Indigestion

Doubtless IL you are a sufferer from
indigestion. you have already tried pep
sin, charcoal, drugs, and various diges-
tive aids. and you know these things will
not cure your trouble-in some cases do
not even give relief.
But before giving up hope and decid-
ing you are a chronic dyspeptic Just try
the effect OF little Bisurated MaKnesia
not the ordinary commercial carbonate
citrate, or milk. but the pure Bisurated
Magnesia. which you can obtain from
practically any druggist in either pow
dered or tablet form.
Fake a teaspoonful of the powder or
three compressed tablets with a little
water after your next meal, and see what
difference this makes. 1t will instantly
neutralize the dangerous, harmful acid in
the stomach which now causes your
food to ferment and sour, making gas
wind, flatulence, heartburn, and the
bloated or heavy. lumpy feeling thai
seems to follow most everything you eat
You Will find that provided you take
y little Bisurated Magnesia immediately
after a meal, you can eat almost anv
thing and enjoy IT without any danger
of pain or discomfort to follow.

PARLIAMENT To
De DISSOLVED
British Premier Decides to Ap-
peal to Country on Issue of
Protection
FORECAST BY BALDWIN
Premier Premier Makes Only
Brief Statement-Unem-
pIoyment Great Problem

LONDON. Nov. 13 (By The Asso-
eiated Press) Dissolution Of parlia-
ment before the coming weekend
was forecast by Prime Minister
Baldwin at the opening of the new
session today. He announced he had
the crown to dissolve parlia-
ment as quickly as possible and he
did not see why the date should not
be next Friday.
The premier made only a brief
statement in which he said general
election was always a disturbing
element and should be got through
with as quickly as possible.
Mr.. Baldwin said in substance he
was thoroughly convinced protective
tariffs were necessary in order to
solve the unemployment problem.
The Asquith and Lloyd George
factions of the Liberal party sank
their differences this morning and
reunited to present a solid front
against the conservative protection
lists, as we'll as the Labor party III
the coming elections.
The reconciliation was effected at
n meeting of former Prenniers As
quith and Lloyd George, Sir Alfred
Mond and Sir John Simon. Arrange
ments were made for a united cam
paign by all the Liberals.
While such a move was not un-
expected by many political observers
there yet had been a great element
of doubt as to whether the two bitter
political antagonists, Asquith and
Lloyd George, could be brought to-
gether. Therefore the announcement
of the reunion furnished one of the
big sensations of the day.

But President Regards Latest
Move AS Having Come Di-
reCtIy to End

WASHINGTON, Nov. tS--A1-
though the door still is open for
American helpfulness in the repara-
tions problem, President Coolidge
regards the latest move in that di-
rection as having come definitely to
an end.
The United States would find itself
unable in view of the President to
participate in the reparations in
quiry proposed by Premier Poincare
for the same reason that 1t declined
to enter the investigation suggested
by Great Britain. This reason is
that the American government con-
siders it useless and futile to make
an inquiry which is hedged about by
restrictions as to it's scope.
Great Britain it is pointed out,
has presented no invitation for par
ticipation by the United States into
reparations inquiry in which
France would not be a party conse-
quently that question is not up to
for discussion here

office This Afternoon

NEW BRUNSWICK, Nov. 13:-
Frederick Gowen, of Highland Park,
who served as deputy sheriff under
Sheriff Elmer WycSoff for the past
two years, was sworn in as sheriff in
the county clerks office at 2:15
o'clock this afternoon by County
Judge John p. Kirkpatrick. The
Bible upon which Gowen took his
oath of office was held by his young
daughter, the simple ceremony be-
ing witnessed by large gathering of
friends.
William S. Hannah, of Milltown,
was also sworn in as deputy-sheri1f.
Sheriff Wyckoff turned over the keys
of his office to the new sheriff. The
Women's Republican Club of New
Brunswick presented the new sheriff
with a bouquet of chrysanthemums
and the retiring sheriff presented
GoWen with q bouquet of roses.
Gowen was scheduled to be sworn
in at i o'clock this afternoon and
all arrangements had been made for
him to take the oath of office as sue
cessor to Sheriff Elmer Wyckotl,
whose term expires at midnight. The
county election board met at noon
today here and it was generally eX-

CAUCUS IS HELD
BY THE c. 0. P.
PasCoe May Be Speaker OF
House and Stevens Pres
ident of Senate

TRENTON. Nov. 13:-The vote
for senate president in the Republi-
can caucus stood eight to eight today
with Senator Elect Gilbert A. Bor-
ton the deciding factor. Eight are
for Stevens of Monmouth and eight
for Reeves of Cumberland, Bright
of Cape May or some other candi-
date of the anti-Stevens group 1t
requires nine to control the caucus
and Borton, therefore, hold the bal
ance of power.
Senator Roberts of Burlington,
may be the next senator Republican
floor leader, as he has the backing
of the Stevens group for this honor
and is likely to land the vote OF
Borton too. The caucus will not be
held for another week but most Oh
the senator's were here today.
Today it looked as il the slate for
the House organization would be
Pascoe of Union for speaker and
Powell of Burlington for leader. Al
though Assemblyman Coria of Attain
tic is still strongly in the race for
the former post and was denying
Pascoe's claim that he has the
votes. The anti-Saloon League is
understood to be working for the
Union county candidate and lining
UP votes for this section it was said
that Curio needs the three Camden
men to thwart the Pascoe ambition.
Whether "Davy'' Baird will do any
thing to help man from the home
county of Senator Elge was a ques-
ton being answered in the negative.
Assemblyman DelorenZo of Bergen
would also like to be House leader.
Party caucuses will probably be
called today for next Tuesday at
which time the candidates will be
decided on and steering committees
named to formulate legislative pro-
grams for the coming session.

Plan for Action

BRUSSELS, Nov. 49, - William
Hohenzollern, former emperor OF
Germany, was again figure COM
manding world attention today as
the governments of the powers made
efforts to learn more of his reported
plans for returning to the Father
land.
Equipped with passports for him-
self and members of his suite, the
Ex-Kaiser is said by local news
paper to be prepared to establish
either himself or his son, former
Crown Prince Frederick William, on
the throne of the empire on Decem-
ber 4.
There was no official conformation
of the activities at Doorn House, nor
was Williams destination in Ger-
many suggested. Private messages
from the little Dutch village. how
ever, said that courier yesterdav
delivered there twelve passports per-
mitting the Ex-Kaiser and his en-
tourage to re-enter the FatherIand
after their five years in exile. Cipher
messages are also said to have been
received at the castle during the
day.
1t is pointed out here that William
has been keeping in close touch with
the monarchists in Germany. ana
that he has hoped for some time thar
the situation in the Fatherlan,1
would shape itself favorably for his
return. 1t is also believed that the
former emperor would regard Hol
land as perhaps an insecure place Of
refuge, in view of the protest lodged
by the powers at the return of Fred

CONGRESS

tiOnaI Issues
BY GEORGE II. MANNING
Washington Corresponding of the
Perth Amboy Evening News)

WASHINGTON, Nov. 13:-With
the meeting of the sixty y-eighth con-
gress now less than three weeks off
administration officials, politicians OF
both parties, lobbyists, political
dopesters, and all the other het-
erogeneous elements which go to
make up the life of the national cap
ital, are busying themselves with
making a final survey and stock-tak
ing of the various phases of the situ-
alton with which the legislative body
Will be confronted when it conyenes.
On the whole, there have been
very few events of note during the
period since the last congress went
out last March which have produced
any marked change in the state of
the nation. The summaries of i'm
portant matters left hanging over at
that time to be dealt with by the
next congress which were compiled
Immediately after the adjournment,
and the early summer forecasts of
the program which would be map
ped out for attention this winter, re-
main, with but slight change, fairly
accurate guide to the affairs of the
new session.
The death of the late President,
casting its pail over the entire coun-
try, has produced radical alterations
in the strictly political outlook. But
as far as the affairs of the govern
ment and the administration are
concerned, no sweeping changes
have been wrought. The same cabi-
net continues to operate along the
same lines that characterized the
Harding administration, under the
leadership of a new chief whose first
act on assuming office was to an
nounce allegiance to the Harding
policies, and whose subsequent rare
pronouncements have given no clue
as to any contemplated departures
from them.
