Gas ReIieUed
System Clea1sed

nNE of the first effects of Ad-
lerika is to relieve gas on the
stomach and gas bloating. Often
ONE spoonful brings out a surpris-
ing amount of old poisonous mat
ter which you never guessed was
in your system and which may have
been the hidden cause of indiges-
ton, nervousness, sleeplessness
and other trouble. Even if your
bowels move daily, Adlerika fire.
Quently brings out surprising
amount of additional matter which
might poison your system.
Adlerika is not a cure-all. In
cases of gastric ulcers or deep
seated organic trouble, a good
physician should be consulted.
But if your trouble is due to In
testinal Stasis Gas most stomach
and bowel disorders are), Adlerika
gives surprisingly quick relief.
Many physicians recognize it as
the one dependable remedy for
Gas and Intestinal Stasis or when-
ever REAL bowel cleansing is
necessary.
Don't think if your bowels move
daily that you cannot have 1ntes-
tinal Stasis. Gas is one of the
most common symptoms. You'll
be surprised at the amount of ad-
ditional matter which Adlerika
brings out-and how much better
you'll feel after taking it.

Intestinal StasiS

STOMACH GAS, indigestion, gas
Obloating, and other forms of
stomach and bowel trouble are
often due to just one cause-Intes-
tinal Stasis. This increasingly
common disease, which is usually
caused by improper food, lack of
exercise, and other faults of mod
ern life, is said to afflict three
people out of every four.
Intestinal Stasis simply means
the too slow movement of waste
food matter through the intestines.
Instead of being promptly passed
out Of the bowels, this waste mat
ter remains many hours or even
days longer than it should. It
then ferments, forms gas and poi
sons, and causes gas bloating, sour
stomach, indigestion and sleepless.
ness.
A person may have Intestinal
Stasis and yet not be noticeably
constipated. The bowels may move
daily, but the movements are only
partial. Enough old matter is left
to form gas, hinder digestion ane
poison the system.

'ROAD OF HISTORY

Construction of "a road of history,
not only from Washington to Mount

Washington, was suggested last night
as a suitable observance of the hi
centennial celebra ton in 1882 of the
birth of Washington by Or. vii

by the Columbia Historical Society

Spesking of Washington as "a

sed briefly his outstanding aualif1ca-

turist and man of affairs, and showed
how his vision is responsible largely
for the present plan of this city, which

Washington, in contrast to the cold
rictures drawn by historians of an
early era, many modern historians
have not only perfected an "unfreez-
ing process" but have gone SO far
that Washington is in danger of
being roasted" DIR. Lewis stated.
"A small man cannot write great
biography" he said. "for he can see
hut one side of a many sided ma such
as was ashington. No man has
ever suffered more at the hands of
alleged historians than has Geor.a
Washington" DIR. Lewis deplored the
modern tendency to give over such
anniversaries as Washington's birth
day to sports and recreation, and
urged a return to the ideals of the
United States. the home land, and the
private home. He warned against
the falacy of thinking too much in
world terms and said that the dis.
integration of youth and the disin-
tegration of the home go on at the
same time"
Trend to Biographies.
In answer to statements holding
that not as much history is read in
these days as in former periods. DR..
Lewis stated that he did not believe
es much formal history was read but
that there was more biography in cir

afford intimate. human. elimpses of
the men and women of colonial times.
In taking up the attributes of
Washington as a statesman, he said
that his regard for the sanctity of
the Constitution would have made
him a supporter of the eighteenth
amendment had he lived in a day
when it was part of the Constitu-
ton. Washington knew how to

and attractive to the Rev. Peter
Thorne as any prim, closely coiffed
singer in his choir ever thought of
being.
A phone call that night set her
heart to humping.

Yes. All right
On Monday morning she waved an
airy hand as Thorne came through
the sunlit door.
Did you ever see such a morning?
Doesn't it make you glad just TO be
alive?"
Tuesday she missed him. What
duh, endless day! Wednesday. Had
he remembered that she always had
late duty on Wednesdays? He came
during the quiet hour when all the
world was at dinner. There was no

Sallie Beth leaned forward eagerly.

She stopped then, for Peter was
looking at her with a queer arrested
look on his face. He didn't stay long
after that, but Sallie Beth's heart
sang all the next day.
The parish house reception rooms
were humming with the chatter of
many voices as the young curate
came in somewhat late the next

Sallie found herself somehow follow

j. s. LINES FACING
LOSS Of SEA MAIL
Conference Battle Imminent
Over $1,000, 900 Post Of
flee Appropriation Item.
By Consolidated Press.

BY Consolidated Press
American steamship lines, which
have been struggling ever since the
war for some form of Government
aid, now are in danger of losing that
which they had already and on which
they had expan ded their sailhgs and
routes, namely ocean mail contracts.
The House appropriations commit
tee has denied the item involving
about $1,000,000 but the Senate APP
preparations committee put it back
and the Senate approved the action,
so that the Post Office appropriation
bill, now in conference, will be the
subject of considerable discussion.
The Post Office Department, the
Treasury, the Shipping Board, the
Department of Commerce and the
Director of the Budget, with the full
approval of President Coolidge, rec
commended the present plan as in line
with the merchant marine act of
1920. Ocean mail contracts arc moth
ing new, having been let for gen
erationS.
Rates Per Mile Vary.
The rates per statute mile for the
outward voyage vary, but the high
est rate of SO per mile is 81 less than
the maximum paid under the ocean
mail service act Of 1891. The total
compensation which the American
Lines would receive represents an in
crease over sums previously received,
but of course, is not as high as the
Government has paid under the 1891
law.
The American steamship lines say
that when Congress failed to pass a
ship subsidy bill three forms of aid
or encouragement were outlined.
These were extension of the coast
wise law to the Philippines preferen-
tial railroad rates on products booked
through on American vessels from
American railroads, and mail con-
tracts. For reasons of policy the first
two forms of aid have become dead
letters.

Solution of Tangle Seen.

There is a possibility that the tangle
may be Strengthened out satisfactorily
in conference, as it is said now that
the House committee was under the
impression that the contracts on the
mileage basis were in addition to COM
pensation paid at the rate of 80 cents
per pound, but the shipping men say
the mileage contracts were in lieu
of and not in addition to the pound
age rates.
The House committee also made the
point that the Postmaster General
had no right to make contracts be-
yOnd the fiscal year. This probably
will be sustained, though it Illustrates
the uncertainty which so many pri-
vate concerns encounter when they
try to do business with the Federal
Government and at the same time
make their own plans longer than a
year in advance. D. l..

the Mediterranean every week. The
Oceanic Steamship Co. provides the
only American service from San Fran
cisco to Australia. These are some
of the lines which happen to be the
only ones operating sufficiently fast
and regular service to the ports in
question to carry mails, so there is no
question of discrimination involved
between American ships.

The mail contract method was de-

foreign lines. In some instances the

revenue. but there are lines where it

The American lines have been build

and even increased. Thus the Mum

weeks from New York to Brazil and
Argentina, but prior to the establish

once a month and took 20 days.
Before the Grace Line was estab-
