GAS IN THE STOMACH

Overcome Trouble Caused by Fer

Indigestion

Gas and wind in the stomach accom-

eating are almost certain evidence of
the presence of excessive hydrochloric
acid in the stomach, creating so-called
''acid indigestion"
Acid stomachs are dangerous because
too much acid irritates the delicate lin

gastritis accompanied by serious stomach
ulcers. Food ferments and sours, Great
ing the distressing gas which distends
the stomach and hampers the normal
functions of the vital internal organs,
often affecting the heart.
1t is the worst of folly to neglect such
serious condition or to treat with ordi-
nary digestive aids which have no neu-
tralizing effect on the stomach acids. In
stead get from any druggist few ounces

THE FEDERAL RESERVE

The fact that this country has un-
dergone no devastating panics since
the Federal Reserve System began
efficiently to function is worthy of
consideration, especially as there is
evidence .that interests are seeking
to. make use of it for political pur-
pd6es. Four years ago it was de-
ndunced in certain quarters as the
"tSol of the interests" and when it
reduced imitation. a howl went up
from the tall grass that it spelled
ruination to the farmers.
Notwithstanding the howl. not
wAhstanding perfection cannot be
claimed for the system, notwith-
st4nding it's comparatively short ex-
petience, it did stabilize business
during and after the war. And
those who recall the apparent in
evitability Of panics at certain per-
iods, who are mindful of the de-
stiuctive force of business upheav-
ala at certain periods in the previous
cehtury-many recall the terrible
coalitions in the panic of 1898 and
aghin the panic conditions Of 1907,
ofswhich it has been said the dis
asters resulting resembled those of
war in the financial world, where
wreck and ruin were widespread
will wish to avoid recurrence of
those conditions. Such would come
were this system strapped or amend
ed. into the form of a political tool.
Readers Of history learn that
!, jackson had cause for objection to
the political influence exerted by the
United States Bank, which he finally
killed. There will be a Staying of
the Federal Reserve If it is to be
made over to please the fancy of
either Wall Street or the so-called
agricultural blocs. The latter are
said to be sharpening their pruning
hooks for an assault in the next
Congress.

WE ARE ALL CONCERNED

Every resident of the country is
,,ore mr. less concerned when the
legal machinery of any locahty
breaks down or is overloaded. When
the laws Of Congress are virtually
dsfied because there is not sufficient
power of enforcement nor courts
enough to handle the cases OF those
apprehended in breaking the laws, II
then happens in effect that laws are
being made for some and not 1or
others; also that our lawmakers are
engaged in making laws while not
making suitable provision for the en-
forcement Of those laws, truly de-
plorable situation.
That we are in such a situation
there may no longer be doubt. II
has excited repeated comment but
specific cases are now clamoring for
attention. U. S.. District Attorney
Buckner Of New York speaking be-
fore the Georgia Bar Association OF
the Federal laws pertaining to immi-
grafton, pure food. narcotics, Gus
toms, postal. interstate shipment
laws not to mention prohibition de-
clared:
1--WE cannot enforce these laws In
New York with our present machin-
cry. We are crushed under them.
We have to pick and choose. Co
creed to a choice, l propose so far
as I can to select the important vio-
lators Of the law instead of the I'M
important lawbreakers.
Think that over. OF what use to
heed whether Congress do pass
laws? OF what use our prescribed
methods of law administration If it
is to be left in the final instance to
a Federal district attorney to decide
what IL any of these he will attend
to? Our situation with respect to
those conditions would be ludicrous
were it not alarming.

Editors Letter Box
DOES NOT APPROVE
LYING FOR MONEY

Mr.. X. j.:
That was a good editorial in Fri
days Journal and 1t is needed to
make some people think.
There may be those who approve
of making the most of this horrible
affair, even to the extent of aiding
the monster who committed the
crime. But some of us have been
disguised at the way Kirby has been
allowed to enjoy his spectacular
role
After such an atrocious deed as he
committed, he deserves nothing but
punishment, and unfortunately there
is no punishment adequate to the
BRINE. The people of Kennebec
county want their officials to see that
he is granted no more privileges
visitors either for his profit or theirs.
He has confessed to an awful
crime and there is not the slightest
credit to him in the confession. 1t
was done for money just as many of
his crimes have been. And in read
ing that much sought for high-pric-
ed STORY, let no one feel that he
is reading the truth. The fact Of
his guilt was established before he
confessed and the low down wretch
is glad of the chance to add details
which may seem to some to palliate
his crime. And paid for it!
And now he wants to write a
book. Why should such a creature
think that respectable people would
want a book of his authorship? And
what would such a book be but q
further mass of lies told in a way
calculated to arouse sympathy? 1t
should not be allowed. The youth
of our community should not be fed
on such literature.
Nor should there be any sympathy
with kirby's desire to make money
for his wife and child. II Mrs. Kirby
is innocent of all completely in the
long series of crimes by her hus-
band, and if she can convince the
public of it, she is fortunate. Let
her take care of herself and of her
child as other women have done and
let her be thankful that she did not
meet the fate of the fine, high mind :
ed Winthrop woman. She certainly
should not expect to make capital
from the dastardly crimes OF her
lying thieving, numbering husband.
ONE OF MANY.

Mild interest was aroused, when
for the first time since the war one
skipper brought in report of sea-
serpent. The story had all the old
time flavor Of description and was
refreshing, like a pleasant glimpse of
our youthful days when no summer
passed without a sea-serpent SEN
sation. If we had only been content
to let it go at that. But no, we
must progress in sensations as we
do in other things, it seems, and now
comes a report of imminent ship
wreck when craft bumps into an
"icthyosaurus" A suspicious outlook
on theiworld is to be regretted, even
if we cannot escape the notion that
some hardpressed rum runner has
thrown overheard Belgian alcohol,
some of which passing shippers have
picked up.

FIRST GET THE PRICE

That tender meat is worth more
than tough, that it is easy for the
purchaser to be deceived by ap-
pearances, are the reasons assigned
by the Bureau of Standards of the
Department of Agriculture for de-
vising tests whereby the purchaser
may determine in advance the re-
siliency of his rump or sirloin, in
stead of leaving the ordeal to his
poor teeth.
Assuming the experts discover
what they are after and every man,
woman and child in the land Is
equipped with tests, the predicament
for some would not be unlike that OF
the fellow who bought bed-bug
exterminator. On reading the
directions he learned that it was
necessary to catch the bug before
applying the remedy.

"Trust me, 'tis something to be cast
Face to face with ones Self at last,
To be taken out OF the fuss ana
strife,
The endless cIatter Of plate and
knife,
The bore of books and the bogres OF
the street,
From the singular mess we agree to
call life,
Where that is best which the most
fools vote is,
And planted firm on ones own two
feet
So nigh to the great warm heart OF
God,
You almost seem to feel it beat
Down from the sunshine and up
from the sod" :.

When the ordinary German folk
saw their thrifty earnings swept
away during the period of imitation,
and those who supposed they had
enough to care for them in old age
were reduced to perjury by the flood
of paper marks. Hugo SHINES
amassed wealth so rapidly that when
he died a few months ago he was
rated Germany's wealthiest man.
Now follow family troubles over the
management of the great estate,
short term loans are coming due in
millions and the SHINES concerns
are said to be in financial straits and
being helped by the banks in the
hope of escaping a German panic.
One shouldn't infer from this that
the SHINES penates will have to be
pawned for black bread, but it may
be surmised the tremendous power
exercised by the father in the bust
ness and politial affairs Of Germany
will be somewhat impaired.

INCOME TAX AND SECTIONS

It will be recalled that Senator
Couzens proposes to relieve all with
incomes of less than $4,000 from the
payment of an income tax. He esti-
mates that they pay really less than
ten per cent of the total income tax
while the cost OF collection from
six million or, so of the small tax
payers is excessive.
Such a plan surely carries an ap-
peal to the small income taxpayers,
also a warning to the larger tax
payers.
It seems to be incident to average
human nature to want the other fell
low to pay the taxes; especially II
he appears to have been successful
in collecting worldly gear. This
attitude would --under. the Couzens'
plan be aggravated by sectional
spirit, most likely.
The data respecting the income
taxes for 1922, compilation of which
has been completed shows radical
difference between certain sections
of the country in respect to the
percentage they pay of the total in
come tax. The small incomes are
we'll distributed all over the coun-
try, while the larger are not.
The New York World has been
doing a little figuring to estimate
the effect of the Couzens plan. II
finds that New England would pay
1917 per cent of the total tax, New
York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania
1872 per cent, the middle west 21.4
per cent, the south east 10.4. the
south west but 81 and the Pacific
coast 81 per cent. 1t appears that
all of the country west of the Mis-
sissippi River would have $500 less
income tax payers than the state OF
New York alone. If sectional in
fiuences were not intensified by such
conditions it would be strange.

ITS SIGNIFICANCE

We believe that the Presidents

important to the country that the

rightly understood; and in no part
of the. country have they been so
misrepresented and misunderstood as
in the region he is now visiting. The
obstacles in the way of Mr.. Coolidge
are legislative, not political. He has
achieved the greatest political sue

action of benefit to the country. The

legislative support for his measures,
not political support for himself.
