TAKE SALTS IF
STOMACH ISN'T
ACTING RIGHT
Says lad Salts Relieves Excess
of HydrochIoric Acid.

Undigested food delayed in the
stomach decays, or rather ferments,
the same as food left in the open
air, says a noted authority. He also
tells us that Indigestion is caused
by Hyperacidity meaning there is
an excess of hypdrochloric acid in
the stomach which prevents COM
plete digestion and starts food fer
mentatiOn. Thus everything eaten
sours in the stomach much like garb-
age sours in a can, forming acrid
fluids and gases which initiate the
stomach like toy balloon. Then we
feel a heavy, lumpy misery in the
chest; We belch up gas; we eructate
sour food or have heartburn, flatu-
lence, Water-brash or nausea.
He tells us to lay aside all diges-
tive aids and instead get from any
pharmacy four ounces of Jad Salts
and take a tablespoonful in a glass
of water before breakfast and drink
1t while it is effervescing, and fur
thermore, to continue this for a
week. While relief often follows
the first dose, it is important to
help neutralize the acidity, remove
the gas-making mass, start the liver
stimulate the kidneys and thus pro
mete free flow of pure digestive
juices.
lad Salts is inexpensive, and /.
made from the acid of grapes anC
lemon juice, combined with lithia
and sodium phosphate This harm
less salts is used for many stomach
disorders with excellent results.

SAYS
Railroads Should Consider
Them, He Contends, But
House Passes Bill.

That the Baltimore and Ohio rail-
road and other systems running into
Washington should be given to un-
derstand that the citizens Of the
District have some rights which
must be considered, was the opinion
Of Congressman Blanton of Texas
expressed last night during consid-
GRAFTON of the bill to permit the
construction of an elevated siding
across H street and Florida avenue
between First and Second streets
northeast.
The action of the Baltimore and
Ohio, he said, in asking the Govern.
ment to vacate the Plaza property
a few days before adjournment. was
a trick to force the Government to
purchase the track.
Notwithstanding Blanton's urgent
appeal to the House to reject the
measure, it was passed.

RIGHT To SEIZE.
COAL PLEAD
NEW YORK
Wickersham Tells !. c. c. Of
Suffering While Fuel Goes
to Canada.

The plea Of New York that the
Interstate Commerce Commission
take immediate drastic steps to. re-
lieve the dangerous fuel shortage
now prevailing in the upper section
of the State, will be taken under
consideration today by the COM
mission.
The New York fuel administra-
ton, through George H. Wicker
sham, jr., it's counsel, and Edward
G. Griffin, deputy attorney gen.
eral of. the State, asked the COM
mission to do these things:
Make an order to facilitate
movement on the Delaware and
Hudson railroad by declaring all
coal now blockaded in the territory
north of Albany, out of interstate
commerce.
Wants Priority Orders.
Tissue priority orders for 26S
carloads of coal now en- route from
the mines to Northern New York
in order to expedite their delivery.
~S-Legalize seizures of coal when
made by Maj. Gen. George w.
traitor, to relieve urgent needs, the
State of New1oYork to assume full
liability for any damages that may
accrue.
The commission will give a short
hearing today to counsel for the
Delaware and Hudson, who will
tell the commission that in view
of the fact that the road is CO.
operating to the fullest extent with
the commission and the New York
<uel administration, further action
by the commission at this time is
not necessary.
Wickersham told the commission
ne believed it had full powers under
the emergency coal act adopted by
Congress last September to take
the steps suggested by General
Goethals.
Urges Coal Seizure.
"Some of our people are without
coal and are unable to get any coal,
while coal is going through their
localities destined to Canada" he
declared. Canada is receiving
more coal than it did last year and
we are helpless to prevent it while
our own people are suffering"
Urging the commission to legalize

authorities when seizd to relieve a.

State of New. York would fix the
price and if any loss is sustained
pay any damages accruing from
such seizures.

ganization where a mutual sick benefit association
has not yet been formed is the loser; and the men
ought to get together and start such plan
soon as possible The organization is very simple.
Here's the easiest way to go about it:
Get your fellow workmen together and tell them
about the plan; when they decide to go ahead have
a committee elected or appointed to draw up con-
stitution and bylaws. This committee at once
consult with the officials of the company; they will,
as has been proved by experience, be glad to do
anything in their power to help in the formation
of the association. Often they contribute to the
treasury, and in any they will give the best
advice about the clerical work and other technical
ties 1t has been found that the paper work of such
an organization amounts to about one days work
per week for man; this is usually done by some
one in the office, his pay for the job coming out of
the treasury.
trio Company the International Harvester Com
pany, the United States Rubber Company-to name
only three of the big organizations that have
tual sick benefit associations-and get copy of
their constitution and bylaws. They will be glad
to send it and to give any advice that may help;
their documents will prove invaluable guide
for drawing up your constitution.
With the constitution and bylaws prepared,
report to your fellow members, have the constitu-
ton voted on-some may suggest amendments
and elect officers: president, perhaps vice
president. secretary to keep record of the meet

of the associations go to outside companies
and take out policy; bat-that isn't always
satisfactory it might be-. In one case
an insurance company gave the men policy at
such low premium that they lost money and had
to raise the rates to prohibitve height the next
year; then too the insurance companys doctor, who
must follow up and report on them, coming
he does from the outside, sometimes causes fric-
ton, interference and dissatisfaction; and the

not always the case. of course; and it may well
prove simpler to take out policy and let the in
surance company do the work. That is matter
for individual Judgment. My point is that any or

ZEN a workman gets hurt
in doing his regular work
he is taken care of by the
Employers Liability Law.
He doesn't have to worry
about where his pay is
coming from while he's
laid off. That is the right
thing, of course. 1t is just
that a man injured in the
course of his daily routine
should be compensated for
the time he loses in re-
covering from his injuries

and protected in case of total disability.
But what happens if he gets sick? Here, obvi-
ousy, he can't look to his employer for compensa-
ton. He is likely to be laid up for some time,
losing his wages during that period and having
doctors bills to pay; and his savings the only
bulwark he has to keep off the danger of getting
hopelessly into debt. What's the answer? In
surance, you say. Right, but individual insurance
costs money. Group insurance, then? Some of
the big insurance companies give that sort of
policy at a lower premium than they would charge
individuals. Yes that can be done; but
If wanted to be sure that in case of sickness
I'd be taken of, financially and medically as
we'll; if l wanted to get that certainty at a much
lower rate than I could from the insurance COM
panies; if wanted to do that and at the same time
be sure my interests were well protected-Pd start
doing what many of the biggest firms of the coun-
try are doing: organizing mutual sick benefit
association
These associations work so that when "a man
has to lay off on account of sickness he is pro-
tected to the extent of half his pay during the
period of his absence, with a medical attendance
and visiting service if needed; and he is Wis
tied by his own doctor-his own and that of his
fellow workers-doing away with the necessity of
having the insurance company's doctor come and
report on the case; and those facts added together
make another and big one: when knows
that he Is not losing his entlre wages and Is sure OF
competent medical attendance from doctor he
knows and has confidence in, Old Man Worry. is
going to find no welcome the mat when he tries
to get in. That means quicker recovery; sick
man who worries is holding himself back from get
ting we'll and there's surer way to bring
worry than to know you're losing money every day
you stay in bed.
YT,HE big fact about these mutual sick benefit as
sociations is that they are organized, admin
istered and kept running by the members
themselves. They have their own committee, col
lect their own Dues and pay their own benefits if
they wish. The experience in big companies where
this plan has been tried has been that the shop
morale is greatly improved, the incidental dis
tress that must come when a is taken sick is
done away with, and able to get medical
treatment that they could not otherwise afford.
When man got sick before, he often had to de-
pend on some ones passing the hat for him; no
one likes to take charity, and that's what it
amounted to.
The whole plan of mutual sick benefit
citation is really form of group insurance; and
