nevertheless interesting to com pare the. clean and unquestioned claim Sof the steel workers, with the involved and technical claims of the sugar interests and then wonder why no champion arose for the steel workers,
 Insight into sugar trust character is afforded because Of war between the beet sugar barons and the cane sugar trust Their war is over tariff, but the Bethlehem workers can learn something nevertheless.
 Says the beet sugar trust of the cane sugar trust:a
 "The sinuous trail of insincerity and equovication winds it's slimy way through every sentence of the rehn- ers' letter, and after splotching every page
 "The refining exploiters have ut tered scarcely a fair or honest sen tence In 20 years <"
 "The rapacity of these Cuban pro- ducers," who have "fattened on high prices" because of the Cuban ability to bleed us"
 Says the cane sugar trust of the beet sugar. trust:
 'It is common thing to see little tots with long sharp knives cutting tops from beets, in many cases work ing from 6 o'clock in the morning until nearly dark, with only short stop for lunch
 ''The beet sugar trust is levying tariff of two cents a pound on the sugar consumer and taking big profits
 large enough to build nine or ten factories, invest millions in other en- terprises pay dividends of 40 and 50 per cent. F
 "The beet sugar trust Is robbing the beet farmers and refusing to give them fair pay for their beets."
 These are the people who have so many champions in Congress to see that nothing shall interfere with profits and dividends while the claims of honest workmen for wages earned under contract are allowed to sink into oblivion.
 Sugar is sweet" says one reporter.
 Sugar is an aid to fermentation" says another.

Just Friendship

Dear Miss: This time it is not a case OF
love. but of friendship. We are two high
schools girls and thought you and others
might give us advice on how to win the
friendship of two boys who also are In high
cshool. They ara good Christian boys and
very nice and mannerly. At times they seem
TO like us and want to be friendly. At
Other times. they pass and don't speak We
want to be friends to every one.

hoys when we see them. or Just ignore them
Att the girls seem to be crazy about them
q How can we win the friendship of these
boys? BLUE EYES AND BOBBIE.
/. 1t is a girls privilege to recog-
nize first boy friend whom, she
meets. So, you do the nodding. The
boys probably do not see you when
they do not speak. You must remem-
Der that boys of that age have more
important matters than girls to think
about

friends. You say that's all you want;
it should be. So stop worrying.

Brothers. No fSheik,

Dear Miss Lee: 1 am a girl 10 and have
a brother. Is. who is nice looking, but is
different from other boys of his age.
He cares nothing for girls. Girls call every
night for him. but he will not talk to
them. He cares nothing for parties. He
never smokes He is a very good dancer,
but ne never goes to dances. He is always
receiving invitations to a dance or party,
but he never goes. He has host of boy
friends and is very jolly and full of life,
but he cares nothing for the things / men
toned.
He likes basketball and spends his time
in reading about such sports. He plays on
the school basketball team Do you think
he will ever turnY PATTY.
Areal boy, who will grow up into a
mans man"-and you want to make
him over into a "sheik." I, for one,
certainly hope he does not turn"
You should be thankful you have such
a brother, and let him stay as he is.
oh, as time goes on, his interests
will change slightly, Of course. He
may pay more attention to girls. Some
day he viii fall in love, and unless you
succeed in spelling him in the mean
time, it will be with real girl. So
please don't interfere and make him
lose his individuality, Patty.

In ONE gas is present in the stom-
ach of most persons, to a
- greater or less degree This
condition is usually most pronounced.
not in all cases, however, during the
process of digestion.
It is by no means an unnatural
condition. When the stomach is busy
mixing up the gastric juice with what
you have sent down, the trouble is
apt to occur. If your food has been
hastily chewed and swallowed or if
you have washed 1t down with copious
oraughts Of water, tea or coffee, to
hurry the process of swallowing, you
are likely to have gas.
The kind of food also determines
TO certain extent what the amount
OF gas will be. Peaches or other acid
fruits, If eaten hastily, will often cause
rapid formation of gas in the stom-
ach, with tendency to imitation and
heart pressure. Hot bread or biscuits
hastily eaten will also cause gas dur
ing digestion.
The burning or gnawing sensation
which is called by many persons heart
burn Is a result Of this gas formation
and acid outflow. The name really
means heart pain, or as many ply
sicans term it, Cardialgia.
The food tube, or esophagus enters
the stomach at the cardiac valve or
opening which is rather in close prox-
unity to the heart The pressure of
the gas in the. stomach often causes
the acid material from the gastric
juice to escape through the cardia into
the lower esophagus. The regurgi
tative sensation, together with the
pressure, causes the uncomfortable.
rather irritating heartburn.
Occasional heartburn means moth
ing to worry over except your own
bad eating habits. Careful attention
to the proper chewing of your food
and the right selection, avoiding those
foods which cause the disturbance.
will usually suffice.
A simple home remedy which will
do much to relieve the acidity is milk
of magnesia-dose, large tablespoon
full. Common saleratus (bicarbonate
of soda) may also be used. A tea
spoonful in water once or twice a
day is beneficial. 1t may cause belch-
ing, but II relieves the condition.
Do not use a severe or harsh physic,
as this may serve to aggravate rather
than relieve your heartburn.

LETTER FROM LESLIE PRES
COLT TO LESLIE PRESCOTT,
CARE OF THE SECRET
DRAWER

You viii remember, dear little Mar
ouise. that I told you of hearing
Jack say over the phone he would
see someone at o'clock. OF course
I was all curiosity and some way
had an intuition that 1t was Sydney
Carton.
Sydney Carton, as you know, is
Jacks best friend and I have always
rather felt that I had separated them
in some way, for sincs our wedding,
where he was the best man, he has
never been to visit US although he
has continually accepted invitations
only TO break them.
had a feeling, little Marquise,
that Jack blamed me for this. He
always acted so Queerly when I spoke
of Syd-as he calls him. 1 could
never tell whether Jack was trying to
keep his friend and me apart or
whether his friend didn't want to
meet me.
was almost braken-hearted the
other day when I heard Jack tell a
business friend of his who was at
our house at dinner that we had not
seen sgd here since our marriage,
and the man answered with rather
a smirky laugh. Yes, isn't 1t strange
how wives break up LIFELONG bachelor
friendships7"
am sure, little Marquise, that
you know 1 wouldn't break up any
| fri ~ u-hn hn
friend was a man or a woman. /
hope I am broad-minded enough to
realize that even If I didn't care for
Jacks friends It was no sign Jack
wouldn't care for them.
Sometimes 1 have thought that
possibly Sydney Carton didn't like
me and sometimes have thought
there was some peculiar knowledge,
some secret which Jack has told his
friend and told him to keep from me
that has made him so much afraid
to meet me.
Although once in while I have
thought she was a little old-fash-
Toned, mother was right, dear little
Marquise, when she said in her last
letter that probably the first three
years Of married life were the crucial
ones. Every day am finding out
something about my husband that J
never knew before.
If anyone had told me that Jack
could have been so completely en-
crossed in his own affairs, so en-
tirely determined to get for himself
what he wanted at the cost of any,
thing that. might. happen to me or
anyone else who cared for him,
would have insisted that person knew
nothing about my husbands char
acter, temperament or ideals. And
yet he forget all about my father s
serious illness. He put me in a posi-
ton that I am sure he would never
allow me 10 put him in He humil-
lated my pride in way that I prob
ably will never forget.
Oh, guess, little Marquise, that
I had better go and read that part
Of mothers letter over again where
she said, Whenever you feel that
maybe John is not as fine and
splendid as you first imagined. do
not forget that he may be having
the same disappointment in you
