CHAMBER OF COMMERCE CALLS
WALTER s, wynn AN into SERVICE
AS PRESIDENT OF ORGANIZATION

individuals not actively engaged in
business to join the Chamber of COM
merce and to serve on committees do
ing work which affects the community
as a whole.
In this connection, Secretary Fol-
som said last evening:
1.-THE Chamber of Commerce, func-
tioning as it does in the capacity of
a community clearing house, does not
by it's bylaws exclude anybody, who
is in sympathy with the work at
tempted by this organization and it
was felt that something should be
done to enable a great many more
people to join, thereby making IT a
real community organization.
There is every reason to believe
that a Women's Division, a Farmers
division. a Civic division, q Mercan-
and many more equally as important
could be formed with no great diff
Guilty and a large number of active
committees could function under each
if a satisi. Glory due rating could be
established.
1.-THE members of the Chamber of
Commerce of this city compose one
of the most powerful and influential
bodies in the state and those who
join do so with the knowledge that
they are forming an alliance with an
crga nization which stands. and al
ways has stood for the upholding of
all that is best for the state and it's
people.
Support of the Chamber means d
stronger community, a more prosper
Gus locality and the upholding or a
body which is a source of prosperity
to this city.
The Board Of Directors, after CIV
ing all plans due considerable found
that they could not within a reason
able time work out a s. stem which
would meet with the approval of all
members of the Board. However, a
committee, consisting of Messrs.
Swift. Mclean. Williamson, Adams
and Barker was appointed to work
out one definite plan and present it
for the consideration of the Board of
Directors at the next meeting Ito be
held on Friday afternoon at four
o'clock
Twelve Of the fifteen members of
the. new Board were able to be pres
ent and if the extreme interest shown
in the work during the past several
meetings, both by Directors and
Members. is any barometer OF the
interest and enthusiasm to be shown
in the future, the success of a real,
live Chamber in Augusta is assured.
The work of the Chamber of Com
merce becomes more widely known
each day, and those who formerly
took only a passing interest in much
of the work being done are steadily
realizing the vast Importance and
necessity of combined effort in the
many community projects.

ACIDS IN STOMACH
CAUSE INDIGESTION
Create Gas, Sourness and Pain
How To Treat

Medical authorities state that nearly
nlne-tcnths of the cases of stomach tro,i.
PIE indigestion, sourness, burning, gas,
pioating. nausea, ETC.. are due to an ex-
cess Of hydrochloric acid In the stomach
ana not as some believe to a lack of di-
gestive juices. The delicate stomach lin
ing is irritated. digestion is delayed and
food sours, causing the disagreeabla
symptoms which every stomach sufferer
Knows SO well.
Artificial digestents are not needed IN
such cases and may do real harm. Try
laying aside all digestive aids and instead
get from any druggist a few ounces Of
B1surated Magnesia and take a teaspoon
ful in quarter glass Of water right after
eating. This sweetens tho stomach. pre-
vents the formation of excess acid and
there is no sourness. gas or pain. Bis
urated Magnesia Tin powder or tablet
form-never liquid or milk is harmless
to the stomach, inexpensive to take and
Is the inost efficient form OF magnesia FOR
stomach purposes. It is. used by thou
sands Of people who enjoy their meals

mothers of these children and the
quota for Augusta and Hallowell Will

The back to the church movement

the things for which the salvation
Army as always stood. In the past
year the local corps has had over
$4,000 people in its street audiences

BRITISH FRIENDLY
WITH RUSSIA But
WILL MAKE NO LOANS

London, April 14.-(By A. P.)-The
task of converting Great Britains de
jure recognition of Russia, which was
accorded the Union Of Soviets February
1 in fulfillment of the Labor party's
campaign pledges into practical
working arrangement which it is hoped
will settle all past differences and re-
establish normal trade and political re-
lations between the two countries, be-
gan this morning when the Russian
mission under Christian Pavowsky met
with the British delegates headed by
Premier Macdonald at the big horse
shoe conference table in the ambassa-
doris room of the foreign Office.
In his welcoming address Premier
Macdonald summed up the whole pur-
pose of the conference in the sentence:
You want political countenance and
financial assistance from us, and we
want neighborliness and recognition of
international obligations"
The Labor premier told the Russians
that Great Britain. by according the
Soviet government full diplomatic sta
tus, had taken the first step, and added
that it was a pretty big one.
Let US together take the second
step and justify the hopes Of many
millions who look upon this meeting
with so much expectation" he con-
cluded.
Neither Premier MacDonald's nor NJ.
Rakovsky's opening addresses before
the delegates went beyond the broad
generalities of the difficult problems
to be settled. The British view is that
the entire fate. of the meeting rests
upon the amount of confidence the So
Wet government representatives are
able to create in the minds Of the
British and world public; by their con-
duct here and their attitude toward the
Russian debts and other international
obligations which the British will in
sist that the Soviet government Will
recognize.
Unless such recognition Is forthcom-
ing there is little possibility of Russia
obtaining credits or loans in this coun-
try, for. as Mr.. Macdonald pointed out,
the British credit is not in govern
ment banks but in the deposits of pri-
vate individuals and unless the mass
of the people is satisfied that those
who want credits are fair and honest
in their dealings none are likely to be
obtained.
Although the British premier did not
mention the facts this morning, it is
authoritatively understood that there
is not the slightest possibility of the
British government making loan to
Russia. no matter how successful the
present conference may be from the
British point of view. All loans and
credits must be privately negotiated
with British bankers.
