Excessive gas in stomach aRd bowels
doesn't necessarily mean that your food
ia at fault or that you, have chronic

and prevent the formation Of abnormal

Go to your druggist and ask for a

BOOK BILL
TRIED AGAIN

Action at this session on the bill
to provide free textx books in Dis
trict of Columbia public schools was
forecast today when Representative
Frederick N. Zihlman, chairman of
the House District Committee, rein
troduced the measure which failed
at the last session,
An identical bill will be intro
duced in the Senate tomorrow by
Senator Capper, chairman of the
Senate District Committee. Both
bills contain minor change upon
which Senator Heflin insisted at the
last session. This is the insertion
of the word public" before
Schools" to insure against the
issuance of free text books by the

schools.
The bill is controversial and, as
such. has a chance of being passed
by the Senate and voted out by the

SEAT FIGHT SEEN
Wyoming Governor and
Woman Democrat May Be
Senate Candidates.
BY the Associated Press.

CHEYENNE, Wyo., November 25.-A
special election will be called and held
as soon as possible in Wyoming to name
a successor to the late Senator Francis
E. Warren, dean of the United States
Senate, who died yesterday in Wash
ington, w. o. Wilson, attorney general,
said last night.
The Wyoming law provides If a Sena-
tor dies during session of Congress, q
successor shall be appointed to serve
until the next general election, but If
the Senator dies while Congress is ad-
journed, a special election must be held
and a successor chosen by the people.
Mr.. Wilson said election machinery
would be set in motion as quickly as
possible, and successor probably
would be named within 80 days.
Call for the special election will be
made by Gov. Frank c. Emerson. Fol-
lowing the calling of the election, State
chairmen Of the two major parties In
Wyoming will fix a date for conventions,
at whiF'l time nominations for the cam
didacies will be made. Selections will
appear on the ballots.
Foremost among those mentioned In
connection with the conventions posi-
BILE selections are:
Republicans-Gov. Emerson, r. D.
Carey. Cheyenne, former governor;
Bryant B. Brooks, Casper, former gov
ernor; George E. Brimmer. Cheyenne:
John w. Hay. Rock Springs; w. C.
Deming, president of the United States
Civil Service Commission, Washington;
Frank w. Mondell, former Representa-
tive, Washington, and Charles E. Win
ter. former Congressman, Casper.
Democrats-Nellie Tayloe Ross, Wyo-
ming's only woman governor; @. D.
Carey, Careyhurst: L. A. Miller and
J. G. OMahoney, Cheyenne; Nels Pear
son, Sheridan, and L. E. Laird, Wor-
land.
Whatever candidate is elected at the
special election will serve until March
l, 1881. The occupant of the Office
from that time for the ensuing six years
will be named at the general election
to be held in the Fall of 1890.
Political observers of the State last
night saw the possibility of another
Emerson-Ross campaign, a contest that
has marked Wyoming politics for the
last several years. Emerson defeated
Mrs. Ross by a narrow margin in the
gubernatorial race when Mrs. Ross was
seeking reelection. This race was a
climax to an custer battle between
Emerson and the late William B. Ross,
governor, who was succeeded by his
widow.

SUPREME COURT WILL
PASS ON LARGE CLAIM
Chesapeake & Potomac Telephone
Co. Asks $780, 900 for
Switchboard Loss.

The Supreme Court today consented
to pass on the claim of the Chesapeake
g. Potomac Telephone Co. that the
Government should reimburse it for
approximately $4,000 lost through in
stallation of a large telephone switch
board for the War Department during
the World War.
To meet the increased demand for
additional telephone facilities, the War
Department erected a telephone ex-
change Of its own at 1923 F street, and
the telephone company equipped it with
a new switchboard at a cost of $4O1,-
113. At the close Of the World War,
when the exchange was closed, the
telephone company found it would suf-
fer a net loss in disposing of the
switchboard of approximately $4,000,
and sought to recover that amount
from the War Department. When 1t
failed it brought suit in the Court of
Claims, but again lost, the court hold
ing that there was no contract under
which the Government had promised
to protect the company against loss on
the switchboard or any facts from
which such a contract could be i'm
piled.

SENATE MAY SHIFT
COMMITTEE POSTS
Warren's Death Leaves Ap-
preparations Group With
out Chairman.

The Craftsmanship Of the powerful
Senate appropriations committee is left
vacant by the death of Senator Warren,
Republican, of Wyoming, making neces-
sary a still further reorganization of
committee assignments.
The recent death Of Senator Burton,
Republican, of Ohio, and the resignation
or Senator Edge, Republican, of New
Jersey, a few days ago to become AM
bassador to France, had created num-
Der of important committee vacancies.
The passing away of Senator Warren
means that the forthcoming committee
changes will be more numerous and i'm
portant.
The appropriations committee. headed
by Senator Warren for many years,
handles all of the annual supply bills for
the Government service. and this group
of bills will form one of the chief tasks
of the regular session beginning next
Monday.
Smo0t Is Ranked Next.
Since committee chairmanships ordi-
narily are determined by seniority, SEN
ator Smoot of Utah, who ranked next
to Senator Warren, would become head
OF the appropriations committee under
the regular procedure. Senator Smoot,
however, already Is chairman Of the
tariff and it was considered improbable
he would relinquish that position.
Next in line is Senator Jones of
Washington, acting Republican leader,
who is chairman of the commerce COM
mittee. Whether he would consent to
give up this Craftsmanship was mat
ter Of conjecture, and the Senator de-
clined to discuss the matter.
OF the remaining eight Republican
members Of the committee all but two
already are chairmen of committees
and the other two, Pine of Oklahoma
and Glenn of Illinois, are comparative
ly new members of the Senate.
Senator Hale Of Maine heads the naval
affairs committee, Phipps of Colorado
the committee on post Offices and post
roads; Keyes of New Hampshire, pub
lie buildings: Bingham of Connecticut,
Territories and insular possessions; Cd
die Of Nevada, mines and mining, and
Nye Of North Dakota, public lands.
Committee to Meet Soon.
Senator McNary of oregon, chairman
of the committee on committees, has
announced that he will ask all Repub-
lican Senators whether they are salts
fled with present assignments and the
committee will meet early in the regu-
lar session to make any necessary re-
adjustments. It was regarded as pos
sible that changes might be made Which
would have bearing on the new chair
man of the appropriations committee.
Senator Smoot was not prepared to-
day to discuss whether he would re-
tain Craftsmanship of the finance COM
mittee or take the Craftsmanship Of the
appropriations committee He said he
had not considered the matter.
Whether the rearrangement Of COM
mittee assignments will result in any
changes in the membership Of the Dis
trict Of Columbia committee probably
will not be known until answers are re-
ceived to the letter which will be sent
to all members Of the Senate, asking
them to indicate. whether they are de-
sirous of changing any Of their present
assignments. This QUESTIONABLE is to
be sent to all Senators by Chairman
McNary Of the Republican committee
on committees.
